Phoenix/Boston playoff game from the 70s that went to I think 3OTs comes to mind.

A Boston/Milwaukee OT game when Havlicek went against Kareem comes to mind.

The Lakers over Portland comes to mind, and so does a Laker comeback against Sacto. Both controversial, but still great games.

This game today was played at a higher level than any I can remember since Lakers/Boston 20 years ago.

Those are definitely on the list. Just off the top of my head, I'll add Mike's winner against Utah, Magic's hook shot in Game 4 of the 87 Finals, Reggie's last-second flurry against the Knicks and a second- or third-round game in the mid-90s where the Magic and the Pacers traded like four go-ahead shots in the last 20 seconds.

Get the thinking caps on because I'm sure this will be a hot topic over the next few days.

You wont even utilize the big man you have but you run PnR with freaking Boris DIAW! over and over.

Didnt foul Duncan
No post plays
No plays called for Shaq
No players cutting to the hole
No Grant Hill (Smart player)

and then in the last seconds you take out yorur inside and let the offense drive in for the win.

He should be gone thus summe

Thank you...........

We're so tired of watching this shlupp get out-coached in crunch time. I put a $100 on it that his end of game plays read, "Somebody catch and somebody shoot" .........that's about as good as a tactician that man is.

Best playoff game in years. WOW! Can you imagine any other instance where two championship contenders faced eachother in the FIRST ROUND?

I feel sorry for the next two teams to play, because it won't come close to this.

that was so intense it was insane. So many clutch shots. Great game, worthy of a WCF

Oh My god what a freaking game!! Duncan's shot HAS to go down as one of the most clutch in history. Wow, Who thinks the Spurs are boring again??

But that wasn't a great game. It was like 73-72. It had a great ending don't get me wrong but the overall game was boring until the last 30 seconds.

This Game was incredible , i thought the Suns had it at the end of the 4th and bang , i thought they had it at the end of OT and Tim Duncan hits a 3 while Amare is fouled out . Then Parker and Thomas foul out and i thought the momentum shifted again to Phoenix . But they couldn't handle it .

Just amazing WOW , def. the best Game i've seen.

I really feel bad for Nash. He carried them as far as he could.

But what a game! Everything else will probably just pale in comparison.

Of course it doesn't matter, but yes, I saw that too, and no one picked it up on the replay (announcers)

Duncans three...................WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

He just gained my total respect...And i dont know why it took this long to realize!!!

nash hit an incredible shot too, fading out of bounds and swooosh.. i thought for sure 3rd overtime. Manu came up big as some people thought he would in that last overtime though

I agree; the Lakers actually had a pretty comfortable margin for most of the game until the Spurs made a late charge. Other than the last two shots, it wasn't a very well-played game.

I guess because he is usally very boring...But todays game!!...Wow

Hey guys, sorry to kind of interrupt things here, but because of the thread's size, we have to lock it and open up a new one.

So carry all of your thoughts into that one.
