 Western Conf Finals, Game 5: Blazers 96 vs Fakers 88:Scottie Scores 22pts, 6rebs, 3assts, 6stls, and 4 blocks. Scottie played
a tremendous game both offensively and defensively. He sparked the Blazers with his aggressive takes as he scored 12pts in the first quarter. His defense was just great he broke Jordan's Playoff
steal record as he became the all time playoff steals leader with 380. The game started with Scottie being very aggressive in the first as he scored 12pts on Kobe and made him commit two fouls, late
in the first Scottie dislocated two fingers, But continued to play (He Played 43 mins). The second saw the Blazers increase their lead to 8 as Scottie hit a three
at the buzzer to end the half. In the third Sheed got hot, Scoring 8 pts in the Quarter as he finished with 22 and 10. The fourth the lakers never really got that close, and blazers held on
to survive for a 8 point lead. In the media session after the game Pip was questioned about Phils opinion as he thought Pip should have
been Suspended for the Elbow (Scottie got fined 10 000 gs for giving a forearm to the Back of John sallys head)Pip responded "Phil is not my coach. I'm not listening to nothing you tell me about Phil. Have a good day," said Pip, who then left the postgame news conference.
Back to Rip city now for game 6. SCOTTIE RULES!!!! GO PIP GO SHEED GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!
 Western Conf Finals, Game 2: Blazers 106 vs Fakers 77: Scottie Scores 21pts, 11rebs, 3assts, 3stls. Scottie played a great game
he came out very aggressive in the first half he had some sweet drives, as he was not settling for any outside shots at the half he had 17pts, and 2 stls. On one play Pip blew by Rice and slammed home two on AC Green. Going into
the third quarter the Blazers lead 48-45, but an enormous 28-8 3rd quarter lead by Sheed "Screw Technicals/Refs" Wallace, and Smitty put the Blazers Up for good. Sheed hit three threes, and smitty also hit three. Going into the fourth the lakers
got as close as 18 early but the Blazers were not to be denied as the ROCKED they Lakers by 29, and proved all the naysayers WRONG!!! The series tied now 1-1 shifts to RIP city the crowd is going to be ROCKING! I think in order for the
Blazers to win (I predicted in 6) Scottie must continue to stay aggressive offensively as when he is agressive it sets the tone for others to be the same way. Also Sheed must play like he did this game he only had one fould and had 29pts and 13 rebs, the bench must
also play there role (Bonzi has been playing great!). I think Coack Mike Dunleavy is using the right strategy he is puttin Pip at point and it is working against the Big Faker guards. GO BLAZERS GO PIP!!
 �Round 2 Playoffs, Game 5: Blazers 81 vs Jazzholes 79: Scottie Scores 23pts, 9rebs, 9assts, 3stls. Scottie played a great game
he came out very aggressive in the first quarter getting to the basket
and hitting outside shots he had 9 in the first. Pip then played a steady offensive
game throughout but played great defense as well, at half he had 11pts. Pip then in the 3rd
when the Blazers began to make their run had some nice swoops to the hoop, as he had 17 after 3. Going into
the fourth the Blazers were beginning to turn up the d and the offense SABAS Had it going with the swooping
hooks. On one play with about 6mins left in the 4th SABAS while going for a rebound ininvertentley hit Pip
in the head he was very dazed, and went to the bench, but he returned with about 5 mins left and the crowd erupted. Pip hit some free throws
then in with 7.9 seconds left with the Blazers done by 2, the Blazers inbounds the ball, Pip got it back and was looking for Sheed, who was coverd well
he up faked on Russel, and it created just enough room for Scottie to launch the Clucth game winning three pointer! PIP IS CLUTCH BABY! EAT THAT Olden Polynice, you bad
excuse for a basketball player! BRING ON DA FAKERS!!!
�Round 2 Playoffs, Game 1: Blazers 94 vs T-Wolves 75: Scottie Scores 20pts, 5rebs, 3assts, 3 stls.
