    Seattle was playing out of their minds, but there is no doubt in my mind that cocaine ruined the Rockets' season that year (even though they were underachieving at the time of Mitchell Wiggins' and Lewis Lloyd's suspensions). Wiggins and Lloyd could have made a big difference in this series... in Game 6, Robert Reid was 8-25 and Steve Harris 2-12 from the field. And almost forgot about Nate McMillan's pick of Dirk Minniefield that was a backbreaker.

    Dale Ellis was absolutely ridiculous in this series though.
