2000 NBA Playoffs: Blazers at Lakers, Gm 7 -part 8/12

[grubn22]

can't wait til clip 10/12

[dualityofman999]

All that I can say is that the Lakers have won 10 NBA Titles since 1980, more than any other team in the league. 4 more than the Bulls, 6 more than the Spurs & Celtics & 7 more than the Pistons. These are the indisputable facts. The Lakers are simply the best organization in basketball to play for, period.

[sanitary103]

the robert horry shot in game 4 vs Kings in the 2002 conference finals was an insane game but this game deserves to always be remembered as well. what an incredible series and game!

[hellahotdude]

portland should have been running the lakers out the building with all those missed shot...but they kept walking the ball up...

[remzky24]

kobe time!!!

[revengeofbutthead]

what a defense by blazers

[ragingbullable]

Bob Costas, you suck.

[hakola95]

@ragingbullable Most definitely.

[Jitpring]

What ever happened to that Binder of Balls Bill Walton and that other Strapper of Jocks announcer? 

[r45eys]

2:12-2:29 Ahmad's inner monologue: Don't catch HIV Don't catch HIV Don't catch HIV Don't catch HIV Don't catch HIV

[Jitpring]

@r45eys That's exactly what I was thinking. Ahmad Rashad was desperately trying to avoid inhaling any AIDS gremlins throughout that interview.

[Ball24Bosnia]

bill walton was such a kobe hater until his son came to LA i mean i love luke but bill walton is just a massive hater i cant stand listening to his dumb ass output in this game........lakers are gonna three peat yeeeeeeee

[MISSDIAMONDGIRL101]

pacers blazers would a been amazing jalen rose vs pippen

[MRTUPAC28]

@MISSDIAMONDGIRL101 Go LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!

[skillz0122]

This game was over. Triple teams on shaq, role players weren't hitting and the blazers were up 15 at the beginning of the 4th. I remember watching this in high school at a friends house and we were all so worried. We thought it was over, but....

[vudujl83]

Magic shows his knowledge of the game beginning at 2:00; it's no wonder why he was one of the all-time greats

[nishanth01]

Kobe needs to bring his minifro back!

[Headbanger82688]

Geez, you Blazers fans are just as worse as Kings fans when it comes to the whole "OMG this game was fixed yo! Refs screwed us!" argument. Face it, you had a chance to win this series, were up by 15 in the 4th quarter, and you didn't finish. The Lakers took advantage.

[RTR9]

how do u fix a game lol wouldent u still ahve to make the shots lol morons

[murcielagosegunda]

Bill Walton sounded like a fuggin dick.

[Benefit1970]

Well, okay, now we know this game was fixed. Good to know. David Stern, to semi-quote Fight Club, is the all-smiling, all-knowing crusty piece of shit that enabled the corruption of basketball. Exhibit A would be 2002 Kings v Lakers, but this is exhibit B.

[lusitano714]

The Blazers had the better team, their team looks amazing, one of the best I've seen EVER and I've been watching basketball for years now, even better than today's Celtics. The Lakers did have Phil and Shaq at his prime, I think Horry deserves a lot of credit for those 3 champshps too.

[TheRatedIX7]

Rick Fox = Enforcer

[cadets323]

remember in the early 2000 decade when this rivalry got heated the lakers were known as the good guys and the trailblazers were like the thugs of the nba or like the bad boy pistons do you see this roster???scottie pippen,rasheed wallace,damon stoudamire,and bonzi wells and jermaine oneal oh and i forgot stacy augmon....enuff said lol

[jasoncsh]

and you forgot Steve smith, Sabonis, Detlef Schrempf

[cookiegate]

Remember Shaw burned them up now how is that cheating.

[blacktopaz8]

portland woulda won the championship for sure if they just coulda won THIS GAME!

[frusionnn]

blacktopaz8: yup, just like Sacramento in 2002 had the ref's not cheated them

[sanitary103]

@blacktopaz8 I do feel bad for Portland. They had an awesome team that year. I think Portland and Lakers split 2-2 during the regular season as well. they also had a great team in 1990 and 1992, losing both in the NBA Finals, once to the pistons, then MJ's Bulls.

[dre4eva]

Scottie hits the 3pointer @ 5:30 u can hear Phil Jackson attempt to distract him by yelling..lol

What I wanna know is why on earth does Portland call timeout @1:35??

They were on a 13-2 run!

[koldapu]

probably yelling "YOU CAN'T WIN WITHOUT ME!"

[mr3000sr]

U have a valid point why the F would they call a time out!!!!

[CHRISG612]

Who cares, they extended their run even after the time out. It's unfortunate this game was fixed..

[ShockBack]

These were the days.. NBA on NBC.

[1CVLS3]

i never realized how big Shaws quater ending three was

[WHSSHHS2008]

Portland completely fell apart in the fourth quarter. Seriously, how can you expect to win when you miss thirteen straight shots, many of which were wide open?

