heart of a champion. remember, they were back to back champs in 94 & 95 & still had some of that core, so they knew how to win without having homecourt in the playoffs
Hakeem missed almost half of the season and Barkley, Drexler, Willis, Elie, Johnson were all like 35+ years old... if it wasn't for Barkley's injury in game 4, maybe they would have won this game cause they were up till Charles injured in the game Anyway their best shot was in the 1997 season cause it was Hakeem's last season at his prime
Nice. My memory is still correct that Houston went 2-1. Back in the days when first round was a five-game affair, getting the 2nd win is a very tricky thing. Perhaps the 1994 Sonics and 1999 Heat once wished first round is already a seven-game series.
If Houston pulled off the upset…….. who knows how differently the rest of the 98 playoffs played out? Assuming the Lakers still beat Seattle, one of LA/Houston/San Antonio instead is opposite MJ’s last dance
The Rockets we're older at this point if they had upset Utah I doubt that they get past the Lakers. They would have probably beat the Spurs but not the Lakers.
DEF DEF spurs . Duncan was already a beast as rookie and then the admiral.....this yrs Lakers team was really before Kobe turned into an all star....he was on the rise....but if I remember right it was Eddie Jones that was LA's second option.....had Houston won this series it would have ben san Antonio vs Chicago....DEF!!!@@tevinsherrill5653
