2000 Western Finals Game 7 - Blazers @ Lakers - with Introduction Pregame

[ozama630]

Damn I miss NBA on NBC.

[masala716]

why would you foul down three with 32.6 seconds left? idiotic decision.

[davd1986]

Fuck the Lakers. If there is a team that Stern loves more than the Heat it's the Lakers. I've never seen a team get so much help from the refs in the playoffs. It happens every year. 2000 vs the Blazers, 2001 vs the Spurs, 2002 vs the Kings, 2004 vs the Spurs, 2010 vs the Celtics. Shit keeps happening too often to anyone that plays the Lakers. Even when they were playing the Bulls in the 90's, they would get more of the calls. People bitch about the Bulls getting the calls, that's BS!!!

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 2001 vs the spurs really spurs got help from the refs in 2007 against the suns

[davd1986]

@NBAisfixed2002 Sure, but in the Spurs vs Lakers series, the Spurs were the better team in the series, just like 2002 Kings, and they led going into the 4th quarter in each of the games, yet only won one of the five games. All the games were super tight, a possession or two, and the Lakers sneaked by, mostly due to the refs.

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 give me a game from the 2001 lakers vs spurs series lakers got help from the refs and I will check it out

[davd1986]

@NBAisfixed2002 You can just put in Lakers Spurs 2001 in the youtube search space.

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 okay but since game 3 2003 lakers vs timberwolves game on youtube is mostly cutout even though minnesota won lakers did get help from the refs including overtime

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 lakers swept the series won game 1 104-90 game 2 88-81 back in LA won game 3 111-72 game 4 won 111-82

[davd1986]

@NBAisfixed2002 LOL. Woops, my bad. I totally meant 2002. Actually for some reason I thought it was 2001 it happened, but it was the same year the refs fucked over the Kings, in fact, it was the WCSF, so the series prior. So disregard 2001, it was definitely 2002.

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 what game in 2002 refs fucked the spurs over then I will let you know afterwards what I thought

[davd1986]

@NBAisfixed2002 I don't know the absolute specifics, and it's been a while since i last watched those games, but If I remember correctly, every game seemed weird.

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 okay I will let you know another one was lakers vs pacers game 6 2000 when crosphere picked up 2 fouls under 2 minutes left

[davd1986]

@NBAisfixed2002 I'd be interested to find out what you think about the Spurs Lakers 2002. Another obvious one is Mavs Heat 2006 Finals, Pistons Heat 2006, Celtics Lakers 2008 finals was just a shitty as quality finals with one team clearly getting the calls one game and then the other getting all the calls the next game, 2010 Finals was no different, except that year it went to 7 games.

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 i think the 2008 nba finals tim donaghy allegations came out yeah the 2006 nba finals but dallas got help from the refs vs houston in 2005 after game 2

[NBAisfixed2002]

@davd1986 just watched game 1 2002 spurs vs lakers yeah the lakers did get help from the refs little in the 4th duncan he had a good gome in other areas but didnt shoot well

[m2diggs]

Damn I forgot how big Sabonis was... that Portland team was loaded.

[willardjfilmore]

Sheed choked. Kobe made a bunch of clutch shots down the stretch. Sheed got his revenge 5 years later with Detroit.

[shakaku91211]

@willardjfilmore then sheed and his team got screwed against the lakers in 2010

[Dr7787]

love to watch this - the good old days with shaq und kobe...

[NBAisfixed2002]

so was sabonis 4th 5th and 6th foul

[ThePowerhart]

Those early fouls on Szabonis and Grant are total bullshit. No way those were fouls.

[scalifire]

Brain Shaw is big time player

[salarmander27]

thank you for this video man. you are awesome.

[MoTar786]

kobes defense back then was SIIIIIIIICK

[TheRafaelBond]

lakers came back with the help of the ref...

[TheRatedIX7]

@TheRafaelBond Aside from that, what caused Portland to miss all those shots then?

[TheRafaelBond]

@TheRatedIX7

nothing....true ;) love how you just concentrate on that part of the game!! TOTALLY IGNORING THE BULLSHIT CALLS!! duh..laker fans,...

[TheRatedIX7]

@TheRafaelBond Well, what can you do about it damn near 12 years later? Stay mad all you want to. They'll never reverse it or that bullshit that happened in 2002. Just sayin'. Look at the whole game and not just one reason. Yeah the refs fucked up, but you couldn't explain why Portland missed all those shots down the stretch, can you? They had a change to win that game, and they gave it away..

[TheRafaelBond]

@TheRatedIX7

and here laker fan,suddenly ignoring again..talkin bout other BS,gave it away?? dude its G7,one team WILL miss shots! ugh... NOBODY can reverse it,unless they do it liuke in italy were they took inter the title away,brave and good move! the dumbest arguments are the ones "stop cryin,was 12/10 years ago.." cause i think we all know what a championship means,tears,blood,sweat,thousa­nd hours,changed legacys,changed lifes,changed franchise,EVERYTHING
