    Went with 93, based on pure homerism to my generation. I never saw the 83 team played and although they were injured, none of the 93 team's key members were out for the season so they could play in this hypothetical match up.

    Went with the 82-83 team.  It was this team that really sparked my interest in following the Blazers.  I was at those play-off games when we beat Seattle!

    I've got to go with 82-83 on this one, not so much because that was the better team, but because at least they performed up to a reasonable expectation. They finished 10 games over .500 and still managed to make it to the second round after sweeping the Sonics in the first round. That's legit.

    On the other side of the coin, 92-93 really underperformed for the talent they had. 51-31 regular season record and you end up getting bounced by the Spurs in 5 games? That's weak.

    I went with 93. The only reason we lost to the Spurs in 5 was because we held the Glide out in hopes he would be ready for the WCSemis. I don't really think they underperformed. 51 wins in a tough western conference and doing so while having so many key players miss so much time due to injuries.

    Jermaine O''Neal, Drazen, Z-Bo, Sheed (I know he was already a star but still). Also Drazen was buried under Drexler and Porter.

    What happens if we don''t win? Dwight will start his nonsense, we would be out a lot of money, and with no real talent to show for it. San Antonio and Memphis is proof that you don''t need superstars to win.
