### Orodreth — Wed Jun 16, 2004 10:27 am Detroit beat LA in 5 games?!? And LA's only win needed a miracle play to get into OT!?! What a great thing. Now if only the Yankee's would choke like that. Discuss. --- ### Aidan — Wed Jun 16, 2004 1:07 pm before the finals, everyone you would talk to about it - detroit or LA fan - would've said that LA is going to kick some ass. people on sportscenter, announcers at games, your friends - everyone. I've heard people say the lakers are the best assembled team in professional sports. of course, they just bought the team... anyway, the finals would've been so much better had KG and the wolves made it [Bad] _________________ I did it like this I did it like that I did it with a wiffle ball bat --- ### Morpheus — Wed Jun 16, 2004 2:20 pm its about time someone beat the crap out of the lakers _________________ boxing --- ### Fred Sanford — Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:10 am Actually (I know, it sounds like bs in retrospect) I had the pistons from before the playoffs. They've been my team for a few years since baltimore don't got one. My main reason: their center (Ben Wallace) has a big afro. Also 2x defensive player of the year, he's cut like a mofo, four foot vertical leap. NBA atmosphere ain't nothin like college basketball, though. Guys don't defend like in college either. _________________ Oh! Liz'beth!

I wanted to see KG holding the trophie..There are few NBA stars that demand the respect that he does. "The MVP is in good hands." I stopped watching the NBA way back when they striked for more $ and have only recently started watching games again. College ball is where the excitement is. I didnt even watch all the finals this year for the NBA, but come March I'm glued to the TV if I can't make the games in person. The Vegas odds for the Pistons to make the championship was 12:1, I believe. So it woulda been a pretty nice bet, san. --- ### Vargus — Sun Jun 20, 2004 6:59 am I'm a big fan of the Lakers. That said, they didn't deserve to win the finals, although I wouldn't have been surprised if they had. They didn't even deserve to beat the timberwolves, but it was damn entertaining watching them do so. A friend of mine described it best, the Lakers may not be the best team ever but they are probably one of the most entertaining teams. They manage to pull poop out of their ass all the time, it's great. edit: haha.. wtf.. sh*t gets turned into 'poop'. --- ### Aidan — Sun Jun 20, 2004 11:39 am I just read somewhere that phil jackson is leaving the lakers and shaq requested a trade... so next year they're going to be stripped of the best coach in the league and the best center in the league. btw, we changed sh*t to poop and f*ck to fook. I thought it was pretty damn funny [Very Happy] _________________ I did it like this I did it like that I did it with a wiffle ball bat --- ### Sinko — Mon Jun 21, 2004 12:27 am Well, seen as many of their stars are supposedly vanishing phil wouldnt produce next year anyway. He isnt a team builder, but can manage talent. The lakers don't deserve to win because all of their talent is bought. And everyone claims to be a lakers fan from birth, although it's only been the last couple years. My eyes are bleeding. --- ### Fred Sanford — Tue Jun 29, 2004 9:54 am TISH MEIN ABER SHMINKEY!!! _________________ Oh! Liz'beth! I'm comin to join ya, honey!
