    Recap: The Blazers take Game 1 from the series upsetting the Pacers on the road. The Blazers trailed after each quarter but kept the game close enough. In the 4th they finally overtook the Pacers and won the game. They played tough defense in the 4th holding Indiana to just 14 points. Jermaine O

    Only Portland would give up a 3-0 lead... I always thought those two were comparable teams, the early-00's Blazers and mid-00's Pacers. Both certainly good enough to win it all, balanced team top to bottom, no real superstars but first options who could play like one (JO and Sheed), former superstars on their last leg (Pip and Miller), great coaches on sideline, and zero Finals appearances.

    Yeah and the series was neck to neck, tied at 90-90 in Game 7 with 1 minute remaining.

    vs.




    4 2004 Indiana Pacers


    Preview: The 2000 Lakers finished with a 67-15 record, the best seen in the entire decade. Definitely making them worthy of a #1 seed in this tournament. The playoffs weren't as easy, but they made it through eventually winning the championship. O'Neal was at his peak and maybe the best player in this entire tournament. Kobe was an all-star but not quite in his prime yet. Nonetheless, they had Rice who was probably the best role-player they had in their 1st 3-peat and could make up for Kobe not being at in his prime yet.

    Pistons-Heat will be a great matchup. 2006 ECF rematch, except Detroit's a little younger.
