    Ewing was severely outplayed by Hakeem in the Finals, needed a Hue Hollins call to get him to the Finals. His best team was with X-Man, Starks and Oakley. I noticed that you left out his dreaded missed finger roll against the Pacers that cost the Knicks that series. He was like the Mailman IMO; some great playoff moments, but not able to deliver in the clutch. Great upload 👌

    • @LadyJay114
      @LadyJay114 Před měsícem

      Van Gundy explained the missed finger roll... Ewing played with a leg injury & couldn't elevate to the basket. That's why he missed. But yes, Hakeem did outplay him. Unfortunately Ewing was a traditional Center during the era when the game was moving towards domination by the Guards. And Hakeem played like a Guard.

    3 big reasons:
    -Knicks letting go of X man Xavier McDaniel after ‘92…and replacing him with Charles Smith
    -Charles Smith being stopped 4 times in Game 5 of the ‘93 ECF
    -Riley starting Starks over Blackman in the ‘94 Finals
    Honorable mention is the Knicks-Heat brawl in ‘97 that cost the Knicks a chance at the Bulls in the ECF.
    Ewing gave it his all and came up short. There’s nothing wrong with him ending without a ring. But he might have had up to 3 rings from 93/94/95 if FO/coaching decisions were different.

      Yeah, Oakley needs to take a couple of seats. In fact, he may be the reason why they couldn't advance. Bulls traded him & the won right after that. I also remember games where Oak & Mason literally fought for the same rebound. They were doing the same job. We should've let Oak go (Mason was a better scorer) for a true 3-man. But the problem with NY sports teams in that era is that they'd rather sign big names & fan favorites to maintain ticket sales over people that can actually get the job done.

      It didn't matter, Oakley was no scorer and Chicago still played Mike-or-nothing, wouldn't get past Detroit anyway. It wasn't until Phil Jackson implemented the triangle where they consistently got 60+ points from their "big 3" (Jordan, Pippen, Grant) that they finally beat the Pistons.

      I wonder if everyone here could understand the great parity that the NBA has. Ever since Patrick Ewing joined the league all the way until now, virtually every single team in the NBA has made at least one appearance in the finals, win or lose, or has reached the conference finals. In that time span, you haven’t seen that from every team in the NFL or MLB, or even the NHL.

    Ewing had the bad luck of having to start his career during the Magic/Bird era. Then when the team was assembled to win, Ewing had to contend facing the best player of his generation: MJ. Then after MJ retires from the Bulls, Ewing gets injured and the Knicks never go back to winning again. Then Ewing ends up his last two years of NBA play at Seattle and Orlando. Story of tragedy and bad luck!

    '94 was obviously the best chance to win it all but lost a very close game 6.

But who knows if they wouldve defeated magic or rockets 2nd time around.

    The Knicks were a great team during the '90s. Had some strong teams. Tuff luck for them during the '90s, the East was pretty strong. Ran into to the Bulls and Pacers often in the playoffs. They should have beaten the Rockets in '94 for the NBA title. And '99, Ewing was old and injured. Spurs won their first NBA title. Knicks could have won at least 1 NBA title during that decade.
    Last NBA title for NY Knicks was 1973.

Ewing twice getting injured when they needed him the most (esp. in '99), Starks shooting them out of gm 7, Charles Smith's inability to go up strong, the Miami "fight game" and of course Ewing's missed finger-roll game against the Pacers.

The 1993 ECF in Game 5 at MSG had to be a dagger in the heart of New York fans because they had homecourt and needed to win the games played at MSG to win the series, regardless of the outcomes of the games played in Chicago.
