Guest OraleHolmes Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I guess you're somewhat correct on this, Ripper. For instance, I doubt Fisher can fart in 0.4 seconds, let alone catch the ball, turn, and shoot the ball over his shoulder. Yeah, that does seem like a bit much for 0.4 seconds. BUT...the point is moot because L.A. should've had 0.8 seconds, and if anyone should be protesting, it's the Lakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Is Sprewell still alive? I've heard nothing about him in this series. He is Latrell Sprewell. He can give you 30 on one night and 6 the next. Thats what he does. He has had some good games and some others he just wasn't there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I remember a week ago everyone counting out the Lakers.....now everyone's counting out the Spurs. This series is going to the wire in Game 7. No way the Spurs embarass themselves and lose 4 straight. They're taking it to a Game 7. If they don't though.....I pray that SAC or the T-Wolves whip the shit out of them in the finals. I don't think I could stand the Lakers winning the title this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I seriously can't blame T-Mac and others for being afraid to go...The Gold Medal isn't what they play this game for...they play to win the NBA TITLE. I still think USA ought to bring back the College Players format and get rid of the PRO PLAYERS crap...I always believed using professional players stains the intergrity. Figure Staking only allows Amaturs...why can't the Basketball and the other sports do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way the Spurs embarass themselves and lose 4 straight. They're taking it to a Game 7. I completely agree. The way LA has been this year, I wouldn't be surprise if they go into game 6 thinking their hot shit again only to lose. If there's going to be a team who wins an elimination game -- on the road, for that matter -- it'll be the Spurs. I'm sure Pop is breaking out Rudy T's "Never underestimate the heart of a champion" quote. Once LA won games 3 & 4 there was no doubt in my mind the series was going seven, and I still believe that. Of course I thought SA would win game 5, with LA taking game 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 15, 2004 This last OT favors NJ unfortunatly, with Rip, Big Ben, and Rasheed ALL FOULED OUT. (after the last two finals, I cant believe ANYBODY would want NJ to wni) Well, it looks like NJ has this game wrapped up, but I don't care who wins this series. I just hope that whichever team wins this series ends up losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. I wouldn't mind seeing Minnesota come out of the West either. Indiana Vs. Minnesota in the NBA Finals would be pretty swank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Indiana Vs. Minnesota in the NBA Finals would be pretty swank. It's gonna be pretty unwatched too. But then again so will any non-Mavericks, non-Lakers final in this year's NBA. Geez. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Indy/Minn would draw more then SA/NJ did. Marginally. The biggest draw right now would be LA/Det. (two big markets and big names)...the low draw would be SA/Miami. However...This game was just fantastic. Amazing. for once the game every other day schedule will be worthwhile(for the tired players...and fans) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Ugh. New Jersey won. It was inevitable come 3rd OT though, I mean Darvin Ham, Linsey hunter, and James (who is good) weren't gonna win it. Please take this to 7 Detroit, PLEASE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Non-Mavericks? And, oh yeah: fuck this game! Detroit and New Jersey are collectively giving Kings and Timberwolves fans around the country the middle finger... Shut Up. Triple OT games are rare. It's worth missing the first half of the game. If it was on ESPN...They would have sent TWOLVES/Kings to ESPN2. TNT doesn't have that option.

Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted May 15, 2004 AMAZING game. Its a shame my team lost like that though. Brown, I don't know what he was thinking. He could have easily had Memo in there, but decided to put Darvin in. BIG MISTAKE. He doesn't draw fouls...he doesn't lay up, he doesn't make jump shots...all he does is dunk. Damn, that was a heartbreaker. Anyways, Billups is the man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
