I normally don't complain about the media, but the AP has ran one of the biggest errors I have ever seen and no one bothered to edit it. So hundreds, if not thousands of publications are now running this story on the Rockets and Game 7, as well as our history against the Lakers in the Postseason. Besides the badly edited title, see if you can find the error. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...F?slug=ap-rocketseliminated&prov=ap&type=lgns paging tinman...
That 96 series with Nick Van Exel, Vlade Divac, Elden Campbell, Peeler, Eddie Jones, was a pretty fun series. Guess no one remembers it outside of Houston.
