Wasnt this the year the knicks upset like every one? They beat the heat with this shot, and then didnt larry johnson hit that 4 point play that sent them to the finals?
@MBiornfence Yep. Knicks upset the rival Heat, swept the Mutombo led Hawks, and got revenge against Reggie Miller's Pacers. They were on a roll that year's playoffs.
This wasnt a surprise to me, looking into the season - there were only 50 games sometimes 3 in a row because of the time. I doubt that any team belonged to their respective seed in the conference. Maybe Miami was #1 throughout but the Knicks would've went up if the season was a normal one.
They've missed one game - 1995 IND ORL Game 4 Conf Finals, 4 lead changes in the last 13.3 sec with Shaq fouled out. Penny, Reggie, Smit etc best playoff game finish ever
@CoolerKing37 Yeah those Knick/Heat games always drew a a good deal of Knick fans to the arena. Its the same with any Miami/New York sports game down here.
I went absolutely insane when Houston made this. When it hit the front of the rim I got terrified, then when it bounced in I lost it. Unbelievable series and chapter in the Knicks-Heat rivalry which in my opinion was one of the best to watch (with a dog in a fight). Don't know why so many people knocking the Knicks as an 8 over 1 upest...the Nuggets, Warriors, and Knicks upsets were all remarkable.
I remember this series I was pretty in shock. I think they actually made it all the way to the finals which was really impressive since each series they were threatening to fire van gundy if the team didnt advance to the next round rofl
#1 over #8 but I think Miami only had a 7 game lead on NY coming into the playoffs because of the lockout. Not near as big as Denver over Seattle or Golden State over Dallas.
ya know this moments kinda crazy cuz while the game is close that one bounce ends the heat season, but in all honesty they rushed their last attempt, he was almost near halfcourt (the guy who shot it for the heat), but its just a surreal moment and they lost it, they were up, and then they lost
You're only half right. In 1994 the 8th seed Denver Nuggets upset the #1 seed Seattle Supersonics in the first round.
The year before the Sonics had made it to the West Finals as the #2 seed losing to Barkley and the Suns. Then in '94 they lost game 5 at home to the Nuggets w/ the infamous camera shot of Dikembe laying on the court.
Eventually, many of the same core Sonic players, Gary Payton, Sean Kemp, Sam Perkins and Nate McMillan got to the NBA finals in '96 vs MJ's Bulls.
Yes but the Mavs reached the Finals the year prior and had the best record in the league, while the warriors had to win 9 of their last 10 including a win AND a loss that night by the clippers just to get in
@maxedwell well 1 of the reasons why I think that it was the biggest upset, is that the record of Mavs 67-15, {which is big nowadays), and warriors was 42-40, and the difference is quite big. But its just my opinion, that's all.
I forget exactly how the Knicks were an 8 seed that season. Wasnt this the lockout season? If the Knicks were good enough to knock off #1 seed and go all the way to the Finals then why were they at an 8th seed?
i believe since with only 50 games any losing streak could kill ur chances, but the sucked until the final 15 games or so and snuck in, and then just made a run during the playoffs, so we'll never exactly know how that team wouldve turned out over a full season
@playoffexpert1 - "but the sucked until the final 15 games or so and snuck in" A bunch of guys that did not know each other, did then "gel" as a team, and were then playing the best basketball in the eastern conference. If Ewing did not go down, they might have won.
@bigdaddymatty17 - "If the Knicks were good enough to knock off #1 seed and go all the way to the Finals then why were they at an 8th seed" Bunch of new guys got to know and trust each other late in the season.
Best part about the Knicks/Heat rivalry was all the New York fans that took over those games in Miami. Listen to the roar after Houston's shot falls - that place was almost like the mini-Garden.
u might want to check your facts dumbshit.. and u can google it for all i care, and i also dont give a rats ass if u think the GSW played as a 4th seed because fact is..... they were an 8th seed who knocked off a 1st seed MAVERICKS team, that was my point, u stupid reterded shit for brains motherfucker get a fucking life..commenting on my 7 month old reply..lol what a fucking douchebag for sports knoweldge....haha.here google this... 2007 NBA playoff picture...since u think im not 2 bright.lol
yeah because a dumb ass retard by the name of word85208 clicked on it 3 time...lol wtf ROTF u cant even back up or reply on everything i said, so either make a point or fuck off asswipe
IMO the biggest 1st rd upset was seattle-denver in 94'...but houston's last second shot here is probably the most memorable moment of a seed 1-seed 8 upset.
Nah Golden State over Dallas in 2007 is the biggest 1st round upset in my book, the Warriors had the greatest home court advantage of any team in sports history probably
Look at Latrell Sprewell at the end of the clip trying to choke Larry Johnson and Allan Houston at the same time while they are jus trying to celebrate allan houston's shot... He jus doesnt learn his lesson from choking P.J. Carlisimo... LOL...
