Jazz/Nuggets 1994 Western Semifinal Game 7 pregame

[showstoppa01]

Wow werent da Nuggets down 3-0 i nthis series??? Taken it to a Game 7?? Right after they were down 2-0 to Sonics (best team in NBA that Season) and beat them. Da 94 Nuggets were a special team

[FMEGAIIIOI]

the nuggets was my favorite team back than!

[chrisuncleahmad]

After this, Denver would basically suck until they drafted Carmelo.

[seejaydeja]

Denver still sucks, you dumb asshole

[blizzard908]

Yo you just hatin on the nuggets

they are going to beat dallas

[kinfolk441]

Dallas will get swept by Denver.

[liweiwu007]

the nuggets will upset the gaykers dickhead!

[cbaldwinjr]

Good call on that one

[blang84]

thanks for posting this, many people forget about the nuggets this year but their upset over the sonics, in my opinion, was one of the best moments of the 90s nba

[seejaydeja]

LOL, your kidding?

[im264shirt]

The Nuggets were the little engine that could that year, you know what I mean?

[cbaldwinjr]

I'm actually amazed thinking back that they pushed it to seven. That '94 run by Denver actually was my favorite part of the NBA playoffs that year. That was the apex of the basketbrawl NBA and the Finals stank (no team scoring 100 pts in ANY game of a seven game series...ridiculous).

[wishbone60619]

it's a shame what happened to Brian Williams (Bison Dele)

[liweiwu007]

he got murdered by his brother

[RicIsGod]

bison got killed by the african hunter... his brother

[campsports]

what bout the knicks bulls game 7 in 1994 as well? im a huge knick on the days of starks ewing and co.

[Pradamaster]

No dude, you already asked me this and I said no.

[kenbron]

OHHHHH MY lol DICK ENBERG

[cahen30]

I forgot all about Steve Snapper Jones he could help improve ABCs poor broadcasts

[samu2ube]

This game was given to the Jazz. It was a gift, every single call went against the Nuggets. These kind of games are the reason people don't take the NBA seriously anymore.

[sunshinebutmorerain]

You're upset about this? The Jazz had multiple championships stolen on bad officiating.

Try getting over that -- although I know to Nuggets fans getting out of the first round is as good as it gets.

[HuskerFanatic]

Oakland Raiders fans think you're myopic, dude. We beat you twice on the way to two championships. That's a hell of a lot better than beating us in the playoffs and still coming up short.

Houston's 2>Spazz's 0

ROCKETS 4 LIFE

[reignman40boozer5]

lol We beat you two years in a row. Floppets blow.

[sunshinebutmorerain]

Further, the Nuggets only got this far because the officials threw Malone out of the fifth game.

[sunshinebutmorerain]

BTW, just looked up the stat sheet.

Guess what? In this game where the Nuggets were supposedly so screwed by the refs, they shot almost 40 FTs and 17 more than Utah -- on the Jazz's home floor!

[mackcrusher]

Too bad the extra freebies couldn't buy them a Western Conference Finals appearance. This game was a classic example of how experience (Jazz) does beat youth (Nuggets) on many occasions.

'Tis a shame the Nuggets couldn't hold it together for at least two more seasons after this. The Jazz got progressively better in the following seasons.

To SBMR -- I'm thinking the Jazz hold the record for consecutive playoff appearances. Is this true?

[Pradamaster]

Jazz missed the playoffs in 04, 05 and 06.

[mackcrusher]

Oh, I knew that. I meant before they missed the playoffs. I know they were in the playoffs from 1984 to 2003. Perhaps the Blazers or Lakers have made more consecutive playoffs.

[Pradamaster]

Oh, you were talking historically. Ohh...

In that case, Portland has them by one year (83-2003).

[mackcrusher]

Thanks. Excellent description, by the way. You'd only hope management from one of the teams you mentioned will read it and listen.

[Galastin]

@Pradamaster They don't hold the record right now of consecutive, but they've missed the playoffs twice (yes twice, not three) in the last 25 or so years. Don't have the specific number on me, but its astounding. And the two years they didnt make it, the first year they went 41-41 and were 1 game away, and the next year they only won 26 games, still a franchise low. That was right after Stockton and Malone left.

[milesdele313]

miles daboard killed bison dele

[pcorf]

Nope it wasn't to be for the Nuggets who havent made it past the first round ever since. Karl Malone's huge game delivered the 5th seeded Jazz into the Western Finals to meet the 2nd seeded Rockets. The Jazz fought hard but after a dissapointing 2 point defeat in Game 4 at the Delta Center, dropped the series in 5. The Jazz would reach the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998.

[jaboo82681]

what was the song that they were playing in the back ground of the Delta Center? I know its kinda hard to hear

[jaboo82681]

I remember this because the Rockets beat Phoenix before this game

[HuskerFanatic]

BTW, if u have the Houston Rockets/Suns Game 7 NBC intro from these 1994 playoffs, I would like to see that too (HUGE oldschool Rockets fan). That was the series where Phoenix won the first two on Houston's homecourt, but Houston rallied to win in 7. If u have the Game 7 NBC intro from that series I would like to see it. Thanks.

[Pradamaster]

I have the game, not the intro. Sorry.

[lfigueroa13]

hey you, do you have game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and Jazz because it was an interesting game. Utah could have evened the series at 2, but there was a no clock situation at the end. still, i love the jazz. and and can you upload the rockets suns game 7, please. answer, thanks

[Pradamaster]

No on the first.

Maybe on the second.

[lfigueroa13]

what abou this game. game 7 of nuggetts/jazz. can you try to upload it, please?

[joekiddlouischama]

Can you post the game? I'm a huge Suns' fan who remembers it ...

Anyway, thanks for posting what you can.

[Pradamaster]

I'll work on posting both of those games.

[joekiddlouischama]

Thanks for whatever efforts you can give.

[fedefertil777]

the intro music makes me wanna play basketball.,hard...

[TRJ22487]

I remember this so well, I thought the Nuggets were going all the way to the Finals! (I was young and naive, and excitable)

[campsports]

hey do u have the intro for the bulls knicks game 7 of the 1994 NBA semifinals?

[JABP333200]

Thanks for this - good memories

[HuskerFanatic]

Uh, please put the NBA back on NBC. ABC and ESPN are shitloads of garbage.
