    Laker fans know that the Dream Rockets made it to the NBA Finals before the Jordan Bulls, and they probably appreciate that Rockets team more than some people here

    COME ON NOW!! I'm disappointed that two pages worth of posters didn't know the REAL answer to this. Tmac was constantly held by the Jazz, anytime he tried to drive they'd put a hand out to stop him and the refs didn't call it, it should be an automatic foul based on the rules. The last game in the series they called it a bit more because the rockets complained using the media. Once the season ended, they officially complained with the league. I'm pretty sure they even sent video footage. Then when the laker/jazz series began, like literally the first game, first few plays, the jazz were called for several fouls, especially some quick ones when they put a hand on Kobe. The announcers mentioned how it was a result of Houston complaining, since Utah defended tmac the same way and weren't called for it.

    Th e lakers and Jordans Bulls were the only teams to ever get fair treatment in Utah. Iwas explaining to my wife how it has always been a problem playing a fair game there. Just remember the 91 playoffs and the 12 second clock stall in Game 5
