    If there is any consolation for us Rocket fans this season perhaps this maybe one of it. What a fantastic finish.

    too bad that recap stinked because it mostly showed the other team more.

    congrats to mike and the vipers!

    To win a championship with a 3-pt bank-shot is weird juju. Cool though.

    Wow, winning on a lucky shot is great for the winners but hard for the losers.

    No kidding! That was a great finish. The Rockets organization shows yet again that they are one of the top front offices in the league. Great job and congratulations, Vipers!! :cool:

    It was nice to see Morey and get his autograph. The arena was rocking at the end of the game. It was great to experience a championship live especially down here in the RGV.

    Congrats RGV!

    Houston has had some great minor league teams...

    Comets, Aeros, and now Vipers.

    Morey accepts D-League-only success and that's what he gets. What, are they going to throw a parade for the Vipers now?

    thoughts:
    1) wonder if they made the vipers unis look like the Rockets on purpose
    2) haven't watched anything but that single clip. wonder if vipers interior D is as poor as the rockets.
    3) Morey (or was it RA?) talked about creating a culture of winning (that's why we don't tank, etc)... for the vipers to win fits into that. even if it is D-league at least the guys are accustomed to playing hard and winning.
