    This game is coming up Friday at noon on NBATV. I dont remember seeing this but my dad tells me that my mom missed it because she was expecting overtime and was out of the room.

    Edit: Also ESPN Classic Friday at 4.

    Didn't Dream get ejected in that game because of the punch he threw at Mitch Kupchek?

    Love my DISH DVR. Its been so long since I have seen that Rockets team play. Looking forward to watching the game with everything I have learned about hoops over the years.

    /Dream Year 2 makes it to the NBA Finals before Jordan
    (cause like 90% of the board doesn't know this)

    /Ralph gets injured in Boston (never recovered), the biggest what if in Rockets History.. this is extremely more relevant than what if that guy on our team now was not injured

    let's not forget, had ralph not been traded, we never would have gotten Joe Barely Cares...

    and who doesn't look back on his play fondly?

    Ralph's knee was the most important knee in Rocket's history. That changed everything.

    Yeah, I remember as a kid the following season after the team lost to the Celtics I was surprised they were in as poor shape as they were. I didnt learn about the drug problems until I got into high school and looked at some old articles in the library. And Sampson's injury was devastating. I thought Joe Barry Carrol was a solid big man, but when he got here all the highlights I saw of him from the Warriors were like distant memories. Same with Sleepy Floyd.
