What is the best all-time playoff series? 

Post#1 » by Texas Longhorns » Mon Apr 21, 2008 7:29 pm

I think I'd go for the Chicago-Utah series in 1998.

Great playoff series that I watched (First season 87/88)

Lakers over the Pistons in 7 1988

Bulls over the Knicks in 6 1993

Rockets knocking out the Spurs in 95 (mainly for the destruction of the Admiral)

Bulls over the Pacers in 7: The bulls battle back in the 4th to preserve the second three peat

Lakers over the Blazers in 7

Lakers over Kings in 7

Spurs over Pistons in 7: People hate half court basketball, but this was a great series

Mavericks in 7 over San Antonio in 06

Should probably be a 7 game series, Finals or Conference Finals.

Some homer ideas:

1987 Celtics-Pistons
1984 Celtics-Lakers
1981 Celtics-Sixers
1976 Celtics-Suns
1974 Celtics-Bucks
1969 Celtics-Lakers
1962 Celtics-Lakers
1957 Celtics-Hawks
0:01.8 A. Walker makes 3-pt shot from 28 ft (assist by E. Williams) +3 109-108

Really? The first 4 games were 20 point blowouts.

I think to classify as greatest series of all time it needs to be series that actually went 7 games.

1987 Celtics-Pistons
1984 Celtics-Lakers
1982 Celtics-Sixers
1969 Celtics-Lakers
1970 Lakers-Knicks
1965 Celtics-Sixers
1962 Celtics-Lakers
1988 Lakers-Pistons
1995 Rockets-Suns
2006 Spurs-Mavericks
2001 Raptors-Sixers
1997 Knicks-Heat
1986 Sixers-Bucks
