I dont know why, but this is one of my fav games of all time!

 

you dont know why??? it was a great game tahts why...

 

thank you tinman for finding this i will set my DVR accordingly!

 

Where is the point guard? At 6'8" Shane can get some minutes at PF but who would play center in a small line up? Mutombo is 7'1" and Yao is 7'5" and neither are that quick so there isn't really a point in playing a small line up. Besides Shane is best at playing SF and T-Mac is best at playing SG

 

Thanks for the heads-up. This was a GREAT game. IIRC, The Glyde had over 10 boards, Kenny shot like 7-10 from downtown, and Horry had some rediculous number of blocks.

Shaq got shut the f**k down in OT, it was beautiful.

Sick game, I'll be watchin'!!

 

It's Smith's show,

 

Clyde averaged almost 10 boards that series! Him and Hakeem were the perfect 1-2 punch that year. Smith, Cassell and Horry were perfect role players too.

 

I don't know about the "greatness" of the game, but it was definitely the most memorable for me. The rise and fall in emotion during the last few seconds of regulation was just amazing.

And had any other NBA player ever suffered in his career like Nick Anderson after those FTs? Dude was traumatized by that experience.

 

Are they running NBATV for free?

 

I wish I had NBATV!

 

and the DVR is running!


i also like how they had game 7 of the 96 WCF earlier i came home to seeing Karl Malone loosing yet again! it put a smile on my face

 

this game never gets old. ive seen it like 20 times on espn classic and nbatv, but i watch it every time its on. watching nick anderson choke his little carreer away is just priceless. i just wish they would show game 4 when the crowd busted out the brooms on shaq and penny. priceless, too bad ive been holding on to that memory for about 12 years now, waiting for number 3.

 

LOL- Joey Crawford with hair.

DD

 

I thought we had the moment we got Pippen. Pippen, Barkley and Hakeem should have been enough to win a championship.

 

also, friday at noon it's game 4 vs utah, 1997 WCF! good times!

 

holy crap gonna have the DVR work overtime on that one


i remember that day when i got in trouble cuz i was at a friends house forcing him to watch the game and then i almost knocked over his moms favorite vase jumping up and down
