Good games to watch

[BigKAT]

As some of you may already know I've only been watching the NBA regularly for about 5 years.

I saw some other games, like Bulls Vs Jazz, Lakers vs Kings, and random stuff on Sports channels that show past games.


Can you guys recommend like.. Must-see games?
I got some night shifts coming up and would enjoy some good thrilling games.

Thanks.

(Try to go for famous ones so they'll be easier to find.)

NBA TV plays old games called "Hardwood Classics" which capture most of the defining moments in NBA history. I only really started watching NBA heavily around '09 (I wasn't oblivious before, but I would really only watch a handful of Wizards games and then the playoffs). Watching Hardwood Classics gave me a much better perspective on NBA history.

I'm sure if you googled "Hardwood Classics" you could find an episode list that would tell you a lot of good games to watch, and why they are relevant.



Also, Welcome to ISH. You are already one of the best posters on her recently, because you aren't a troll or stan. If you didn't know, a stan is a person who is a fan of one player above everything, and supports them to the point of delusion.

enjoy!

Thanks a bunch mate.
I'll go ahead and google it, I did see a few 'Hardwood Classic' Ads during the Playoffs in my local Sports channels. (They do all the NBA material close or during breaks in NBA games.)

I'm sure I'll find some good ones.

Oh, definetly. I heard that's the series with the 8 points in 8 seconds or something, right?

That was actually the next year in 1995. This is the previous year where Reggie scored 25 in the 4th...Pacers looked dead in the water until the 4th quarter, Reggie had also struggled the entire game and Spike Lee was getting on his case...

Depends. Who do you want to know more about?

[K Xerxes]

There are plenty of great games forgotten in NBA history. It depends on what type of ball you want to watch. Do you want to watch great team ball (00s Blazers, Kings come to mind), suffocating defensive (unlikely I guess but... 00s Detroit), rapid devastating offense (mid 00s Suns). Or as most people like to watch... great players coming to the fore. Depends on which player, but you can google their great signature games.
