At least the championship game was decided in a decently-officiated game (by NBA standards.) Because you know ol' Dick was right around the corner in game 7.

I liked this series, too, but not for the same reasons. I got Game 7 on tape as part of the Finals marathon, and I still can't help but smile a bit with every brick that Starks launches.

This could be Jermaine holding this trophy, if Artest hadn't flaked out. *sigh*

Well obviously if you're only losing one of them, then you've got to do it. Chances are though, that Minnesota would ask for two of the three, along with probably a random bench player and a draft pick(s).

Getting KG will also necessitate shipping off Carter and/or Jefferson. And Jason Kidd can't play forever, either.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I also enjoyed last year's finals better. I really hate to keep harping on it, but the referees really took me out of this one, although Dwyane Wade was fantastic, no matter how you spin it.

Jason Terry should be the MVP.

FUCK Jason Terry. Right in his ass. He shot about 20%, yet he has to take all the clutch shots. You just cost me $20. Go back to Atlanta, motherfucker.

Pending a reply from EWC on a couple guys, I've got the field set.

Akeem and Bossman were the Twin Towers. Sid and Dan Spivey were the Skyscrapers, then UT replaced Sid in the team later on.

Dirk got fined 5K for kicking the ball into the stands.

Alf pulls himself up in his corner, as he waits out the break, and Reject pulls himself to his feet. *DING DING DING* COLE Time for the second fall! Reject approaches Alf, who quickly takes Reject over with an armdrag! Alf then hammerlocks it on the mat, and drops knees on it. COACH Why do these guys only get 30 seconds to rest? Reject obviously wasn't ready to go yet! COLE Those are the rules, and Reject had better get ready in a hurry, or else Alf's going to pull the clean sweep here! Reject works his way to his feet, and drives an elbow right to the face of Alf! He then backs into the ropes, and shoulderchecks Alf to the mat! Reject then runs to the ropes, and Alf drops down, then leapfrogs, then drops down again to send Reject across the ring with a reverse monkey flip! Alf then gets up, backs into the ropes, and clotheslines Reject to the floor! COLE Nice recovery by Alf, and Reject reeling once again! Alf follows Reject to the outside, and tosses him back in, then scoops him in a small package! 1... 2... Kickout! Alf quickly clotheslines Reject to the mat, then delivers a snap legdrop! Alf then reapplies the armbar, but Reject uses the hair to drag Alf into the ropes. Alf reverses an Irish whip, then leapfrogs Reject, but Reject catches him with a spinning wheel kick! COACH There we go, baby! Reject gets up slowly, then stomps away at Alf, until Alf falls off the apron and to the floor. Reject follows, and rams Alf's head into the steel steps! He then throws Alf back into the ring, and delivers a backbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject whips Alf into the ropes, and hooks a sleeperhold! COACH Nighty-night, Alf! Alf walks around the ring, trying to escape, but eventually fades right in the middle of it. Alf slowly sinks to one knee, then to both. Reject pulls him to the mat, where the referee raises the arm... ONE!!! TWO!!! THR...NO! Alf holds through on the final lift! COLE And Alf still able to hang in there! Alf fights to his feet, and delivers an elbow to the midsection! Then another! A third, breaking the hold! Alf goes to the ropes, and ducks a clothesline, but Reject catches him with a HURRICANRANA~! COACH Oh yeah! Great recovery! COLE Spectacular move by Reject! Cover... 1... 2... Alf kicks out! Reject goes to the top rope, and comes off with a flying bodypress! ...but Alf rolls through and comes out on top! 1... 2... Kickout! Reject quickly delivers a kick to the back of Alf, then drops a knee to it. Reject goes into the ropes, and knocks Alf off the apron to the floor with a baseball slide! COLE And Reject in control once again! Reject celebrates in the ring, getting the boos of the crowd in return. Alf climbs up onto the apron, where Reject attempts to suplex him back in. But Alf slides over the back, and executes a reverse sunset flip! 1... 2... Kickout! Reject gets up and lands a savate kick, then comes off the ropes with a swinging neckbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE And Alf once again kicks out! COACH How do you keep this guy down? Reject lands a European uppercut, then follows with a gutwrench suplex. Reject then goes to the top rope. COLE And Reject up top once again! Reject sizes Alf up, and comes off for a LEGDROP...but Alf rolls out of the way! COLE That may have forced a third fall had it connected, but Alf out of the way JUST in time! The referee starts a count... ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!! FOUR!!! FIVE!!! SIX!!! SEVEN!!! EIGHT!!! Reject gets to his feet first, and goes for a suplex. However, Alf blocks, and delivers one of his own! Reject begs off in the corner, and when Alf follows him in, delivers a LOW BLOW~! COLE And a blatant low blow by Reject, he could have cost himself the match right there, but the referee's letting it go! Just as long as it's consistent... Alf falls back to the mat, then Reject grabs a leg and applies a figure-four! COLE And now it's Reject with a submission hold! Alf tries to fight it, but lays back. 1... 2... Alf sits up! Alf reaches for Reject, who cinches in on the hold, causing Alf to lay back once again. 1... 2... Alf sits up again! This time, Alf turns to his left when he sits up, and starts to reverse the hold! COLE And Alf's turning this thing around! Alf manages to turn it all the way over! Reject fights it for a few seconds, then rolls again to the ropes, and the hold is broken. Both men are limping around the ring, and Alf goes into a corner. Reject charges, but is met with two feet to the face! Alf then grabs the legs and flips over... 1... 2... NO! Reject kicks out! Reject goes to the eyes of Alf. COACH And look at Reject come right back! What tenacity! He's going to make a great champion, Cole! Reject whips Alf to the ropes, and attempts a TILT-A-WHIRL, but Alf spins through to his feet, and scoops Reject up for a TOMBSTONE~! COLE Tombstone coming up, perhaps! Reject kicks his legs, and reverses! However, Alf flips over once more, and completes the move, drilling Reject into the mat! COACH Oh, man, this could be it. :( Alf covers... 1... 2... NO!!! Reject gets a shoulder up! Alf goes to pick up Reject, and Reject again goes to the eyes! COACH And AGAIN, Reject comes back! When Alf regains his senses, Reject goes for a foot to the gut, but Alf catches it. Reject goes for an enziguri, but Alf ducks, and while still holding onto Reject's foot, kicks him right between the legs, prompting an audible groan from the audience. Alf keeps his foot there for a second, as the camera pans in on Reject's wide-eyed, pained face, then lets him fall to the mat. COACH Come ON, what about a DQ there? COLE Turnabout is fair play, Coach! Alf was just returning the favor from earlier! Alf smiles at Reject down on the mat, then picks him up and sets him on the top turnbuckle. Alf follows Reject, climbing up to the top rope, and pulling Reject up, taking him off with a SUPERPLEX~! COLE And Alf with the superplex! Cover... 1... 2... NO!!! Reject kicks out again! Alf waits on Reject to get up, and hooks a small package! 1... 2... NO! Kickout! Alf then hooks Reject from behind for a backslide, but Reject blocks with the rope, then spins out...and drops Alf with the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COACH YEAH! COLE Reject with the EULOGY out of nowhere! Reject covers... 1... 2... 3!!! COACH ALL RIGHT! COLE And we're all tied up! Reject gets up slowly and raises his arms in the air, then makes the belt motion around his waist as the crowd boos. BUFFER [i]The winner of the second fall, evening the match at one fall apiece...RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!!!!![/i] COLE And one more fall, before we find out who will walk out of Baltimore the champion!

