I'll never forget game one. When Nick Anderson missed those last few free throws. It was unbelievable. Probably the biggest choke in NBA playoff history. The guy was never the same after this series.

They weren't struggling that bad prior to the trade they were considered a top 10 team I guess the Rockets GM felt for a defending champion they should've had a better record than they did. The ironic thing is the Rockets struggled a lot more after the trade, the actually didn't catch fire until Maxwell quit on the team during the Utah series.

It was tough for Maxwell dropping the role from a starter for years to a role player (not even a 6-man) of the team in the middle of the season. He was simply denied of it the role. As the starting lineup cannot able to fit both Maxwell and Drexler together.

The Rockets with Thorpe/Maxwell were a nightmare for teams on defense that's why they were considered the Bulls kryptonite. The Rockets with Drexler had a miracle playoff run but their frontcourt became more vulnerable against teams like the Supersonics compared to Houston with Thorpe/Maxwell who matched up a lot better with them. I think Sam Perkins was the real difference maker for Seattle against them because he was a big who could shoot from outside.

The most impressive thing to me about the 95 Rockets is how they got so hot that they were able to win it all without a true power forward. The next year against Seattle, you could easily see how not having that Otis Thorpe type really hurt them. All they needed to do was pick up a Kevin Willis type Power forward, and they would've been right back in the finals in 97, but instead, they destroyed a championship team by trading key components for a washed up out of shape, lazy, Charles Barkley. The Rockets had the Jazz knocked them out of the playoffs in 94 and 95 by playing tough defense on Karl Malone with Thorpe in 94 and then Horry in 95, but in 97, it was Barkley's job to gaurd him and Malone was scoring basically at will unless Olajuwon was guarding him. The pick and roll was Stockton and Malone's bread, and butter and Thorpe and Horry were quick enough to switch out when they used it, but Barkley was just too slow and lazy to play any real defense and Utah was basically scoring at will.
