CAST YOUR VOTE!!! Which game had the better finish????

[mgb]

Roy scored 3 in .8 secs, but Batum scored 4 in .9, and those FTs that was ice.

Brandon mentioned in interviews that he pleaded with Nate and his team to get him the ball so that he could redeem himself. And he came through. That shot (and the plays leading up to it) made for a more dramatic finish.

As mentioned before, it seemed like we lucked out a bit last night (Spurs unforced turnover with .9 left, and refs missing two travels before Nic's FTs).

I think those missed travels were because of how often Parker/Splitter both traveled

I voted for Brandon's shot because I felt that we had lost that game. When Yao hit that freethrow and I saw how much time was on the clock I didn't think we had a chance. Houston's defense was in full effect that night and I figured the best we could hope for is a contested quick shot.
With Batum we had it tied and there was a feel to the game like "we got this either now or in OT"
Both were insane.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I guess I voted for Batum's shot due to what we had to overcome to win that game.

I go with the Batum ending for a few reasons. First off it was the cherry on top of one of the most amazing comebacks I have ever seen in any sporting event. We were down 4 without the ball and had just missed a 3. Parker had the ball and basically we were dead. Not only did we need two steals, we needed the four points to simply tie. On top of that we had to defend TWO inbounds plays, get that third TO in order to even have the lob be a moment in Blazer history. There was just too much positive being built up to that finish compared to the Houston game.

The Houston game was sweet, but it wasn't as special IMO. I mean it was back and forth at the end and both teams had a chance to win. We were in the coffin hearing the dirt hit getting piled on against the Spurs.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Right on, Sug. Totally agree. The comeback itself, regardless of the play at the end, was amaxing. Andre's steal was so f'ing huge, and them Wesley getting the next one was incredible. THEN the best team in the NBA throwing it straight out of bounds!

And THEN! THEN! THE LOB!

Yeah, the entire sequence was storybook. And, as my wife said, "The best part was NO OVERTIME!"

I voted for the Dre/Nic finish - my reasons are:

1. Total team effort
2. Against a better team
3. Better basketball played

I still love Roy - think the world of him - but the finish of this game was fantastic.

There have been many great shots to win Blazers games at the horn. Here are some of the best:
