is on right now on MSG...what a pleasure it is to watch him go off like this, I still remember that night like it was yesterday, it was a sunday night and we had a snowstorm.

yeah same, that night will forever remain clear in my mind. btw, if anyone needs either highlights of him (from that game) or wants the entire game, just tell me..

Haha killa, I hear yah!
I upped the entire game on filefront, you click download now, and then choose a server, pretty simple. If there's a waiting line then you'll have to wait a couple minutes until it's your turn. Not too hard, tell me if you have any problems

I was at the game, I loved every minute of it, watching Houston fry Kobe's butt all nite long was a thing of beauty!.

He did, but he also took 1-2 shots per posession. Houston was jordanesque, giving up sweet passes and nailing most of his shots. Kobe was like vince in that game, houston was unstoppable.

Not to play devil's advocate, but didn't Kobe also have 40-something points that game too?

Kobe will score 40 on anybody it's what he gives up on defense, since he is supposed to be an exceptional defender, Houston torched him and anyone else on that tried to defend him, He drove to the basket, went to the line, shot from long range, he used everything he had to throw at Kobe and the Lakers, it was his best game in awhile at that time in his career.

Well there you go. Even in Allan's best games, his defense was still subpar.

I'm probably labeled as an H20 hater. I just see him for what he was. A very good one dimensional player; I don't think he was ever quite the star he was made out to be. But, that was a great game. I hope he's enjoying retirement.

I'm sorry, but if you watch the game, you'll know that SPREWELL ALWAYS GUARDED KOBE. When he was off the floor shandon had the assignment, and thus kobe did not light up houston as was indicated. Similarly, kobe did not guard houston, so houston did not torch kobe as might otherwise be suggested.

Houston played excellent defense in that game, got some steals, and gets praised by clyde for making stops. In this game at least, houston plays lock-down d.

Allan wasn't guarding Kobe for most of that game. He was guarding Rick Fox and Deven George and occasionally Kobe and did a pretty good job overall. I remember that season his man to man defense was actually alright, but as always, it was chasing his man off the ball, he wasn't too great at.

I dunno man, I always remember Houston putting up crazy numbers in first halves and the knicks only leading by like 5. There was only so much he could do.
