If you put this Houston Rockets team that's playing in the Finals into the 21st century, some fans would definitely call them the 'Magnificent Seven.'
After two games against them, O'Neal had deeply realized what is meant by 'all hands on deck.'
You never know when someone from their team will step up.
Therefore, the Magic must adhere to a strict man-to-man defense.
You can't leave any of them open.
Letting any player, even a seemingly insignificant role player, get hot can potentially kill you that night.
In the last game, even under a man-to-man strategy, Sam Cassell still put up 13 points in a single quarter.
If it weren't for Roger keeping him in check with an even stronger scoring momentum, the game might have been reversed because of Cassell.
It's hard to imagine what such a person would do if left open in the fourth quarter.
