Magic balled out that series. Phoenix won because Chambers/West outplayed LA's frontcourt and Hornacek outplayed Byron Scott.

Clyde was the best player in the 1990 Finals not named Isiah while Porter got annihilated by Zeke. Then in '92 Clyde put up 25/8/5 against Pippen while Porter had a subpar series vs the great John Paxson.

Um, Clyde never missed the playoffs his entire career. Meanwhile Porter didn't win another playoff series after Clyde left until he rode as a 4th wheel with the Duncan/Admiral Spurs.

And LOL @ Porter being as good as Clyde. Drexler was All-NBA in '90 & '91 while Porter never made All-NBA and just made his first of only 2 All-Star games in '91.


>LoL..Tom Chambers is the modern day equivalent of David Lee &

you mean until KJ *and* Chambers arrived.

the Blazers weren't underachieving, they just weren't that good until they got Drexler some help. and Petrovic couldn't get any playing time because he was playing behind the best SG in the NBA not named Michael Jordan.


>Meanwhile KJ was busy turning Thunder Dan & Hornacek
>into All-Star while also making Chambers a household name. If

Hornacek became an All-Star by being one of the best shooters in the league, and Chambers was a household name from winning the 1987 All-Star MVP dominating one of the most talent-laden All-Star games ever.


>the Suns had a legit bigman such as Duck they would have made
>it to the Finals in '90.

LOL - Duckworth was the softest center in the league. Mark West was better than him in '90.

except KJ was healthy enough to play well in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs that year, dummy.

>Except KJ beat Karl/Stockton in 1990 w/ Tom Chamber playing

and Chris Mullin beat Karl/Stockton in 1989 w/ Mitch Richmond playing wingman. so I guess Mullin was better than Karl too.
