    The only Rockets win from that series, so much potential.

    I believe Barkley was trying hard to get KJ (Kevin Johnson) on these teams...for some reason we couldn't make it happen. All we were missing was guard play.

    Barkley was a bum. Watching Duncan's longevity, Garnett and so forth... the man should have taken care of himself more. Beer and Whiskey is not a basic food group for a basketball player. So much potential in the garbage.

    We got Barkley on the down side of his career, but it's not like we paid him a lot either.

    Who the hell has lasted as long as Duncan at the power forward position?
    I assess that to Popovich limiting his regular season minutes and having Parker and Ginboli.

    Besides brother, you know that the Spurs purposely tanked and didn't let a healthy David Robinson play to get Duncan.

    I still remember Kobe schooling Pippen in that series. And Pip bouncing the ball of his foot :mad:
