    This is the real reason the Rockets won the championship, not because Jordan retired. The Rockets could not beat the Sonics.

    Yep, nothing to panic over yet. I am still optimistic because our defense held up.

    Right, the real ones know. Were at home celebrating like Deke laying on the court lol.

    (Just tossing this random retro info in) When Rockets did the shrewd stretch 4 Horry + Elie starting lineup in '95 playoffs, that pairing was undeafeated. To the title. Rockets NEVER did that starting lineup AGAIN :confused:. They pioneered, then maybe went too "traditional" against themselves. But as least Barkley was the correct Sonics beater

    I would really like to see more plays that leave Bari for open shots. He should be our target on offense, because the Warriors don’t have anyone that can deflect his shots. Meanwhile, he needs to avoid from plays where he needs to dribble, because his handles are just not good enough at this point. But it doesn’t change the fact that he needs to take more shots. I hope that Ime and the coaching staff will draw more plays where Bari gets the ball for an open 3 or where he cuts to the bucket. This can be a huge key for our offense success in this series.
