Not sure if anyone knew this, hell I didn't even notice it til I read it on another board today. Every team that has eliminated us has NEVER gone on to win the Championship. I'm pretty sure the guy that posted it (franchise3) is a member on here also, so I don't want to take his credit for this, just thought it was pretty interesting. Seems we put our own curse on the team that beats us Im not by any means doubting our team in game 7, I think we have their backs against the wall and this series is ours for the taking if we just play OUR game Go Rockets! ----franchise3-------- No Eastern Conference team or Western Conference team that has eliminated the Rockets in rounds prior to the NBA Finals has ever gone on to win the championship. The Lakers will be cursed if they go on and eliminate the Rockets, losing in either the West Finals or the NBA Finals. 1969 --- Atlanta, eliminated by LA 1975 --- Boston, eliminated by the Bullets 1977 --- Philadelphia, eliminated by Portland 1979 --- Atlanta, eliminated by the Bullets 1980 --- Boston, eliminated by Philadelphia 1982 --- Seattle, eliminated by San Antonio 1985 --- Utah, eliminated by Denver 1987 --- Seattle, eliminated by LA 1988 --- Dallas, eliminated by LA 1989 --- Seattle, eliminated by LA 1990 --- LA, eliminated by Phoenix 1991 --- LA, eliminated by Chicago 1993 --- Seattle, eliminated by Phoenix 1996 --- Seattle, eliminated by Chicago 1997 --- Utah, eliminated by Chicago 1998 --- Utah, eliminated by Chicago 1999 --- LA, eliminated by San Antonio 2004 --- LA, eliminated by Detroit 2005 --- Dallas, eliminated by Phoenix 2007 --- Utah, eliminated by San Antonio 2008 --- Utah, eliminated by LA
