1998 Lakers
what game was that infamous Rod Strickland turnover?
1998 Lakers
Game 7 OVERTIME
93-94 Knicks? Seriously? Ewing was a choker, their offense was , and they lost to one of the weakest champions of all time in the Finals.
Petrovic getting under Strick's skin
That was game 7 of the 1990 second round. No way that Spurs team would have gotten through the Bad Boys in the finals anyways though.
93 Suns is another good call ...
No one mentioned Jazz yet, but tbh almost every team mentioned so far probably beats those Jazz teams. I think they were a bit overrated tbh ...they were good very but they just arent as good a sthe teams mentioned ...
Also, the Aguirre, Blackmon, Tarpley etc. those Mavs I think the 1988 edition?
The one that pushed the Lakers to 7 in the WCF they were a deep team ...
I always find it kind of funny that Spurs fans forget Willie Anderson had a fast break and could have laid it in at the buzzer to win the game, but let Drexler strip him. It was a ty pass for sure from Rocket Rod, but the Spurs blew a ton of chances to close that game out.Game 7 OVERTIME
The Riley Knicks were one of the best defensive teams, and gave the Bulls fits every year but could never get over the top. What team had more hardcore s than them? Oak and Mason alone
Losing to Dream is nothing to be ashamed of, tbh...especially when he's embarrassed certain other players worse than Ewing imo
'04 spurs. They were on a 15 game win streak before the lakers beat them 4 strait. Damn fisher.
Robinson didn't shoot 36% in the series he lost to Hakeem. Besides, the 95 Rockets were way better than the 94 team. The 94 team blew a lot of leads and had a horrible offense. I mean, their #2 guy was Vernon Maxwell. The 95 team had the toughest road to a le in NBA history and just all over everyone in the way. Drexler was an enormous upgrade over Maxwell.The Riley Knicks were one of the best defensive teams, and gave the Bulls fits every year but could never get over the top. What team had more hardcore s then them?

Another tough Blazers moment that goes unheralded was when they came back from 3-0 against Dallas and were neck-and-neck with them late in Game 7 before losing. Think that was 2003 iirc
My favorite Blazer moment was when Damon Stoudamire had a look on his face like he was about to cry after missing a free throw right before Elliott hit the Memorial Day Miracle.
ing Turkoglu; LA flat out did not guard him, and the only time he hit was for the first quarter and a half of game 4. I don't think I have ever seen another Spurs player get the kind of open looks the Lakers were giving him in games 3-6.
Then there was Horry missing a wide open three from the Webber spot that would have iced game 5. He must have missed it by 2 feet.
tbh Hakeem didn't avg 35+ppg on Ewing, and Patrick still avg'd 19, 12, and >4blks
This is true. Only 2 teams took those Bulls to the max 7 gamesThe Riley Knicks were one of the best defensive teams, and gave the Bulls fits every year but could never get over the top. What team had more hardcore s than them? Oak and Mason alone

- 98 Pacers
- 92 Knicks
I find it hilarious that Ewing is viewed as some kind of warrior when he got his pushed in on the biggest stage of his career too.
98 Pacers were sick. Too bad Mullin started really showing his age the next season and they handed the reigns over to ty Jalen Rose. It's too bad New York didn't keep that 92 team together with Mark Jackson and Xavier McDaniel. They would have been way better than their finals team in 94.
He's not, he choked too but not as bad. Plus, let's be real...Game 7 of that Finals is infamous for one's man performance, and even the casual basketball fan knows who that is.
And if Ewing wasn't performing like you'd have to think Riley doesn't green-light Starks to shoot 20 times.
You're seriously defending 2-18 (0-10 in the 4th)?
Nope. I don't understand why you're defending a Knicks team whose top 2 offensive options weren't very good.
2004 Spurs
2006 Spurs
It should have been five straight les.
That makes it all the more impressive that they could hang with Jordan's Bulls.
I'm no Ewing-apologist (there's a Ewing-theory for a reason), and you're a cool scro BB, but you get real defensive about D-Rob. He was playoff choker.
There's nothing wrong with saying that. it doesn't make him a ty human being. I'm a Bills fan and I love Kelly, Thurman, Reed, Lofton, Tasker, beebe, Smith, Talley, Bennett, Hull, Hansen, et al...but they're ultimately chokers.
C'est la vie.
Refs didn't help either, imho.
