This is a tough one. There's just so many moments that are hugely positive and an equal number to the contrary.

One of my faves? Swinging the trade for Barkley. That was a HUGE deal and the run to the Finals was a monumental time for the organization and the valley. I think the 92-93 season overshadows what he just experienced even as good as it was despite the same end result.

One of my least faves? Watching Richard Dumas, who had substance abuse issues but somehow got it together and looked like a young stud during that season and Finals run, fail to shake those demons and destroy a promising career in the span of two seasons. I was so excited for him. Still have his jersey, the only one I had before I was given one for Gerald Green by my wife.

Did this postseason had the most amount of epic moments though? Let's see:

1. Beating the Lebron Lakers and humiliating them in games 4 5 and 6. Book close out game.
2. Chris Paul perfect close out of the Nuggets.
3. Book's triple double + Valley Oop + CP's masterpiece of game 6.


That's a lot for one season.
