Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

My thoughts on game 3-I just have to say,these are the worst refereed finals games ever.And i'm not looking threw hater or fan glasses.As i'm saying it's bad calls or non calls for both teams.There is no excuse for this and the league should be embarrassed that this is going on in thier league championship.As far as the game goes,i think it pretty much played out like the other 2 games.The difference being that orlando shots were going in,like thier coach said.I think the game plans were the same as the other games.The exacution however was'nt the same for the lakers and kobe for sure.He usually is the one you can count on at the end of the game to come up big and hit the big shots and make the big plays and he did'nt in this game.And i think the lakers bench isn't playing like they did in that first game.But i expected orlando to win at least 2 out of the 3 games.And i think if orlando wins game 4,thisis going to very interesting and makes game 5 the most important game.Because the lakers have to win at least one of the these game there.

My thoughts on game 4-I just have to say to those lakers haters(van gundy,mark jackson etc),as i know they all will be bringing up that nelson got elbowed by kobe.I'm sorry but never mind the fact that there was a lopsided 18-0 free throws in the 4th quarter advantage(inexcusable to have that much bias for one team)for the magic.But to me, where is kobe suppose to do when nelson runs and puts his chin right where his elbow is.It was like in the 2002 final vs the 76ers when matumbo(sp?)would put his chin right under shaq's elbow.How is he suppose to play when you put your face right on him.Again to me,it looked like nelson ran into the elbow.Now if he was just standing there guarding him and then kobe came up with the elbow,then i can understand calling a foul.But anyway,the story of this finals,is the ref's continue to blow the finals.And it did'nt get any better in this game.And i'm saying that about calls and non calls about both teams.Big win for the lakers, and that fischer sure has proven to be a clutch shooter in his career.I am not sure what all the hype is about howard,as he gets most of his points on the free throw lane.I have never really seen him play.But i am not impressed by him.Now granted this is just one series.But i thought he was more a active player,but he is just another tree center.And that being said,it's not that tough to block shots when you are planted under the basket.And bricking those 2 crucial free throws is something you can't do if you want to be at the level the media sure seems to put him.Is he the best player on his team,yeah maybe.But is he in among the top 5 or even 10 players in the league playing right now,not even close to it.I just don't think he is deserving of the hype he gets from the media and sports talk people.I'm not hating,he's good ,just not that good.And please someone tell those announcers,that it's 2-3-2,meaning game 6 is in los angeles,and not in orlando like the idiot said in the first quarter of the game.And i think it's funny that those other two puppets did'nt correct him.Best way to listen to the game?With the sound down,but thats with all sports.I just think it's funny,when they talk about things that have nothing to do with what's going on in the game.But that's just me,as i don't really care when van gundy and mark jackson played.I'm sorry,but i just think the finals should about the teams and players playing it,and not the people announcing it.I still hold firm to my lakers in 6,as i think the magic will win game 6 and bring it back to los angeles.And will win it there.

Is that why noone is playing with me here.You guys got your own game going.I started this thread as it says the finals.Thinking we could use it as like the official finals thread.Because that other thread was started in like the utah series,so i thought one that said nba finals would be better.But that's fine,i'll just have my very own thread(blog) i guess.Well have fun over there.i just can't abandon my own thread,that would be funny.

Kobe is amazing me with his passing skills. He is moving up to Jordaneesque level.

Please, for god sake be careful about the words you utter. We all know that Jordan attained God status at some point in his post playing career and try as they might, nobody will ever be even in the same league as he was.

All the Jordanites out there will crucify you for such blasphemy!

Not at all. We just got caught up in the other thread. I'd just prefer if we stick to one, only because it is easier to follow ... I don't care which one it is.

Very excited for the game tonight, though I think it is complete BS that Pietrus wasn't suspended. I am not a die-hard Lakers fan by any stretch of the imagination, and would be perfectly happy to see the Magic take the whole thing ... but failing to suspend Pietrus is simply wrong.

You know Reid, I changed my tune on that one the more I watched it. That was a horrible call. How he was not immediately thrown out of the game and subsequently suspended is beyond me.

I also cannot wait for the game. Just in case I already have my sledgehammer and lighter fluid, matches etc. poised just in case the Lakers win. I figure it is time to burn down the town even if I am 3000 miles east of LA

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

los angeles lakers 2009 nba world champions-YES!!!!!....Man that sounds great.I am so happy for kobe and fischer and phil.It took awhile but kobe finally got a ring without shaquille o'neal,how do you like me now big man.I am happy that fischer came back to the lakers and was able to get this ring.Those two have had thier ups and downs and derserve this.And phil jackson being able now to own the recored all to himself.Well that's just the icing on this ring cake.On a side note-i loved the hat the wore after the game.Too bad you can't buy that as his kids made that for him.I did think the championship hats were boring looking.With all that kobe has been threw,i sure am happy for him the most.They sure proved by winning 4 games to 1 (and two in orlando)that they are indeed the better team.And the the best team won and without a doubt.Even though i'm sure the haters will find them.But i'm not going to let them bring me down and ruin my happiness for the lakers winning the championship.And i congratulate the whole laker team for this championship.As you guys did this as a team.Way to go guys

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Not sure which Playoff/Finals thread we are using tonight ... congrats to Kobe and the Lakers. Perhaps Shaq will shut up for a short while now. I will say that this was one of the most anti-climactic Finals I can remember. To be up by 15 points that early in the game, when you are up 3-1 in the series, is just not exciting. Nike and the NBA must be disappointed. They were counting on a competitive 6- or 7-game series between LBJ and Kobe. The Lakers looked so dominant ... the Magic were simply not a worthy component.

Well said Reid, the Lakers need to find a way to bring back Odem and Ariza. I would love to see the Celtics at full strength and the Lakers at full strength to see if we can get a rematch of last years finals next year. That being said, I am sure an exhausted Kobe will get some well deserved rest and not go back to the gym until Tuesday at the earliest lol.

Congratulations to the Lakers, I honestly felt that this team despite the ups and downs earlier in the playoffs particularly in that Houston series and game 2 in the Western Finals against Denver, that this team just would not be denied. Kobe really really wanted this thing bad. They brought it in the finals and the results show that.
