    AC Green also said after losing game 7, "There's no way they (the Rockets) will beat the Spurs".

    Um, right, Nostradamus.

    '94 series made Clutch City, but '95 had more drama. Historically, the '94 series was more important as it paved the way for everything to come, but the odds against coming back from 3-1 and the Kiss of Death make me choose '95.

    slightly more drama.

    Remember the Rockets lost 2 huge leads in the 4th quarter at home and that game 2 was a blown 20 point lead in the 4th (worst in nba playoff history?)

    and we were labeled CHOKE CITY by our OWN MEDIA.

    A day of infamy. Will never forget that headline in the sports section. The boomerang to Clutch City after winning game 7 was amazing.

    I forgot about A.C. Green running his mouth as well. Yea, that makes the '95 one even sweeter, IMO. tinman, I knew you would go with the '94 one. ;)

    Cassell's breakout was actually against Phoenix, he was key, but he was known more for his shot in New York.

    in 95, Horry was huge against phoenix. but Mario gets the glory cause of the shot.

    I guess in my mind if I had to pick what is "more difficult," coming back from 0-2 with the next two on the road, or coming back from 3-1, needing to win 2 on the road, I'd go with the latter.

    I give it to '95, but by a very slight margin.
