yeah...I've never forgiven Adelman for that loss to the Lakers

I was really into that team and I remember losing my shit almost all season because Adelman had some loopy strict platoon system with his rotation. Finally, after 5 losses in 6 games when the 2nd unit kept blowing leads and looking like crap, Adelman ditched the platoon system and went with a much more integrated rotation. The result was Portland finished with a 17-3 run that included a 16 game win-streak and pushed them to 63 wins

and Adelman stayed with that new rotation thru the first 2 playoff series when the Blazers went 8-3.

But then, in game 1 of the WC finals against the Lakers, after the Blazers ended the 3rd Q with a 12 point lead, idiot Rick went back to the platoon, started the 4th Q with all 2nd unit guys, and the Blazers got outscored by 17 in the Q after the Lakers built momentum against the bench. That was the series, even though only game 1. Cliff Robinson's fumble at the basket in game 6 was just icing on the shitcake

We lost game 1 because Duck had 8 FUCKING TURNOVERS! Divac kept poking the ball from him and we didn't adjust. I remember it like yesterday.