The result of the final fall will decide the championship. Once a fall is scored, there will be a 30-second rest period in between falls. Good luck. Ring the bell! *DING DING DING* COLE We're underway, and you heard the referee say that the winner of the final fall decides the championship, that means that Alf could get disqualified in one fall, but if Reject pins him or makes him submit in the next fall, Alf would lose the title! Alf and Reject stare each other down, then back off. They circle the ring, and tie up. Alf grabs a side headlock, but Reject grabs him by the hair and pulls him back into the ropes. Reject whips him across the ring, then leapfrogs him, and turns and hits him with a dropkick! COLE And a great dropkick by Reject! Reject celebrates his feat, drawing boos from the crowd. Alf gets to one knee, and stares at Reject briefly before getting up and approaching him again. They tie up once again, and Alf once again grabs a side headlock. This time, Reject attempts a back suplex, but Alf flips over the back, then goes to the ropes and floors Reject with a Hart Attack clothesline! COLE And Alf answers right back! Reject hops up, and Alf meets him with another clothesline! Reject then begs off in the corner, but Alf follows him in and lays in a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!

COACH And you said Baltimore didn't know how to count to ten, Cole! COLE No, I said *I* didnt... COACH What? COLE ... As Reject staggers out of the corner, Alf walks into it, then comes out with a BULLDOG~! He then delivers a snap legdrop, then gets on top of Reject and starts punching. COACH Come on ref, count him! COLE There's not going to be a disqualification here, Coach. Unlike the NBA, we allow the athletes to decide the matches! Alf picks up Reject and whips him hard into the corner, and Reject falls forward to the mat. COLE Alf on a roll here in the early going!

COLE And Alf with his back rammed right into the steel post! Reject gets into the ring, and waits on Alf.

COLE TREMENDOUS move by Reject! Reject plays to the crowd, drawing boos, and has some colorful discussions with some ringside fans.

BUFFER [i]The winner of the first fall...ALFDOGG!!!!![/i] *crowd cheers* COLE And now there will be a 30-second rest period before the second fall begins!

From Dallas Morning News I can see Dirk going Pedro in an interview with ESPN. "Who is Gary Payton?"

I wonder what zacalex would think of this. He knew three people who respected him on this board. They were Drury37, RetroRob215, and nWoscorpion.

I tried this tonight. Got to 4-2 with Luigi and 3-3 with the Princess.

So it was a foul, after all. Whether it should be one that could ultimately decide who wins the championship is the question now.

As an early teenager, my goal was to become a basketball analyst. Press conferences like that one reminded me why I'd never be able to do it. Great stuff from Avery.

And it's true that Dirk missed a FT, but he came back and hit what should have been the game-winner before the "foul". Dampier is a bad foul shooter anyway. That's kind of like blaming the Heat's losses on Shaq's FTs.

Outside of making the big shots, Wade didn't even have THAT good of a game. He was 11-28 from the field. When you shoot enough FTs for an entire team, of course you're going to be around 40 points. It wasn't exactly Jordan against the Celtics.

Dwyane Wade = 21-25 FTs Dallas Mavericks = 21-25 FTs How can you guys blame this on the refs? What the hell is wrong with you???

If this goes another overtime, Miami will win. Dallas will run out of bigs.

Haslem's done.
