    NBC really knew how to put a production together, ESPN/ABC sucks in comparison, and even TNT isn't as good. Greg Gumble was great.

    This thread makes me sad, all of the players with heart (Deke/Yao/Artest/Wafer/Landry) that are gone.

    How did we fall off a cliff so fast?

    I wasn't following the team then, but I imagine the post-Hakeem era before T-Mac was worse than our current circumstances.

    Maybe it was, but we didn't know it because the team had Francis. At least there was a building block... now, not so much.

    Few headline images from '04 summer. Buildup to T-Mac trade...

    Adding Charlie Ward and Bobby Sura (yes, Charlie Ward. He played... what, 3 games?)...

    My All-Time favorite moment of the Rockets:

    "He just sucked the gravity right out of the building!!!"

    Damn, I remember running around my friend's house like a hooligan after Mac threw that hammer down. The room literally exploded. I was certain that we were bound for the Finals...

    Nothing will ever trump the Kiss of Death, signature Clutch City moment.

    The early days of Steve Francis... the good times we didn't know were bad.

    Great thread! I hope the next "better days" come soon.

    I miss those days.
