    Another great random YouTube memory.

    I remember thinking "We're gonna sweep.. " when they played "It's a Small World" for the Magic introductions.

    Yeah, that was just cold. I laughed, but it was pretty harsh. Could have backfired against a tougher team.

    I really miss old Matt Thomas. He’s so “whiny “ with the announcements now.

    Me too. The free parking was fantastic....the building was so much more intimate than Toyota Center. Oh, well.

    That was only the 5th time the Rockets played that starting lineup. They didn't start until the 6th Game of Spurs series. Many forget Rudy made that adjustment at 2-2 in the WCF to make sure they got Rodman out of the lane.

    That was wrong to do the Magic. Funny but wrong. We as Rocket’s fan would want that to happen to us. Things really have changed over the years. Litigation by halftime in today’s world. Funny but wrong.
