[HEADS UP] Classic Rockets on ESPN Classics

Was that Bullard rubbing Costas' head while he talked? LOL. I never noticed that before.

 

Now we get to watch Nick Anderson pull a John Starks and choke all over the court.

 

anyone else think recent finals would be like 10x more exciting if they had the nba on nbc theme song? john tesh's greatest contribution.

 

What's strange is that my friends and I came out of the movies tonight with nothing to do and I randomly said "want to watch some old Rockets stuff?" and then went home to grab my Clutch City DVD set I got for Christmas. We watched the recap DVD and then went back to sort of skim Game 7.

Then I saw this thread...

 

wow, orlando's jackin 3's like no other. definitely brings back old memories.

 

tie game! let's go rockets!

 

wow I forgot how good we were. man that is a championship team.

 

Shaq could've been so much better... so scary... lol.
Even more sad is how good Penny could've been.

Now, let's get ready for Nick the Brick's entry into NBA Finals history...

 

Aaaaah, that was beautiful.... but sad that it pretty much killed his career with it... cheap price to pay for a Rockets title, though. Muhahaha...

 

Did we win?


I'm thinking we won.

I hope we win the series.

 

It's been 5 years Kam - if you aren't funny on the board by now, you need to try something else.

 

ok



remove the belt from your stomach. you need to put it around your waist.



I just recycled that one.

 

i just wanna say look at how shaq carried that team. kobe obviously played a big part but shaq was THE guy. i hope yao can reach that status someday where tmac doesnt have to do everything and yao can be like at least 50% of the offense or even better, be THE guy.

kobe had it EASY.

 

For anyone who wants to watch:

NBATV - Rockets vs. Celtics (Game 1 of the '81 Finals) NOW!

 

I always forget we went to the Finals in 81. Would of been nice to of won that one.
