Breaking Hearts In The Rose Garden

PrintGame Seven of the 2000 Western Conference Finals is one of the most revered moments in recent Laker history. But equally important in that series was Game Three, which took place up in the Rose Garden on May 26 of that year. The Lakers had been blown out in Game Two at Staples and needed a road win to recapture home-court advantage. They got it, but just barely and not before falling behind 15 to 2. If you have 10 minutes to burn and want to get warmed up for the Lakers' return to Portland tonight, I recommend giving this highlight reel a spin. The boxscore from this game can be found heah.
A few fun moments to look out for:
4:25 - Enter the Shawfather.
5:22 - Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy, in reference to Phil Jackson: "He's probably chewing out Kobe for going on-on-one too much." You know, some things really never change.
5:33 - Check out Phil with the classic Zen Master facial hair.
6:31 - Chick.
10:09 - Scottie Pippen HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. One of you nerds needs to whip up a .gif of that scene. I'm begging you.

Funniest thing about the Scottie part is the towel boy having to pick them up after, hahaha
Also Sabonis lobbying for a foul on the last play when there clearly wasn’t one.

That was awesome to watch. Never liked Scottie Pippen. Great ending.

That was a pretty amazing little last minute comeback . . .
That game gets kind of forgotten alongside all the Kings drama in the WCF.
LOL
Classic.

I love this guy's videos
Him, keptual, and jdm171 posted all the Lakers videos from the early 2000s dynasty games.
I’ve watched all these so many times, it never gets old
What is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say "fuddle duddle" or something like that?

Augmon (sp) ?
I can only assume that he is one of the long line of random bench players to have big nights against the Lakers.
After checking the boxscore
he didn’t really have a big night. But I definitely said “who the hell is Augmon?” while watching that video.
Don't remember Stacey Augmon?
You must be a young’un.
Please remember: it's not my fault your team sucks.

I don't remember him playing much
But I do remember the locker room incidents he had a few years ago.

Bynum, I am disappoint
Bynum will try to play tonight. He thinks he got food poisoning from salmon in San Francisco. “It wasn’t done but I ate it anyway.”

Towel boy is the one who made Scottie go broke.
Scottie had to keep paying him for that tantrum.

I dunno if Arvydis Sabonis driving the lane is the shot your wanna be looking for at the end...

Artest plays like A.C. Green haha
Leaving Jimmer Fredette open for 3 is like leaving Brad Pitt alone with your wife. You know he's gonna hit it.
I just realized that the last time we posted one of these videos, we lost. I think it was the Clippers.
Oh and the same when we posted the Boston video in January.
