Would you prefer we talk about the fourth quarter of the 2000 WCF Game 7 instead?Quote:

You pick the topic.

Nuff said.
Trader Bob was awesome.

Do you still see the Memorial Day Miracle in your sleep and then wake up in a cold sweat? Kind of like how I'm sure Craig Ehlo still does when Jordan busted a few game winners on him.Quote:

Ginobili celebrated his return to the starting lineup with a career playoff-best 39 points and Mohammed scored nine of his 19 points during a 17-3 third-quarter run, sending the Spurs past the Seattle SuperSonics 103-90 Tuesday night and putting them within a victory of the Western Conference finals.
The cozy win was a relief to San Antonio fans, who remembered the Spurs' last two second-round Game 5s. Playing the Lakers both times, San Antonio won on a Los Angeles miss in the closing seconds two years ago, then lost last year on Derek Fisher's amazing buzzer-beater.
The Spurs never even trailed this time. The only tie was 50-50 at halftime and it was smashed by the huge spurt that opened the second half.
``I don't know if it was pivotal, but it was important for our team,'' San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said.
Ray Allen led Seattle with 19 points, but he was practically invisible in the first and third quarters -- the ones coach Nate McMillan called ``the most important quarters of our season'' prior to tipoff.
Pestered by nemesis Bruce Bowen, Allen was scoreless in the opening period and his only point in the third was a free throw with 4.2 seconds left. He missed three foul shots that quarter after being 55-of-59 from the line in the postseason.