Scottie once again showed everyone he is a playoff performer. He started the fourth quarter, not to worried about his offense but rather focusing on d-ing up, Russel who he shut down for only
3 points on one three. But Scottie exploited Hornacek who was guarding him and scored 13 of his 20 points in the, second half, and 9 in the fourth. CLUTCH all I have to say about Pip. Now to the game,
the blazers started the game with the lead and should have lead by more early, but sort of slacked off. As utah was resting their starters Karl Malone was injured
(LOL)while sitting on the bench. Malone though shook off the bum knee and scored big in the third, but shortly after in the fourth Pip Clutched up and scored 9 of his 20, hitting a three, a sweet outside jumper, and he
exploited horny in the post. The game was pretty much sealed when Gmoney hit a three putting the blazers up by like 18. They then went ont to win by 19. Great game from BG who is showing what he is made up, with all his
hustle and hardwork he had 10 boards in 20 mins. SABAS also had a big game scoring 12pts and grabbing 14boards. Damon had 15. I think the Blazers will probably take the series in 5 maybe even sweep, but at the farthest which
is unlikely, it will go six. The reason being the Blazers can exploit horny with Pip or Smitty, so the Jazz have no choice the Blazers are just to freaking good. BRING ON DA FAKERS!!!
 �Round 1 Playoffs, Game 2: Blazers 86 vs T-Wolves 82: Scottie Scores 21pts, 7rebs, 3assts, 2 stls.
Scottie once again showed everyone he is a playoff performer. Pip started the game slowly only taking one shot, but then spurted in the second breaking down Malik Sealy who was switched to Pip after Pip anialated
the rookie Szcerbiak. Scottie had 9 in the half, going into the fourt quarter Pip had 12pts, but he came up clutch with one three point play, three pointer, and 3-4 clutch free throws, he scored 9 in the fourth
21 overall on 7-15 shooting. SCOTTIE PIPPEN! Now to the game which was a great one, the Blazers started the first with Sabas scoring 8 points, as they were down by 5. But then in the third Pip stepped up scoring 9 as the blazers
pulled within one at the half. In the third Steve Smith was on fire hitting two threes and scoring 10 points in the quarter this put the Blazers up by 9 going into the fourth. In the fourth PIP CLUTCHED scoring 9 points, and after
some later free throws by Damon (who had 18), and Clutch (Pippen), as the Blazers went on to win the game. Scottie also shut down Malik Sealy, Sealy had eight points on 3-of-12 shooting after scoring 23 Sunday.
"I just got out and contested his shots," Scottie said. "We want him to shoot the ball from the outside." "I knew they were going to come out and try to stop me from being aggressive early on, so i waited for oppurtunities".
"Scottie made all the big plays: defensively, offensively, ball-handling, making the shots," Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "He has been incredible these first two games. We just look forward to him leading the way the rest of the way."
I think the Blazers played a great game but I think they have to work on being more
consistent, especially the bench which besides BG struggled again, well anyways the Blazers won again. GO PIP, GO BLAZERS!!!!
�Round 1 Playoffs, Game 1: Blazers 91 vs Kings 88: Scottie Scores 28pts, 9rebs, 2assts, 2 stls.
Scottie was tremendous, he was 7-9 in the first half which included many aggressive attacks to the basket, including two posterizing dunks! Scottie
had 13 points in the first and 5 in the second, as the Blazers lead by just one, because of poor bench play at the half. The Second half Scottie cooled
off a little missed some easy shots which should have been fouls, but hit a three and some free throws to finish the game with 28. Scottie seemed to have alot
of energy tonight and had a mind set to the take the ball to the basket and establish himself as the playoff performer that he is. As Flip Saunders said I thought Pippen was unbelievable," Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said. "I saw a lot of stuff in the paper about how they got Scottie for this situation, and he got them off to a great start. He was phenomenal."
