    Fran Blineberry nailed it in this article about Pippen and the Blazers collapse.

    He is, and always will be 2nd fiddle. Fran forgot to mention the fumbling away of the ball in game 1 last year against the Lakers, he cost the Rockets a chance too.

    DaDakota - So close to 1000 I can taste it.

    Almost there Dakota!

    Don't forget HE fumbled the ball away and then blamed Chuck for fouling Shaq. Chuck could have let Shaq make the dunk assuring the Lakers of 2 points. Putting Shaq at tha line put the pressure on him. At least he didn't single handedly give the game away!

    Man, I hate that guy!!

    We need some meat in the post!

    Actually,

    Chuck fouled Shaq at the ROCKETS offensive end. Pippen was right, in that they could have run time off the clock and maybe the Lakers never get it in to Shaq.

    Although Pippen was a bigger choker in the ball fumble.

    One more to 1000

    Aww, man. I read the title of this thread and I thought it was about someone choking Pippen. The article's a distant 2nd best.
