1995 Playoffs Houston@Phoenix Game 7 HIGHLIGHTS

[@sunhsueh3959]

Don't ever underestimate the heart of champion.

[@walterlv01]

This, to this day remains the greatest NBA game I have ever seen from start to finish. The quality of play by both teams under this level of pressure was just amazing. As many great games as there have been over the years I can't think of any that I would rate ahead of this one.

walterlv01 Those two series from 94 and 95 are some of the best ever. I was the black sheep my brothers liked Jordan and I always stuck with Barkley even in Philadelphia. I would have loved to see a Bulls Rockets finals or Barkley getting another shot at Jordan. I haven’t watched a full nba game in years but I still watch the 90s playoffs and regular season.

[@stardragon1131]

In my opinion that was the greatest play-off run of all time any sport by the rockets. Jazz, suns, spurs and then the magic I would love somebody to show me who beat better quality of opposition than that in nba history.

Drexler was a beast those entire playoffs. Without him they don’t even get out of round 1. One of the best midseason trades ever.

[@geordiejones5618]

Hakeem's statline was absurd tho, over 22 playoff games he willed that team behind 33 PPG 10.3 RPG 4.5 APG 1.2 SPG AND 2.8 BPG on 53.3% shooting. Only Lebron and Jordan come close to that level of total dominance. The Rockets had to face the top 3 seeds in the West (Suns, Jazz, Spurs) and upset them all. Plus Hakeem is the main reason they swept Shaq. Greatest playoff run of all time. No other 6 seed will ever do better with so little.

[@ChrisM07]

It was actually Maxwell faking a knee injury that got the Rockets out of the 1st round, it allowed Drexler to handle the ball more those 2 weren't a good fit together.

[@philliphamilton4516]

Chris M I totally remember that, and great point. Was this the same season Maxwell punched the fan in Portland? He was miserable that year post Drexler trade.

[@ChrisM07]

@@philliphamilton4516 Yeah it was, I think the Rockets management initially were gonna trade him but after that incident they thought it wouldn't have been a good idea to have him play there and gave up Thorpe for Drexler inside.

[@wuliwei6939]

The road to the championship goes through Phoenix I suppose

[@santotrafficantejr9985]

@Yuri Orloff I agree with you. In my opinion, the Phoenix Suns had the overall better roster than Houston. But, Houston had the best player in the league with Hakeem Olajuwon who could take over and dominate games just like you mentioned. That's a great comfort zone for a team to have, when trying to win NBA titles. Phoenix didn't have that luxury and it showed in this series. Houston also had Clyde Drexler who could take over games in stretches as well.

[@TRJ2241987]

Lots of major losses at home though. More than almost any other team.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

@Yuri Orloff Barkley was the 2nd best player in the league in 1993. He won the MVP (deservedly so). It was his year to win but he didn't get it done. Should've been him shooting instead of Dan Majerle in Gm 6 up two against the Bulls.

Amazing. Olajuwon was crossing people over before Iverson.

[@calebsanders85]

Kevin Johnson had a phenomenal game but he choked at the freethrow line during crunch time. He went 22 for 22 at the freethrow line but missed his 23rd and last freethrow to take a 1 point lead with 20 seconds left in the game. I still am and will forever be a diehard Phoenix Suns fan but KJ has to make that last freethrow to take the lead, especially if you made 22 straight free throws prior to bricking that last one. Danny Ainge made all of his freethrow at crunch time and so did Clyde Drexler. Again, phenomenal game from KJ but he made 22 straight freethrows only to brick his very last one that would of have us the lead. PRESSURE BUST PIPES! 😢

[@hectorlopez1069]

You got to make that last free-throw even if you make 22 in a row.

[@pomerlain8924]

21:32 21 in a row actually. And I don't think we can say he choked. For a guy to hit that many consecutive free throws before missing is highly abnormal unless you're a career 90%+ foul shooter. KJ was 81% from the line line in the postseason and playoffs. So he usually was going to make 8 out of every 10 free throws. He got on a hot streak from the line, but he was due to miss one at some point. It just sucks that the first miss came on his last attempt in a tie game. But it wasn't a choke. Especially, considering he was the only one keeping the Suns in the game in fourth quarter.

Rockets didn't come back from 3-1 deficit in '94. They had the homecourt advantage in that series against the Suns but lost the first 2 games at home, only to win games 3 and 4 in Phoenix to tie the series. After winning game 5 again to go up 3-2, they lost game 6 in Phoenix and finished off the Suns at home in game 7.

[@Nate-im3sg]

You're right! I caught that too when Gumbel said that.

[@Nate-im3sg]

***** That is true but you have to give credit to those guys for never getting themselves in position to have to win 5 close out games.

[@Nate-im3sg]

***** They were the 6th seed in the West impressive. I also agree with the heart and toughness comment. However the pressure was brought on by their own losses early in playoff rounds.

[@Nate-im3sg]

***** That's true but again Jordan and the other greats didn't fuck around and get way behind in playoff series to have to make that type of comeback.

[@Nate-im3sg]

***** I understand that. It's not a complicated concept to figure out. I loved the 95 rockets but you act like they were the greatest team ever. I'm tired of this conversation. Jordan retired. The rockets seized the opportunity. Kudos to them. If he hadn't of retired the Bulls win 8 straight.

[@EdmondLau2007]

If the Suns had won, I believe they would have beaten the Magic. I don't think they would've swept the Magic like the Rockets did, I didn't even think the Rockets would do that but I think the Suns would've beat the Magic in 6. Phoenix was a very good team after they got Barkley, they just had awful luck by running into great teams. Kevin Johnson was a great point guard but he was overlooked in the 90's, that was a great era of basketball. In my opinion, it was the golden era of NBA basketball.

[@rickthesentence6073]

agree with you, I think the Suns could have beaten the Spurs and get a chance against the Magic, which was a better team but a little unprepared for the biggest challenge. The 90-96 era was the real golden era of NBA, hands down.

[@tylerriley2587]

Rick Santoro Barkley and KJ were cooking in the beginning but what happened in the second half

that's if they beaten San Antonio they would've had to go through the Spurs first, it was David Robinson's MVP year.. the Magic knocked Jordan out making it easy for the Western teams to win a championship

[@Threetsnotricks]

This still hurts, 12 year-old me was so crushed.

[@ChrisM07]

Rockets went on to win the championship not having a rebounding PF, that's why I don't want to hear any slander about how they had to avoid a certain team to win, the fact they won with that kind of disadvantage in the first place is enough proof they earned it.

[@doughbafett]

The reason the Bulls lost to the Magic was because they didn't have a PF, not because of MJ's alleged rust. If Popovich doesn't hand them Rodman that offseason, they would've struggled to win the title in 1996. There's no way they beat the 64-win Sonics.

It will. Everything runs in circles. Eventually a team is gonna come and win big playing inside heavy ball, dominating the paint, rebounds etc and the rest of the league will start imitating that.

[@pomerlain8924]

It's makes my eyes bleed, and why I don't really watch the NBA anymore. All these one-and-done players today just want to shoot threes. And it makes the offense so predictable. A guy will just hold the ball, let the shot clock run down, and then jack up a three. Or everyone will just stand out at the perimeter and just pass the ball around to shoot a three, even when there's a clear path to the basket. Everybody thinks they can shoot threes like the Steph and Klay, and they can't. And it's to a point where it's no longer about quality, but about quantity. The more three-pointers you take, the more you make, even if that means jacking up over 40 threes in a game.

[@pomerlain8924]

Yep, the Suns had a 3-year window to win a title with Barkley. After the collapse in 95, changes would come. Ainge retired. Majerle was traded. And the Suns would slide to 41-41 in 95-96, and Barkley would be traded afterwards.

Kiss of death 💀

[@Riqsuav1]

Ahhh, the lost art FOULING the player before they get off a 3 pointer so they wont tie the game. Surprised teams dont do this anymore, and Ive seen many a team lose in overtime after letting the opposing team get off a 3 to tie late.

[@scythermantis]

