History Of Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Clippers play in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and wear jerseys of red, white, and blue. The team played as the Buffalo Braves and the San Diego Clippers before moving to Los Angeles.
Along with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Buffalo Braves entered the NBA in 1970 as an expansion team. The team finished both the 1970-71 and 1971-72 seasons with a win-loss record of 22-60.

Center Bob McAdoo joined the team for the 1972-73 season, winning the rookie of the year award even though the Braves finished with another losing record. An outstanding shooter, McAdoo led the league in scoring in each of the next three years, averaging more than 30 points per game. He helped the Braves advance to the playoffs each of those seasons. During the 1974-75 season McAdoo won the NBA most valuable player (MVP) award.FOB Business Forum&m2W;O9N.k6y8i"I(v
FOB Business Forum5v(l9?+O3W'K+X
During the 1976-77 season, owner John Y. Brown sold McAdoo contract to the New York Knicks, and the Braves quickly dropped out of playoff contention. The team also suffered in attendance, and in 1978 Brown and Boston Celtics owner Irv Levin traded franchises. A California businessman, Levin wanted to own a team on the West Coast. He moved the Braves to San Diego, California, and renamed the club the Clippers. In the 1978-79 season the team posted a 43-39 win-loss record, which stood as its best mark for 12 years.forum.fobshanghai.com8? o5?*S'|$j:o*X+Z&r

The Clippers?roster during the early 1980s featured veterans such as guard Norm Nixon and centers Swen Nater and Bill Walton, as well as talented young players such as forwards Tom Chambers and Terry Cummings. In 1981 attorney and real estate developer Donald T. Sterling bought the franchise, but when the team failed to reach the playoffs and attendance dropped, he moved the club to Los Angeles in 1984. Sterling hired former Los Angeles Lakers player Elgin Baylor as general manager in 1986. Through a series of trades and top draft picks, Baylor rebuilt the Clippers. Larry Brown took over as head coach during the 1991-92 season and helped the Clippers finish with a winning mark of 45-37. Forward Danny Manning and guard Ron Harper led the team to its first playoff appearance since the 1978-79 season. The team made the playoffs again the next season, but Brown then left the club, which dropped to the bottom of the Pacific Division in the mid-1990s.

HISTORY OF THE LAKERS[A Professional Business Forum]'O"x+s/G,u

Los Angeles Lakers, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Lakers play at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and wear uniforms of royal purple and gold. Originally based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
[A Professional Business Forum]9~,v0d,].@#_8] B&z
The Lakers were already a power in professional basketball when they became charter members of the newly formed NBA in 1949. Their continuing success has made them one of the most celebrated franchises in professional sports. The club has won 14 NBA championships, including 5 in the 1980s, and leads the league with a record 27 appearances in the NBA Finals. In 1971-72 the Lakers?33-game winning streak set a professional sports record for consecutive wins.
7Q$w*T V8V*Aforum.fobshanghai.combusiness forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business3[(`3@#P$h5U#n)U.X
The Lakers have boasted such superstars as George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Magic Johnson, Shaquille Oneal, and Kobe Bryant. Centers Mikan, Chamberlain, and Abdul-Jabbar each retired as the league top all-time scorer, while Johnson ranked first in career assists at his retirement.FOB Business Forum3Y7j2d"r%l7E3H,@

&V4o*y9M.z;^1uFOB Business ForumThe Minneapolis Lakers joined the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1947. With Mikan, a 6 ft 10 in (2.1 m) center, leading the league in scoring, the Lakers captured the 1948 NBL title. The Lakers then moved to the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and won the 1949 BAA title. The NBL and BAA merged to become the NBA after the 1948-49 season, and in the five seasons from 1949-50 through 1953-54, the Lakers collected four championships.

