@@MoorshoI never understood this from Laker coaching and management perspective. Horry was more of a small forward anyhow. Del Harris was a terrible coach who never understood match ups. The Lakers traded Elden Campbell and Eddie Jones and for Rice and JR Reid. Dumb trade. Had the Lakers kept Campbell, he could have more easily matched up with Tim Duncan while Shaq was guarding Robinson or they could more easily switched off. While both Eddie and Kobe were 2 guards so was Ron Harper but when Phil Jackson paired up the big guards in Jordan and Harper it worked. Same for an older Harper and Kobe. So Eddie Jones and Kobe could have worked too. Horry would have been more effective as a SF and weak side help defender.

Not in 99 but def every year starting in 2001 he was torching them. And I mean taking it personal. Feel free to look up every year since 01 that he faced them in the playoffs

Tim Duncan and Shaq are not "battling" each other here.
@cadz62562 ай бұрын
Duncan was 5/6 in finals and the one he lost vs heat they shoulda won. They were up 3-2 and were up in game 6 by 5 with less than a min. Crucial missed free throws by ginobli and Kwahi Leonard then pop took him out for that rebound attempt after missed brick by Lebron and the great prayer shot by Allen. Shoulda been Jordan status 6/6. But spurs made up very next year beating levron and heat by record margin finals win. Average of 20 pts out scored the heat in every game and they lost a game lol still beat them by and average of 20points. That is domination and determination

Mental Vs Physical matchup! Back when u could just enjoy the matchup and appreciate the game as a whole. I was never a huge Shaq fan, but he was great and unstoppable with the Lakers. He was always the biggest guy on the court and the most privileged player in the NBA, but boi did he love to abuse his power… he threw more elbows than an MMA fighter and the refs let him get away with manslaughter! Tim had such a great balanced game, and was one of the rare big men in that era that could actually shoot FT’s, witch made him great in the Playoffs. But what I loved about him was his mental toughness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him flinch or loose control or play with emotions? He always knew how to control his energy and stay focused, that made me respect him. Even in big moments with all the pressure on, I’ve never seen him choke! (Duncan & KG were two of the Greatest PF and on my fav players list)

The Spurs shut down the Great Western Forum! If not for NY Knicks' miraculous Playoff run, they should have Phil Jackson manning the bench for next year instead of the Lakers and their move to Staples Center. Thanks for sharing, as always.
