We were up 15 in the fourth quarter of Game 7. I was 9 years old and my dad was so excited about taking me to a Finals game. Well, it didn't happen and I went to sleep crying my eyes out. Where were you guys? What do you remember in particular from that collapse? For me - Scottie Pippen was TRASH. The kobe to shaq moment is described as the gut punch, but we still had a chance when Sheed hit the three to cut it to 3 with 34 seconds left. Down 1 position, if we get a stop we get the ball back down 3 with 10 seconds left. However, Scottie inexplicably intentionally fouls Ron Harper. We were only down one possession, WTF?!? This on top of Scottie only scoring 3 pts in the last three quarters of the game.
Oh, I thought maybe this was some inside joke about something that happened on the board today. I was not around my computer for most of the day today.
I was watching on tv in my bedroom. I was 16. I went out and played basketball at the local court and took my woes out on the other neighborhood kids who came out to play too. The Blazers losing that game is the worst memory I have as a Blazer fan.
I was sitting at a bar at The Rio in Las Vegas among about fifty Laker fans and 0 Blazers fans as my friends were out doing god knows what. I had a terrible feeling the entire time because it was too good to be true to win that game, vs that team.
I was a company meeting at Saddlebrook in Tampa, sitting around the sports bar poolside, watching with people from around the country and man did it go from yeah baby we got this, too oh shit and man did they get on Wallace for dis respecting Sabonis.
