Come on Lakers, finish 'em already.

 

[Docker2.0]

Remember Odom swung his fist at himself and got a tech 2 games ago? Or how Perkins yelled at himself and was given a tech? So why is Kobe allowed to jump up and down and say whatever he wants to and nothing is said to him?

 

[Ben Urich]

Lakers up 7 with 5 minutes to play.

 

[Bond]

Kobe is so good at closing games that it's ridiculous. He's an fng.

 

[Mister J]

Dammit. This is Chris Wallace's fault. ****ing idiot.

 

[Bond]

Lakers are going to the Finals! **** ya!!

GO DIE SPURS

 

[Ben Urich]

lol @ Vujacic launching that three at the buzzer... and swishing it.

If he did that against the Magic, I'd want somebody to run out there and club him. But he did it to the Spurs, so I'm cool with it.

 

[CrypticOne]

Lakers did it, huh?

 

[Immortalfire]

Damn

I suppose now like a certain unnamed Hype sports fan, I should post pics of the Spurs and all their trophies and proclaim how the Lakers are morons.

Blah, in spite of their butt ugly uniforms and star rapist..erm, player, I've got no beef with LA. They simply outplayed SA. And these days, that ain't easy to do. Congrats

Who did that?? was it me???

Sorry Fire(that it had to come at your expense)... i gained a HELLA of alot of RESPECT for the Spurs this year... i mean ALOT...



for the Lakers fans here....

dont cheer... dont celebrate.. aint nothing changed but the date.... business isnt finished... we got four more wins left...

lets get the game faces back on!




also I'F.. i take offense to the butt ugly uniforms comment.. i think our uniforms are the coolest in the league.. im biased... but even if i try to be objective... they still come out pretty damn cool

 

[Jspider13]

no more 'inside the nba'



now its medicore abc coverage.

I sincerely hope the Lakers get *****slapped by Detroit or Boston. From the looks of things it appears that it'll be Los Angeles/Boston for old times sake.

I had a feeling San Antonio would lose as coming back from a 3-1 deficit is no easy task obviously and they dug themselves into a hole they couldn't get out of. Thus is the tale of the Spurs who win a championship, lose the next year, and probably win next year. Fact of the matter is they ran into a team that was younger, athletic, and quicker than they were and they couldn't keep up. While I do believe the league has managed to manipulate certain aspects of the game to guarantee a Boston/Los Angeles championship confrontation, it doesn't change the fact that the Spurs, much like Dallas, are sucumbing to defeat against the younger, quicker, and athletic teams.

Both clubs will have to make some necessary changes to their roster and get younger as well.

If Kobe wins a championship this year his ego will be huge and I just hate seeing him win. He's one of those guys who has this chip on his shoulders and he thinks he's better than everyone else.

And as for the Laker fans? I guess Rekal and his bandwagon buddies will be claiming themselves as true Laker fans, that is, until they either lose to Boston or Detroit.

Wow, Immortal Fire must be a spurs fan

Edit: Now Lastsunrise coming in here with his classless comments. Its too bad people cant be more gracious in defeat like there team is.

Because the league favors superstars and will give them special treatment. It's a sad state of affairs when the NBA is compared to the likes of professional wrestling. I'm really starting to question why more information about the official betting/miscalling games haven't been released?

Guys like Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Lebron, and Reggie Miller were/are the masters at getting special calls.

 

[DarthRekal]

also Fire... on behalf of Lakers fans.. i apologize for the boo'ing at the end... totally classless...


and i applaud the Spurs now for you... they were VERY gracious in defeat and deserve a CHAMPIONS exit

 

[DarthRekal]

tell me about it.. they should just hand the contract over to TNT..

I'm not a Spurs fan. I just absolutely hate the Lakers and their fanbase honestly. They're a cocky bunch that has never had to experience hardships like Sacramento, Dallas, Atlanta, or even New Orleans. Your franchise has had the fortune of having a GM who has made great smart picks and your never watched your team suffer in the basement.

I view you much like I view all current Laker fans as bandwagoners who hopped on the next big thing honestly. Obviously the Lakers won the series and they dethroned the defending champs, but it doesn't mean they should get my congratulations. Where was the congratulations from you and the rest of the forum when Dallas made it to the Finals? I remember A LOT of classless comments from you, Rekal, Jerry, and several others talking about our fanbase, talking about our team, and saying we didn't deserve to be where we are.

As for the no more Inside The NBA coverage? Good. I can't stand what that panel as become instead of talking intelligently about basketball they joke around like morons and cut each other down. I don't watch Inside The NBA for bad jokes, I watch it for interesting basketball discussion and intelligence with the panel.

My favorites have always been the NBA Shootaround crew who provide interesting analysis, debates, and etc. Tim Legler, Greg Anthony, Bill Walton(obviously he'll know the game better than most), and Bill Saunders are great basketball minds who showcase great knowledge of the game.
