houstontexasjack Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The last time the Rockets came back from a 3-1 deficit to face the team with the NBA's best record and the league MVP.....1995 against the Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I thought the announcers said the Phoenix Suns. Maybe I misheard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Rockets faced Phoenix in the Western Conference Semifinals, where they came back from the 3-1 deficit. Beating Phoenix gave them a berth in the Western Conference Finals against San Antonio and MVP David Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to put the Rockets' 0-4 record against Golden State during the regular season into perspective, they were 1-5 during the regular season against the Spurs in 1994-95, only to beat them 4-2 in the conference finals.

cloud713 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 damn, were 0-4 against Golden State in the regular season? Hopefully Harden will be out with a vengeance & to prove they gave the wrong guy the MVP.. GO ROCKETS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I thought the announcers said the Phoenix Suns. Maybe I misheard.No, you heard right, the Suns were the last team to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a series.The 95 Rockets were the last ROCKETS team to do it, which is insane, since only nine teams in history have ever pulled that off, two of them Rockets teams!

The Pragmatist Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My dad somehow got us seats at Game 7 of the 1994 Finals and Game 4 of the 1995 Finals. I was a little kid at the time and don't remember much outside of all the cheering, cars stopping on the roads after the games, and some random drunk guy hoisting my brother and me onto his shoulders as the Rockets won the second championship. It's pretty cool to think about in retrospect. I still remember the "Clutch City" VHS sitting in out cabinet after the first championship. Anyway, it would be exciting to see the Rockets make it happen again. Let's hope they finally have an answer for the Warriors. I just wish the games were on NBC so they could bring back that great John Tesh "NBA on NBC" theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also been Capella's "U Got 2 Know" lately--it was the Rockets' starting lineup song back in 1995. After Game 6, I think the Rockets can beat anybody. With a bit of luck, we might even get Bev back for part of this series--that cast is supposed to come off very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You forgot the air-quotes for "MVP" David Robinson. It's really surprising he was able to jump with broken ankles, which I guess is why he was DA real MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 damn, were 0-4 against Golden State in the regular season? Hopefully Harden will be out with a vengeance & to prove they gave the wrong guy the MVP..GO ROCKETS! Some things to remember about that 0-4 record. Howard missed two of those games and wasn't at full strength for the other two. Also, all four were played before February, so it has been a while. There are so many similarities between now and 95 it's crazy. Howard needs to keep rebounding and playing well. Harden has not been efficient this playoffs, but if he starts to I think the Rockets have a really good chance of coming out on top this series.

j_cuevas713 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Man the terrible calls at GS tells me why they have the record they do on home court. They get bailed out by some bs no calls... while the Rockets tap Curry on the shorts and its a foul... we got these two games at home! Let's Go Rockets!

houstontexasjack Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ty Lawson, assuming he can get his stuff together, should be a good offensive upgrade at Point Guard and provide a nice primary ball handler when Harden is out of the game. The West will be an even bigger death struggle this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
