The Oft-forgotten start of a decade of brilliance: 2000 WCSF, Game 2

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol blondie Kidd

[DPG21920]

the guy at the :29 second mark

[DeadlyDynasty]

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]

the guy at the :29 second mark

would make a sweet GIF

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.

[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.

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 got haters..."buh buh but Kobe should've passed it "



Endgame, : 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.

I was doing that dance last night.

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]

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

[Jelloisjigglin]

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.
