I remember watching this game at my cousins house and we had a bunch of people over and I just remember everyone going crazy miss the good ole days
If someone can upload this to youtube or make a torrent would really really apreciate and i'm sure those that are able to would rep you to death.
Thanks. To ElPigto and Tfor3 too. Didn't watch the whole game ever, just highlights over these years. Rudy raised both his arms after the game like he did in the Championship series, didn't he?
I watched this game at a dave and busters bar with my cousin and about 4 other people who probably hadn't ever watched a rockets' game and likely haven't since, but yet were all completely enthralled by this one. Definitely one of my favorite Rocket's moments ever. The Steve Francis era was ultimately a failure but as a fan it seemed every bit as enjoyable as the championship runs. It was all based on the potential of what could be, and it's just another example of the road leading up, being just as fun as the destination. Get well soon big fella, hopefully we can squeeze some more good memories out of you.
That was a great game, and one of the great moments in Rockets history...but man was it hard to watch that team play basketball. Didn't know how to pass, rebound, play defense, or get the ball to Yao. Luckily SF3 had a great shooting game... Get ready for something similar to that this year if Tmac isn't back by the start of the season...we have a lot of young players with a coach who'll let them play. Lets see how it goes.
A fantastic game. I took my son to this game and cause I'm cheap I don't go to too many games. Had lower level seats close to one of the baskets so I got to see Yao block Shaq the first two times when Shaq just tried to just go over Yao. After that Shaq used his quickness to go around Yao. (Remember Shaq was unbelievably quick for a man his size). I could clearly see Moses and Hakeem who were loving it on the sidelines. You had the Yao Ming fan club with Chinese signs and perhaps attire. I think you might even have had the "Yao Ming" "Yao Ming" "Yao Ming" soccer style chant going on the PA system. Franics was a stud and he kept driving to the hoop over and over and could not be stopped. What a game!!
a game that will probably never be re-aired. ESPN Classic should have been showed that game again. Too bad Tinman doesn't live in NYC. All week they have been showing Rockets vs. Knicks final games all week
why would they reair that game? it's been on youtube forever (the last part of the game). In truth, that whole game sucked and the Spurs should have won. It shouldn't have reached a point where we were desperately chucking shots. don't worry dude, I can always watch those games on the clutch city 1 dvds. I wouldn't say that McGrady's best Rocket game was the one where he was chucking desperation 3s. Probably game 1 or 2 of the Mavs series was his best.
Watching that game reminded me of the promise that team had....Steve was amazing, and Yao played ok, but you could see that the team was so undisciplined that they won despite themselves. Might be a glimpse of what we'll see this season with a guard dominated offense.