'|8d4L+L,e8RThe Lakers?dominance ended in 1954, when Mikan retired and the league introduced the 24-second shot clock and a limit on personal fouls. The rules changes led to a faster-paced game, and the club had difficulty adjusting. A 19-53 win-loss mark in 1957-58 was the worst in team history.business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business6C;f7h6Q#N'k7t4o

With the number-one pick in the 1958 NBA draft, Minneapolis chose Elgin Baylor, who was later named NBA rookie of the year. The Lakers made it to the NBA Finals in 1959, only to be swept in four straight games by the Boston Celtics. With fan attendance dropping after Mikan retirement and the financial success of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team after their 1958 move to California from New York, owner Bob Short decided to move the Lakers to Los Angeles in 1960. This made the team the first NBA franchise on the West Coast. A new home and the selection of Jerry West in the 1960 NBA draft produced a second Lakers dynasty.FOB Business Forum9[/w,k/h ?4}

.S1S+|/r9v$[.DFOB Business ForumIn the 1960s the Lakers were an annual hurdle for any Western Conference team seeking the NBA title, but they could not claim a championship themselves. In the eight seasons from 1961-62 to 1968-69, the Lakers captured six Western Conference titles only to be defeated by the Celtics in the NBA Finals each time. Following the 1969 defeat, West won the most valuable player (MVP) award for the NBA Finalshe only member of a losing team ever to receive the honor. Guard Gail Goodrich was another Laker standout during this time.FOB Business Forum0M8T9`-G;v:D;L;D9x
[A Professional Business Forum]*X:Z&x8S#D2j8y/M
With West and Wilt Chamberlain (who had joined the team in 1968), the Lakers won 33 consecutive games en route to victory over the New York Knicks in the 1971-72 NBA Finals. First-year head coach Bill Sharman (a former Celtics star) was named NBA coach of the year.

)k*^0M/_"s%v6[FOB Business ForumA third dynasty was born in 1975, when the Lakers acquired Abdul-Jabbar from the Milwaukee Bucks. By 1979 he had been joined by guards Magic Johnson and Norm Nixon and by forwards Michael Cooper and Jamaal Wilkes to form the nucleus of an explosive scoring machine known as Showtime. Led by Abdul-Jabbar (the NBA all-time leading scorer) and Johnson, the Lakers captured five NBA championships from 1979-80 to 1987-88. Pat Riley coached the team to four of the titles.FOB Business Forum(k6I4c6O.S3},t4^*F-L

In the early 1990s a group of stars, led by center Vlade Divac, forward Cedric Ceballos, and guard Nick Van Exel, helped keep the Lakers in contention in the Western Conference. Johnson retired in 1991 after being diagnosed with the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). He made two unsuccessful comebacks and during the 1993-94 season briefly filled in as head coach before the club hired Del Harris in the off-season. After the 1995-96 season the Lakers signed superstar center Shaquille Oneal, formerly of the Orlando Magic, and traded Divac for guard Kobe Bryant of the Charlotte Hornets.FOB Business Forum;U9[.q.X"E3c4U#i
business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business!|%z4O$k9^5e9t-a"\-d
Over the next three seasons the Lakers tried several different lineups. They traded Ceballos to the Phoenix Suns in 1997 and Van Exel to the Denver Nuggets in 1998, allowing more playing time for Bryant. In 1997-98 Los Angeles won 61 games but fell to the Utah Jazz in the conference finals. Harris was fired during the lockout-shortened 1999 season, and former Lakers forward Kurt Rambis took over direction of the team. In 1999 Los Angeles also signed veteran forward Dennis Rodman for a brief time and traded for guard Glen Rice of Charlotte. Before the 1999-2000 season the Lakers hired former Chicago Bulls head coach Phil Jackson to lead the team. In his first year as coach, Jackson guided the Lakers to the NBA title, defeating the Indiana Pacers in the championship series in six games. In 2001 Jackson and the Lakers repeated as champions, winning a record 15 out of 16 playoff games and defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in the Finals in five games. The Lakers won their third straight title the following year, sweeping the New Jersey Nets in the championship series. It was the first Finals sweep in franchise history.FOB Business Forum7N1u1S,k#T(e3v

Phoenix Suns, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Suns play in America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, and wear jerseys of purple, white, and orange. The franchise抯 name refers to Phoenix hot, sunny climate in the Sonoran Desert.
In just their second season (1969-70) the Suns reached the playoffs behind the franchise early stars: forwards Connie Hawkins, Paul Silas, and Dick Van Arsdale and guard Gail Goodrich. Phoenix first advanced to the NBA Finals in 1976, losing to the Boston Celtics.

