Your 5 favorite playoff games of the past 5 years?

[baseline bum]

As an NBA fan...

1. Game 5, 2005 NBA Finals

Robert Horry goes from cold as ice in the first 3 quarters to singlehandedly taking over the most important NBA game since game 7 of the 02 WCF. Billups and Horry get into a monster duel. Every time down the floor Billups and Rasheed run a pick and roll, and the Spurs can't keep Chauncey out of the paint... and the Pistons go up. Then, every Spurs possession, Horry hits a three, gets a putback, throws down a dunk, etc until finally putting the nail in the coffin by hitting a three to go up 1 wuth 5 seconds to go when Rasheed stupidly traps Manu in the corner.

2. Game 1, 2008 WCQF

Finley hits a three to force OT, Duncan hits another to force 2OT, Nash hits a crazy fadeaway three to tie the game with about 10 seconds left in 2OT, and Manu blows by Raja Bell for the gamewinning layup.

3. Game 4, 2006 WCQF

Kobe Bryant hits a ridiculous shot off the glass to force OT, and then a pull-up J at the buzzer to bury the Suns at the buzzer. Nash plays like an ass and coughs the ball up over and over late.

4. Game 5, 2007 ECF

LeBron James throws down a dunk that makes Tayshaun Prince cower and run like he's getting chased by some Crips at the schoolground. LeBron singlehandedly wins a game in 2OT that Cleveland practically gave away with 4 minutes left in the 4th.

5. Game 7, 2006 WCSF

Dallas shoots like 85% or something ridiculous in the first half and takes a 20 point lead. Duncan drags the Spurs back into the game, gets it tied, and Manu hits a three to take a three point lead. Nowitzki comes back and attacks the basket, gets an And-1, and Dallas closes it out in OT to stop a monster comeback.

Honorable Mention: Game 7 2005 Finals (Spurs-Pistons), Game 5 2006 WCSF (Clippers-Suns), Game 3 2006 Finals (Mavs-Heat), Game 2 2004 Finals (Pistons-Lakers), Game 1 2006 WCF (Suns-Mavs)

Game 3 2006 Finals (Mavs-Heat)

Celtics and Nets Game Three ECF

Game 5, 2005 NBA Finals

[ShoogarBear]

Pretty good list by bb. I guess I'd have to put Game 7 of the 2005 Finals in there, just because I was so nervous throughout the game.

Also, game 4 of this year's Finals was entertaining. If you like watching 20-car pileups on the freeway.

yes

[anakha]

yes

Ok, as long as we're clear on that.

So what were your favorite playoff games again?

[Lakers_55]

My favorites?

2004 Lakers vs. Spurs, game 5. Yes, 0.4 was a legal shot.
2008 Spurs. vs. Suns, game 1 Why wasn't every game like this one?
2008 Lakers vs. Spurs, game 1 One of many playoff comebacks, we have far more wins than losses in this department, this one falls in the 5 year span.
2006 Pistons vs. Cavs, game 7 Great series. Highly anticipated game.
2005 Spurs vs. Pistons game 5 After 4 games not even close, this one was the deciding game imo. Both teams came to play, and played well.

[GEICO Caveman]

2004 Lakers vs. Spurs, game 5. Yes, 0.4 was a legal shot.


I disagree.

[Lakers_55]

I disagree.

There's a whole thread about it in archives, and he should have had 0.6.

[stretch]

Ok, as long as we're clear on that.
