lol blondie Kidd

[DPG21920]

:lol the guy at the :29 second mark

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lol

yeah that cat would make Mark Madsen blush

[Bito Corleone]

Kidd's blonde hair is hilarious. I wonder how he ever thought that was a good idea.

[Stringer_Bell]

:lol the guy at the :29 second mark

would make a sweet GIF

[Giuseppe]

Deads, with a majestical Saturday find.

God bless ya boy.

With your visceral hatred of all things Suns, I'm sure you appreciate this highlight more than anyone. :lol

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

lol @ "what a heroic basket"

because it takes a hero to ignore his teammates and throw up an awkward shot while being double teamed. good thing he made it.

[Zelophehad]

Jobe to Shaq alley oop versus Portland started the Lakers run.

Jobe to Shaq alley oop versus Portland started the Lakers run.

Brian Shaw's three-pointer to end the third quarter was the big shot in that game IMO. They were down 18-19 at the time and completely dead in the water. That shot gave them a spark.

Portland was already flat-lining by the time Shaq hammered down that alley-oop. That was just the coup de grace.

Almost infuriating watching Portland in the 2000 WCF. They simply found a way to lose that series.

[Giuseppe]

good thing he made it.

There's nothing else.

[namlook]

He's come a long way from those airballs at 19.

[Jodelo]

Guy left to him was wide open, but he took it against 2 defenders, and then people wonder why some people don´t like him?

[John Basedow]

lol at all the faggot haters..."buh buh but Kobe should've passed it :cry :cry :cry"



Endgame, nigga: the shot went in, the Lakers won. I'm sorry if that's hard to accept.

Huge shot by B-Shaw...it was a 16 point deficit near the end of the 3rd, and Shaw banked in a 3-pointer right at the end of the quarter. Much needed indeed.

[Pelicans78]

That was a banged up Suns team. Gugs was out with a horrible knee injury and Kidd and Penny both played with injuries.

[Wilford Brimley]

Robert Horry was wide open on the wing.

[lefty]

Robert Horry was wide open on the wing.
:lol

[midnightpulp]

I was doing that dance last night.:lol

At a Naruto convention?

The Lakers shot 37 free throws that game. We shot 16. The league was not going to allow us to win that game. It's amazing that we almost pulled it off.

+1. If only Portland would have won that damn game. There wouldnt have been a damn 3-peat....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

+1. If only Portland would have won that damn game. There wouldnt have been a damn 3-peat....

Who knows, maybe we'll be saying the same thing this year :toast

[Jelloisjigglin]

:lol Right lets just look at the free throws. Let's not look at the fact that the Blazers clearly CHOKED down the stretch. They missed what? 15 shots in a row? Refs rig that too?

If the game had been officiated cleanly we win easily.

[Giuseppe]

If


:lmao

[Jelloisjigglin]

Do you have video evidence that indicates favoritism? Seriously, when you miss 15 fucking shots in a row, in one of the most monumental choke jobs in NBA history, you deserve to lose tbh. Tough luck.

Donaghy has been quoted saying the fix was in on that game.

[John Basedow]

Donaghy has been quoted saying the fix was in on that game.

That's awesome

[Jelloisjigglin]

Donaghy has been quoted saying the fix was in on that game.

So Donaghy instructed the Blazers to fall apart? Interesting. It definitely looked like they tried to throw that game tbh

[tlongII]

There would not have even been an opportunity for the Blazers to choke had the officiating been clean.

Just one of the many reasons we hate you guys.

Life isn't fair, get over it.

[JoeTait75]

Whether it's boxing or in basketball, it's the same thing: when you're up against the champ (and the Lake Show weren't the defending champs, but they were still the Lake Show) you have to get the knockout, because you probably won't get the decision.

It may not be fair, but that's the way it is.

[Giuseppe]

Exactly, you want "fair", go back to f'in kindergarten.

Your people wanted to get fucked, t. They acted like pussy, and we fucked 'em, like pussy.

"With jacks & timbers we started back down."

[Ghazi]

Why don't you go back and fuck your mother some more

[Pero]

Oh this is about the Lakers? I thought it was about the Spurs since the Lakers didn't have a decade of brilliance recently.

[Giuseppe]

Why don't you go back and fuck your mother some more

I'm gonna ignore that because you've been drinkin' and you're out of you mind on Lambrusco.

Sober the fuck up.

[The Gemini Method]

Just one of the many reasons we hate you guys.

:cry It was rigged i tell you :cry

[Venti Quattro]

:cry It was rigged i tell you :cry

The refs blew so hard that they altered 15 straight shots for Portland in the 4th quarter :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

[tlongII]

And don't get me started on 91. Game 1 in 91 may have been worse!

[DeadlyDynasty]

And don't get me started on 91. Game 1 in 91 may have been worse!

Let's talk about it.

[Giuseppe]

We got nothin' out of '91.

I thought we was home free after Perkins hit that three, then we went topsy turvy. Chicago topsy, us turvy.

[skut_farkus]

91 came and on the 12th of june, the bulls left ya where the found ya, if it wasnt that 5th game that sent e.m.j. into retirement it was the full blown aids.
