    Watch it for humanity

    Indeed in the final 3~4 minutes the Knicks had two key fouls. Notes from the game: Horry and Herrera played their hearts out. Hakeem trusted the team completely to get the job done, something I'd never noticed before. Another of the many reasons he's the greatest Rocket.

    After watching this game again. I now feel that the Rockets overreacted to the Sonics loss in 1996. Should not of lost Cassel and Horry, what those guys did in 94 and 95 should of kept them here for as long as possible I was for the Barkley trade when it happened, but finally believe that it was the wrong move.

    I thought the biggest mistake was getting rid of those amazing uniforms
    for those joke ones in 96

    I hope they find Les Alexander with Robert Kraft at that Spa in Florida

    Ummm. Remember when Harden actually travelled against Utah this year near the end of the game?
    Not saying we haven’t been screwed over, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say calls have NEVER gone our way.

    Its like wwe style if you ask me. The Rockets are the Heels. Led by the Manipulating politician CP3 and his partner in crime the bearded Pirate Captain James Harden

    Conclusion is the refs don't help the Rockets and it's been a NBA and NY/LA Media conspiracy. Marv Albert was slob knobing the Knicks even as the game was basically over with.

    Except the Knicks are so bad the refs can't 'help' their way to a title

    You hit all my memory points except all the missed calls The Seattle Supersonics got away with by hacking dream like he was a redwood tree with no ref or the illegal defense they got away with every game

    To me, Dream is the most fouled player in Rockets history for sure.
    He played in the paint during the no hand check rule. He was double, triple and quadruple teamed all the time.
