[playoffexpert1]

You can't call it an intro and not include the theme, that's just wrong.

[baltjones]

How could you not include the actual NBA on NBC intro?

[barkingclam]

@baltjones I got what I got, man.

[McMarlin13]

Where can I find Anthony Carter's game 3 winner over-the-backboard shot?

Some say this NBA season was the last season of the GOlden Era, which runs from about 1988-2000. Once 2001 came (that 76ers team winning east--ugh not too strong of a FINALS team) the league got weaker. I say 2001-2007 the NBA was down but I think its starting to peak up since 2007-08 began.

[heatbasketball101]

true

[inquisitive871]

@JZ2001JC ahhhhhhhhhh, not quit. In my opinion, 2001 was the end of the Golden Era. The 2001 playoffs were epic. All of the teams were competitive. The western conference and the eastern conference both had upsets in the playoffs. The Mavericks beat the Jazz. The Raptors beat the Knicks. The Hornets beat the Heat. After that season, a lot of the players that played in the Jordan era started to wear out. I hope it picks up soon.

[JZ2001JC]

@inquisitive871. I hear ya but the 76ers were a very weak NBA FInals representative. You saw powerhouses like Knicks and Heat and Pacers fade away that season. The Lakers going 15-1 in those playoffs---give me a break that don;t happen in a stronger league. But regardless were on the same page that very early of that deacde the players from MJ's era were done.

[playoffexpert1]

@JZ2001JC I disagree. The Sixers in some ways were a cinderella type, truly showing that one star can actually do it by himself, as they came up only 3 victories shy. Now I agree its very uncommon that a team like the lakers were that season are hot enough to simply dominate "right to be there" type playoff teams, but I wouldn't call the league weak that year just because fo that. Look at the Rockets in 07-08, they had a 22 game winning streak with the West Conference at its best in years.

[JZ2001JC]

@playoffexpert1. Well I did say 2007-08 (same yr that Rockets team had 22 game win streak) the league started to get strong again. LOL that 76ers team was a weak Finals team and only won Game one due to a fluke. Pacers-Lakers 2000 Finals was a great series but after that the league got so watered down. Those Nets teams that went to Finals in 02 and 03 were pathetic as well (03 team was 49-33, lol).

[playoffexpert1]

@JZ2001JC How was it a fluke? That win had no bullshit in it what are you talking about? The Sixers nearly came away with a victory in game 2 until the final few minutes, same with game 3, and no game was an outright blowout? And how can they be weak and they had the exact same record as the lakers? Those Nets teams were weak but you're only comparing the Finals, 49-33 isn't necessarily a good record for a finals team but you're forgetting that Pistons team they got through, and Celtics team

[playoffexpert1]

@inquisitive871 I disagree I think even throughout the controversy of the 2002* playoffs (I am a devout Kings AND Sixers fan, and I'm not just talking about the fix, I'm talking about numerous buzzer beaters called the wrong way among other things). The 2001 playoffs were better than 2002, but I think it was after 2003 that the "Great" NBA went away and it has failed to come back.

[mcgillian96]

Anyone have this game or at least the 4th quarter?

[barkingclam]

I'm still working on getting the end of the fourth up.

[zspree88]

can you post the whole game ? all I've done is heard/read about this game, never actually seen it.

[barkingclam]

I don't post full games, but when I can figure out how to edit video on my mac I might post the last few minutes - it's a whale of a finish

[faaaddas]

I miss the Patrick Ewing era :(

[milankiev7]

lol you must miss losing to jordan and the bulls. thats how bad its gotten for you knicks fans

[brotherbruin]

Thanks for posting--it brings back memories of real excitement. It would be great to see highlights of this game.

[TRJ22487]

Thanks for putting this up

This period was the end of a great era

Knicks Pacers Heat were not the same after 2000

Can't believe this was almost 10 years ago

This decade went fast

[TRJ22487]

This would be the last time Third Eye Blind would be relevant too until...well now

[barkingclam]

You're telling me, man. I can't believe the 2006 playoffs are ESPN Classic material now. What are you up to these days TRJ?

[TheQuestion3]

hey wasn't the American Airlines Arena opened that very same year as the Clippers/Lakers Staples Center???

[JZ2001JC]

YEs sir it was. Also opening that yr was Conseco Fieldhouse-Pacers. So it was the opening of new arenas that season.

[TheQuestion3]

you don't this entire game?

[barkingclam]

I do and I'll post the end eventually, when I get a chance.

[TheQuestion3]

[nessyaboi]

[delishadish]

[yankeefan175]

awesome vid man, great quality wow

[beani24329]

I remember this game. I miss these games so much. I remember how nervous I was in the 4th quarter and wish the NBC would have the games again.

[OneManDynasty81]

lol the Knicks use to own the Heat....boy have times changed...even the year the Knicks got screwed they were up 3 games to 1 and lost in 7 but still owned them

[chrisuncleahmad]

This was the last time the Knicks have been relavant.

They have not been the same since.

[thatdudecozz89]

Is that the game where Tim Hardaway called Dick Bavetta "Knick" Bavetta?...lol

[KiPwnNubs]

can u upload heat VS knicks game 5 in 1998? which heat was down by 20 at halftime..AND ALMOST came back to win

[nyknicks126]

Thanks for the video man!

[gangsta4lifee]

Classic. Great upload. Do you have the game? Can't find one here.

[barkingclam]

Yeah, I'm working on uploading the fourth quarter

[gangsta4lifee]

Thanks a lot. This was a great intense rivalry. Every game of the 4 series went to a deciding game. 2 great defensive teams that got really physical and had stars to take over games. Game 7 of the '97 series (knicks and miami) was great too. Think it was where Hardaway completely took over and was on fire from downtown.