The Suns entered the NBA in 1968 as part of an expansion that included the Milwaukee Bucks. Phoenix compiled a 16-66 win-loss record in their debut season and earned the opportunity to flip a coin with the Bucks to determine which team would own the number-one pick in the 1969 NBA draft. Milwaukee won the toss and selected Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar); the Suns selected center Neal Walk.FOB Business Forum:p,R/{ |$I:p,h

The Suns were involved in another coin toss that year. Phoenix and the Seattle SuperSonics flipped a coin for the rights to Connie he Hawk? Hawkins, an explosive player who was being readmitted to the NBA after having been barred from the league seven years earlier during a gambling investigation. The Suns won the toss, and Hawkins played for the Suns from 1969 to 1973, helping the franchise to two winning seasons during this time.;G2^(J5E1L#f4}"]8w

Former University of Oklahoma coach John MacLeod became the Suns?head coach in 1973 and guided the team for more than 13 seasons. The team most exciting season under MacLeod was 1975-76, when the Suns compiled a 42-40 record and finished in third place in the Pacific Division. In the playoffs, guard Paul Westphal and center Alvan Adams helped Phoenix upset the SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors to advance to the NBA Finals. The Suns faced a strong Boston Celtics team led by center Dave Cowens and forward John Havlicek in the championship series. Game five, which lasted three overtimes, is considered one of the NBA most historic games. Boston won the game, by the score of 128-126, and went on to take the series as well.forum.fobshanghai.com1})O/c,`.R.w8A

In four out of five years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Suns registered more than 50 victories. Forward Maurice Lucas and guard Walter Davis led the team to a 41-41 regular season record in the 1983-84 season.

Injuries and aging or inexperienced players led to four consecutive losing seasons and an overhaul of personnel. Beginning with the 1988-89 season, the Suns registered seven consecutive seasons with at least 50 wins. In 1992 Phoenix obtained Charles Barkley from the Philadelphia 76ers. He sparked the team to 62 regular-season wins and won the NBA most valuable player (MVP) award. Along with forward Dan Majerle and guard Kevin Johnson, Barkley led Phoenix to the 1993 NBA Finals, where the team lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games. The Suns won game three of the series in triple overtime he first triple overtime game in the NBA Finals since the Suns?loss to the Celtics in 1976.

Through the mid-1990s Phoenix remained competitive, qualifying for the playoffs in 1994 and 1995. Major players included Johnson and forwards Danny Manning, A. C. Green, and Wesley Person. After the Suns finished 41-41 in the 1995-96 season, Barkley was traded to the Houston Rockets.

The Trail Blazers joined the NBA in the 1970-71 season and captured the league title six years later with a team led by center Bill Walton and forward Maurice Lucas. In the early 1990s the Blazers were again among the NBA best teams. Powered by guards Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter and forward Buck Williams, the team reached the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992.

