Besides the RMR tonight at 9 on ESPN2, I just saw Drazan Petrovic score 44 (career high) in NJ on ESPN classic in 1993 i think over the Rocks. They're also playing the 1997 game 6 between Utah and the Rocks tonight at 8pm on EPSN classic. ------------------
They showed game 6 against Utah last night on the nba.com channel...it was like i was releaving the nightmare all over again, because someone on here said that it was game 5 with Eddie's miracle shot ------------------
They showed the game EJ dropped the 3 in about 2 hours prior to that gut wrenching game 6. I opted to only watch the games the Rockets won. I was at that game 6 and it still makes me sick when Stockton drops that shot. ------------------ Scottie, Watch your a!% when the Chuck Wagon rolls into town.
Don't tell me what happens in this game. I still think that we can win. I turned off my TV back in 1998, so I dont really think its over yet. Just frozen in time.... ------------------ Reporter asks "How close were you to the victim?" Shorty says,"Real close until the roofies wore off. Then she woke up talking about pressing charges, so I took my tongue out of her ass and left." Shorty - Marlon Wayans "Scary Movie" Go Rockets!!! SS
I watched the last 2 minutes of Game 6, soley to remember how we choked away a 7 point lead with 2:30 to go, as well as to see the Karl Malone bear hug on Drexler as Drex is trying to guard Stockton on that last shot. It was even worse than I had remembered, I still am amazed that they didn't call an offensive foul. We would have won game 7... ------------------ It's Clutch's City and we're all just living in it...
There were so many offensive fouls on the Jazz for that play it is an embarrasment to NBA officials to show that play as a great play-off moment. I thought it was Elie that Karl Malone was bear hugging. ------------------ Doink!
Kim...I saw that as well. What a pure tallent Petro was. The guy could flat out shoot the rock. Good to see old Rockets, but it's amazing to think of what that Euro could have become if it weren't for the car wreck. ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
Finally, ESPN gives the ROckets a little respect! ------------------ This is our FRANCHISE and these are the RULES - Learn it, Live it, Love it!
Now...who wants to call in the conspiracy goons, and claim that all Classic Ever shows are Gut-Wrenching Rockets and Astros losses. Classic WHA Action! I know those Gordie Howe Avco Cup games must be around on tape somewhere! ------------------
Against my better judgement... I went ahead and watched the Houston/Utah game when I got home from the RMR... even though we lost it was nice to see the older boys in action again... The feeling starts to fade after a while... You forget what it feels like to pushing for the championship... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
Now that's just tragic... I think BobFinn was the one that drove that dagger through your heart... ------------------ "Colson makes a mockery of the PG position. It's like he's out there playing 1 on 9." -- pippendagimp with some candid player evaluations.
