This lakers team was badass. Grizzled vets in Scott and Worthy plus some young guns led by a savvy and guile magic johnson. To me, magic taking this team to the finals was one of his finest accomplishments considering the age and injuries + new coach that he dealt with.

Rest in peace the announcers: Dick Enberg and Steve "Snapper" Jones. The memories those 2 gave me announcing NBA games, as a die hard Knicks fan in the 1990s as a kid are great. And the Portland Trailblazers who have died: Cliff Robinson, Jerome Kersey and Kevin Duckworth. Who would have thought that Magic Johnson who was diagnosed with a DEADLY incurable HIV virus in 1991 would outlive them all and become a super successful businessman worth 1.2 BILLION dollars. The guy is truly Magic)

This was the Blazers only Western Conference home playoff loss from 1990-92, going 25-1, but in the two finals went 1-5 at home

The crazy part is that Portland had a realistic shot in winning 2 of the 3 games vs Detroit.

as a laker's fan this blazer team really scared me. They were loaded and just got unlucky, coming up against the Bad Boys, Magic's lakers and then Jordan.

It's crazy to think this was Portland's best team, where everyone was at the peak of their prime and they were never able to put it together to win at least one title. Goes to show how short of a window a good team has to win and why its so important to take advantage of it while they have it. One game can change everything.

This Portland team was loaded.. if u look at the west in the 90s it was always just stacked n a gauntlet to get through. The East usually had 4-5 good teams but the west was 1-8. All good teams.

21 assists in a road playoff game at age 31…. Anyone that wonders why and how Magic was the MVP runner up in 1991, that’s why (He was still technically reigning MVP as Jordan didn’t receive the award until 2 days later)

Imagine if this Portland team had 27 year old Arvydas Sabonis on it's roster! That team would have been that much more fun to watch and would maybe have a couple chips!

They were just missing a interior scorer in the halfcourt from 90-92. Clyde as their offensive leader had a shaky jumper and limited go to moves 1 on 1. Terry Porters jumper blew hot and cold. Once the pace of games slowed Portland really struggled to score in the halfcourt.

@MDBBall love your channel so much, but have you considered uploading highlights from the 80s?

@MEANDMYDAD2023 29 күн бұрын

There is 80s stuff on the channel, but there is a lot of 90s. The golden age of basketball when it was at the height of its popularity was around the early to mid 90s, imho.

@georgestamatakis697 29 күн бұрын

Rockets were very lucky those two years. They played 8 decisive games in 2 years. That's not dominant at all. Just for comparison the Detroit pistons the two years of their reign played just one decisive game.

@@georgestamatakis697 I remember when they tried to say the same in 1995. Yet most tends to forget the ref who wrongfully ejected Drexler. Giving the suns the early series lead. The calls against Drexler were so bad they had to pull the ref from the series. They were able to prove the ref had a grunge against Drexler. Hey remember the Jazz clock incident in 1994 vs the Rockets. Yet still lost. Just a few things some will forget about 1994 and 1995.
