What I noticed from the 93 Clips vs. Rockets playoff game...

Was Otis Thorpe capable of making anything but a dunk? He misses every layup and short jumper attempt.

Olajuwon was just amazing. I always forget how great he was when I can only remember him from the last few years. His ability to just float in the air on his fadeaway was a thing of beauty. Especially at the center position. I remember him being good, but I don't remember him being so graceful. I really took him for granted when I was younger.

The ball movement was great. All of their shots seemed to come after several passes.

The defensive effort inside the paint was awesome. Something I wish I could see with today's Rockets. Everyone swarmed to the guy with the ball inside.

Ahhh...the ignorance of youth. I feel the same about the Laker/Celtic matchups in the mid-eighties. I hated both teams and got so tired seeing them on top year after year. When the Pistons came along and finally won their championships, I thought that was great. Now, I miss those days of watching two great dynasties battling each other.
