    I'll take the last 8 years again in a heartbeat. Love cheering for someone that you could legit argue was the best in the game and one of the best in history. Harden is the craftiest basketball player that has ever played. Every movement is deliberate

    Francis was very entertaining. One of the most exciting rockets ever

    I never understood how Steve could be so bad on the fast break. If it wasn't an alley oop to Cato, it was a turnover...

    Highly doubtful.

    The Francis trade would have looked a lot better for Vancouver if Dickerson's knees hadn't disintegrated within 2 years of the trade. He had a solid rookie year for us and a great 2nd year with VAN. Them's the breaks.

    Steve was too athletic for his own good...It's that work you don't see that pays off deep into the playoffs.

    They tried the mega swap again for Eddie Griffin. Unfortunately that went up in....

    Rudy T and Dawson were awesome GM's. They made things happen. Morey was awesome but CD years brought alot of awesome moves.

    Rockets won the trade hands down. Francis got us T-Mac. T-Mac got us Kevin Martin. Kevin Martin got us Harden.