The game itself was a great one the blazers started the first quarter with a 11 point lead, but then the wolves clawed there way back after Portlands bench faltered
and were within 1 at the half. The third the wolves really took over building a 6 point lead into the fourth. The Fourth is when the Pip and the Blazers turned up the defense
and shut down the TWolves who had just 9 points in the quarter, and after Scottie and Detlef drained 4 free throws CLUTCH BABY the Blazers had sealed it and went on to win. Props to Sheed
for shutting down KG offensively who was just 6-20 from the field. GO BLAZERS GO SCOTTIE!!!!
�Blazers 102 vs Kings 95: Scottie Scores 15pts, 9assts, 3rebs
Scottie was 6-10 from the field, 1-2 from three, and 2-2 from the line, he played a great game in only 24 minutes of action he had 8 points in the first half
and was really playing well then he had 7 in the third But Dunleavy only played him like the final minute in the 4th quarter damn that Pissed me off! But its alright the Blazers
picked up a great win, as they lead by 14 early, but then blue their lead at the end of the half, and the Kings were up by 2. But then in the 3rd Pip stepped up the Blazers tied the game going into the fourth. That's when
Sheed came alive scoring 8 points in the final quarter, and ending up with eighteen, good game from the Blazers they got lost defensively for a bit, but stepped up as a team and put fourth a win. GO Pip, Go Blazers. Talk about the game in the Blazers Forum.
�Blazers 93 vs Spurs 77: Scottie Scores 4pts, 4rebs, 7asst
I did not see the game, so can't evaluate Scottie who was only 2-6. But from the article above I can tell you that the Blazers Destroyed the
Spurs throughout who were without Tim duncan it doesnt matter. To find out more about the game go to the
Blazers Forum and chat about it with others. Go Pip and Blazers!!!
�Blazers 98 vs Grizzlies 85: Scottie Scores 6pts, 6rebs, 6asst, and 2 blocks.
Scottie did not seem very aggresive on offense, but He was the one of the keys in the 3rd as the blazers turned up the D, (FINALLY) and built a
big lead and shut the grizzlies down, who had a 7 point lead at half, and had defeated the blazers the game before (Which I attended it was unreal, except for the loss
), but like I said when the Blazers decided to turn up the d they went on a great run. Sheed had another excellent game, he had his jumper going as usual, as he scored
21pts, on 9-15, Smitty also added 27pts, on 6-12 from the field and 14-14 from the line, the big surprise was Brian Grant
who was a huge key scoring 20pts in 24 minutes. This game does not get any of the Blazers critics off them, two be reconsidered a contender
the Blazers must win their next 6 games, which inludes the Utah, San Antonio, and Sacramento, if they win all these games
they would have won 7 in a row, a very strong run going into the playoffs, this is exactly what Portland needs right now, and Scottie please be
aggressive on offense. GO BLAZERS!
�Blazers 96 vs Mavs 85: Scottie Scores 19pts, 4rebs, 8asst.
Well the Blazers finally snapped there 4 game home losing streak. Scottie has been playing really well in the last three games, but the Blazers
as a team have not been. Portland led this game throughout, but the Mavs stayed close. Portland led 77-69 at the end of three quarters, but Dallas pulled within four points down the stretch. Finley's jumper with six minutes left cut the Blazers' lead to 84-80, but after the teams traded turnovers, Scottie Pippen drove the baseline for a dunk to put Portland up 86-80.
Wallace then added a reverse layup, a hook shot and a mid-range jumper to seal the win.
The Blazers have sort of slumped since losing to the Lakers, but the fact
is the Blazers will perform come playoff time. They got to work on winning the rest of their games focusing on team defense especially down the stretch,
and getting confidence. You can tell the Blazers wanted this one as Scottie had 19, Rasheed a team season high 34, and Smith snapping out a huge slump had 22. The Blazers end the month of
March not a good one for them at 7-7, there worst month of the season, lets hope the Blazers go undefeated in April, and ride a long streak to the playoffs.
