Great quiz. The spelling of a few players names were tough to figure out.

I missed 3 that I can excuse myself from. Won't say the names in case people read the thread posts before playing. There was 1 that was a real head slapper. Little disappointed in myself on that one.

4 total.

I got 44 out of 54 and evidently early onset Alzheimer's...

Embolden are the ones I can't believe I forgot.

Jordan Farmar
Josh Powell
Devean George
Lindsay Hunter
Mike Penberthy
Slava
Ron Harper
Isaiah Rider
AC Green
John Salley

Had Josh Powell's mug in my mind but couldn't remember his name.

Thought about Penberthy and didn't even bother. Thought we had him well before first Shaq/Kobe chip.

For whatever reason I forgot we had AC back for that first PJ Chip as well.

I can't believe I forgot two of the guys. Maybe one more. The others I forgot I am fine with. 43/54 for me.

Should have been 49, but Slava didn't go through.

Rider and Penberthy weren't on the playoff roster in 2001. I got messed up when I checked Rider and he stuck.

I missed Luke Walton. Sorry, Coach.

Biggest "duh..." miss was Metta World Peace. That bland name of his made me forget. I missed him and I got Slava Medvedenko. Sorry, Metta.

Phil actually trolled us by playing Slava in Gm 7 on the road in Sac. And he played well, even.

I missed Shaw, Lue, Samaki Walker, Penberthy, Mbenga, Powell, and Knight. And Shaw and Lue were relatively easy ones (one's a current assistant coach and how could I forget the Iverson stepping-on-Lue play in the NBA Finals?).

I also typed in "Grant", which was correct, except that I was thinking of Brian Grant in my head and out popped Horace, of course!

Yeah I tried every combination of one and two r's and s's in his name, eventually gave up and Googled it.

I got all the 2009 & 2010 ones but only half or so from the 3peat. I think 42/54 overall. Hard to remember names from when you were 6, lol.

54/54 for me as well. Fun quiz!

D.J. Mbenga was the culprit for me...took me forever to remember him.

Weirdly enough though, I got the 2000-2002 teams quite quickly and struggled with some of the recent ones (Luke, Mbenga, Shannon Brown!)

And yes, Adam Morrison is missing...

I'm thinking with Adam Morrison...did he make the playoff roster?? I don't remember. Jelani McCoy (Go Bruins!) was on the 2002 team, but he wasn't on the playoff roster and not on this list either.

Morrison wasn't on the playoff roster, but neither were JR Rider and Mike Penberthy but they were included.
