The 8th seed in Region 3 is the '97 Sonics; 28 year old GP leads the way; he and 27 year old Shawn Kemp have 20 + PER with double digit WS. 30 year old Hersey Hawkins also hits double digit WS - Payton was PotG in both Sonics wins in Rnd 1.  GP was All Defense first team. Payton/Kemp and 34 year old Detlef all named to the All Star Game. Payton was runner up in the Defensive Player of the Year.  The Sonics have lost just once and they swept both rounds 2 and 3.

2:39: SEA: 4th Boozer foul, Kemp 2 FT

1:39: SEA: The dagger - Detlef strokes a 3 from the wing - the Sonics have come back from the dead and we head to Chicago for the showdown.

Boozer cuts it to 6 at 1:31.

Rose cuts it to 4 at 1:04.

Rose cuts it to 2 at 24 seconds - so, maybe hold off on the flight plan just yet.

Detlef goes to the line, hits both.  Sonics by 4.

That's all - GP hits 1, Perkins 2 and that's the final.

The 2019 Rockets got bounced in the first round of the playoffs; they're here though, facing the Bulls; 28 year old Harden was 1st in WS, VORP, 2nd in PER and 3rd in WS/48. 24 year old Capela, 29 year old Faried cross 20 PER and Capela adds double digit WS; Harden won the MVP the year before and was second this year.  The Rockets knocked off the top seeded Bulls and, like the Spurs, have lost just once in the tournament.

The top remaining seed in Region 1 is San Antonio; it's all about the 27 year old Duncan, 2nd in the NBA in PER, 3rd in Win Shares, 3rd in VORP, 2nd in WS/48.  The Spurs were the top defensive team in '04 and just run of the mill offensively. San Antonio has yet to have an easy series; they've had to go down to the Showdown in all 3 rounds - Duncan's been PotG in all 6 Spurs wins; if they close this out, he will win MVP for Region 1.  Duncan had won back to back MVPs coming into 2004, Garnett took the award this year.  Duncan was an All Star in '04, Bowen made the All Defensive first team, Duncan the 2nd team.

Magic was MVP of the NBA Finals; he and Kareem were both All Stars, Kareem was 1st Team All Defense.

Quarter century difference between these two clubs; the Spurs, despite only reaching the West Semis (losing to LA) are the second seed in Region 1, so they get games 1 and 3 at home. 32 year old Kareem v 27 year old Duncan; we also have the two baby point guards; Magic's 20, Parker 21.  Winner becomes our first team to advance to the Sweet 16.  It's the top offense of 1980 against the top defense of 2004.
