That's dumb... We were two wins away from the finals and got screwed by an obvious bear huh This was first round and we played crap defense on the last playy
Lulz. I wasn't a fan to have witnessed that live. But I've seen the replays and read the stories. And no, they're nothing alike nor comparable. That Stockton shot is 39580239582 times worse than this. Conference Finals. Made on a foul which wasn't called. Against our enemy. We could've been back to the NBA Finals to take on Jordan and put to rest 'Houston should have asterisks next to their championships' Meanwhile this was a first round series against a team we don't have much of a rivalry with. We weren't going to the NBA Finals and winning it this year. And this loss sets us up for a brighter future because it puts McHale's coaching ineptitude under an intense spotlight.
