so .. between '93 and '97, the Houston Rockets and the Chicago Bulls went 5-5.


it was interesting hearing vernon maxwell's take on this hypothetical matchup .. "google the times we played in. They couldn't beat us. (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25116008/vernon-maxwell-says-rockets-would-have-beaten-jordans-bulls)"

anywho, later i stumble upon Michael Jordan's top 10 fights, and it was interesting to see MJ going at it toe to toe with .. none other than .. vernon maxwell.

this dude would NOT back down .. same fire, but a taller, more talented John Starks .. w/ craziness of ron artest**, being anchored by a smoother, more skilled version of Pat Ewing in Hakeem Olajuwan. The Houston Rockets were basically a super charged, super skilled version of the 90s Knicks who always put them to the test.

who you guys got in this one?



**1995: In a game at Portland on February 6, vernon maxwell ran into the stands to punch a fan, later claiming the fan had heckled him for reasons undisclosed. The NBA suspended him for 10 games and fined him $20,000.. **
lets just say vernon was very lucky for "the times he played in"

... The 94 Knicks choked real hard. 92+93 teams were even better than that one.
