    A team that went to the Finals against a team that didn't even go to the playoffs? Easy choice here..its 89-90. Roy and Drexler would be a great matchup to watch, but Porter would have his way with Blake. I think Buck would neutralize Aldridge. The veteran 90 team would control tempo, push the ball, and just be too much. I would give the bench advantage to 08 with James Jones, Jack, Travis, and Channing.

    90 wins. Although I would pay big money to see Roy v. Clyde, but with Oden injured, Buck, Cliffy, Duck are too much for a pretty thin 08 front line.
    The experience of Porter and Danny Young would simply overwhelm Jack an Blake. I could see a full court press by 90, which could lead to a bunch of turnovers and easy buckets.

    1989-90. Really? I'm not even sure how the 2007-08 team even got placed in this bracket. It was a fun year and we shocked some people but I don't even think it's a close vote on this one
    I am a fan of Rudy Fernandez. I love the way he plays and he's hit so many big shots for us last year and in the past.

    Well, you've got to remember this is the 1st round, so there will be some lopsided matchups.

    Not two months. It wasn''t a major injury, X rays came back positive. I know he played because we had no one who could replace him, and that was admirable, but it simply does not take that long. When he had a good game, he said my wrist felt good....

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
