because of how they won that chip, in the ECF STD was playing with fukked up ribs and still pushed it to GM7 and in the finals they played a Lakers team with Malone hurt (didn't play) and Kobe/Shaq having their war
and let's not forget the Palace brawl fukked up the real best in the in the east that year the Pacers
what? no credit to us having a top five bench that year, a top three defensive team that year?
nikka you DID NOT WATCH those finals, i know you didnt...that first game we held everyone BUT shaq and kobe to 16 points, had the entire biased ass media shook
next game lakers had a huge lead, lost it, and we pushed to overtime where they barely beat us.
We bring it home and beat them nikkas by 20 at the palace, game four was a bit closer but we still won at home
the most points any team scored on us the entire year was 111 and that was a mavericks team that only relied on offense and we didnt even get blown out
we held 24 teams under 80 points that season and only lost one of those games
we were one of the best defensive teams ever foh