The Trail Blazers joined the NBA during a league expansion that also included the Buffalo Braves and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The original Portland club featured guard Geoff Petrie and forward LeRoy Ellis; it registered a win-loss record of 29-53. Portland had several talented rookies, and Petrie shared the NBA rookie of the year award with Dave Cowens of the Boston Celtics. Blazers forward Sidney Wicks won the award the following year. After their debut campaign, the Blazers placed near the bottom of the league during their next three seasons. A 27-55 win-loss record in 1973-74 earned the Blazers the number-one selection in the 1974 NBA draft, which the team used to pick Bill Walton, a three-time college player of the year while at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

+g$p!_$i*B1[ _:l C"]With Walton at center and former St. Louis Hawks star Lenny Wilkens installed as head coach, the Blazers won 38 games in the 1974-75 season and 37 games the following year. Before the 1976-77 season, former Buffalo Braves coach Jack Ramsay replaced Wilkens. Ramsay brought a disciplined, team-oriented strategy to the club, which had added guard Lionel Hollins in the 1975 NBA draft and power forward Maurice Lucas from the disbanded American Basketball Association (ABA).[A Professional Business Forum]1I%s,y#L:D-q'E%l

In the playoffs, however, Walton was slowed by an injury, and the Blazers lost in the conference semifinals to the Seattle SuperSonics. Walton continued to be plagued by injuries, missing the entire 1978-79 season before joining the San Diego Clippers the following year as a free agent. Portland remained competitive and missed the playoffs only once from 1978-79 through 1985-86.

Seattle SuperSonics, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The SuperSonics (also known as the Sonics) play in Key Arena in Seattle, Washington, and wear jerseys of green, gold, orange, and white. The team name refers to the jet-aircraft industry based in the Seattle area.

The SuperSonics entered the league in the late 1960s and experienced stretches of success in the 1970s and 1990s. The team advanced to the NBA Finals in 1978 and then won the 1979 NBA championship with a club that featured forward Jack Sikma and guards Dennis Johnson, Gus Williams, and Fred Brown. The SuperSonics put together a number of winning seasons in the early and mid-1990s, advancing to the NBA Finals in 1996 with a team led by forward Shawn Kemp and guard Gary Payton

With the San Diego Rockets (now the Houston Rockets), the SuperSonics joined the NBA in the 1967-68 season as an expansion team. Lenny Wilkens became the team player-coach in 1969, and he and forward-center Spencer Haywood led the SuperSonics to their first winning season, a 47-35 mark in 1971-72.business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business8]*["S+Z,R%X*q6q

After four years with Seattle, Wilkens was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1973. A year later, the club hired former Boston Celtics star Bill Russell as head coach. Russell guided the team to its first two playoff appearances before Wilkens returned in 1977 as full-time head coach. In the 1977-78 season, six players on the Seattle roster averaged more than 10 points per game but fewer than 20 points per game. This balanced scoring was fortified by the SuperSonics?tough defense and team play. In the playoffs the team unexpectedly advanced to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Washington Bullets in seven games. The SuperSonics?attack looked much the same the next season, 1978-79. The team won the Pacific Division, marched through the playoffs, and in a rematch with the Bullets, won the NBA title in five games.

The SuperSonics recovered from an erratic seven-year period in 1986-87. That season the team featured three explosive forwards桪ale Ellis, Xavier McDaniel, and Tom Chambersho each averaged more than 20 points per game. Despite the SuperSonics?losing record in the regular season, the team upset the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets in the playoffs before falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

The SuperSonics retooled in the late 1980s with a cast of young players, notably Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton. George Karl, a former San Antonio Spurs player, became head coach in 1992. He instituted a strong defense and a fast-paced offense. The team won more than 50 games in five consecutive seasons, 1992-93 through 1996-97, and reached the playoffs each year. In 1993 the team advanced to the Western Conference Finals, losing to the Phoenix Suns in seven games. The SuperSonics followed two first-round playoff exits in 1994 and 1995 by reaching the NBA Finals in 1996. There they lost to the Chicago Bulls.FOB Business Forum%t,v/u.w)c2q%E

History of Dallas Maverickes

Dallas Mavericks, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks play in Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, and wear jerseys of blue, white, and green. The team name derives from Texas history of cattle ranching. Samuel Augustus Maverick was an 19th-century Texas cattle owner, and the word maverick has come to refer to a person who holds independent Click Here To Views or refuses to conform to the accepted thinking on a subject.

