In the early 90's era the Portland Trailblazers were not a push over.They appeared in the 1990 NBA Finals and 1992 NBA Finals losing to the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls respectively.Michael Jordan was in a league of his own.Its hard to beat the Goat Air Jordan what a beast!!!
I MUST ADMIT - I AM SHOCKED: TEX WENT TO PHIL AND TOLD HIM TO BENCH JORDAN!!!! HONESTLY....I AM STUNNED....BUT LOOKING BACK AT ALL THS, TEX WAS A TRILLION PERCENT RIGHT!
This was a closer game and series then I remembered. Like Utah, it went 6 games and was a close 6th game. However, the Utah series seemed FAR tougher and more competitive then the Portland series. I remember it seemed Chicago was in no danger of losing to Portland, whereas the second Utah series was tough, competive and a nail bighter even though I wasn’t surprised Jordan pulled it out again.
Nah, Portland was tougher, Jerome Kersey did a good job guarding Jordan! 97 & 98 Jordan was scoring his usual points in the series even when he was sick!
