post some pictures dude! there are too many 'greatest moments' remember: http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/millennium_index.html this is my favorite cause this is where the name "Clutch City" was born 7. (May 13-15, 1994) Two hours after blowing the biggest lead in NBA playoff history, the Rockets flew out of Choke City down 0-2 to the Phoenix Suns. Four days later, the Rockets flew into Clutch City with the series tied 2-2. In Game 1 of the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals, Houston built an 18-point lead but lost. In Game 2, they had a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter but lost in overtime. "I'll never forget getting on the charter flight after Game 2," Rockets television commentator Bill Worrell said. "It was like a morgue." The Rockets didn't rise from the dead until the second half of Game 3 when they found themselves behind 49-41 at halftime. Then Vernon Maxwell got hot, scoring 31 points in the second half as the Rockets won 118-102. Houston finished "Desert Sweep" by winning Game 4, 107-96, to even the series.
bleh. I'll actually have to pick one up and BUY it at Toyota Center. If anyone wants to hook me up for free, that would be great.
Goosebumps...I am conflicted on whether Yao belongs in the top 12 yet, I think Dream's tip in to win game 1 vs Orlando or even Kenny's 3 at the gun to force OT would have been better choices but at the sametime I understand Yao's importance and what he means to the franchise. :grin:
