During the Spurs-Rockets series you are going to be inundated with many “flashback” clips of the 1995 Western Conference Finals, which was the last playoff meeting between these Texas rivals. You will not enjoy watching those clips. Actually, it’ll probably be the same two plays, over and over. Hakeem Olajuwon executing an up-and-under to score on David Robinson. Then Olajuwon scoring on his signature baseline “Dream Shake.” You will be reminded that the those sixth-seeded Rockets upset the top-seeded Spurs four games to two, and be told that literally the only reason they won was because Olajuwon drastically outplayed Robinson.
