All I remember after we won is seeing Hakeem on the bench in denial. Afterwards some friends and I went cruising in my dad's 68 Chevelle and the amount of girls screaming on the streets made me appreciate it even more (I was 15) great memories
Time has proved how rare it is to have a team come together like this one did. 1995 was great too, but many expected us to win that year. Not so in 1994.
I was tortured by the fact that the Knick were actually competitive. I saw this as a route. It wasn't. So credit to them. I don't know how Ewing had 30 blocks in this series either because he was outclassed. What a great win against a big city. I am thankful Indiana never made it a who cares series. So many clutch moments and big dunks.
Yeah. Olujuwon was obviously more skilled than ewing on paper. Don't forget olujuwon was shafted for MVP and the media knew yet they hated because olujuwon was from Nigeria! #facts
the 93-94 dvd set of the finals had the game without the oj chase. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NBA-Housto...495047?hash=item1a95178047:g:0P4AAOSw1adeROGi
Only bad thing about 1994 rockets championship was that Clorox white shirt. If you lucky u bought the black championship tshirt. It didn't take long to dirty up that white tshirt.
that's weird about the knicks. it was a 58 win team vs a 57 win team when the conferences were balanced. according to: https://www.sportsoddshistory.com/nba-playoffs-series/?y=all&o=s we were -220 against the knicks and only -270 against the 1st round trailblazers, who were undoubtedly a way worse team than the knicks (also the preseason odds somehow had the cavs 3rd to win the title. yeah, they weren't terrible back then, but 3rd? charlotte was tied with us at +1200). our western conference opponents in 1995 were all -270 or better. this year was the first year we've been better than +1000 since '98-'99. the '87-'88 rockets were +700. no idea how that happened. another tidbit. while i understand harden disappearing (with a concussion) in the spurs series a few years ago looked bad, and i know kawhi was out game 6, i've never understood why the narrative was that we essentially threw away a gimme series and why it plays into this "great in the regular season, terrible in the playoffs" rocket narrative. the spurs were a 61 win team, with homecourt advantage, with popovich as coach, that was -300 to win the series. even if you knew beforehand that kawhi would miss game 6, i doubt the odds would have been close to in our favor.
These games were not great to watch, but they weren't much worse than Jazz Bulls 80 point snoozers. Today's games are way better
