Also, in the heights of Clipsanity, many compared blake griffin to prime barkley, the first victim of clutch city.
Dream/Clyde College teammates - Dwight/Josh AAU teammates We just need them to recreate this picture too
If we win the Championship this year we need THAT guy to narrate again. His voice is synonymous with our championships.
James said it's going to be a great battle for us against the Warriors. That statement gave me inner confidence. Our guys will lay it all out on the floor. We won't give up! Go Houston Rockets! I used the word big instead of great, which was incorrect.
This team actually reminds me of the 05-06 Heat team that went on to beat the Mavs in the Finals. A young Dwayne Wade getting to the rim at will, Shaq being a force on the defensive end lacking some of his past offensive skills and the band of role players who can hit their threes even though they weren't know as great three point shooters. That is what this team reminds me of. '95 is different. they already won a championship with the veteran core. The offense is run through the big man, Hakeem. I feel like even though the team was a 6th seed they would come to play when the game mattered. I feel like this is much more surprising.
THIS FEELS LIKE 1995... or like that list in the interwebs that compares John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln: During the 1994-'95 season, the San Antonio Spurs swept the Houston Rockets. During the 2014-'15 season, the Golden State Warriors swept the Rockets. Spurs finished as the 1st Western Conference seed in 1995. Warriors finished 1st Western Conference seed in 2015. Spurs' David Robinson won MVP and the Rockets' Olajuwon was snubbed. "He's just borrowing my MVP." Warriors' S. Curry won the MVP and the Rockets' Harden finished #2 in the voting. "I feel as though I am the MVP." In 1995, the Rockets win 3 in a row in 2nd round after being down 1-3 (Phoenix). In 2015, the Rockets win 3 in a row in 2nd round after being down 1-3 (LA Clippers). Spurs met the Rockets in '95 in the WC Championship, lost 2-4. Warriors will meet the Rockets in the WC Championship in '15. Rockets in 1995 won the NBA Championship by sweeping Orlando. Rockets in 2015...? ¡¡VAMOS, ROCKETS!!!
It's actually eerie with all the similarities between each team. History does find a way to repeat itself but this is almost history cloning itself! Regardless, I believe!

Mad Max was the nickname of championship rocket who hit the shot to seal a game 7 victory against the Knicks.