�Blazers 99 vs Pistons 94: Scottie Scores 18pts, 7rebs, 4sts. Scottie had
a great game. And the Blazers finally won a game after losing three straight the Blazers were hungry for a win a got it. The teams traded the lead until Pip's 3-pointer and two free throws by Wallace gave Portland a 92-88 edge with 1:49 left. Wallace missed his first free throw, but got a second chance after a lane violation call on Hill.
Stackhouse was fouled on a 3-point attempt, and hit all three free throws to make it 92-91. A free throw by Wallace gave Portland a two-point lead, but Hill turned the ball over and Pippen turned it into a layup.
After a 3-pointer by Stackhouse made it a one-point game again, Wallace missed, giving the Pistons a chance to go ahead.
That's when Hill's layup attempt missed, and the game was sealed. Sheed had a great game as he went for 24 pts. I vowed not to update after the Blazers
lost three straight now that they won one i have i will add more pics etc asap. The Blazers will start another double digit win streak but i think catching
the lakers is out of question now, but the blazers are veterans and will put up a good streak soon.
�Blazers 87 vs Lakers 90: Scottie Scores 19pts, 7rebs, 4rebs, 4sts. Scottie had
a game. As the Blazers opened the half down by 7, but slowly clawed their way back, and in the fourth quarter, when Scottie Crunch Time Pippen drilled a three
from about 30 feet, which gave the Blazers the 1 point lead. Both teams really fell apart shooting but the lakers made two free throws to take a 87-85 lead. Then After Damon Stoudamire missed an 18-foot jumper, O'Neal was quickly fouled and made one of two for an 88-85 lead. Pip rushed another long 3-pointer, and Steve Smith's shot off a long offensive rebound was nowhere close.
Portland got a meaningless layup from Arvydas Sabonis to end the game. The Blazers snapped there 11 game win streak, and lost the best record in the league, the season series now stans 2-2. This was a game the Blazers should have won
but costly mistakes cost them the game. �Blazers 105 vs Celtics 92: Scottie Scores 12pts, 8asst, 4stls, 3rebs Scottie had
a great all-round game. He was 4-8 from field but scored all of his field goals in the first quarter when he was on a tear offensively and defensively he had a nice
left hand slam. The game itself started with Portland leading 11-0, lead by the flamethrower Scottie Pippen but the Celtics clawed back and cut the lead to, 6 at the half. But in the second half
is when Pip and the rest of the Blazers picked up the defense and put the Celtics away. It was a great team effort as 6 players were in double figures. The Blazers have won 14 in
a row at home and 9 in a row overall and have won 15-16 overall. I added some video/audio so check it out! �Blazers 99 vs Warriors 95: Scottie Scores 16pts, 5reb, 3asst. Scottie had
a really big game, he hit 6-12 overall and was 4-6 from three. The Blazers had a good lead, but blew it and two late Donyell Marshall free throws put the warriors
ahead. But then Scottie I am Clutch, Who said I ain't CLUTCH? Pippen Drilled an enormous three with 38 seconds left to put the blazers Up for good as Damon also hit four clutch free throws
to seal it. Arvdas had another great game but once again in the CLUTCH PIP IS THE MAN!!!. �Blazers 92 vs Warriors 83: Scottie Scores 17pts, 4reb, 4asst. Pip was 7-16 overall and 3-7 from
three as he had himself a good game in 27 mins of play. Arvdas Sabonis had 23 pts and 17rebs. I did not watch or see highlights of this game so this is all I can tell you. �Blazers 107 vs Clippers 100: Scottie Scores 9pts, 4reb, 6asst. Scottie only took
five shots and hit three, i did not see this game but can tell you this if Scottie took this less shots he was probably focusing defensively. From the Box Score
It showed Sabonis had 23, Smith 17, and Wallace 15. The Clippers were pretty close, to winning this one, as they were up by five at the half. But the Blazers depth
and defense pulled through late as they picked up their 38th win of the season. The Blazers are now 38-11 Best Record in the league, and have won 10-11, The Blazers will no take some
