The Collection of Pippen's Biggest In-Game Chokes to Lose Games Thread

[3ba11]

Let's start with Game 4 of the 1998 ECF, when Pippen missed 2 free throws right before Reggie's legendary winner:

Clearly, the series would've been an easy 5 game series, but Pippen's choke made it the biggest dogfight of MJ's career.. Pippen averaged 16 on 39% for the series.

One game DOES INFACT change a series.

In the last 7 minutes of that game, Jordan went 1/5 with 2 turnovers

Then after going 2/7 in the 4th in Game 6, did this with the game on the line

That's fine. You can't make a thread about the only 2 times in Jordan's career that he turned it over with the game on the line.

Otoh - read the title - this is a COLLECTION of pippen chokes.. there's tons and tons.. the guy was a bum

Still have nice memories of this when it happened. Even some of my friends who were fans of the Bulls were laughing at the fact that Jordan slipped with the game on the line.

Game 1 of 1999 First Round

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-sdnrLGrec&t=581s


18 on 32% for Pippen in the series.. destroyed by baby Kobe.. 14 ppg for Pippen that year without the triangle (same as 89')

:lol

Shaq put up 30/10/4 on 52% for that series but you're praising Kobe? :lol Clown ball moves once again

Also, Scottie was clearly banged up for playing CONSECUTIVELY for his career despite his back injuries. He didn't take a 2 year break with a sore pwssy to find out he sucks at baseball like someone else did. Do you think Scottie wouldn't benefitted from taking a 2 year sore pwssy break like MJ did for 2 years in the middle of title runs?

Pippen's chokes in Houston and Portland are confirmed by his CAREER of choking - this guy tried his hardest to lose games, as this thread will show.

Enlarging this gif shows that Pippen hacks the shit out of Hubert with the game on line:

Here's what Pippen did right BEFORE the dumb foul on Hubert Davis - he passes up a huge clearout and gives it to BJ for a rushed shot:

Phil was pissed at Pippen after that - he already knew that Pippen couldn't be trusted when it mattered and that he should've gone with Kukoc again:


https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-27-2021/8uUPI_.gif


So Pippen choked many times - the "sit out" game, the "dumb foul" game, and Game 7, plus a lot of other little chokes in between

3ball?

Pippen averaged 18 on 32%, while Barkley was completely dominant.

So Pippen was the only reason they lost that series

Anytime a series was close or lost, it wasn't MJ or Barkley's fault because Pippen was the only guy wetting the bed and the only non-elite producer (a "pippen")

Game 1 of 92' ECSF

After Jordan scores the previous 9 points and hits the game-tying free throw, Pippen gives up an offensive rebound to his man X-man and immediately fouls X-man with 48 seconds left - the 2nd chance gives the Knicks the ball out of bounds and they find Ewing on the post to go up 2... Then Pippen misses the potential game-tying shot and Ewing is fouled to seal the game at the line:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IXsB19umBbQ&t=01h45m22s


Pippen averaged 16 on 40% in this series and was outplayed by X-man (19 on 50%), which caused an unexpected 7 game series that nearly derail the repeat

Just getting started.. Building up to the goat choke.. Well, 2nd goat choke

[MadDog]

Would refusing to check into a game be a choke? That was more along the line of quitting.

Nothing but respect from MJ. Its kind of sad that he backed Pippen up here (saying Pippen wouldn't have sat with him playing), and thought he'd learn from it. Fast forward to now, and Pippen says he wouldn't change anything about it. In fact he double downed on it and thinks Phil Jackson is a racist lol.

[3ba11]

It's funny because as I look through the close games that the Bulls lost - I see that - there AREN'T any... hardly any any 1 possession losses... :eek:... The Bulls won all the close games because of MJ.. The few that the Bulls did lose, we see that Pippen lost most of them... lol

Yes Pippen often choked but the Bulls would still pull it out, like Game 3 of the 91' Finals - Pippen fouls out on a stumbling Vlade, who hits the AND1 to give the Lakers the lead... Fortunately, MJ hit the game-tying shot and dominated Magic in OT with Pippen fouled out.
