Description
Shane Battier jumps on Forgotten Seasons to relive a memorable year in H-Town. This 2009 Rockets squad won 53 games and finished as a 5 seed in a loaded Western Conference. Their playoffs starting 5 was Aaron Brooks, Battier, Ron Artest, Luis Scola and Yao Ming. T-Mac's season is cut short in February due to microfracture knee surgery. In the postseason, Houston rallied past Brandon Roy and Portland in Round 1 to set up an epic 7-game WCSF vs the Lakers. Battier was the primary matchup vs Bean, which, as he explains, comes with both mental and physical tests.
