Bill "they (pacers) are fronting him (dream), that's suicide!" The Pacers were loaded with top tier bigs, the Smits, dale davis, antonio davis, and Dream destroyed them ******* Clutch City was awesome!
Game decided by two unfair calls against Miller, rigged game with video evidence. Dale Davis had a great game in place of the Smits' absence. Dreams a destroyer.
I'd say lol Donaghy, but I watched that play about 15 times, and Miller doesn't even start his shot until after Hakeem lands, it probably deserved to be a no call.
The Pacers team that pushed the Bulls to seven game series, only to lose to MJ, was far far better than the '94 team. That 1998 team would have crushed the Utah j*zz. 1999 and losing to the #8 Knicks still burns too. Both were better than he 2000 finals team. The 2004 team that Artest imploded at the Palace may have been their best of all (J O'Neal/Artest/Reggie/S Jackson/Tinsley/Dale Davis/ Croshere/ Bender)

Friggin' Olajuwon.... why did he let Rik get 3 points? Too busy on offense to put in a complete game? He was so lazy sometimes.
The Pacers were a good balanced professional team. Knicks had a HISTORICALLY good defense at the time. That probably had some to do with the Pacers choking. Good thing the Pacers gave Knicks a hard battle and wore them down a little more before facing the Rockets. (Though mighta had them push the Finals date forward to allow OJ to interrupt a game) The Hawks that year was the sneaky good team. The Rockets had a then record start-of-season 15 game winning streak. It was the Hawks that ended the streak, the game before that the Rockets beat the Knicks. I'd say Rockets in 6 over Pacers.
