    Omg man, that was awful similar is the damn rockets/yao/Mac bs against the Mavs series but on a whole nother level (obv just first round but that was garbage)... Anyway I was so disappointed to see CWebb and Co ROBBED. I mean they had that **** set. It was redemption for the Michigan timeout and then the nba and ref Don said "NOPE". Such bullshit they should asterisk that.

    Then there's the 09 robbery of Mac/Yao injury when Houston had a legit chance to win it and knock off the eventual Champs the Lakers... Mac was Gone and on decline but that Artest/Yao with Adelman was awesome, damn injuries .... Rockets might have 4 or even 5 chips now (not counting the bear hug from Malone in 97 or the horrible Barkley injury the next year....) yes I'm biased but the refs shouldn't have ruined the game with the illegal bets, and while injuries are part of the game, they still suck

    As far as all time talent the Stockton and Malone duo has to be high on the list. Kings are another good one. Don’t really feel like the 73-9 warriors should count. That seasons team didn’t win but that team essentially won.

    I remember watching a Cosby show rerun with theo choosing the Rockets as contenders. This was after their trip to the finals

    the 22 win streak rockets were pretty damn stacked if all were healthy :/

    Also the Nash led Suns were pretty damn good, just sort of fell off at the wrong time

    Well they also got robbed against the Spurs, Horry was able to check Nash into the scoring table and it ruined that series from the suspensions.
