Defense is part of the game too! Knicks had lj, Oakley, Ewing, and spree well on offense with Ewing it was a fun team and a helluva run! I'm pretty sure they were an 8th seed and then ran into a monster named Hakeem that year. The 87 rockets had twin towers 2 7 footers. I could care less about statistics that mavs team couldn't play with those older teams. It's called the eye test... All is debatable but if those mavs had to play the physical ball and hand checking back in the day they wouldn't have won a series against any of those teams...

But that team was fun to play with on older games so why not bring them and that arena back to these new machines,so we can re-visit that series. Plus their logo is in the pro am video.

Exactly! Only thing I do with the show every year is download and create the 95 Mariners with Edgar, Griffey, Buchner, randy, etc. it takes me back. I've done the same with creating a classic league with all the classic teams and I play as 96 sonics. Playing that 93-94 team would take me back to my youth of not just playing with that team and video games but how fun it was and how electric this city got watching them and living and breathing with every game. I guess that's why the more the better and some share the same feelings about their teams. I'd like to see every team have at least 1 classic team though. No need for 6 bulls teams or 3-4 lakers teams IMO before everyone has a representative from their team.

And I would love to see these unis make a visit to these new machines as well:

I can play with 2 T-Macs?

I'm going to buy about 5 copies of this game.

Hakeem? They faced Duncan and David Robinson. Ewing was done by then (didn't play in the last two rounds), LJ was done by then, Oakley wasn't on the team. Camby, Sprewell, Houston were the heroes. They were terrible offensively god awful.

Off the eye test the Mavs are pretty clearly an elite offense who could run and shoot the lights out it's really not up for debate...I'm a Knicks fan I saw that '99 team no way in hell could they run with the '03 Mavs or any of the elite 2000's teams or any true elite championship team for that matter. They'd lose in 5 games just like they did against the Spurs.

Handchecking doesn't make defenses superior and those Mavs teams played with zone and more watered down hand checking in '02-'03 in a strong defensive league. You've got 80's teams up there don't see how the Mavs don't excel in the more open, transition based 80's game. You do realize FG%, points per game, offensive rating anything related to offense was higher in the 80's than in any other decade in NBA history right?

A www mixed up my years... No need to argue. You have your opinion and I have mine. It's all good.

I was talking about the team with Ewing, lj, Houston, sprewell, camby though. It was helluva run. I was also mixing them up with 94 knicks that lost in 7 to rockets.

Why would they add a garbage team though?
