Perhaps like Dallas did in their last Finals, Miami will use this to fire themselves up next time. Onlu it ain't gonna get any easier. These playoofs showed a lot of good up and coming teams (Chicago, OKC, Atlanta). That's twice LBK has been in and twice came up short. Hope his mental toughness is A-1 because the real heat is about to come on him.

Riley seems to like Spoelstra, too. Hopefully they'll both keep their jobs.
- Victor Ganata
Spoelstra may have been outcoached, but to be honest, the Mavs just outplayed the Heat, especially in the Fourth Quarter of EVERY game this series—this loss is on the players
- .LAG liked that
What gets me about this series was that by all accounts Miami played better than Dallas in 5 of the 6 games until crunch time in the fourth where unbelievably they just disappeared. That seemed to be one big mental mistake ... that not a one of them could get around. Maybe having too many stars is the wrong way to go as they ALL want to be the hero.
- blackChinahand
...it's how you finish that matters
- .LAG liked that
But they're not about to fire the players and there are some big named coaches out there looking for a job.
- blackChinahand
I guess good teams beat great stars.
- Victor Ganata
I think that is right.
- blackChinahand
On the other hand, if the Heat don't turn on themselves over this ... I say right now they are the favorites to win it next year
- blackChinahand
...LeBron and Bosh signed up for SIX years, trust me, the Heat will be back next year...look at the NBA Eastern Conference, yes, you have the Bulls, but who else? Celtics are too old, all the rest, including my Knicks, are missing a few pieces to become legit contenders
- .LAG liked that
One killer stat ... the Heat made only 13 of 33 FTs and let the Mavs score 27 points off of turnovers. That says it all. They were playing tight, tight, tight.
- blackChinahand
Lot of contracts expiring at the end of next season, though. Could be some owners are thinking trading before time is up could be worthwhile.
- Victor Ganata
...oh, yeah, let's not forget: there WILL be an NBA lockout before next season begins!
- .LAG liked that
Yeah, I wonder if there will even be a season at all.

I don't think humility is ever going to be part of his character, even after he showed the world that he's scared to have the ball in his hands in the 4th quarter in the finals.

Awesome game. Was just re-watching the last few minutes and LeBron's athleticism is unbelievable. Shawn Marion gets out on the open floor, LeBron's not only right there with him while running half-backwards, he jumps a fraction of a second after Marion and gets there and higher to challenge the shot.

Well .. if the big decision meant anything, this is the perfect set-up to show what it meant. Down 2 games but playing 2 in your home court. Subpar "team play" in 4th quarter from the two players that decided to go to South Beach. They'll either be heroes and set for multiple titles or dawgs struggling from under the pile of criticism that will come from every direction with doubts that they can win even one championship together. The heat is on ... they'll either melt or be forged into something stronger.
- blackChinahand
If Dallas wins, they, in my mind, would have shown the best total championship play since I started watching NBA Finals. Killer comeback, after Killer comeback. That's some awesome ballin' and proof that not only do you need a star(s) (read: Dirk No-miss-ki) but also some tough and veteran role players to win. Also if Dallas wins be prepared for a Mark Cuban PR offensive (which truly would be something to see)

The brawl, the trade demands and holdout, he plays good, hard D but he has a target on his back. He's a marked man in the eyes of officials. And I just think he's a liability. I'll think that until he proves me wrong but the Western Conference Semis furthered that. He got ejected two games in a row and even if he didn't deserve the second ejection, like I said, he's a marked man. He's a Sprewell. Exciting to watch b/c you know any minute he's gonna choke someone out.

So, the Magic lead after three. can they put together 12 solid minutes? If they can, then suddenly, ALL OF THE PRESSURE is on the Lakers. In fact, I'd say, as the next quarter starts, all of the pressure is on the Lakers. But they have KOBE!

On LeBron and the Knicks, it's funny that everyone says that -- and I'm a Knicks fan -- but if you look at the Nets, they're actually in a better position to get him. They have the point guard, in Devin Harris, they have the promising, young big man in Brooke Lopez, they have the athletic Chinese guy in Jian, they have the new arena, and they have Jay-Z, who's always hanging around LeBron, who's also an owner in the Nets.

I think Orlando is gonna be a tough matchup for the Lakers. They don't have anybody to shut down Howard consistently. Turkoglu and Lewis are monsters on the outside and midrange. Pietrus is a great x-factor. Odom, Pau and Bynum are gonna have to show up every game. It can't be the all Kobe all the time show if the Lakers want to win. Just ask LeBron.

