Charles Barkley says it often: “A series don’t start until you lose on the other team’s floor.” Well, the San Antonio Spurs just throttled the Phoenix Suns, one of the most dominant road wins I’ve seen. That was a dynasty win, a win that great teams get. Take a look at all the other teams [...]
I was doing this for the Play in California earlier today. Here’s the record of the liveblog.
Again, this post was originally at the Play in CA.
Did this at the Play in CA here, saving it here to make sure I remember doing it.
Continuing from the 3rd quarter.
Cut shot to Phil Jackson wearing Jordan Nikes. Sweet.
Speed lineup in for the Pistons, with Thomas, Salley and Rodman and Laimbeer all in. MJ driving to the hole guarded by Rodman…ends up getting blocked out by Salley. Here are the Bad Boys.
Pippen with a nice block, but no one’s boxing out [...]
Continued from the 2nd quarter.
Horace Grant picks up his 4th. More Dave Corzine baby, who closeup looks like an athletic version of Alex Trebek.
Four team fouls picked up by Chicago. This third quarter’s going to be a dandy to watch if this keeps up.
Paxson with an excellent strip of Isiah. I can’t believe I’ve gone [...]
Continuing on from the first quarter…
Corzine and Davis get two more layups, followed by Isiah going into triple coverage and then travelling. Did I accidentally key up the 1991 Conference Finals? It’s 39-17. They’re making Dave Corzine look like Tim Duncan.
With John Salley and Dennis Rodman now on the floor, immediately you see blocking, cutting [...]
We’re going into the vault for some old school basketball. Jordan v. Bad Boys, 1989.
Brent Musburger (Musburger looks happy that Jordan here) and Bill Raftery commentate. This is going to be awesome. Lesley Visser looks like a darling here.
Starting lineups:
Pippen, Grant, Cartwright, Jordan, Hodges (HODGES?)
Aguirre, Laimbeer, Mahorn, Thomas, Dumars
Mahorn on an offensive rebound, 2-0.
MJ takes [...]
We start from the third, Lakers up by 12.
Jack Nicholson is bald here. This is more horrifying than Jason Williams’s box out abilities.
Lawrence Funderburke and Tony Delk are running the offense for Sacramento right now. Interestingly, the Kings bench seemed to always step up when needed (Pollard, Delk, Bobby Jackson)…because they actually played hard on [...]
Continuing where we left off from the first half, the Lakers are slowly putting the Kings to sleep.
Vlade has actually played Shaq well here; he’s kept him away from the easy dunks (only two or three so far), and he’s forced him to the hook shot. 17 shots for 20 points. That’s exactly what you [...]
