    I sense you are true Rockets fan, you don't care about the Knicks, the only Knicks memory you have is when Hakeem destroyed New York's dream of winning a title.

    Thank you for joining Clutchfans, I'm happy a real fan joined.

    I have fond memories of that series. I won a double bet against my buddy. The first being the Rox winning the chip, and secondly "Sour face" Sam Cassell is ugliest guy in the NBA at that time and not Patrick Ewing.

    We polled about 5 girls if memory serves me right. And yes Sour Sam was the sourest of em all.

    My friends and I used to call Sam the Sectoid after the aliens in X-COM, but only in a an affectionate fan-based way. He is still one of my favorite Rockets PGs(too young to have watched Murph).

    Beverly is so much better than Lin. He shoots better, drives better, plays better defense, doesn't try to convert his teammates to bible thumping, is stronger, only an inch shorter and is more handsome. I'm glad he's starting over Lin who is going to be traded soon.

    Edited: Thanks mikus
