I only read Page 1, but if Nick Anderson doesn't miss those 4 free throws at the end of Game 1, the NBA Finals series could have been much different.

Why does an image of Stephen A Smith appear in my head when mentioning Nesterovic?

Magic was up 20. Don't blame that on Nick.

In actuality, Utah and Phoenix both should have beaten Houston. Out in the West, probably Phoenix should have come out. There's no way a David Robinson led team was going anywhere. He was a subpar performer in the playoffs and Olajuwon ran circles around him.

In the East, New York/Indiana/Orlando were threats, but I liked Indy's grit and clutch play. They took out the Knicks and pushed Orlando to a game 7. It was obvious whoever came out of the West was winning. Orlando was inexperienced(which showed against Houston), New York regressed a bit after '94, and Indiana just didn't quite have what it took. Jordan was also rusty as hell, so they weren't a threat with him and no Rodman.

IMO, it should have been Phoenix to win.

What are you looking for? The Rockets won the title, that's how that season ended. If not them, who knows? Are we assuming that Houston is out of the picture in this scenario? Is Orlando still in the finals, and playing who if not Houston? If you could set some parameters, maybe we could provide an answer but its just too open a question as is. If we're assuming that Orlando still makes the final( are we?) and Houston doesn't, then its a question of how Orlando would have matched up against either Spurs,Jazz, or Suns. And all we can do is speculate aimlessly in all instances.

Magic lose to all 4 of the above.

OP, I speculated an answer to this! =]

I am assuming that either the Rockets failed to make the playoffs completely or they lost in the first round against Utah.

Yes, the Orlando Magic are in the NBA Finals because they did make it out of the East.

Who would have come out of the West between the Jazz, Suns and Spurs and how would the Western Conference Champion done against the Magic?
