    Thanks for posting tinman. It's interesting to hear that from a former opponent of Mad Max.

    I don't recall Hornacek having much success against Clyde Drexler. :rolleyes: Clyde Drexler ate the Jazz for breakfast in '95.

    He did have pretty good success against Clyde in the early 90's when Hornacek was on the Suns, but what Hornacek doesn't remember is that Clyde always had success against him.

    True,true. I can say this also, if clyde doesn't let hornacek cancel him out in 97, the rockets win that series going away also. Clyde was getting backdoor cut and mid jumpered to death by jeff.

    Lateral step > flop > cry = charge

    Or

    Reach > hook > grab = steal

    And who can forget Clyde sitting on the sidelines grinning in 98, as his career was ending and Utah was on their way to the Finals again?
