Bruiser Chong Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Watching those NBA Finals games with the Bulls on ESPN Classic yesterday just reminded me how poorly most guys shoot today. And maybe I'm in the wrong, but how can you justify being such a terrible freethrow shooter when you're being paid millions? I thought it was funny how Doc Rivers was mentioning how nobody ever talks about Ben Wallace's poor freethrow shooting, unlike Shaq. It's because Wallace isn't known at all for his offense, where as Shaq is regarded as one of the greatest offensive players of all time.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I hate games when either team can decide what style to play...because it just leads to sloppiness.
The Electrifyer Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Ben Wallace should never... EVER touch the ball on offense.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I haven't paid attention to the commentary (on mute right now for no reason) but has Al done a "JR" with the Wallaces?
razazteca Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Ben Wallace should never... EVER touch the ball on offense. Ben is Dennis Rodman with cornrows/afro.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 me and a friend have a little wager going on "Who will turn into the next rodman?" Meaning the Rodman we all know and "love"... Ben Wallace or Kenyon Martin?
razazteca Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Rasheed Wallace is the media favorite for sound bytes. "Both teams play hard" and "We will win the next game" are phrases imbeded in everybody's minds now.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Don't forget, "God bless and good night."
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I still have Game Three...11.4 Seconds left...tie game at 84 and Malone elbows Sheed in the face and THAT is when Sheed FINALLY blows. Rasheed will get fined 50,000 and suspended for life and Malone gets 2500 fine.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 This game is starting to heat up.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I wonder how America is coping with the low score... I also want to predict that this series will Trump what Duncan and Kidd grew last year (which was like 9.0)...With Kobe's high profile year and four big names and MUCH bigger market in Detroit and more appealing names like Wallaces...It should get back the levels the Lakers drew with the Pacers and Sixers.
bobobrazil1984 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 ^ as long as both teams are around the same score, I'm fine with it. When one team's getting blown out, that's when it becomes unpleasant. (ok, when the pistons are getting blown out, that's when it becomes unpleasant for me )
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 It just dawned on me that Larry Brown was the coach of Detroit... when was the last time a name like Larry Brown was a afterthought in the hype of a series?
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I'm waiting for the inevitable LA run.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I'm waiting for the inevitable *david stern call to the ref* run.
Damaramu Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I hate LA and even I didn't think this would be happening. Of course watch them go on a 14-0 run with 5 minutes left.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 It's way too early for Detroit to get cocky...
The Electrifyer Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I'm waiting for the inevitable *david stern call to the ref* run. I honestly thought Detroit would be fucked over by the refs, especially with Rasheed on there team.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 I wonder how America is coping with the low score... I also want to predict that this series will Trump what Duncan and Kidd grew last year (which was like 9.0)...With Kobe's high profile year and four big names and MUCH bigger market in Detroit and more appealing names like Wallaces...It should get back the levels the Lakers drew with the Pacers and Sixers. Actually the Finals averaged a 6.5 last year, which was the lowest ever for live telecasts
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Pistons are building a nice lead here with Shaq on the bench. They have a good shot at winning this if they can continue to capitalize with Shaq out of there. Now the Lakers have to score and play defense to get back in this while the Pistons on ly have to do one of the two.
razazteca Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 LA has to lose one game so they can win the series at home. Its all part of the master plan.
Damaramu Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 It's way too early for Detroit to get cocky... They'd better not. If I was Larry Brown that's what I'd be telling them right now. I'd tell them to play like the game is even and they need to pull away.
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 even if Detroit manages to hold this... This is Espn's anyalsis "We've seen this before folks! A.I and Sixers with Brown won the first game but the Dominant lakers just steamrolled them in 4 straight...It's same thing here folks! Jordan! Bonds! Yay! BOOYEAH!"
Guest Choken One Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 It's way too early for Detroit to get cocky... They'd better not. If I was Larry Brown that's what I'd be telling them right now. I'd tell them to play like the game is even and they need to pull away. Well when they went to break...The bench players were wooting it up...hopefully Larry threw it down on 'em.
Damaramu Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Lakers are starting the comeback and Brown knows it. He's over there giving his men an earful.
razazteca Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Tayshaun Prince needs to have a huge game inorder for the Pistons to hold on to the lead.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Watching the Pistons play just reminds me of how stupid the Wizards are (Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace and Rip Hamilton were once Wizards..)