Professional basketball arrived in Dallas in 1980 when the NBA granted an expansion team franchise to real estate developer Donald J. Carter. The Mavericks began NBA play in the 1980-81 season. After a dismal debut season, typical for an expansion club, the Mavericks?administration soon built a competitive team. The Mavericks?draft picks in their first seven years yielded talented players such as guards Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper; forwards Mark Aguirre, Detlef Schrempf, and Roy Tarpley; and center Sam Perkins.

Dallas registered its first winning season in 1983-84, its fourth season, when the team posted a 43-39 win-loss record and made its first trip to the playoffs. Solid scoring from Aguirre and Blackman helped the Mavericks defeat the Seattle SuperSonics and advance to the conference semifinals before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers. During the next two years the club posted winning records, and in the 1985-86 season Dallas beat the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs before again falling to the Lakers in the conference semifinals.FOB Business Forum;Z1f#?9k:`8t8i2u&u,R&O

With a lineup of Aguirre, Blackman, Harper, Perkins, and center James Donaldson, the Mavericks won 55 games during the 1986-87 season to finish first in the Midwest Division. Aguirre and Blackman again led the team in scoring. Dallas was upset in the first round of the playoffs by the Seattle SuperSonics. The next year Schrempf and Tarpley contributed solid rebounding to the team and the Mavericks bested the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets in the first two rounds of the playoffs to earn a place against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The series lasted seven games with outstanding play from Donaldson, Harper, and Tarpley, but Dallas came up short in the deciding contest.business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business9X;f)g)U,m3H*R)v'Q+T
FOB Business Forum;u$T#b!j;n/z3{
The Mavericks successful starting lineup was disbanded during the 1988-89 season. Donaldson missed most of the season due to injury, the NBA suspended Tarpley for violating the league antidrug policy, and the Mavericks traded Aguirre and Schrempf. The team missed the playoffs in the 1988-89 season and two years later slipped to the bottom of the league. The Mavericks won only 22 games in 1991-92 and in each of the next two seasons they threatened to break the NBA all-time record for fewest victories, winning only 11 games in 1992-93 and 13 in 1993-94. (The record low of 9 wins was set by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1972-73 season).

Last-place finishes gave the Mavericks the opportunity to draft three of the nation best college players: guard Jim Jackson in 1992, forward Jamal Mashburn in 1993, and guard Jason Kidd in 1994. But injuries slowed both Jackson and Mashburn, and at times the team found it difficult to mold the three explosive players into an effective unit. In the late 1990s Mavericks general manager Don Nelson attempted to rebuild the team with a series of deals, including the trades of Jackson, Mashburn, and Kidd. One deal, a nine-player transaction with the New Jersey Nets, was the largest in NBA history.

Denver Nuggets, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Nuggets play in the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, and wear jerseys of gold, red, and blue. The team name refers to the history of gold mining in Colorado.9t6D.v*P9e1N2g1M
A team called the Denver Nuggets was among the 17 clubs in the NBA first season, in 1949-50, but they lasted only one year. The current Nuggets franchise traces its roots to the Denver Rockets, a team that entered the American Basketball Association (ABA) in 1967. The ABA was known for open-court, high-scoring play, which suited Denver star guard, Larry Jones. In the Rockets?first season, Jones registered the league highest single-game score with 52 points.forum.fobshanghai.com+o4i6^+t)r5~
[A Professional Business Forum](~ E6r,q2v&u-z+c1U8|(@
Another high-scoring player, forward-center Spencer Haywood, signed with the club in 1969. As an ABA rookie Haywood registered single-game highs of 59 points and 31 rebounds, averaged 30 points and 19.5 rebounds per game, and won the league抯 most valuable player (MVP) award. The Rockets won their first division title in 1969-70. Haywood signed with the Seattle SuperSonics of the NBA the following season, and the Rockets had several lackluster years.