Damn drunk at the bar almost ruined the 4th quarter for me. Talking about how Michael Jordan started the trend of long shorts in the NBA. Dude, it's the 4th quarter. I don't want to talk about shorts right now haha

LOL I used to hate the long short discussion. Seems to be a favorite topic of drunks.

I had to say back, it's almost offensive that John Stockton still wore daisy dukes 'til the end.

Ah, don't mess with my boy. Stockton was keeping it real.

Haha. Maybe it's all good for you, but I don't want to see his nuts when going up for a layup.

Howard's had 30+ point games where Orlando's lost. Lewis and Turkoglu have to pick it up eventually for them to win.

that was not a foul. is someone keeping a count on the bad cavs call tonight?

When Z is mad, he spots up for 3s...

Heh. Rafer can just toss it up and it'll go in
- Rodfather
This is great. Back & forth
- Rodfather
Wow, that was a quick technical.
- Jed
That's bullshit
- Rodfather
Dwight Howard is a physical specimen. Dwight Howard is not a great basketball player. Yet. He's also not very bright based on one flight seated next to him. Not that bright is being kind I'm afraid.
- SteVe C
I hope someone tells him he's a tech away from suspension.

weak ass technical. that was some bullshit
- Cee Bee
terrible!
- Wayne Sutton
That was taunting? crap.

That rule sucks too. 7 t's and you get a day off

Steve C, I'm not surprised. But it seems that any show of emotion = technical foul nowadays.

not tauting! just emotions just pumped! I've seen Lebron do more than that!

another bad call, let's see that's # 10
- Wayne Sutton
Varejao must have taught ben Wallace how to flop haah
- Rodfather
Orlando need to have a big lead if not the refs will give this game to clevand,
- Wayne Sutton
Agree with Rodfather, the refs have sucked really bad this post season and weren't any better in the regular season. It's a real problem. For all teams.
- SteVe C
Good defense Pietrus, needed you game two
- Wayne Sutton
I'm not sure LeBron could hit that shot again.
- Jed
Oh wait, there's an astronaut in the Angels broadcast booth, the geek in me must depart for a few minutes. :)
- SteVe C
They are tossing T's like it's nothing. Add the 7 T rule, the refs have too much control
- Rodfather
The weird part is how the league can overrule and remove technicals. But at the same time, they can't subtract the 1-point free throw.
- Jed
The way they are calling, D Howard is almost guaranteed to miss a game this series or the final if they make it. Fans don't want that
- Rodfather
If Shaq is half as arrogant as a broadcaster as he is as a player, I don't want to hear him

Neither of these teams have a legitimate offense IMO, i can't believe Orlando's shooting of 3's tonight, can that hold?

They've been known to shoot a lot of 3s. It really depends on the night if they go in or not.
- Jed
Steve true.. Lakers Triangle, Denver, 3s too
- Wayne Sutton
Orlando lives and dies by the 3.
- Rodfather
they did all season and they can

That's why a Nuggets/Magic final would be either really epic, or a real bust.

Great game, and chat.

my dream of chauncey winning another finals mvp is still alive at least
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Same here Anika not with the twin towers

Not likely Cavs will win now. We'll see

why are you asking Howard about Lebron?
- Wayne Sutton
well
- Daniel J. Pritchett
dwight gets one more T and he's out for a game plus right?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Yeah
- Matt Bebich
yep. he has 6
- Rodfather
Did you hear? They gotta keep fighting. Cuz it's a fight and that's what they do, keep fighting.
- Rah-PM 2012
that would be silly if the magic won 4-1 then dwight had to sit the first game of the finals
- Daniel J. Pritchett
thanks for good thread
- Tracy Benham
it would even be sillier if Lakers went to the finals and Kobe had to sit at the same time. 2 superstars not playing in a final
- Rodfather
Bwana... you doing an unofficial Lakers/Nuggets thread?

good night!

yup

doing every game from here on out
- Bwana ☠
i like the 2-2-1-1-1 format for early rounds.
- Rodfather
Refresh my mind about the channels. I watched yesterday's game on ESPN. Is that because it's West. Conf. and I'm west coast? I hate watching TNTHD.
- Anika
that was a real good, exciting game. great game magic! http://i44.tinypic.com/f41pib...
- Cee Bee
Usually it's TNT on tue & thurs
- Rodfather
TNT is way better than BSPN
- Cee Bee
Saturday is TNT too. ABC on Sunday. Rest ESPN
- Rodfather
Ah, thanks for the clarification. ESPNHD looks 100x better than TNTHD on my screen.
- Anika
I guess it depends. I usually check ESPN Scoreboard to check which channel it's playing on. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba...
- Rodfather
Nike is gonna lose out on a hell of a lot of money if both LA and Cleveland get eliminated.

