[QUOTE="MCC, post: 305618, member: 145"]
The "destruction of Kareem" thing is so overblown. I have to look up all the stats, but at least in scoring it was an utter mismatch in Kareem's favor.
 
KAJ scored 30, 40, 21, 30 for a 4 game average of 30.3ppg
 
Walton put up 22, 14, 22, 19 for a 4 game average of 19.3ppg
 
I'll try to find rebounding and blocked shot numbers - it may prove difficult.
 
And am I correct in interpreting your post to say that Walton had a sketchy supporting cast? Kareem was the one with the sketchy supporting cast. Walton had all-star Maurice Lucas at the 4; he also had Lionel Hollins, a very good 1. Kareem had no one of all-star quality that I can identify. So I'm open to being proven wrong, but I really think it's ridiculous to make a case for Walton destroying Kareem in this instance (or at any other point for that matter). The Blazers [U]as a team[/U] certainly wiped out LA, no question.
 
[If anyone can find the rebounding and blocks stats that would really help - I'll keep looking as well.]
 
[EDIT: I was wrong in stating that Walton had Walter Davis at the 2; it was Johnny Davis.]
