    but it keeps reminding me just how long I've been a fan of the team, and how I don't like being reminded I'm old.

    Even though I wasn't a huge fan of Rider (he was just a knob), I have always felt that the 99 team was more organic and real than the 2000 team.

    Rider had so much talent. But dumber than a rock

    It sucks when you don't have Comcast and can't watch the replays!

    Finally found a good project for me. Going to start converting these old games off VHS to MP4 . This is the first batch. I have a huge IKEA tub full of tapes.

    I have access to watch on my comcast and YouTube apps, but I live and die by the DVR. I just can’t sit down and watch a game til the family is all asleep. Had Directv for like almost 20 years. Just a slave to it.

    youtubetv has a dvr set up (tho it's a little clunky) and it has unlimited space.

    On the downside though, it only lasts 9 months.

    Ya, tried using it. I lucked out and have a couple friends gave me their passwords. I have access to a friend of mine from work who lives in NYC..... said he'd get busted if his wife found out he gave his password out. Like once every few weeks I record some soft core porn on late night Cinemax!!!!! He always texts me a middle finger whenever they see it on his list of shows! HA!

    For $20 I can tell you who won each of those games so that way you won't have to convert them.

    Seeing all these classic games also reminds me of how dominant we were on defense and then I get bummed out because of how awful we were on that side of the ball this year :ygrin:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I was going to ask where all your Lakers tapes were, but then I realized you must've lovingly had them converted to SuperVHS and then LaserDisc and then DVD and then BluRay years ago. Imagine losing that!

    That team also had
    Stacey Augmon
    Jimmy Jackson
    Walt Williams
    Greg Anthony
    And that's not even mentioning Jermaine O'Neal and Bonzi Wells, who didn't get to play. Or the mighty JOHN CROTTY.

    It was STACKED.

    Yes, but the 2000 team had Pippen, so it wins.

    The more time passes I think that'll be the closest I ever see the Blazers to a championship. I was pretty young in the Drexler era and while I remember it, it's vague enough that I don't think I quite understood at the time how close they were. (I was 7).
