Hot take. Krause had the right idea, but he should have kept his mouth closed and tried to reconstruct the team methodically. This team was definitely on its last legs mentally and physically. As constructed, they might not have had the legs to run with Houston the next year.

Bob Costas and Isiah Thomas were the worst play by play and color commentary combo in modern NBA Finals history; I thought this 22 years ago and I still think the same today.

Utah couldnt hit the big shot or get the stop when they need it. How many of those games during those two NBA Finals were decided by one possession?

missing free throws at the end of games

whining because he didn't get the last shot

I’m trying to give him a pass on the back because I know what back pain feels like. Maybe he’s just unlucky and these things pop up the same time.

I’m not even mad at him for being mad not taking the last shot.

Ruined it

but I think he thought he was going to be part owner of the Wizards for doing it

Yep. I think so too.

It's like being a QB and throwing a super bowl winning pass as your last play. That's a walk off home run in your last game to win the world series... it's perfect.

Agreed but when they won that final time with try Bulls, he was still the best in the league. He didn’t want or need to retire, it was because of Krause.

He still had that itch with the Wizards, but basketball wise. You two are right.

you think so? they didnt bother me much
Costas is a baseball natural but hoop ain’t his shit. I think Marv Albert had caught a charge for dressing up like a bitch and biting chicks so he was off NBC and Costas had to fill in. Thomas; I’ll, give him this, even with the animosity between him and Jordan and not being a commentary or color guy by training, he was a professional that whole series and objective as hell; he was not helped by Costas imo.

I don't know man. It would have depended on Krause making the right offseason moves. This team as constructed was burning out though man. I'm not saying they couldn't have won, but you could definitely see that this team had peaked and was on the downturn.
