For our Throwback Thursday, we look back at the ’86 Rockets Finals run on the 34th anniversary of Ralph Sampson’s buzzer beater against the Lakers (that put them in the Finals). Host Robert Land brings in former Houston Post beat writer Robert Falkoff to look at the build and the implosion of the ’86 team, including the drug scandals and the injuries. Plus, Robert Reid joins us to give his perspective on what happened to Sampson, along with his memories of the ’81 Finals run.
