Just for fun, and to look back on the decade that we won our back to back Championships, who would make your team of the '90's? Starters and reserves.
Hakeem Barkley Horry Drexler Smith Willis Thorpe Herrera Dickerson/Mobley Elie Maxwell Cassell That's too easy
I created a T-Mac bandwagon thread in Dish. If I would mention Scottie there, Clutch would ban me as a troll Not going to happen
Isn't the obvious answer basically the back-to-back Championship team + Barkley? So basically pretend you got to keep the 1994 team and add Clyde Drexler and Chuck without giving up Otis Thorpe, Horry, and Cassell. Ridiculous team.
Francis was drafted in 1999. I'd hardly put a guy who had played 2 months for the Rockets on their team of the decade. Same goes for Mobley (Drafted in 98, but only had the strike-shortened rookie campaign and a the first couple months of 99). Dream/Willis Barkley/Thorpe Horry/Elie/Buck Johnson Drexler/Maxwell/Jamerson Smith/Cassell
I am going to go out on a limb here in selecting 6 guards, 3 forwards and 1 center since we had only one decent center and a lot of good guards: PG: Sleepy, Kenny & Cassell SG: Wiggins, Maxwell & Drexler SF: Horry & Mobley PF: Thorpe C: Olajuwon
Mitchell Wiggins was ended his Rockets career in 1990, and you picked him? Only one decent center? How about Kevin Willis, or did you forget he spent 2 years with the Rockets (and a 3rd later on)? How do you not include Barkley over Floyd/Wiggins/Mobley? I did think long and hard about having Sleepy Floyd, as the final 2 spots were pretty hard to decide on.
Wigging was outstanding in 1990 so yes I included him. Kevin Willis is a PF imo Barkley cost us our future so no Any1 who forgets about Sleepy clearly didn't watch early 90s Rockets because he was amazing, even coming off the bench. I included Mobley because there's not enough room for him on the best of the 00s decade team
If guess I count 2000 as part of the 90s as technically it is. Jamerson though is an choice though. Bullard or Floyd performed better...
