| NBA question |
| 06.16.04 (9:27 am) [edit] |
Is this the first time an NBA team won a championship series 5 games to 0? Seriously, the game that the Lakers 'won' happened to be in the hands of the Pistions. They foul Shaq in the lane with 5 seconds left and Kobe never sees the chance to hit the game tying 3-pointer at the buzzer...no overtime. That game was in Detroit's bag. The Pistions won all 5 games, but just happened to come out with more points in 4 of the games.
I'm quite pleased that the Lakers did not win the title. Just goes to show it is not about individuals. Not about Shaq or the non-man Kobe. Karl finally got what was coming to him: years of causing other players injuries got the attention of the Karma Police as he was clearly ineffective in the finals. And Payton....what a joke. Trying to hitch a ride with the Lakers and get a title for free without playing as well as Fisher the entire year. Poor Fisher. Vindication will come his way. Break up the Lakers. Kobe will be in prison and Shaq a free agent after 1 more year in purple and gold. NBA needs this team to dismantle, for parity breeds interest in the NBA by the masses, not just a few spoiled cities.

here is a comment I sent to another tblog member when they claimed that Karls injury was an excuse for losing:
Just like the radio stations out here, it sounds like you are not giving credit to the better team. Detroit won 5 games to 0, and was outscored in 4. I personally have a history of rooting for the West. Could not do it this year. Enjoy the fact that the Lakers made the finals. It was a tough run (Rockets matched up well against them), but also, remember that the first of the 3 Laker titles was won when Duncan was hurt and could not defend his title. If you still want to bring up injuries, then I could use the same thing saying Dirk went down vs. Spurs last year in West finals and Mavs should have won. Injuries are not excuses. Good teams are deep and have backup players who fill in. Good luck in '05
