    Rockets Burn Bulls - As Usual

    The Bulls (28-14) sliced a 15-point lead early in the third quarter to six late in the period and did the same early in the fourth. But the Rockets went on a 12-2 run to build their advantage back to 16 at 78-62 with 7:07 left in the game and then boosted their edge to 19 with five minutes left on a fading, baseline jumper by the villainous Vernon Maxwell-his eighth point in the run.

    The Rockets (23-18), as erratic as a highly talented team can possibly be, continued their remarkable streak of success against the Bulls. They have won five straight over the Bulls at the Summit and six of the teams' last eight meetings overall. They have the best record of any Bulls opponent over the last three seasons.

    Thursday night's storyline: - The Bulls went to the foul line just eight times, making six of those-season lows for both the Bulls and a Rockets opponent. - The Bulls shot just 42 percent-33 percent and 39 percent in the the second and third quarters-and had a season-low 14 points in the second quarter. - The Rockets, playing before their first sellout of the season, turned the ball over 22 times but outrebounded the Bulls 46-33 and scored 18 points off 16 turnovers. - Hakeem Olajuwon scored just six points in the second half but finished with 18 points, 17 rebounds and five blocked shots. - Maxwell drove Jordan crazy.

    Today was gonna be the day?
    But they'll never throw it back to you
    By now you should've somehow
    Realized what you're not to do
    I don't believe that anybody
    Feels the Jordan ever lost
    Not even now

    Cause maybe
    Mad Max was crazy
    and after all
    it was chicago that falls

    Carmichael thinks I hate him, but he did us all a favor!

    he shows us what the outsiders back in the day thought. See people now are mad cause the media never says the Rockets are #1, they say we're #4 or something. Back then, we were #1, and they think our championships were not legit. That's why i hope he talks forever so the newbs understand how we feel. Could you imagine if the Rockets won today and people thought it was not legit? Billions of people will be angry!

    I believe good people love the Rockets championships teams like they love hip hop

    For the people who believed the Bulls steamrolled the Rockets without checking the facts about head-to-head games that happened

    It's no secret that a clutchfan is someone who lets you help
    It's no secret that a radio talk show host won't believe anyone else
    They say a secret is something you tell one other person
    So I'm telling you...child

    They have won five straight over the Bulls at the Summit and six of the teams' last eight meetings overall. They have the best record of any Bulls opponent over the last three seasons.

    It's no secret at all

    Rockets turn Bulls inside out

    By EDDIE SEFKO
    Staff

    When the Rockets fired off a 13-2 run in the third quarter, they took a 71-60 lead. Even when the Bulls bit into the lead and pulled as close as 91-87 early in the fourth quarter, the Rockets responded, rattling off a 19-3 surge that spoke volumes about how strong the Rockets were playing and silenced the sellout crowd.

    I got an idea for a movie. Rockets make it to the finals and are the underdogs against the Bulls. Hakeem gets injured by Cartwright in the 1st minute of the 1st quarter of game one and three games later, we are on the brink of elimination. In steps the craziest Rockets fan ever, Tinman, and his loony friend DaDakota and they kidnap Jordan. They hold him while Rockets tie the series 3-3. In the end, Jordan escapes and The Dream was healthy enough to play. In a grueling game 7 match, it comes down to a buzzer beater by Jordan which Olajuwon blocks. Rockets win the championship!!!

    Credits roll as Mad Max is seen to take a box-cutter to Jordan's jugular.

    I call it "Rockets Pride". Any investors? :D

    The Rox and the Spurs were the only teams the Jordan led Bulls had a losing record against. Ewing and the Knicks were good, but Dream used to kill their centers and he was a true eraser. Basically, Jordan was turned into a 20ft jumpshooter. As much as people hate on Robinson, during the regular season, he was the only center that could match dreams quickness,agility, and speed. Robinson right now would be the best center in the game. That's saying a lot becaue he was like 3rd or 4th when he played.

    bigez,

    for some reason, us Sirius subscribers got screwed over in the merger.
    We get the NFL, but we have to pay extra for the NBA. Is NBA Radio still on? Full Court Press, is that on XM? I miss your takes on the Rockets etc on that national level.

    Hmm, about a few fans say its the first time they've ever heard of this.
    this is good news, now the fans can see the truth and that our heroes were heroic.

    I do see that some people don't even care or believe that it happened.
    Sad but true
