    It's pre-season and now no rockets to watch till the opener! So time to roll another one out there.

    For me, Mitch Wiggins and John Lucas busted for coca-cola. In the same year.Those two wre unbelievable. What a waste!

    Black Magic.....it was rediculous how easy he made it all look.

    What's yours?

    Tough choice.

    Rudy T getting punched - never the same player again.

    or

    Mitch Wiggins and Lewis Lloyd being kicked out of the league for 2 years for cocaine use, followed soon after by John Lucas.

    As much as I love Rudy, I have to go with the booger sugar incident.

    That took the top 3 guards away from a team that had lost in the finals the year before to the Celtics....the Rockets could have had a LOT more championships if the guards could have dribbled over the white lines instead of snorting them.

    John Stockston hitting that shot. I REALLY REALLY wanted to play the Bulls in the finals. I'm still pissed about that.

    The failed Studemire trade. It alienated Mario Elie when he found out that he would have been going to Toronto. The team was never the same after that.

    If we can count all of the coke problems the team had as one event, then that would have to be it. Ralph's injury and fall from super-star status could be one as well. A healthy Ralph and Hakeem together would have been a lot of fun.

    The real number one though was the day Granny Waiters was no longer on the team.

    stockton's 3 - me and my 2 roomates started throwing furniture - we trashed our living room. we lived in a duplex and our neighbors next door were watching on their tv and we could hear them cheering - they came over to talk ****, saw our mood and our "furniture rearrangement" and shut up pretty quick. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
