    I hope Elie stays around the team for game 6. Another speech about being down 3-2 is just as important as the one about being down 3-1.

    Bullard was not a big contributor in the championship years. In 1994, he scored four points in the four playoff wins in which he participated. In 1995, he was in Greece.

    Bullard's best year as a Rocket was probably 1998. My favorite Bullard game was in the lost years (early aughts) when the Rockets ended their eleven-game losing streak against the Spurs. Bullard made six out of seven three-pointers. I listened to this game on the radio and celebrated like it was a championship. Couldn't stand the Spurs...

    Should wear throwback '95 jerseys with Clutch City on the front for game 7. Intro should be highlights from the '95 run set to rocky music.

    Tinman... this may shock you but... there'd likely not be clutch situations if both Parsons and especially harden hadn't shot so miserably poor....

    You know, there IS a game going on prior to the final 2mins of the 4th quarter... Try watching it sometime...

    Bring in this man:

    [​IMG]

    The CBA saw Chucky Brown play for the Grand Rapids Hoops in 1993 and Yakima Sun Kings in 1994 and 1995. He became the second player to earn both an NBA ring and CBA ring in the same season.

    And as much as it may pain you to hear it... Without JLin's unlikely breakout game this series.... Parsons nor Harden get an opportunity to be "clutch" in the final moments...

    It would've been a loss...


    So.... unless you expect that to happen again... Let's not excuse the poor shooting from our number 1 and number 3 scoring options...

    I don't think you can wear alternate jerseys(Although I'm sure the Lakers get away with their Sunday whites) or throwback jerseys during the playoffs.

    Would be nice though.

    Listen to who Mr. Horry calls a clutch player at 4:15

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oEBETTilhtE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    (also, he mentions the 1995 championship as his favorite and the game-winning shot against S.A. in 1995 as his favorite clutch shot if you watch the whole thing).

    Kids, listen to him explain why 1995 was one of the greatest championship runs in history. Horry nailed it. Starting at :53.

    Can some explain this defense? Weak double team in the backcourt, Kenny gets the pass out easily... ends in wide open corner 3?