time off besides Rasheed, for the AllStar break Good Luck to Sheed. I will upload some new pics during the all-star break. �Blazers 115 vs Bucks 111: Scottie Scores 11pts, 6reb, 4asst., 2stls, 2blks. Scottie had had another good all-round game. Pip was only 4-10 from the field but played great defense as usual. Steve Smith Closed the game out late as he hit two clutch freethrows, as the Blazers went on to win by 4. Scottie had a huge dunk in the game it was huge Putback in which he got up, it will probably be a video clip soon. The Blazers have one more game against the Clippers Before the All-Star Game Good Luck to Rasheed Wallace. �Blazers 100 vs Celtics 94: Scottie Scores 19pts, 7reb, 3asst. Scottie had had a great all-round game. He was 7-13 overall, 2-2 from, three, and 3-3 from the line. Pip played great defense as usual again. The Game itself was a very good one, the blazers started off down by 5 at the half, they then turned it up in the 4th quarter and took the lead, the game was sealed when the man Scottie "Clutch" Pippen drilled a three with 1:23 to go. That sealed the game as the blazers went on to win and are now 36-11, and still have the best record in the league as they are a half game ahead of LA. I love the way Pip has played this season in clutch situations. The above article talks about Pip not being named an allstar, Scottie also speaks about it. I think Pip should have been an automatic all-star no one in the league can bring as much as Scottie Pippen can bring to a basketball team, he has played terrific defence throughout the season, and if he had to he could average 20+ points a game, but like mentioned in the article, he doesn't need to anyways take a look at it it is a very good article. �Blazers 88 vs Knicks 98: Scottie Scores 11pts, 9reb, 8asst. Scottie had
an exceptional game. He had a good first half as he finished with 8 points on 3-6 shooting, in the second half Pip Only took three shots.
Scottie was booed by the Knicks fans during the introductions. Blazers Lead at the half of this one but the Knicks Lead by Patrick Ewing came back and got the win, Ewing had a good
game as he hit some clutch shots down the stretch as he finished with 20pts, and 9rebs. This is
a game the Blazers should have won, but they did not produce late. (Bonzi Wells did he scored all of his 18 in the 4th!)NEXT GAME BLAZERS @ BULLS
Blazers 97 vs Nuggets 88:Scottie Scores 10pts, 7reb, 4asst, I did not see the game but Pip and the blazers played bad. The Blazers suffered their 2nd straight loss and are now 2 1/2 games behind the first place lakers. It seems like different players on the Blazers team are stepping up which is good, but it is only single players they all need to come together as a team. After a impressive 13-3 start the blazers are only 18-7, nothing to worry about it is too early in the season to say anything. Scottie is going to get booed out of the Building against the Rockets, Be Prepared Pip Fans. Blazers 102 vs Suns 110:Scottie Scores 19pts, 10reb, and 6asst. Scottie played a great allround game, but the blazers lost. The reason Jason Kidd recorded an enormous triple double 32pts, 12reb, 10asst. The Blazers had a 2pt lead at halftime but that was given up when Jason kidd was on fire in the 3rd quarter. For Portland Pip and Damon were really the only plus signs, with exception to Sheed, it seemed like the rest of the Blazers were slacking off. This is a big loss as it puts the blazers 1 1/2 games behind the Lakers as they are now 18-6. Blazers 101 vs Kings 96:Scottie Scores 24pts, 9rebs, 7asst.Pip had his best game of the season, I didn't get to see the game but heard Pip was on Fire. Rasheed also had 24, and Anthony starting in the place of a Injured Damon Stoudamire had some huge three's down the stretch. Blazers will know get a four day rest as they dont play another until, they play the Sonics on Thursday, I will do another game analysis then. Later on today I will be updating the Picture Gallery with more Pics of Pip as a blazer and i will