Not sure why you're so bent out of shape about such small details and not the big problem. I have two words for you that concisely sums up why we keep losing to them. Illegal Defense
rocketsjudoka, the Rockets lost that game not because of Stockton's 3 but because Clyde shot the damn ball with seconds left on the clock with the score tied. It still til this day gives me nightmares becuase at worst we should of went into overtime.
Still if Malone doesn't tackle Clyde Stockton might not have gotten that shot off or the shot is waved off and it is a foul on Malone. There is a picture floating around Clutchfans of Malone tackling Drexler.
What? Bad calls can't have an effect on the outcome of the game? I've been told that so, so many times...
You're right either way its was heart breaking!! I remember turning off the tv when stockton shot that 3......when I turned it on 10 seconds later I see stockton jumping in the air. We should of gone to the finals that year, it would of been the best Finals in league history.
Wow....I didn't realize that I still had such rage bottled up somewhere inside me. Usually, I blow off bad calls as they tend to go both ways, but the Rockets have had more than their share of bad calls against them.
Dream also got fouled on last-second 3 point attempt to tie/win the game. He said the ref told him "You wouldn't have made it anyway". <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Iz7ZUzqG93c?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I couldn't finish watching that video. I felt my blood pressure go straight up into the stratosphere. What were those refs on? Crack??
At least Kenny made up for it later... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P1HKO2Wux2M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