Great thread everyone. See you tomorrow and Wednesday. Live Web at it's best.

Agreed

hopefully this one will be exciting

GO KOBE JAMES BILLUPS!

I wonder if Bynum will answer to Phil jackson's plea to play better D?
- Bwana ☠
My prediction: The Nuggets win by 5
- Bwana ☠
Should be an exciting game. If it's a blowout either way, I'll be surprised.
- John E. Bredehoft

Side note: I hate Denver's jersey colors

Bwana, I hate to say it, but you're probably right. Nuggets by 5.
- John E. Bredehoft
from fftogo
This year has revisited the notion of "home court advantage"

i think they will win by 2

Wow, I turn, take a drink and Kobe's on the line

Hey David, welcome to the thread

There's that "awesome" Laker D
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
Good foul
- Bwana ☠
yep
- Kenny
they need farmar
- Kenny
And Bynum wants to know why he doesn't play much?
- Bwana ☠
there's one reason
- Bwana ☠
Injuries for one, some lose their edge after they come back
- Bwana ☠
Example: Grant Hill
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
poor acting Kobe
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
awsome d
- Kenny
Terrible shooting continues
- Bwana ☠
On both sides

yea denver should be sinking most the shots
- Kenny
No :(

LOL ...Bank!
- Bwana ☠
oh good grief
- Bwana ☠
everybody just stood there
- Bwana ☠
I hate poor D, no matter who it is
- Bwana ☠
dumb foul, agreed, but he spun right into him
- Bwana ☠
at least he HELPED
- Bwana ☠
which others don't want to do
- Bwana ☠
Gasol can do that all night
- Bwana ☠
afraid of fouling
- Bwana ☠
Man, what's going on tonight
- Bwana ☠
If they shoot like this vs the Eastern champion, it's going to be a 5 game final series
- Bwana ☠
they had a favorable record...yes
- Bwana ☠
dont' know if they swept
- Bwana ☠
Live feed FTW!!!!
- Amani
Hey Amani
- Bwana ☠
where a live feed?
- Kenny
?
- Kenny
Gasol needs to inject Bynum with defense juice
- Bwana ☠
That didn't sound right
- Bwana ☠
Hi Odom, welcome to the game
- Bwana ☠
Man if someone hit some shots, they'd be up by 20

I would take him on any team, unless it was for a slam dunk competition.

what a stupid ass twitter name
- Rodfather
lol
- Kenny
birdman is the man
- Kenny
He reminds me of Bo Outlaw in all the right ways
- Rodfather
He needs goggles!
- Jed
That would complete the birdman image.
- Jed
lol goggles
- Kenny
thats why they need farmar
- Kenny
fish would have missed that
- Kenny
Don't worry, Farmar will blow a few layups to make up for it.
- Rodfather
Lakers gonna have to make a comeback
- Bwana ☠
a big one
- Bwana ☠
yup
- Bwana ☠
Bynum still looks out of it. What's wrong with that guy
- Rodfather

Who hijacked JR Smith's body?

i know right
- Kenny
That awesome Laker D
- Bwana ☠
Bynum...

LA is getting molly wopped

There's another reason

NOOOOOO

Why is Anthony Carter defending Kobe? Did he grow 5 inches
- JKidd5
Lol
- Kenny
I don't think he'll miss much playing time
- Bwana ☠
he tried
- Kenny
they should bring in bullups in for kobe
- Kenny
Nuggets should be up by 18
- Bwana ☠
which may turn out to be the difference in the game
- Bwana ☠
Take out JR. He's due to do something idiotic
- Rodfather
Why would you make that pass?
- JKidd5
Does he think Nene is Dwight Howard?
- JKidd5
kik]
- Kenny
lol*
- Kenny
I thought it was jr
- Kenny
Yeah, someone with a brain and applicable basketball IQ has hijacked Smith's body for the moment
- JKidd5
And AMani JR Smith doesn't deserve a "Mr" for the record
- JKidd5
;)
- JKidd5
lol hopefully the old jr smith doesn't come back
- Kenny
Carl's been in the sun
- Bwana ☠
He makes a three for every other mistake he makes.