also be adding one of Pip's rare video's as a blazer. I will post it here, but later it will also move to the video gallery. KEEP IT UP PIP!!!!! Blazers 97 vs Lakers 82: Scottie scores 19pts, 8reb, 5asst. Scottie opened the game scoring 12 pts in the first quarter, in the 2nd he still had seven more but went to his defense and picked up 2 stls and 1 block. After that he grabbed some boards and setup players like Detlef and Arvidas for points. The Blazers began to roll when Shaq got ejected from the game, after picking up his second, technical, this is when Sabonis picked it up and scored 13pts in the 4th quarter. A great team effort from the blazers as everone scored at least a point. Rasheed Wallace was sidelined with a groin injury. NEXT GAME BLAZERS @ UTAH Blazers vs Nuggets: Scottie scores 18pts, 10reb, 7asst. Scottie put in a very great all round effort as he fell 3assts shy of a Triple-double, he also had 2steals and 1block. Scottie started the first half with just 4 points but , he played tremendous defense as always, four rebounds and 3 assts. Then in the Second half Scottie went off for 12 points inlcuding one triple, he shot 6-11 overall, 1-1 from three, and an abnormal 5-10 from the line, it seemed the whole Blazer team today struggled from the stripe. The Blazers went on to win easily ( for more on the game click the link above). Scottie and Steve Smith are playing very consistently Scottie is averaging 18pts, while smith 22pts. These first three games were easy now the Blazers get a challenge as the take on Phil Jackson, Shaq, and the Lakers this will be a good game. My prediction Blazers by 11. Blazers vs Clippers: Scottie scores 22pts, 4reb, 4asst. Scottie and the blazers took easy care of Lamar odom and the Clippers, Scottie had a great game as he was 8-13 from the field 1-2 from three and 5-7 from the line. Other Highs for the Blazers were Stoudamire with 23 and Smith with 22, everyone on the Blazers starting line was in Double figures, I did not see the Game but this is all i can tell you, the blazers went on to win by 22. Lamar Odom looks very impressive this guy can play 1-5 and is 6-10, with 3pt Range etc. 1st Game of Season Blazers vs Grizzlies: Scottie scores 14pts, 4reb, 3asst. Scottie and the Blazers made short work of the Grizzlies, in their first game Scottie started the game with 10pts in the first quarter, off two big dunks, but later sparked the very deep Blazers with his defense of Shareef. The whole Portland Team played teriffic as Steve smith was on fire and scored a game-high 22pts and Detlef scored 12 of the bench, as the Blazers cruised to a 106-86 victory. Portland looks like they have lots of good chemistry, as they are unselfish and are willing to give up the ball as Steve smith said after the game "Every night someone is going to step, today it was my night and my teammates got me the ball, other nights it could be anyone". All this stuff about Portland being favorites to win it all is great, as i am excited, but this year unlike last year I wont make any predictions. (PS I WAS CAUGHT IN THE HYPE LAST YEAR!) And another note i will add more pictures and video/audio of scottie as a blazer as soon as it becomes available. NEXT GAME BLAZERS VS CLIPPERS LOOK OUT FOR LAMAR "MAGIC" ODOM. |
Blazers 89 vs Rockets 79:Scottie Scores 13pts, 8reb, 8asst, as expected Scottie got booed
out of the building by the Rockets Fans, but My Boy Pippen Replied with 2 huge buckets one three (his TM Pull up three) as he sealed the deal. Pip started
the game off pretty good he had 6pts, 6asst, in the first quarter. Going into the 4th The Rockets stayed close and pulled within 79-77 on a dunk by rookie Steve Francis with 4:55 to play. Pip responded, sinking a 22-footer and a 3-pointer to spark a closing 10-2 run capped by Smith's 3-pointer with 1:29 to play. The Smith
three sealed it for good as Scottie had himself a great allround comeback if you dont include the fans. Scottie Pippen 4 Life! I have updated the video
gallery with some more pics more will be added as soon as i find more. The video is still here
