Of course not. But the 90’s were great. I had a great time. I think we could have beaten the Bulls in 91. We choked against the Lakers in the WCF. Duck was horrible.
Don't blame Duck. Everyone had a hand in us losing that series. Cliff fumbled the pass on a 3-on-1 break with a minute left in G6 that would've put us up for good. Porter missed a wide open 17-ft jump shot to win G6. Coach didn't stop the bleeding fast enough in the 4th quarter of G1. We get blown out in G3 and G4 in LA, an arena we won 2 out of 3 times in the regular season. And many others. I also recall reading in the "Jordan Rules" that the Chicago coaching staff took notice of Portland's strategy for bringing the double team to the Lakers' bigs on the baseline side late in that series and they saw the success it had and implemented it in their 4-1 Finals win, so the Blazers did start to put it back together but it wasn't fast enough. I do agree we beat the Bulls in 91. We were 2-0 against Chicago in the regular season and our core was at their collective peak.
Are you not a fan of: Documentaries 90's NBA Michael Jordan All of the above? I hated the Bulls, don't consider myself a MJ fan, but I love the opportunity to look behind the curtain on topics. In normal times, I'd probably be watching Game 3 between Maimi vs Indiana, which I would promptly forget about 2 weeks later. In this era of no live sports, watching this for 2 hours was a no-brainer.
We lost the series in game 1 at home. Divac kept poking the ball away from Duck and we didn’t adjust. Home court was everything against the Lakers.
Depends on the doc, 90’s nba was pretty good and MJ was the goat. This era of no live sports was weird for a few weeks but I dont really miss sports at this point. Its actually been kind of nice.
Duck was such a weak link. If it wasn’t for a 5ft ugly jumper from the baseline he was pretty trash. Thankfully Buck Williams came on board. But a little too late. Duckworth was so soft.
Didn't help that Adelman was horrible at adjustments, especially when the team was choking away big leads in games (game 1 against the Lakers and game 6 against the Bulls in 92).
It's flattering that even though you have no use for sports or sports docs right now, you still come to say hello to us on a SPORTS message board.
Please go back and watch Game 4 of the 91 WCSF where Duck single-handily got Portland a road win IN Utah. Or all of the clutch jumpers he hit off of the pick and pop with Porter ... the one to tie G2 of the NBA Finals comes immediately to mind. There will be absolutely no Kevin Duckworth slander on this board.
And they had no excuse for how poor their game 1 showing was either. That series (and 91 ) really soured me on Adelman as a coach.
