When Was the Last Time we saw the Rockets at Full Potential?

I agree. I enjoyed that ring more than the first one just because of the overwhelming odds we had to overcome in every series. After all these years, I still say that Utah series was the closest we ever came to being knocked out of the playoffs out of all 8 playoff series. Although 3-1 Phoenix year comes VERY close.

 

In 05 Howard was still a pretty good PF. After that year he started missing jumpers. The one jumper he made cost us Brandon Roy.
