    Anyone that complains about ticky-tack fouls in today's NBA NEEDS TO WATCH THIS GAME. I have seen 7-8 completely phantom fouls (most against the Rockets, but some against the Kings) that are as bad, if not worse, than anything in the 2006 Finals. The refs absolutely stunk in this game!

    The only job with less accountability than an NBA referee? A weather man (or weather woman).

    Isn't that the only conference finals ever where both teams had a losing record in the regular season?

    Man, watching Moses dominate- I sure hope Yao becomes as dominant a force as Hakeem and Moses. If it weren't for the Lakers, we would definitely have hands-down the best history of centers in the NBA.

    Wilt-Kareem-Shaq

    Moses-Hakeem-Yao

    To get an idea of how great Moses was at that time, look at his supporting cast.
    Billy Paultz, Tom Henderson, an aging Calvin Murphy, Bill Willoughby, Allen Levell, Calvin Garrett. Robert Reid was probably the second best player on the team, and well, it's not like you wouldn't trade him for Shane Battier.
    And that team reached the NBA Finals! And took the Celtics to 6 games!
    It's all because Moses was the best player in the league. And no one else was really close.

    Yes, that was a great playoff run for the Rockets. That was the year Moses almost took us to the promise land. Bill Willoughby can sky. I remember he block Kareem's sky hook. Wish Moses can teach Yao how to get those offensive rebound by his positioning. May be we can get Moses and get rid of Ewing. He can sure know how to teach Yao to get to the foul line.
