That has to be honored, at least by me.

Pippen, though? Nuh-uh.


Barkley played well for Houston. Double-double on a nightly basis. We had to pull the trigger on that deal. Kemp used to destroy us. It was unforntuante when he blew out his knee. And I was at the last game of the season where he scored his last basket. I believe it was against the Grizzlies.

Pippen on the other was a disaster. When didn't give up anything for him nor do he do anything for us. The only things I remember Pippen doing was hitting a half court shot to win a game I believe. He also called Sir Charles "fat". That pretty much sums up Pippen tenure with the Rockets.

True and not true.

1. Yes, Kemp destroyed the Rockets. No doubt about it.

2. No, the deal as transacted (did i just make up a past tense verb?) was completely NOT necessary. The Suns didn't even want Horry. CD, et. al insisted on his inclusion after he beat up Calvin Murphy's pregnant 17YO daughter.......who he knocked up, btw.

If you'll recall, Big Shot (To The Chops) Bob rotted on the end of the Phoenix bench.

First of all, LOL @ Big Shot (To The Chops) Bob
Second, I do remember him being very unhappy in PHX. I didn't know it was because it was a shotgun marriage.

No marriage, as far as I know.

Wasn't Kemp like 4 times more effective against the Rockets thanks to Perkins forcing us to pick a poison?

I'd forgotten that about Horry. Maybe I can forget it again.

Him and Detlef "Can I Buy A Vowel" Schrempf presented horrible matchup problems. Hell, their whole team was a Rox matchup nightmare. Thank God for Mutumbo's Nugget squad, knocking them out of the way...and cocaine, of course. That helped, too.

But it sure would've been easier with Horry. I'm just sayin'. (Besides, nobody actually likes Calvin Murphy. So eff that guy.)

Fan Law: A 17 year old Daryl Morey, knowing he would one day run the Rockets, introduced Shawn Kemp to cornbread and cocaine.

1. U must have a Rockets Tattoo on your body somwhere.

2. A child must be named after a current/former player.

3. Olajuwon is THE best thing since Sliced Bread.

4. You must have a favourite "token" white player on the team, (past or present!)

Fan rule nominee:

The 22 game winning streak had Houston playing some of the best basketball this league had to offer fans during the regular season.

Saying anything other than the Rockets would have beaten the Bulls in 94 and 95 is sacrilege.
