Porter, and especially Drexler, did enough to win. You gotta blame the loss on the big men. Blazers were the best rebounding team in the league, but couldn't out-rebound Detroit even with Rodman injured and missing games. Laimbeer killed them.
Too bad Rick Mahorn wasn't on this second championship team. They should've included him as one of the 8 players on their roster who was protected from the expansion.
I don't know why he left the blazers the guys there didn't even liked him he should've went with the Chicago bulls when Jordan wasn't there maybe they would win a championship who knows.
It was easy for Detroit to beat Chicago, they were toying with the Bulls in that series ... it should have been a 5 game series at best in 1990... then in '91 Detroit just gave Chicago that series with Thomas taking only 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2 of the 1991 ECF; Dumars had a groin/toe injury; Salley, Edwards, and Aguirre had back problems and Thomas was coming off of wrist surgery with that ankle injury in game 1 of the 2nd round vs. Boston where he missed games 2 and 4 coming off the bench the rest of the way....So how did Detroit get that far in '91? Should have never happened but once it did, Thomas and the Pistons laid down on purpose and then walked off, then what did Pistons GM, Jack McCloskey do? He broke up that title-contending team. Why didn't the Pistons allow revenge in 1991-92? Because in the 1991 season for the Pistons was the one where they had to step aside and give it to Jordan; that's why they allowed a sweep and walk off, more than likely Thomas knew they were going to break up that team so they went out on their own terms...but they could have kept winning but the league didn't want to so they made up a new rival for Jordan -- his friends, Ewing and Oakley. See how stupid that was for basketball? It's a staged show. Think about this from 1989-1993 the Pistons lost Mahorn ('89), Vinnie Johnson ('91), Edwards ('91), and John Salley ('92)... So this is how Chicago was able to 3-peat easily; the Pistons were the only team beating Chicago...even if you believe 1991 was legit, you have to admit a healthy Pistons team never got beaten in a 7 game series by the Bulls...so why break it up?

He didn't do enough to win. He had to join up with Olajuwon in order to get his ring before he retired. Karl Malone never had a ring yet he is better than Clyde Drexler on a hall of fame standpoint. Clyde Drexler needed to be a little more selfish and jack up them scoring attempts earlier in his career instead of trying to keep his teammates pleased by giving them the ball. His role player teammates Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth and Cliff Robinson where demanding the ball instead of letting Clyde take it to the hole and or shoot more. Look at what being unselfish got him???? See, Michael Jordan needed to learn to ne more team oriented in order to win but Clyde Drexler who was already team oriented needed to have the vice versa mentality of what Jordan had in order to win.
Clyde had #1 talent, but I think ultimate he was more ideal as a #2 on a title contender, which he was able to become for a short time, on the Houston Rockets behind Hakeem. Still, I believe Clyde was the 2nd best 2-guard of the 90's, obviously behind MJ and ahead of Miller.

People lied so hard about the hand-checking rule. Most players sagged off their defender which honestly makes sense because only a couple players could shoot on a given team. There is far more contact on the perimeter today than there was back than there is no way anyone would be given this much space to operate.
Stockton and Isiah were pretty even as far as passing and defense, Isiah was a MUCH better scorer, Stockton was more durable and he played for an eternity. Isiah was definitely better, but it's not a massive difference. A lot like the difference between Chris Paul and Steve Nash. Both are great, but one is clearly the better player.
@@halowarrior917 Isiah Thomas was head and shoulders better He could dominate a game without scoring and the same while scoring. You couldn't say that about Stockton.
@@halowarrior917horrible comparison. Stockton played defence and was respected by his piers. I don’t think for any season the same could be said about Nash or teams he lead. His winning mvp should have been a sign of what’s to come. But I don’t think any reasonable person in the mid 2000s took the suns serious. Or the early 2000 mavs. When dirk and the mavs won he was surrounded by defence with sprinkles of Jason Terry and the likes but when defence was played and men played in the league a team with two dudes with frosted tips was never gonna be taken serious…
Isiah outshined Porter in this series the same way Porter outshined Stockton in the 91 and 92 playoffs. Isiah held Porter to 40% shooting. Scoring point guards used to light up John Stockton and eliminate him from the playoffs.
I don’t think you really know what hand checking is. You see it constantly on drives. You also see defenders taking up the shooters landing spot which is now a foul.
@@notsoluki Can you really not see that the first move defenders make when their man goes to the basket is to extend their arms? In the modern NBA, getting your man on your hip is beating him because defenders can't touch them and the offensive player is allowed to push off/swim through. In the 80s and 90s, getting to that position just meant that you were going to get held or pushed off your path. It's really hard to make shots if you're pushed even a little bit.
@@notsoluki Current NBA players are so soft. And scoring has never been so easy. Defense, on the other end, is now very difficult because referees do not allow it anymore.
He didn't do enough to win. He had to join up with Olajuwon in order to get his ring before he retired. Karl Malone never had a ring yet he is better than Clyde Drexler on a hall of fame standpoint.

