    showing on nbatv tomorrow (tues) at noon.

    This will show the reason why we made the trade for barkley, to beat a team that we never could beat in the playoffs.

    i went to this game, although i was in the last row, but it had been the loudest game i went to up to that point.

    DVR-ing it baby!

    Charles Forever! I don't care what any newb fans think, finally beating Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp and George Karl was sweet.

    I remember having a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that because we didn't finish that series at home in 5 we would lose to Utah in the next round. Man, I just wish that team had more of a killer instinct. We could've taken Chicago dammit.

    Ugh. No doubt Utah benefited from all that time off.

    I remember being so happy finally putting these bastards away. Hakeem's slam at the end was great.

    I was at my fiancee's (now wife) graduation ceremony when this game was going on. That was very difficult for me. :)

    dvr'ed can't wait to see this missed it at the time because I was at a temple retreat. There was a sonics fan there and we listened to the game on the radio I started doing a crazy dance afterwards the guy hasn't spoken to me since

    Anyway to make a torrent out of this? Would be great if we can get some of these games! I moved out of Houston after the last championship and wasn't able to catch the games (didnt have TV for awhile).

    Was this the game where Hakeem blocked Kemp at a crucial time down the stretch and did the reverse slam to seal the game? If this is the game I remember correctly ... I wish I could watch it again!

    Those were exciting times. I still can't get over the fact that we lost to Utah. So close...

    despite having seen this already, those last few minutes where the sonics put their notorious defensive clamps down to make a game of it again were still frightening.

    CB4!