[Skoshi33]

It appears to me that the Blazers never really felt that they could win this series. They had more talent than the Lakers. The powers that be definitely got the Finals they wanted

[Tyler26Spence]

what i dont understand is portland calling for time when they had a 13-2 run going?... GO LAKERS

[aceirmada]

Wow if Portland had held that lead, they would beat Indiana in 6 and been celebrated as a team that won a championship with teamwork, much like the '04 Pistons were celebrated. And they would've been the exact OPPOSITE of chokers because they would have come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Who knows if Shaq/Kobe would ever have picked up the pieces mentally? What a difference a quarter makes.

[beckydownhour]

We call this the "Steak Game". My friend Mike grilled up some steaks for this game and served them just as Portland started their run. I started to get sick and couldn't eat a bite. Our other buddy Danny threw up his steak as the lead increased . . . My steak just sat there on the plate, getting cold. Then . . . the Comeback began . . . unforgettable

[FunKADunK]

I still remember the look on my brother's face as Portland was making this run.

[chiccubs1986]

umn bud look at D Rose stats i think he took 20 shots once maybe twice and not to mention he has no talent around him when he does get talent around him the guy is gonna flourish into 1 of the best point guards in the league.... oh and u cant teach speed which he is quicker than just about anyone in the league

[ballaholic118]

D rose is only good cause he gets the ball all the time. Even shit players can score double figures if they take like 20 shots a game. If he is so good why can't he score big on defensive point guards?

[chiccubs1986]

fuck these bums except 4 Kobe its all bout D Rose kids a sick player gonna be 1 of the best eva

[neosmndrew]

my favorite part is when smith unleashed another three and became unfire, increases portland's lead to 13.

[onjabee]

i forgot portland was up by so much what a meltdown

[mt883]

I think it's safe to say the better team didn't win this series. What a horrible collapse by Portland.

[do7mike23]

its not exactly a collapse by portland... lakers were the dominant team all season they were 67-15 and they were up 3-1 in this series, it was almost a collapse by the lakers

[TheRatedIX7]

Yeah, it was a collapse. They had a meltdown and went cold. They did the same thing in 2001 when the Lakers spwept them out of the 1st round. They couldn't hit anything. If they hadn't went cold I think they would've won this game

[Congo4life]

rasheed dunk is CRAZY!!

[LuigiLaker]

I think this is the point in the game where Portland thought they had the Lakers put away for good...

[rambo0003]

yeah, that timeout does not make much sense.

[Fighting44]

I don't get why Portland called a time out when they went up by 10 off a 13-2 run...i guess it worked though considering they went up by 15 shortly after...what a meltdown

[bigoldfashen]

isnt this the game where steve smith or d. stoudemire drove to the hoop and got bashed across the nose and nothing was called, but they had to leave due to blood.

this ranks as one of the worst officiated games of all time

[rick23456t]

haha you both can bitch all you want. we got the rings, pippen isn't shit without mj

[thettruest]

you ain't shit on the streets

[rick23456t]

neither are you faggot

[thettruest]

i would fuckin kill you idiot

[rick23456t]

haha pretty tough on the keyboard. i would fuck your pussy ass up you little bitch, quit acting tough.we all know youre just a piece of shit pussy

[thettruest]

i'm a pussy for calling you out? Look sissy bitch like i said i would fuckin kill you

[rick23456t]

haha whatever you say. faggot

[rspivey6]

MJ wouldn't have won one w/o Pippen, dickhead.

The Blazers got robbed of this game fair and square.

[rick23456t]

actually you lost the game fair and square. keep bitching, we got the banner. and mj is the GOAT pippen is nothing but a choking bitch. just like your blazers

[rspivey6]

Fair and square? Not really. You're an idiot! You're probably one of those people who tag onto the Laker bandwagon who doesn't know a thing about basketball! Keep dreaming and talking shit.

[rick23456t]

I don't even have to care what you think. because WE Won! haha faggot

[CHRISG612]

The refs cheated in the Lakers favor. Everyone who knows anything about basketball knows and saw that.

[davidp899]

is that why the blazers won games 5 and 6? why on earth take it 7 games if you want to get la to the finals? a little risky? did david stern also get shaw to catch fire, and for rasheed and pippen to choke on balls as always? keep crying with your excuses, cause thats the only thing you can do. suck my dick, la has the rings, and your pussy self just needs to deal with that

[deezstack]

@davidp899 "pippen to choke on balls as always"? scottie pippen got six rings in 8 years. that's more than kobe and shaq i'm pretty sure... also perfected the "point forward" and was the best defensive player of the 90s. such a choker, right?

[davidp899]

robert horry has 7. does that mean he's better then kobe and shaq? cmon dude, don't be ignorant and play the ring game. lets be honest, pippen wouldn't have shit without jordan

[deezstack]

@davidp899 i respect your opinion, i'm just saying that wins and rings are the measure of success. scottie pippen is one the 50 best players of all time; robert horry is not. he made a huge impact on that team. on the flip side i don't think jordan ever would have won without pippen because he needed that wingman. the facts back that up.

[TheBrainMachine78]

Phil Jackson had more faith in TONI KUKOC to take a last second shot. That's why Scottie pouted and refused to take the court out of a timeout.

