    Maxwell is the kind of man the Rockets need right now.

    I was at that game too. Before it was over with less than a minute to go(and I believe before that Barkley flagrant), the announcer who I think was Matt Thomas at the time actually told the crowd that tickets for the WCF would go on sale after the game. That could not have sat well with the Suns to be taunted like that before you've officially lost the game. And it took some stones considering how many leads the Rockets had blown in that series.

    Which series did Barkley have a game where was like 0-11 from the field, and when he went to the bench, the crowd at the Summit taunted him, Barkley, Barkley, Barkley...

    Yes sir. I met him twice as well. Once was him and Cassell at Fonde and they both were real cool. The funny thing is I had on a Maxwell jersey and my brother had on a Cassell jersey. They let us play with them, even though the guys running the gym tried to make us get off the court. I was about 13 or 14. I think it was the year after they won the first one.

    That would be Game 3 in 1995. The Rockets lost Game 4 the next day and went down 3-1.

    I was at that game (the Barkley chant game) that was teh awesome!

    Those days were the best, incredible crowd, the team seemed like brothers that backed each other, were hard w/o being nasty (a la Pistons) and I loved the stinky 'ol summit!