@@UFOsAreRealArea51 True but incomplete as far the point. When I say underrated I meant as far as a two guard. Jordan Kobe Wade & Ai pretty much got Rushmore but is Clyde no.5 or where does he actually rank as far a 2 guards. Is he over Tmac Vince Reggie Miller Ray Allen and Klay Thompson?

He could dominate a game without scoring and the same while scoring.
You couldn't say that about Stockton.
@@halowarrior917horrible comparison. Stockton played defence and was respected by his piers. I don’t think for any season the same could be said about Nash or teams he lead. His winning mvp should have been a sign of what’s to come. But I don’t think any reasonable person in the mid 2000s took the suns serious. Or the early 2000 mavs. When dirk and the mavs won he was surrounded by defence with sprinkles of Jason Terry and the likes but when defence was played and men played in the league a team with two dudes with frosted tips was never gonna be taken serious…
Isiah outshined Porter in this series the same way Porter outshined Stockton in the 91 and 92 playoffs. Isiah held Porter to 40% shooting. Scoring point guards used to light up John Stockton and eliminate him from the playoffs.
Portland choked bad.
Back when they didn't have dribble moves
How tough was 80’s - 90’s defense (with timestamps)
9:14 (force pass out)
9:27
9:46
10:02
10:35
You’re the only one calling those specific instances tough, literally only you
Well done finding a total of 30 seconds of poor defense!!
It's not that the defense was tough but it was because the offense is garbage.
.
WE DONE WITH THE 90ssss
we done with your modern sissy league
Where's the hand checking and blatant fouls they let pass
I don’t think you really know what hand checking is. You see it constantly on drives. You also see defenders taking up the shooters landing spot which is now a foul.
Lmao true
i looked this video up for the exact same reason lol. it looks like a normal nba game from current time just less skillful.
@@notsoluki Can you really not see that the first move defenders make when their man goes to the basket is to extend their arms? In the modern NBA, getting your man on your hip is beating him because defenders can't touch them and the offensive player is allowed to push off/swim through. In the 80s and 90s, getting to that position just meant that you were going to get held or pushed off your path. It's really hard to make shots if you're pushed even a little bit.
@@notsoluki Current NBA players are so soft. And scoring has never been so easy. Defense, on the other end, is now very difficult because referees do not allow it anymore.
Clyde was 1 & 2 in the finals. He maybe underatted
He didn't do enough to win. He had to join up with Olajuwon in order to get his ring before he retired. Karl Malone never had a ring yet he is better than Clyde Drexler on a hall of fame standpoint. Clyde Drexler needed to be a little more selfish and jack up them scoring attempts earlier in his career instead of trying to keep his teammates pleased by giving them the ball. His role player teammates Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth and Cliff Robinson where demanding the ball instead of letting Clyde take it to the hole and or shoot more. Look at what being unselfish got him???? See, Michael Jordan needed to learn to ne more team oriented in order to win but Clyde Drexler who was already team oriented needed to have the vice versa mentality of what Jordan had in order to win.
@@UFOsAreRealArea51
True but incomplete as far the point. When I say underrated I meant as far as a two guard. Jordan Kobe Wade & Ai pretty much got Rushmore but is Clyde no.5 or where does he actually rank as far a 2 guards. Is he over Tmac Vince Reggie Miller Ray Allen and Klay Thompson?
Wasn't a Pistons fan. So this finals didn't care about.
LOL yet here you are!
@FlatlanderAudioRecording oh I watched a couple of games
