Damn that blazer team was stackkkked

[baseline bum]

Gotta take the Blazers here with their size and all their post talent in Wallace, Smith, Wells, Sabonis, and Grant (not counting Jermaine O'Neal since he never played meaningful minutes on that team). CROFL trading for Shawn Kemp and completely wrecking that team the next season. Probably should have kept Jermaine O'Neal too to cover up for the loss of Grant to Miami (LOL worst max contract ever).

Blazers...they just couldn't buy a bucket down the stretch. Far different from the Kings where everybody but Bibby was deathly afraid of taking a shot down the stretch.

Bobby Jackson didn't seem scared either. But Divac, Webber, Christie, Stojakovic, Turkoglu would be a HOF starting 5 on an all-choke team, though Peja did redeem himself pretty nicely in 2011. I still remember Divac gifting Utah their first round series in 1999 in Games 4 and 5.

Blazers had more talent ...Kings played better team basketball. But as many already mentioned their nuts shriveled in the clutch. Save Jackson and at times, Bibby.

[ambchang]

Tough decision for the refs though, will they give 20FTs to the losing team in an elimination game?

2 teams that God destroyed and were never the same again afterwards. This is hard pick but better question is which team did God do the most damage to the Kings or Blazers?

Then Kobe--with jacks & timbers--started back down.

Cept Bob, and with a mighty shove gave out with a groan and like a giant oak tree just stood there alone while 13 Lakers scrambled from a would be grave.

Kings, easy. At least the Blazers have had compe ive teams since 2000. Sacramento's franchise is a smoking crater.

[Arcadian]

Good matchup. Going with the Kings.

Yeah I would have to agree the Kings organization has GOD PTSD after all the beat downs God gave them in the early '00s.

Dallas in the one that did the damage to Sacramento, considering that's where Webber tore his meniscus in 03 and was never very good again after.

Peja hardly had any pt in the finals. He did play well in the prior rounds tbh.
