    Yes. We brought the Cuervo Gold out and took shots. The momentum was all ours at the right time.

    I was too young for that, but do remember our dad driving us home down the Richmond strip and seeing some very colorful celebration...

    Starks = streaky + overrated

    if Maxwell was in NYC, he'd be twice as beloved as starks

    I would have probably died that night if I was of age.

    Hopefully this will finally be the year I'm forced to test that theory.

    A fast break of Elie, Drexler, and a trailing Dream? Forget it.

    I think I can actually see myself. About 7 rows up from the Magic bench...

    I remember my Dad talking so much mess to Horace Grant. I've never laughed so hard.

    I remember how much the Rockets choked the Sonics game and wasted Hakeem's brilliance. It was tough to watch.

    you can blame it on the refs and we still were one shot away from winning.
    I won't categorize this one as a 'choke'

    Never should have to worry about the refs.They can't take away baskets that are made.

    Sonics were the only team that I remember to always get us back then.

    you need to watch the videos again. Let's not forget what happened in San Antonio when robinson scored about 3 seconds after the buzzer and we lost home court advantage because of it.
    also remember illegal defense?

    Yes I do. I also remember many games where we said we were robbed for one reason or another. Over time I realize that even if a ref calls a bad call now and again we still missed that one shot or didn't get that clutch rebound and many other things. Over the course of a game every possession counts. Too many other factors come into play that we can look at. Refs can't take away made baskets.