+Riqsuav1 That can be effective, but it's also a bit risky. For one, their could have been a case made for continuation on the Ainge foul, and *BOTH* Majerle and Ainge could have definitely gotten off their shots as soon as they caught the ball, a step earlier, in order to fool the defender into fouling them. Watching this live, I could tell that at least Ainge was thinking about that, but he just couldn't quite do it. He should have jumped in the air, and if the defender was only 'faking' a foul, just shot the ball anyway or tried to pass it to someone else. Ainge was a very smart athlete; it probably came from his days as a Baseball player, as that is a 'thinking man's game.' You could tell that he was trying to miss the second free throw intentionally to give Barkley or himself a chance at a rebound, but as luck would have it, he banked it in! Actually, I think that rule changes need to be put in place in order to prevent this type of thing (intentional fouling when ahead by 3), as well as the intentional fouling off the ball when behind ('Hack-a-Shaq'). Here's what I came up with: 1. Go ahead and start calling 'the letter of the law'... in other words, if there's an 'intentional foul' (that's not committed in a genuine attempt for a steal or making a play on the ball), then it should be one foul shot + possession. 2. Stop changing the rules above or under two minutes left--ANY foul 'off the ball' should be the same; foul shot(s) + possession, however much time is left. 3. I had toyed with the ideas of an 'advantage clause' or a team having the option of in-bounding the ball rather than going to the foul line, and if the same player is fouled again on the next play afterwards it's a technical foul, or even drastic measures like making ALL fouls 'shooting fouls', but I don't think those are strictly necessary. However, I *DON'T* particularly like the idea of a team benefiting from fouling, and I do think that the rules ought to be changed to prevent that, even if I'm not holding my breath for it. I do think that the Competition Committee will be looking at ways to end 'Hack-a-Shaq' type fouls, and hopefully that can end the free-throw borefest that the last few minutes of NBA games is for many fans.

[@Riqsuav1]

Id STILL take my chances fouling. U can mention to the ref that u plan on fouling as soon as they get the ball. that way they can be looking for it. I wanna make its as difficult as possible for them to tie the game. Especially if they gotta go the length of the court. Now i agree if they get the rock at half court, that is more risky. But if they have to go the length, im fouling

[@scythermantis]

Elrique Suave Sure, but if I was on the team that was behind, I would tell the referees before the play that I'm going to be shooting as soon as I catch the ball, because there's nothing really to lose for me, either. If I do happen to get fouled intentionally and throw a shot up just after, there's probably a greater chance of me getting a continuation call that way, since I had just told the refs, or else I can at the very least get myself and my coach thrown out for arguing afterwards and start a bench-clearing brawl at the end of the game, in any case. Fun stuff. Seriously, though, this is why something like the rule changes I mentioned earlier need to go in effect (or actually, if they just started calling things more strictly by the letter of the law, it might be enough). Just like in soccer (or hockey, with delayed penalties, or even baseball, with the infield fly rule), I don't think that teams should *ever* benefit from *intentional* fouls!

[@Riqsuav1]

Ok whatever bro, Im all about making it as difficult as possible for the team to tie the game. Worse case scenario id rather them earn the 3 points from the stripe if it comes down to that. And the act of shooting can be subjective depending on the ref. Houston was SMART at the end of this game!!! That could be a difference of winning a title and not.

[@scythermantis]

Yeah, Phoenix should have won this series in 5, but Charles Barkley and co. choked it away at home in a game that went into overtime. Charles was only 1/6 on free throws that game! I can't find ever find it on KZbin, though. Ironically, Charles and KJ and the Suns remind me of KD and Russell and the Thunder this year, in how they both squandered 3-1 leads.

Love how kj talked all that shit then chokes on the free throw!

[@aregimechangeisimminent5781]

Curtis Donihoo How about his teammates give Kevin Johnson some help? Kevin Johnson scored 46 points. So, his trash talk was vindicated by his individual performance. Dan Majerle scored only 6 points and Barkley was a no show in the 4th quarter. Those are the reasons they lost this game, not because of the missed free throw by Kevin Johnson. To be honest, this series shouldn't have gone to a Game 7.

In This game it shows how Important the missed Free Throw by KJ after Nearly a Perfect Attempt of 21/22...

[@tylerriley2587]

Can we talk about Dan Marjele that guy was so good in the regular season with Danny Manning they both had good chemistry before he got injured but in the second round his shooting wasn't good enough.

[@chucksucks8640]

The suns biggest mistake was that they traded marjle after that season. They could have kept going after that year.

This was the 2nd subpar playoffs in a row for him vs Houston.

He is 6'10. I wish the NBA listed him as 6'10. He's not even close to 7'0.

out of the Houston Rockets matchups; This was the worst defeat to them. The 1994 defeat against the rockets I can easily accept defeat because Rockets were too good, and dominated (That maxwell game in game 3...Man, that was a different breed). And Rockets knew they had it from there. 1995 tho, this was the last chance in that decade for Suns to go for it all, (While of course, needing to get past the 1 seeded Spurs and 1 seeded Magic). They had a very good solid squad that year and that playoffs, but for us to lose after having a 3-1 lead...I'm definitely in shame. But Rockets, proved a lot of ppl wrong that year, And I think this was the greatest most difficult postseason run in NBA history to me, looking back at it now.

16:19 Walton was the pioneer of troll behavior. Always with the unnecessary jabs at MJ/Bulls even when it’s unrelated to anything.
