Elie! Maybe him and Max can talk to Bev and Harden about what it takes. D-Mo and TJ can then talk with OT! Pick his brain on boxing out, toughness, playing next to a dominant center etc.
Cool to see Elie tweeting about this event and Clutch City in general. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Excited for the Rockets <a href="http://t.co/GPKkhiyJ5U">http://t.co/GPKkhiyJ5U</a> fans in basketball.Helped us win back 2 back championship.<a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a></p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577933780389740545">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Excited to see OT,VMAX,TB,KS30,SC10,S.BROOK,CD22,and OF Course the GOAT at center HO34.Lets put the band back together.<a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a></p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577934708513738753">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-cards="hidden" lang="en"><p>Thursday <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a> celebrate Clutch City, what was your fave memory of 93-95?Hope to c u Thurs w/my teammates <a href="http://t.co/25HhyPVjOS">pic.twitter.com/25HhyPVjOS</a></p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577893045691023361">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/atk_713">@atk_713</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a> Hakeem was giving a great center the business that series.Robinson had a great season,</p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577935703322935296">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/CaryThePerrin">@CaryThePerrin</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a> Dream bail me out,I left Dennis Scott the pervious play.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/heartofachampion?src=hash">#heartofachampion</a></p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577936119066542080">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Anthony_DSmith">@Anthony_DSmith</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a> Great Day for the city of Houston.It's 1st pro championship.</p>— mario elie (@marioelie1) <a href="https://twitter.com/marioelie1/status/577974914461741056">March 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I am so missing not being in town this week. Long live The Dream, Clutch City, Rudy T, Sammy, Super Mario. All of our guys, ALL OF'm!!!
I love that Mario and Horry both won championships with other teams, yet still consider the Rockets championships more special. Also, good to see Les and Rudy in those pics. Did they have some kind of falling out? Why is Rudy not involved with the Rockets anymore? Oh, and also.... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Otis Thorpe!

Wish they had some autograph signings. My Thorpe & Maxwell jerseys need signatures- and they never do events!
Really wish they made a bigger deal out of this than just a quick halftime ceremony. Pretty much the best time in this city's history. I guess people just don't care/the % of the fan base who does care lessens over time.
Wow, such memories. Hard to believe its been 20 years. Remember cheering those teams on in my junior and senior year of high school. When/if this city ever gets another championship(s), those teams will definitely have a special place in people's hearts who remember following those teams.
Yeah I shouldn't be at work right now. Annise is out of touch, only cares about bike routes and dog parks for hipsters.
