    I saw some of it and damn Olajuwon at that time was an absolute freak of nature a 7 footer that ran the floor as fast as the guards did, he was the first person out on a fast break and finished a lay-up like a PG on one play.

    17 third quarter points by Olajuwon, you could see that they had absolutely no answer for this dude.

    So its clear that Kupcheck was a goon hired to take him out, and it worked, and they still lost.

    I wish all the new rox could watch and see how good dream was at a early age and why he never needed a "enforcer" behind him.

    You guys are all talking about Dream and he was great, but this was Ralph's game. 29 points and the amazing game winning shot. James Worthy said he still has nightmares about that shot.

    Really? I would think that winning the championship the next two seasons would have helped him forget about that shot.

    I also wonder if he still has nightmares about his crosscourt pass intended for Byron Scott late in Game 2 of the 1984 championship series that got stolen by Gerald Henderson that allowed the game to be tied and go to overtime in which the Celtics won allowing them to even the series at 1-1. I do remember him saying that it took a couple of years to get over it though.

    I bet he still has nightmares about picking up the phone book to get doubleteamed in Houston.
