1. I really miss those days.

2. Listened to the game on the radio. I guess I was in 5th grade. Never realized how badly Kiki got clobbered on the game-sealing steal.

3. It’s always so crazy to see everyone operate just inside the three point line. There was a 4 on 3 break where I thought, “oh that looks similar to today” and then when the ball is kicked out to the corner, the Pistons player is like 2 feet inside the three. Okay, not like today at all. That guy would immediately go to basketball jail.

4. I can’t believe the Nuggets allowed that brick off the iron on a FTA.

5. It’s crazy how many guys back then could hit those tough mid-range, full extension flip shots. That’s almost extinct now.

6. This was in the era before defense was invented.

7. Saucy
