If the SuperSonics don't blow it in the '94/'95 Playoffs..

[coolhandsteve]

..how far do they go in those two postseasons? Assuming the other teams advanced to the 2nd round as they did in the 1994 & 1995 Playoffs.

I remember Kenny Smith said on either Open Court or Inside the NBA one time that, for all the success Houston had in the mid-90s, that the Sonics gave them problems when they played and he wondered aloud if the Rockets go back-to-back those two years had they played each other then.

Said it before, but I have all 3 games Hakeem played vs LAL (that season) and he looked mortal in each one. By the time May rolled around, he would've punked anyone thrown at him. Seattle would not be an exception.

Payton defended MJ so well in 96

I often say I've never seen anyone play defense as effectively as GP did on Mike then. Although Michael would probably say Joe Dumars played him the toughest defensively

This is '95 I'm assuming?

I'm waiting for the fallout from Duece's recent postings...

I'm sure I will be accused of hacking his account...

The Sonics had the Rockets number in those days. Like someone said, Kenny would state that all the time.

Sonics beat Rockets in 93. Sonics beat Rockets in 96.

Like you ever post gifs, or show such blatant sarcasm. Relax my man, it's easy to see, although we agree on certain things, we post nothing alike. You're enemies can't be that dumb... :milton:

Sonics would win it all

And now thanks to Stern they don't even exist anymore. Put that in your pipe and smoke you Stern sycophants. Seattle citizens now lack that necessary distraction to keep them from drowning in their own misery.

It's interesting how Seattle had the success they did against the Rockets considering they didn't really have an answer for Hakeem. I think they said let him have his, we'll frustrate their perimeter shooters.

Now I say 1994: they go to the Finals and have a good shot vs. the Knicks
1995 ehh not sure

Man alot of people overrate Hakeem dude was very beatable. He was turnover machine and wasn't a great passer. Hakeem couldn't handle Kemp like that. Plus he was a shotjacker for him to get his points. Wasn't really efficient scorer like that for a great center.


The real reason why Sonics underachieve alot with those squads cause Gary Payton was a choke artist.

Man he got outplayed Robert Pack in game 5 94 first round. Nick Van Excel blew him out the water in 95.

Nick the Quick was ballin out in those '95 playoffs. '95 Lakers had a pretty good team around them..Sonics still should've beaten them though.
