    If you're wondering how Elie got that open, it's because everyone in the building thought the ball was going to Olajuwon, and Westphal told his guys not to leave him.

    If you watch the clip, even when Elie went into his shooting motion, they still had Hakeem doubled and stayed home on him, like they didn't think Mario had the balls to shoot it. Boy was they wrong! By the time they closed out on him, it was all she wrote....

    Yeah, I've watched that one dozens of times. But I meant the actual game(or highlights of it) is not on YouTube, whereas Games 4, 6, and 7 from that series are. I wish someone would upload it.

    I wonder if Elie blew Doc Rivers the kiss of death when Ariza nailed the dagger three!


    Trevor should have done it himself!!

    Vernon Maxwell's three against the Knicks and Kenny Smith's against the Magic are right up there too.
