I hope that the guys make the Suns pay for the blatant disrespect towards Hakeem Olajuwon (and history in general) that they have planned for tonight.

What else do they have to celebrate? They can't celebrate that year... Houston won the Championship. They can't celebrate that series... Houston Won. They can't celebrate that game... Houston Won. So they can only celebrate a few seconds of a game they lost, in a series they lost, in a year where Houston won it ALL.

Game 4 @ America West Arena, Phoenix (May 15, 1994): Houston 107, Phoenix 96

Would like to thank Phoenix Suns for helping to give the Rockets the "Clutch City" nickname. After having very big leads in the first two home games in that series and losing... the briefly got the "Choke City" nickname. But they turned it around and... The Rockets become the second team to win a playoff series after losing the first 2 games at home. Then we destroy Utah 4 - 1, and need to win two games in a row vs New York to win 4 - 3. Clutch City.

I was wondering the same thing, what exactly do they have planned for tonight?

I think it's the 20th year anniversary of KJ's dunk on Olajuwon so they are planning a whole thing about it. Suns fans are so annoying. Remember during Yao's rookie year they held up some racist type signs for Amare to win the award.

Wow they glorify a dunk...get a life Phoenix. Will J-Ham crack the rotation tonight? I've never seen him play period, I don't even know what he's good for.

idk about harden wearing a sleeve. He should bring the headband back while he has the sleeve on.

I'll take Harden any day/all day over Lowry.

If not for that Toronto pick then we probably wouldn't have Harden.

Thank you, Morey!
