Probably for the better that the Knicks won this series. CHI/DET felt like it didn't need a round 5, Bulls/Knicks by contrast was relatively a fresh new matchup.
The Pistons likely win 1 game at best if they met the Bulls for a part 5, the ascending Knicks pushed the Bulls in the 2nd round in a way the fading Pistons definitely wouldn't have been able to.
Yep. Though they were never beating the Knicks anyway. They were on fumes the prior year. X brought another level of grit and scoring ability to the Knicks that year and they were not to be denied. Had they not choked the series away in 7 vs. CHI they beat that Portland team and I will stand on that.
@@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU don't know how the Knicks choked the series away when they only led the series after game 1 and got absolutely blown out in game 7.
@@coreyrowe4119 sure you do.. If you ditch the smart ass attitude. They blew Game 3 with the iconic angry barking play by Mike and home court along with it. They got the split they needed and ended up winning the other home games EXCEPT that Game 3.
The Knicks should've won the division this year but lost all their games down the stretch to become the #4 seed. NY should've played the Nets in the 1st round, Boston should've played the Pistons again. Whoever wins that series plays Chicago in round 2. NY plays Cleveland and Whoever wins that plays the Bulls in the Conference Finals.
This Guy I worked with years ago was from Brooklyn New York He moved to Ohio years later but anyway He said in 1993 Jordan was able to talk Pat Riley into trading Xavier McDaniel for Charles Smith which at the time I never heard that but I guess the trade was common in New York
@drew1652 Exactly. That's what I was saying. Also, they should have either kept McDaniel or traded for James Worthy (on a Knicks fan podcast, they interviewed McDaniel, and he said that they were trying to get Worthy).
Bad boys pistons were done after that and Knicks were going to give the bulls a manhandled game in the semifinals but Bulls were a better team. P.S.: I am looking forward to watching NBA on NBC in the 25-26 season
This is 1000x better than today's sissified NBA. This is REAL basketball!
The intro had me juiced up like the game was really about to come on😂😂😂. THE GREATEST ERA IN BASKETBALL!!!!!!
Wow, what a game. Great job editing, and blending the highlights too.
👍

@@coreyrowe4119 It was for the best. DET/CHI was great but had ran its course.
@@chrisuncleahmad789 it was kinda like Golden State vs Cleveland, the rivalry was fun in 15-16 but had clearly run it's course by 17-18.
@@coreyrowe4119 Or (ironically) how the Pistons transitioned from Boston to Chicago by the end of the 80s
Agreed definitely a gentlemen’s sweep.
This game was one of the most incredible experiences in New York sports history
Pistons last playoff game until 1996.
That mess from Laimbeer at the end is what I remember from that series as a former Knicks fan (pending Dolan/Oakley).
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
Why when it's here on TH-cam. Unfortunately Hardwood Classics is a thing of the past on NBA TV
Between being the Assistant Coach with the Sixers & HC of the Pistons, this was Chuck Daley's 6th matchup in 13 years against Pat Riley.
best squad for ewing
Remember this series oh so well. They were going at it all series long.
this is the greatest "passing of the torch" game i've ever seen
I wish the first round was 5 games still
The Pistons officially lost the series in 5, but they really blew it in game 3 when Dumars missed those late FT's up 2

Gerald Wilkins was really underrated
Especially his defense.
@@TheSands83 I thought that Wilkins would be able to give the Cavs a better chance in 1993 against Chicago. Alas, that didn't happen.
Riley should have kept Wilkins, McDaniel and Jackson. Doc Rivers replaced Jackson and Charles Smith replaced McDaniels which was a downgrade.
Agreed. We'll never know if that crew had stayed together if it would have been enough to get through Jordan and the Bulls in 93.

Starks was coming, and he was going to get the minutes
One of my favorite series ever n I’m a bulls fan😂
What was Lambeer doing in the hallway?
Congratulating NY, shunning GM Jack McClosky and telling Riley and the Knicks to beat the Bulls.
Cómo buen Knick creo que este triunfo y el triunfo vs Heat ( Allan Houston Tiro ganador) han sido los más dulces .
* También juego 7 vs Pacers 1994
Bulls vs knicks series please😢
In the 92 nba draft NY should've drafted Sprewell to replace Wilkins. Instead they drafted Hubert Davis
@drew1652 Exactly. That's what I was saying. Also, they should have either kept McDaniel or traded for James Worthy (on a Knicks fan podcast, they interviewed McDaniel, and he said that they were trying to get Worthy).
If the Knicks kept Marc Jackson they win it all in 94
They needed X man too!

This league still gonna be soft lol
Pistons weren't the same no more after getting swept by the bulls in 91.
Yes they lost Rick Mahorn, James Edward front court they needed and they lost vinnie Johnson who was another scorer. So they were older and limited
Detroitttt basketball🏴☠️
Chuck daly last game with the pistons.
Bad Boys
Bulls got lucky, because the Pistons would have swept them
You can't be serious????
Horrible thug ball. All the starters should have fouled out by halftime.
Shut yo soft azz up 🤡😂
