I'll take Rockets in 6

 

Hakeem is just too much of a weapon to ignore

I take the Spurs in six games. The twin towers would've been too much. Plus the guard play of the Spurs was to versatile. PLUS Popovich is much more of a strategist than Rudy Tomjanovich ever was.

 

Remember the Phoenix Suns gave the Rockets hell in the second round of the '94 playoffs. The Rockets squeezed by in 7 in that series. NOW...the Rockets team of 94-95, that may have been a different story with Clyde Drexler in that lineup. Maybe it would've went 7 games against the 02-03 Spurs. Trust me, I really liked the Rockets teams of those two years, I just think that Spurs team was too much.

Too much? LMAO.

 

Otis Thorpe was a good player, was the perfect complimentary PF to Hakeem, and grabbed a lot of rebounds.

Hakeem also would have destroyed David Robinson just as he did in that MVP season he had

Vernon Maxwell also another underrated player would have done well in that series because he was really good defensively, he completely owned John Starks in that New York series