[deezstack]

@TheBrainMachine78 i'm pretty sure that toni kukoc's role on that team was "crunch time shooter". scottie was pissed because from like 1994-98 jerry krause basically obsessed over kukoc. and, if you're a scottie hater, he still led the blazers to the conference finals well after his prime, whereas toni kukoc instantly sucked without him and jordan.

[davd1986]

@davidp899 Pippen didn't really choke this game away. Sure, he could have played better, but he was sort of at the twilight of his career, nearing the end, he was actually the most mentally strong player on that team at the time, unfortunately his experience did not rub off on his teammates.

[deezstack]

@davidp899 after reading your comments on this page i've decided you know nothing about basketball. if scottie "wasn't shit without jordan" shaq wasn't shit without kobe/penny/dwyane. also you're 44.

[shakaku91211]

@davidp899 more games= more money for the league

[warrick82]

@davidp899 >shaw

[HeadlessEye]

@davidp89 Well said. Even loser Kings fans laugh at Blazers fans and their conspiracy theories.

[CHRISG612]

Did you not see what Donaghy said about THIS series and the series vs the Kings? It was obvious the NBA got what they wanted. Game 7 in the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers in the NBA Finals.

[coffee468]

you idiot he never said anything about THIS series. it was just the 02 series. how can you blame the refs for portland missing 13 straight fg's! gtfoh

[shakaku91211]

@coffee468 Donaghy wrote about this game in his book

[coffee468]

@shakaku91211 its funny how ppl will believe anything a convicted felon says. 2002 game 6 i agree was badly officiated but if you watch this game from beginning to end, you see it's not the refs. They missed 13 fg's in a row. how is that on the ref. besides he has stuff in his book from mj's title runs too. does that mean all of the bulls titles should have an *

[shakaku91211]

@coffee468 Brian grant had like a pair of bad calls in the 1st quarter while sabonis fouled out in this game. Sabonis 5th and 6th foul Rasheed i think his 3rd and 4th foul were all bad calls. While steve smith was fouled by shaq and no call

[coffee468]

@shakaku91211 so what you're saying is there were absolutely no bad calls against the lakers? What about the fact that they missed 13 fgs in a row in the 4th quarter w/ a 15 pt lead. they have nobody to blame but themselves. plus before kobe threw the lob to shaq. sheed missed TWO free throws. they choked.

[shakaku91211]

@coffee468 only call that went against the lakers that I could think of when like steve smith felled and they called a foul on Kobe. Game 6 2002 peja missed TWO free throws while Shaq had 41 points 17 rebounds Kobe 31 points 11 rebounds. While 4 kings starters shot like a combined 17-53 shooting. Both games you could easily say they have nobody to blame but themselves

[kobiashii1]

@shakaku91211 you cannot say that about both games. there is no way that in this game you can say there were just as many bad calls as in game 6. if you watch it its not even comparable. plus there's a difference between missing 26 shots throughout a whole game then missing 13 in a row. plus besides kobe in shaq in that game only fox was in double figures. 4 kings starters were in dbl figures and 2 bench players. no bench player for la had more than 5 pts so it adds up

[gfscarface13]

@shakaku91211 Wow, now haters are going to say 2001 lakers title is not rigt either. Damn you lakers haters are Funny.

Did the refs help the lakers here with the blazers Choking a 15 point lead with missing 10 baskets in a row???

Nope.

[coffee468]

@shakaku91211 plus his book was never published because there were questions on how truthful it was

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

how do the blazer get robbed lakers cameback and won fair and square

[imrealboutmine]

lmao !!! bill walton kills me " what is rick fox thinking, hes got the experience and talent and he is bigger acrosss the shoulders " lol bill keeps itt real !!! funniest commentater hands down !

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

bill walton good player great commentator

[shakaku91211]

@bigoldfashen no that is game 6 2002 lakers vs kings one of the worst officiated games of all time

[sXe209]

As far as I am concerned the Trailblazers are the 2000 NBA Champions, we were robbed

[chiccubs1986]

u hear bill walton if magic was playin shaq would have 35 points and every blazer frontcourt player would have 5 fouls lol yea rite wat a joke and he said this in the 3rd quarter lmao

[thettruest]

Bill Walton was right you idiot.

[thettruest]

magic 10x the thinking player than kobe the idiot ball hogger is

[seelap408]

you look back on this game and wonder how did the lakers come back??

[seelap408]

how could you call a timeout when your team is on an 13-2 run??? dunleavy panicked!!

[HeadlessEye]

how the fuck did phil jackson not win COY in the 2000? doc fucking rivers wins it...fuck off.

[azianchocolate]

Biggest shot of the game was B-Shaw's bank at the end. Gave them a huge boost.

[HeadlessEye]

Even though I know the outcome...I still feel nervous watching this.

[BOX5]

I kind of wish this game had chick announcing it.

[qonstantinosdoxakis1]

the quality of the video is too crappy dude....

[ugthemc]

stop complaining unless your gonna put one up

[wiirulezz]

your crappy dude....
