Official Laker-Hater Championship thread. Whining encouraged!! - Page 13

Leave it to the JailBlazers to tank their game against the lowly Clippers to avoid meeting the San Antonio Spurs in their bracket.

Leave it to the 3-Time Champs to exude class by whomping up on the lowly Warriors to secure the #5 seed and eventually match-up with the Spurs in the next round.

That "whoosh" you hear is from the Cowtown Euros as they get a cakewalk to the Western Finals by playing the Utah Greybeards and then the defenseless Cuban Cigars.

The Staples Crew will EASILY dispatch those toothless T-Cubs before a BIG match-up against the Boot Accessorizors. This will be a huge test for the Champs but they will eventually prevail before the long awaited match-up with the Farmers.

Once past the Spurs, the Lakers will throttle the Kings and send that franchise reeling. Rumor has it that Brittney Spears is already scoping out Mark Madsen for a date to the NBA Finals.

Unlike the Detroit Red Wings complete choke job in this years NHL Finals, the Big Aristolte has his crew all primed for a Quatro.

Long live the Lakers dynasty and their loyal fans.

Long live the venomous hatred of those unfortunate souls who continue to slander this great organization.

As Kobe said tonight in the post game interview;

"It's time to dance, baby!"

I love that picture. The expressions on the faces of the Queens is priceless.

California Injun · 04-30-2003, 11:11 PM

Anybody wishing that the Kings/Jazz series was only 5 games? Talk about a lop-sided mismatch. What is great about this "bye" for the Kings is that they won't face any pressure until the Lake Show pounds them in Game #1 of the Conference Finals.

Looks like the JailBlazers are making it interesting for the Cuban Cigars by forcing a Game #6 in Portland. How sweet would it be to see the Kings match up with a veteran team versus those pansy Mavs that have no defense.

Might a well call my shot for Game #6 (like the Game #5 shout out earlier) tomorrow as the 3-Time Champs send the hapless Cubs home AGAIN in the first round.

Has anybody told Wally Z that the play-offs are here?

Looks like Hudson came back to Earth with his 14 point average in Game #5.

The Lakers have finally figured out that press and should benefit from this experience in later rounds. Just another wrinkle that was ironed out by the Zenmaster.

Bring on those Boot Accessorizors....... or will it be the Suns?????

AJKCFAN · 04-30-2003, 11:58 PM

Am I happy the Kings advanced tonight?

Yes and no.... really, I'm serious.

Yes, because it was nice to put a team away and advance, which for this series was inevitable..

No, because once again the refs really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really SUCK!!!!

This game was over 5 minutes into the game when a ref decides to place himself over the game, making himself a difference in the game, as opposed to an opposing player when he ejected Ostertag. You could say the ref who ejected Ostertag did the Jazz in more than any King (not to slight Bobby Jackson, Peja, or even Divac setting the tone early)

It was over.

Right then and there.

I'd have much rather won this game by playing a desperate Jazz team, giving their all.

After Ostertag (who had a very impressive series, possibly the Jazz MVP of the series) got bounced, the Jazz were not just desperate. They were toothless inside. Shorthanded. Outmanned. Call it what you will.

Thanks a lot, ref.

Once again, you put yourself in a position to decide a game's (in this case season's) outcome because it was about being in the spotlight, at the expense of a team.

Seeing Ostertag's ejection sequence. He was called for a tacky foul on Divac and complained. Was it a strong protest? Yes. Enough to get a T? Debatable, but highly doubtful.

But the ref had an itchy trigger finger.

So Ostertag gets slapped with a T.

Ostertag has to stay cool, I realize that, but he has the right to be upset with getting a T... and the ref MUST walk away to avoid a continuation of the tension.

So Ostertag mouths off and gets ejected from a playoff game in the 1st quarter, not even 2 seconds after getting the original T.

I'm sorry. But that is just plain wrong.

The Jazz never had a chance afterwards. They should have been able to find out for themselves if they were going to have a chance this game with a full squad.

So I'm happy the Kings get to advance, but I know a raw deal when I see it.... and have the SAC to publicly acknowledge it, even if it favors my team.....

BIG_DADDY · 05-01-2003, 11:00 AM

AJKCFAN,

Funny thing is the only bad officiating noticed on this BB is when it benefits the Lakers. There were several games that clearly benefited other teams including the Spurs last game as well as the Nets. Thanks for mentioning the fact that the Queens totally benefited from the removal of Ostertag. Most Queens fans always make themselves out to be the victims (Vladesyndrome). Since it was probably Stocktons & Malones last game it would have been nice to let them go down swinging instead of taking the game away from them like that.

**Rausch** · 05-01-2003, 11:02 AM

I'm glad I don't give a fart in high wind about NBA ball any longer, because being a Jazz fan, and watching parts of game 1 and 2 of that series made me want to

**RealSNR** · 05-01-2003, 11:15 AM

Interesting game tonight. Looks bleak for my Wolves. At least they made the Lakers sweat for a bit there.

Here's hoping whoever the Lakers play next will repeat what Minnesota did only with more success

BIG_DADDY · 05-01-2003, 12:36 PM

SNR,

Your T-Wolves played a good series and would have beat a lot of teams if they had not drawn the Lakers. Good luck in the future as you have the basis for a very good team there in the future.

I'm really excited about Hudson next year. There's some issue to whether KG will stay in Minny or not. He got his money last time, and I'm hoping he thinks that Minnesota can be a very good team in the near future.

I'll be cheering for the Lakers the rest of the way now. Phil Jackson is a former Fighting Sioux.

BIG_DADDY · 05-01-2003, 05:02 PM

SNR,

Lakers need George to step up on both sides of the ball and need to bring their best game from here on. If they do that they should be in control of their own destiny. I know the Queens fans are very high on a good team this year but they don't have to play anyone in the playoffs until they meet the Lakers so I guess we will see how good they really are then. They certainly had a swagger in that last game but that's not too hard when your playing the grey beards minus Ostertag.

Chiefs Pantalones · 05-01-2003, 11:59 PM

Lakers win the series 4-2.

Who do you guys like in the next matchup...San Antonio or LA?

2bikemike · 05-02-2003, 12:29 AM

I like the Lakers to win against SA. I really thought they would sweep Minnesota. It seems that the Lakers are a Jekyl and Hyde team. I guess everybody has off nights.

If Kobe and Shaq play like they did tonight, it'll be tough for anyone to beat the Lakers. Tim Duncan is playing as well as he ever has, and he'll really have to step up if he wants to give the Spurs a chance to win it. If Duncan doesn't back down this could be one heck of a series, but the Spurs have to get over this problem they've had of just folding up the tent every year when the Lakers come calling.

I've got a funny feeling about the Spurs, Oprah...

BIG_DADDY · 05-02-2003, 08:08 AM

LA should beat San Antonio but they have to bring their best game every night. San Antonio swept the series but Shaq was only in two of those games and a gimp in one of the others. These Lakers are different than anything the Spurs have faced all year. I expect a very physical series with the LAkers winning in 6.
