Oh man, I need to tell off after that game. That was just an incredible national TV game.

I would like to personally thank Jack Vaughn, every member of the Nets organization,

for actually trying and giving us that classic game that went down to the very end-carous

Levert missing a step back jumper that could have won it for the Nets, kept the blazers

then the nets actually started doubling him literally in the back court to get the ball out of his

hands and Portland. At that point, I mean, it was just a question of who is going to get the wide