In 1974 the team renamed itself the Nuggets. Under head coach Larry Brown, they became one of the top ABA teams that season, winning 65 games. The next season, 1975-76, the team added forward Dan Issel and guard David Thompson.

Two seasons later, in 1977-78, the Nuggets again won their division, but they fell to the Seattle SuperSonics in the conference finals. Doug Moe took over as head coach during the 1980-81 season and guided the team for eight full seasons. The Nuggets reached the playoffs in each of those seasons and frequently led the league in scoring, averaging more than 120 points per game for five consecutive campaigns. During the 1982-83 season forward Alex English averaged 28.4 points per game to lead the league in scoring. Forward Kiki Vandeweghe, averaging 26.7 points, finished second. On December 13, 1983, the Nuggets lost to the Detroit Pistons, 186-184, in the highest-scoring game in league history.

Before the 1984-85 season the team traded Vandeweghe to the Portland Trail Blazers for three playersayne Cooper, Lafayette at?Lever, and Calvin Natt. Teamed with English and Issel, they formed the Nuggets? most successful lineup. The Nuggets advanced to the conference finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. Three seasons later, in 1987-88, they fell to the Dallas Mavericks in the conference semifinals.

The Nuggets?fortunes declined in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and they failed to make the postseason for three consecutive years, starting in 1990-91. Before the 1991-92 season, Denver drafted center Dikembe Mutombo, an outstanding shot-blocker. Issel returned to coach the Nuggets before the 1992-93 season, and a year later the Nuggets bested the heavily favored Seattle SuperSonics in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Utah Jazz. Issel resigned during the 1994-95 season, and a series of coaches followed. The team roster also underwent several changes over the next few years, including Mutombo departure after the 1995-96 season, when he signed with the Atlanta Hawks. Issel resumed his coaching duties for the 1999-2000 season.

Houston Rockets

History Of Rockets

Houston Rockets, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Rockets play in the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas, and wear jerseys of blue, red, and white.FOB Business Forum$O2{ e#w't,[
The Rockets reached the NBA Finals in 1981 and 1986 but lost to the Boston Celtics both times. Led by center Hakeem Olajuwon, the team won its first NBA title in 1994, becoming the first professional team from Houston to win a major sports championship. With the addition of veteran guard Clyde Drexler, the Rockets won a second NBA championship in 1995. In addition to Olajuwon, several other top centers have played for the franchise, including Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, and Ralph Sampson.

The Rockets were originally located in San Diego, California. The club entered the NBA in 1967 along with another expansion team, the Seattle SuperSonics. In its debut season San Diego compiled a 15-67 win-loss record to set an NBA record for losses. (The Philadelphia 76ers broke that record during the 1972-73 season with a 9-73 win-loss record). The Rockets?record entitled them to the first selection in the league collegiate draft, and they chose Elvin Hayes from the University of Houston. As a rookie Hayes led the league in scoring with an average of 28.4 points per game and helped the Rockets earn their first trip to the playoffs in 1969.

After failing to win much fan support in four seasons in San Diego, the club relocated to Houston for the 1971-72 season. In a city that traditionally supported football, the Rockets gained fans slowly, averaging only 4,966 fans per game in their inaugural season in Houston. But they reached the playoffs in 1975, led by guard Calvin Murphy and forward Rudy Tomjanovich. Early in 1976 the club acquired Moses Malone, who was the first basketball player to advance directly from high school to professional play. With Malone, Murphy, and Tomjanovich, the Rockets won the Central Division in 1977 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.FOB Business Forum,L F5i$b,C

Malone won the most valuable player (MVP) award in 1979 and placed first in rebounding and second in scoring during the 1980-81 season. Despite a 40-42 record, the Rockets qualified for the playoffs by one game in 1981. Guided by head coach Del Harris, the team won the first three playoff series but was defeated in the championship round by the Boston Celtics.forum.fobshanghai.com.T9x,H/h(_&[*A,D
