The Rockets actually won a season series from the Suns?? Most of the times we've split but a couple of those times the suns won 3-1 (98', 01'). Even in our championship run they played us well during the season. The keys to this game though is that we should just let Marbury get his or the other (Marion), but not let them BOTH get off or we'll have problems keeping the pace with them. The Ex-factors are Glen Rice and how much instant offense can he give us. He can hit 5 3's one night and have a single-digit night the next. The Ex-Factor for Phoenix is Penny Hardaway because he's known to have surperior games against the Rockets.
I was 10 at the time.....I remember wanting the Rockets to sweep so I wouldn't have to miss any games.... *game 5 I would have been in the air on my way to Camp* I was so happy that first night when the announcers were giving the Rockets no shot, I was like....come on, you can beat them. Then Mr. Brick became my favorite Non-Rocket ever. *cries*
