Indiana Pacers @ Chicago Bulls | 1998 Playoffs | ECF Game 5: The Blowout
night’s loss was very tough for me personally,” said Pippen, who had been shotting less than 40 percent from the field and under 50 percent from the line in the series. “I wanted to go and attack the basket tonight, use all the energy I had, to make up for the mistakes I made on Monday.” Jordan, who missed a three-pointer at the buzzer in Game Four and joined coach Phil Jackson in criticizing the referees afterwards, also scored 17 first-half points. He shot 12-of-20 from the field and …
oooh love the dunk of jordan @ 5:26 man! you CANNOT jump with JORDAN , HE’LL JUMP TO YOU HIGHER AND HIGHER! lol
Its a shame u never got to watch the NBA on CBS in the 80s with Dick Stockton and Hubie Brown classic stuff and the best of all NBA broadcasts. Marv and Costas are great and the NBA on NBC was pretty good but nothing compares to the NBA on CBS from the 80’s and one of the biggest reason y??? No fucking douchebags like Bill Walton and Jeff Van Gundy. How can ne one let those fucks behind a mic?
7:43 got OWNED!!!!!!
1:50 enough said from Isiah Thomas
What a great way to bounce back after that heartbreaking loss in game 4. Da Bulls Defense was just spectacular. The play of the game was the MJ dunk at 5:26 They made us forget about that game 4 loss real quick.
ABC/ESPN’s choice of theme music absolutely kills the mood…Pussycat Dolls? Country music? Really? lol I mean if they brought back just John Tesh’s Roundball Rock theme I think I would be 10 times more excited to watch their games. Not to mention, Jeff Van Gundy is too busy making stupid new suggestions (AKA no fouling out, half court shots being worth 4 points) and Marc Jackson is too busy loving Kobe to offer intelligent commentary.
Yeah I agree man, didn’t really care for anyone other than Marv and Costas, but I loved listening regardless of who they got paired with. I loved Fratello, Magic and Marv. I was born in 89 so I really didn’t get to experience Stockton and Hubie but having heard them in ESPN classic telecasts or separately when they’re on TNT sometimes I agree they are fun commentators. I wish today’s game were on TNT only, they do so much better than ESPN/ABC. Must be because they “know drama” lol.
Isn’t that the truth. And I really didn’t like the NBA on NBC except for Marv and Costas. The NBA on CBS with Dick Stockon and Hubie Brown was by far the best for me overall with Marv Albert and Mike Fratello a close second. It’s a shame they never gave Costas a good partner cause he is great to listen too.But I will take anybody over douche bag Bill Walton and Jeff Van Idiot!
God I miss the NBA on NBC. Jeff Van Gundy, Marc Jackson, and Mike Breen make Isiah Thomas sound like a damn genius lol
nah, they were better shooters and passers back then, but now they dunk more often
SMH…
How silly is that?!!
I guess they shoot & pass harder too huh?
32,000 regular season only. 35,000 playoffs and regular
they definitely dunk harder nowadays
lmaoooo your right….Jordan Dunked on him and pippen locked him down on defense
No wonder Mark Jackson is a Jordan hater! Jordan punked him when he was a Knick and a Pacer! Sorry loser, sorry little man! Little man syndrome!!!!
MIKESOWELL: thank you! I was waiting for someone to say MJ’s total points regular season & playoff combined when he retired in 2003
that monster dunk?…priceless!!
You stupid fuck, ‘92 Bulls-Knicks series went Game 7.
ITS BECAUSE OF GOAT CALLED MJ
I can count 7-8 series that SHOULD”VE gone to game 7. MJ WAS TOO MUCH OF A GOAT TO LET THAT HAPPEN.
”92 Bulls Cavs series
‘92 Bulls Blazers series
‘93 Bulls Knicks series
‘93 Bulls Suns series
‘96 Bulls Magic series
‘97 Bulls Jazz series
‘97 Bulls Jazz series
Those are legit 7-game series from NBA Golden Era standards. MJ made sure things ended in 6 games.
Now go back to KOBE COCK SUCKING
yes it was. without pippen’s defense on jackson, the bulls don’t win the series.
They meant Playoff and Regular Season combined- Regular Season 29,277 (In 1998) and Playoffs 5,987 (at Conclusion of Playoffs) After he retired in 2003 his combined Regular/Playoff total was over 38,000.
where did that 35,000 point total come from? I thought he was only at around 32,000?
Yeah but Pippen was shutting down quick smaller guards to power forwards to centers. Thats some defensive versitility. Dunkin aint even close.
If you look at this video again you’ll see how much Scottie Pippen took over in the first half. MJ had a lot of time to actually sit down. When MJ came back he was fresh and ready to go. Scottie was amazing in this one. That may be why they won by almost 30. Triangle offense confused the pacers too.
That was funny. I wonder what Mark Jackson was thinking anyway. That’s like Kobe trying to back down Shaq
Yeah, I saw it when that happened. My mom even told me she saw it too. So, how do the refs miss that stuff when old ladies can see it? I thought it was a beautiful series. Worth paying good money to be there. Wish I had been there. There was a lot of contact in this series. MJ would elbow Jalen Rose and Jalen would hit MJ back without the ref being able to see it. A lot of the contact was hidden. The players were good at hiding all of the blows.
