The Comeback 8 OF 12 People remember Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals for the incredible comeback by the Lakers culminating in the most famous alley-oop in NBA history. What people don't remember are the bad calls that led to it. The Lakers had a 37-16 free-throw advantage in that game. Two of Portland's biggest stars (Scottie Pippen and Arvydas Sabonis) fouled out. Neither were as high profile as franchise player Rasheed Wallace, but you could argue that they were more important in this particular game. Why? Because they were assigned to cover Kobe and Shaq. The free-throw advantage is one thing. Obviously when one team is shooting 21 more free throws than the other, it doesn't look very good. But when 12 of those fouls come at the expense of the guys responsible for holding down the opponent's two biggest stars, it starts to look really suspicious. (If you're wondering, Pippen averaged less than three fouls per game over his career.) With Sabonis out of the game, the Blazers had to defend Shaq—at his absolute apex—with 6'8'' Brian Grant. And people wonder how the Blazers blew that game. I'm not gonna cry wolf on this game, though. As bad as the refs were, the Blazers blew it. If you can't hold a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of Game 7, you don't deserve to win the title. Still, a convincing case could be made for the other side here.
...not clicking the link above, but do they also address the 4th quarter free throw discrepancy as well!?
Should have just hack a shaqed the whole fucking fourth quarter. If the refs were going to fuck us at least make Shaq beat us at the free throw line.
I was there. Steve Smith was thrown to the floor by Shaq late fourth quarter with Lakers up two. Blazers stopped, expecting foul, possibly flagrant, and Smith was an excellent free throw shooter. No call, Lakers got uncontested basket for two possession lead.
I'll be curious to know how Trump sizes up to DeSantis in 2024. As well, as DeSantis has been such a Trump supporter. it'll be interesting to see how he separates.
