@@Eye_Of_RaRaheat wont lose. People always do this when a team dowm 3-0 wins 2 games. People really thought the raptors would comeback and beat the sixers in 7 after they won 2
This was an even game heading the fourth quarter. The Blazers definitely came to play, and had real belief they could come back from 3-0. And the Mavs were finally able to turn it on in the fourth quarter. But they were very fortunate. They were choking hard. And having this series get dragged to 7 games, and then having to go 7 against the Kings is probably what burned them out when they played the Spurs.
Arvydas Sabonis's last NBA game Rasheed Wallace's last NBA playoff game as a Blazer Damon Stoudemire, Rasheed Wallace, Arvydas Sabonis, and Scottie Pippen's last game together
Serves Scottie right. He’s always been an overrated defender. Ppl act like he was the best defender in the 90s, even tho MJ, Rodman, Dumars, Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Mutombo, Hakeem, Admiral, & Mourning we’re far superior, LMAO. 😂🤣
The 03 Blazers should have been the FIRST team to win a best of 7 down 3-0. They totally mess it up. The Mavericks weren't the better team that day, the Blazers simply messed it up.
As true as that is, Dallas had the best player in the series. And when you have the best player in any series, you more times than not find a way to win.
This was also the end of the Blazers as we knew them always being in the postseason since the late 1970's when Bill Walton first won the NBA title with them. I dont think Portland ever missed the postseason from the time Bill Walton won the NBA title with Portland until this 2003 postseason. After this 2003 postseason, Portland wont be in the postseason until the 2009 playoffs
It's the curse of Bill Walton that only allows Drexler and Pippen sidekick good lead guys to try and win championships with. Lillard fits in. Aldridge. Isiah Rider. Jim Jackson. Steve Smith. Scottie Pippen. Clifford Robinson. Arvydas Sabonis. Jerome Kersey. Rasheed Wallace. Clyde Drexler. Buck Williams. Danny Ainge. Terry Porter. Jim Paxson. Kiki Vandeghwe. Maurice Lucas. All fit in. Under Jordan. The Almost Trailblazers.
This Portland team was an experienced team with many playoff battles in the past. And the Mavs in the Don Nelson era were an explosive offensive team but didnt do much on defense.
