The Super Sonics were and will always be the Rockets worst nightmare. 93-eliminated.. Could have been the same in 94, but in 1996 it was the same again. Had it not been for these bad calls the Rockets could have met the Suns and beat them and play the Bulls. Too bad it never happened.
How can him being in the HOF even be debated? Not many people have changed the course of the league more than Big Shot himself. Forget the numbers, forget how good his teams were. Without Horry, Lakers maybe would have won 1 maybe 2 during his time, Houston 1, and Spurs 1. Man is a legend. Point fucking blank period
Robert Horry's number should be retired on every team he's played on (except the Suns-Ha!Ha!) he was the greatest role player to have played the game.He was the driving force behind those come from behind victories.on those last second shots.
They should but Maxwell will always be remembered for being sent home in the 95'playoffs.Cassel was an explosive shooter he's the main reason why Houston could survive without "Mad Max" Elie spent enough time with Houston to get his number retired and with his toughness he even got San Antonio to play tough and not soft.If Houston is going to retire Yao's # they should throw in those other 2 guys you mentioned!
@mr10tomidnight Although without Maxwell's performance in Game Three of the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals at Phoenix (31 points in the second half after Houston trailed by 8 points at halftime, in danger of going down 0-3 in the series), the Rockets wouldn't have won one championship, let alone two.
that's so true. and the trouble maker Kobe had hit a long range two point shot just before duncan hit that amazing shot too. plus kobe hit a clutch 3 pointer to send the finals into overtime in 2004 against detroit and they won that game but not the series. guess they're not remembered if you don't really win
That was a gut-wrenching series. The home team won every game. What really hurt was that the Rockets would have had home court if they hadn't been robbed in the last regular season game when the refs gave the game to the Spurs on a bogus last-second tip-in by David Robinson.
Either way, that series taught the Rockets how to win in the playoffs. They didn't lose a series after this for ANOTHER 3 YEARS. Great memories.
i do not consider this shot clutch for the simple fact houston lost this game. but this game was a a turning point for hakeem and the rockets francise. i remember thought i was only 9 at the time. that after the game hakeem and rundy t were pisst that they lost i remember after the game hakeem saide, next year i well be dominate and look for the rockets to be at the top. and damn were they back to back title baby. HOW SWEET!!!! IT IS
Making a clutch shot doesn't mean you have to win though. Duncan made a clutch shot against the lakers a couple years ago but they still lost with Fishers shot at the end. The fact that they lost doesnt make the shot unclutch.
Seriously...Bird's three against the Lakers in '87 was clutch. Gar Heard's turnaround in the greatest game ever was clutch. That's idiotic to say that because someone else makes a play, yours isn't clutch
@k7dog HAHAHA! just cuz they lost doesn't mean thats not clutch! are u freaking serious????? define a clutch shot for me bra, i want to read your definition PLEASE
@k7dog haha i wont deny this is a little bit of a homer comment but Houston is a little lucky they didnt meet Seattle in 93-94 or 94-95 they were the only team that really seemed to have there number beating them 92-93 and 95-96 in the postseason. But i did love watching the Dream work David Robinson. I dont much care for Horry though since he hip checked Nash in 06-07 costing PHX that series.
@cburns1689 Don't forget Rockets beats them in 97'. The 93' series could have went either way and the Rockets were still missing a couple of pieces from their championship years. On top of that Rockets got a handful of bad calls in Game 7 of that series that could have easily changed the outcome. The 96' Rockets hobbled into the playoffs. They weren't the same team.
@2008sALINAs ya i remember that but i thought that had a lot to do with Barkley being added- but the Rockets were definitley a great team. 2nd best team of the 90's behind those Bulls- i always wanted to see the Rockets and Bulls meet in the finals, shame it never happend. ya Houston-Seattle was a great rivalry, im a sonics fan but i always loved watching the Dream work people in the post
@2008sALINAs Hell yeah, we would have beaten the Suns and the Bulls since we owned the season series over the Bulls and we know what happened to the Suns in '94 and '95 vs. the Rockets.
@cburns1689 i agree, as a HOU fan i mention this when talking with dumb nba fans who try to say rockets won because MJ wasnt playing. simply wasnt true.. the NBA is about match-ups and HOU always matched up well with CHI. the reason they won those 2 titles is because they didnt have to face SEA who created mismatches for HOU.. those 2 years could have very well ended up being sonics 2 titles had they needed to go through HOU en-route to the finals taking advantage of a jordanless league

What's underrated in this play is the pass Hakeem made out of the double. Great pass.

@mr10tomidnight They should also retire Maxwells, Cassel's, Elie's, Smith's, Thorpe's... and maybe throw in Rober Reid's and Ralph Sampson's.

@k7dog So you can only hit a clutch shot if your team wins? I think that you've confused "clutch" for "game-winning."
