Nets are dumb

[-King-]

They haven't taken one good shot since they tied the game.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Damn. Oh well. At least made them work for it.

[dirk digler]

The Nets had this game and pissed it down their leg.

I will add I thought DWill was supposed to be a stud PG. To me he is anything but. I think he is horribly overrated.

How cute, apparently Portland just realized that the 2nd round has started.

This. They should have called a time out before Bosh hit that three. Every single offensive possession they had after they tied the game was flat out terrible.

So not unlike most Heat games.

He was a stud PG...about five years ago. Now he's a tubby shell of his former self.

Not a coincidence that it happened after the series was basically over. The Spurs don't need this game and they're playing like it so far.

Thats crazy! I guess everyone loves the Lakers, or just loves to see them lose either way. Thats called ruling the sport.

Why are there so many Lakers fans in Ontario?

I would say bandwagon fans, but the Lakers are either first 2nd or 3rd in just about EVERY region in the USA and Canadia

They're first in much of Canada, it seems. Tells me the Raptors still have a long way to go to become a national brand.

Yep. They went almost the final 5 minutes with no points. Just absolutely horrible decisions, especially Joe Johnson trying to back down Lebron twice.

Where i live in Nor Cal, its the Lakers are 44 percent, the Bulls in second and Warriors at 3rd. insane.

I would think the Thunder would have a larger following in the midwest.
