    Yes - those Rocket's teams were nails in the playoffs. we take them both years.

    The names were the same - but Hakeem and Clyde were not the same players who smoked loaded San Antonio and Orlando teams in the playoffs.

    but...the hunger was in the Sonics' court.
    but...Dream and his cast was spent while GP/SK were peaking.

    No, but Al Gore becomes president, the Jazz get Eddie Griffin, and Michael Jackson drops his kid off the balcony.

    The same could be asked of all the Bulls titles. If we were ever made the finals against them, we had their number. I always felt we had a better chance at beating them than most teams.

    I think that is totally true, I think we could have beaten Bulls teams those two years with Jordan

    That 96 Rox team was also injury-riddled. Clyde, Sammy, Mario... it was a walking MASH unit come playoff time. I don't think we lose to the Sonics if the team's at full strength.
