Other Sports Lakers will win the world champioship again. - Page 56

Anyone wanna bet on another team?

I have to say that the Lakers having won 10 straight seem to be better than any of the last championship teams. Not only that but they are relaxed and having fun like none of the other teams ever have. It's weird watching Kobe joking with Shaq and Carl and Payton. The confidence is just oozing out of their pours. It's like they already know they have won it all. The D is playing great. Offensive boards are off the scale. This team has just beginning to gel and they are already unbeatable IMO. The only thing that can stop them now is a major injury or two.

The Spurs enjoyed their usual huge free throw attempt advantage. That's why I laugh at those on talk radio this morning claiming NBA conspiracy to get an LA-Boston final through the refs. Please. SA would have been blown out if not for fouls called.

Kobe doesn't always think straight under pressure.

D-Fish's shot definetely hit the rim but I couldn't tell until replays. Could you?
IMO that is just one of the breaks of the game.

If they would have "let it go" in LA it would have gotten twice the press it's getting now.

Oh no doubt.
Although I honestly think most people outside of SA realized that LA deserved to win that game last night. If an officiating gaff at the end sealed the victory that is just poetic justice.

I thought it hit the rim for sure because of the path of the ball.

Good eye. Phil didn't seem to make a big deal out of it.

I thought the Lakers were definately the better team in this game so it went the way it should.

I have to admit that Celtics/Pistons series has got my eye. I think Detroit really has a chance to win but with as much talent as the Celtics have on their team it will be their play that decides the series.

Speaking of Fisher here is a memory for Deberg.

Definitely the Lakers deserved the win, but I was getting nervous. I hope they don't let down tomorrow night, because that's a game they could certainly play down to their opponent.

I think it is going to be a wrap.

The Spurs don't fold. LA is not superior to them such that they can afford to assume a win. If they **** around the Spurs can still win this series.

No doubt. Phil will have them ready to rock.

That's exactly what I'm concerned about. I fear the Lakers will assume a win.

He's not being a homer. He's being honest. Thats the difference between the Lakers and the Chiefs. Lakers are expected to do great things. Thats been the history of the franchise. Chiefs just hope to make the play offs. lol

I didn't see the whole game so I'm not going to comment on the first 3 and a half quarters. I did, however, see the last few minutes. IMO, that was a foul at the end and it should have been called. A foul is a foul. I don't agree with the mind set that the refs should not decide the game in this instance. If you really think about it, the refs did decide the game by not calling what was a sure foul in my mind.

That being said, it doesn't really bother me that much since I have seen the Spurs as the benefactor of questionable officiating many times. I guess what goes around comes around. Frankly, I don't care for either team. I just hope Boston gets there and wins the whole thing. I will say that I think the Lakers are definitely more fun to watch than the Spurs.
