    Hakeem impressed me the most live, I saw him a bunch live an that dude moved like a guy a foot shorter than he was. He was so quick an created so much for himself.

    It also was the last game for the Rockets on that fancy court. The following year they switched up the court to just a normal court with a red color paint under the baskets. This was the last hurrah for those Rockets teams of the mid 90s.

    A lot of people might say Seattle was a thorn to the Rockets during their run. But I look at it as the Sonics got the Rockets when they weren't at their peak. In 1993, the Rockets were an up-and-coming team that pushed a better Sonics team to seven. In 1996, the Rockets weren't at their healthiest and Seattle was loaded with talent that season. It's a mystery to wonder what would happen in Seattle had faced Houston in the 94-95 seasons. But I almost am inclined to say Houston would've gotten by them at least one of those years. Of course, this series was what led Houston to grab Charles Barkley the next year. The gamble paid off as the Rockets did beat Seattle in 97, but by then, Utah was a better team and they won in six tough games.

      Notice the Sonics were always a better team than Houston because Olajuwon never had a team capable of beating Seattle. That's because the one time he had a #2 go to guy, Ralph Sampson; he was hurt. When he finally got Drexler, he had to lose Thorpe. That's a key peice. Of course you take the trade, but you gotta fill the PF role ASAP. When Barkley came, Olajuwon lost Horry and Cassell. That hurt. Olajuwon was always getting players by losing good players in the process. That's why Olajuwon only has 2 chips. Context is key.

    “Never underestimate the heart of a champion!”
    -Rudy Tomjanovic
    The 2-time defending champions Rockets didn’t just come to lie down to die. Down 3-0 and down by 20 points in the 4th quarter of Game 4, they showed the heart of a champion and mounted an unbelievable comeback to force the game to OT. Though the Rockets lost in OT and were eventually swept, they fought to the bitter end. Unlike the Bad Boys in 1991 who walked out with unsportsmanlike behaviour after being swept by the Bulls, the Rockets left with their heads held high and walked out like a true champion.

    Detlef and Kemp exploited Robert and Chucky at the PF position, while Sam Perkins drew Hakeem out of the paint, creating more opportunities for the Sonics to score at the rim.

      Don't forget Gary Payton. Rockets didn't have much of a PG. Gary's defense and offense is too good for Sonics plus Hersey Hawkins too.

      @tylerriley2587 Sam and Kenny are just guards. Rockets lost this series because of PF position was a weakness for them. Sonics were just a stronger defensive team. Kemp and Payton and Schrimpf are great defenders.
      Rockets always had problems beating Sonics in playoffs the entire decade in 90s. Just their worst matchup. Plus Sam Perkins and Hersey Hawkins on 96 Sonics team too.

      @tylerriley2587 It would have been nice to see Bulls and Rockets in 96 Finals with Houston going for 3 peat. But I'm glad Sonics got to 96 Finals because if Jazz had beat them, it would be 3 straight Finals in a row between Bulls and Jazz which would have sucked.
      Just wished the Rockets beat Jazz. In 97 WCF and all NBA fans would have got to see Jordan vs Hakeem Finals matchup that could have happened if Jordan didn't retire first time after first 3 peat before Rockets back to back titles.
      Didn't like Jazz playing Bulls two straight Finals. At least 98 Jazz play Bulls in Finals and Rockets in 97 with Sonics in 96. That way the Bulls 2nd 3 beat would have been different teams each Finals.

    There is absolutely no way any current team could match up with the speed and intensity of that Sonics team (best 3pt team at the time), and probably some other teams, maybe even Houston. This series alone proves that MJ played a tough team to win his 96 ring. The Sonics swept the defending champion. They won 55+ games for the 6th straight time.

    If ain't broken, why fix it?
    Why change the team logo (and so uniform and homecourt design) if it brought two Larrys the previous two (2) seasons? As turned out, the Rockets never won the Title since 1995, while thrice retuned in WCF (1997, 2015, 2018).
    The old team turned older by trading for Charles Barkley few months later.
    On the other, this is the first year donned the new Sonics logo that propelled them all the way to the Finals (but the mighty Bulls proved too much), and in a way eased the sting brought by Denver in1994.
    Trading Kendall Gill for Hersey Hawkins helped too, it seems.
    As always, thanks for sharing and the zeitgeist brought by 90s basketball.
