We were up 15 in the fourth quarter of Game 7. I was 9 years old and my dad was so excited about taking me to a Finals game. Well, it didn't happen and I went to sleep crying my eyes out.

Where were you guys? What do you remember in particular from that collapse? For me - Scottie Pippen was TRASH.

The kobe to shaq moment is described as the gut punch, but we still had a chance when Sheed hit the three to cut it to 3 with 34 seconds left. Down 1 position, if we get a stop we get the ball back down 3 with 10 seconds left. However, Scottie inexplicably intentionally fouls Ron Harper. We were only down one possession, WTF?!? This on top of Scottie only scoring 3 pts in the last three quarters of the game.

If I'm not mistaken, Brian Shaw was with us for a very short time that season and we let him go?

Traded him to Houston I believe, for Pippen.

I thought we just let him go. You were right! It's VERY rare that THE HCP is wrong.

Oh, I thought maybe this was some inside joke about something that happened on the board today. I was not around my computer for most of the day today.

I was watching on tv in my bedroom. I was 16. I went out and played basketball at the local court and took my woes out on the other neighborhood kids who came out to play too. The Blazers losing that game is the worst memory I have as a Blazer fan.

I was sitting at a bar at The Rio in Las Vegas among about fifty Laker fans and 0 Blazers fans as my friends were out doing god knows what. I had a terrible feeling the entire time because it was too good to be true to win that game, vs that team.

I was sitting on the 9th floor of the king county jail in downtown seattle. I was 19. I was admitted three days prior and during my booking a big fight broke out In the upper levels and everything went to lock down. I was stuck im a transition cell for hours at one point. When i was finally bunk, No tvs. No leaving communion room.
I remember the cheers when lockdown was opened up the morning of and we were allowed in the. Communion room with the tvs.
Watched the game while eating my jail lunch and fake coolaid drink mix.
i also remember there were more la fans than portland fans and i knew i better just keep my mouth shut and watch the game.