Who is the guy wearing the Smith jersey? Im utterly flabbergasted
- JKidd5

- Bwana ☠
Hot potato!
- Bwana ☠
Let's do it!
- Carlton Hackett
Somebody tell Odom he's not a point guard
- Bwana ☠
Wow, Melo.. Phil Jackson must've sent some strippers up to his hotel room
- JKidd5
Odom wants to be point forward like Anthony Mason
- Rodfather
Ankle?
- Jed
bwana didn't you see terminator salvation?
- Kenny
no
- Bwana ☠
oh
- Kenny
i thought you did
- Kenny

- Bwana ☠
you gonna see it?
- Kenny
if it's a 10 pt lead at the half, Nuggets may lose
- Bwana ☠
I don't know Kenny
- Bwana ☠
Nene defense = nonexistent.
- Jed
It's not even halftime hah
- Rodfather
Is LA ever going to crash the boards?
- Bwana ☠
Nobody jumped
- Bwana ☠
my goodness
- Bwana ☠
I'm glad he's effective after being out of the league for 3 years
- Rodfather
This is the one of the ugliest games I've seen in the playoffs
- Bwana ☠
Yesterday's game was pretty ugly.
- Jed
Actually, it was 2 years
- Rodfather
Every time.
- Bwana ☠
Thank you Walton for stopping that back door nonsense
- Bwana ☠
Lakers look asleep
- Rodfather
If the Lakers play a C game, while the Nuggets continue sleepwalking... watch out :)
- JKidd5
I can't believe it's not a 30 pt game
- Bwana ☠
Nuggets in trouble I think
- Bwana ☠
Lakers will make a run
- Bwana ☠
Isn't it just one?
- Jed
The question is
- Bwana ☠
Will Denver match it
- Bwana ☠
I think their 3 point shooting is bound to pick up.
- Jed
It's sad that a team as flawed as the Lakers are still the NBA's best
- JKidd5
Dunno why people compare Kobe to MJ. There is no comparison. Kobe can't hold MJ's jock
- JKidd5
On paper, Lakers should be blowing out games. They are so deep.
- Rodfather
This is how the Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain fans felt when we called Jordan the best
- Bwana ☠
oops hit enter too early
- Bwana ☠
Every generation will have their best... this upcoming generation didn't witness Jordan live
- Bwana ☠
I can't stand it because it has no merits
- JKidd5
I would have loved to see Oscar average a triple double or Wilt go crazy. Too bad there's really no archives of that
- Rodfather
Kobe can't touch Michael
- JKidd5
There would be no Kobe without Jordan. Kobe tried to emulate Jordan in every way. Even how he talked.
- Rodfather
Yep
- JKidd5
I think Jordan's legacy is timeless. The fact that the Jordan brand exists is proof of that. It's like Gretzky with hockey.
- Jed
Comparing current players is hard enough, there's no point in comparing eras/generations.
- Jed
You can't compare different era's. The Dream Team was the best team ever though
- Rodfather
And that's where I can't agree
- Bwana ☠
I'll agree to disagree and move on
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
I refilled my iced tea
- Bwana ☠
so I'm ready

Bynum! Defense! Wow!

Lakers miss Turiaf
- Rodfather
Kobe's mad now..
- JKidd5
Look for him to shoot 90 more shots for the rest of the game
- JKidd5
i don't like the 7 technical rule either
- Rodfather
Dohntay Jones is a dirty little prick. I hope one of the Lakers "accidentally" puts him on his ass when he comes to the lane
- JKidd5
Biiiiiirdman!
- Rodfather
that right
- Kenny
Good feed Luke
- JKidd5
Shaq? Shaq has been to two teams since LA
- Bwana ☠
GO Denver .... From Blazer fan
- Michael Holzinger
lol
- Bwana ☠
It ain't shaq, it's lack of Bynum
- Bwana ☠
Gasol can only do so much
- Bwana ☠
I think Kobe and Wade may live with that stigma for a while.
- Jed
Lakers wish Bynum would show up
- Rodfather
I didn't think the Nuggets would be this though
- Bwana ☠
Originally I thought the LAkers would skate to the finals
- Bwana ☠
I was hoping Houston would take out the Lakers. Denver started looking really good toward the end of the season
- Rodfather
I'm sure it happens in every game. (Yes even Kobe does it)
- Jed
He's a dirty player now
- Rodfather
"Hes not a dirty player"
- JKidd5
he's a dirty player with that
- Bwana ☠
that's just wrong
- Bwana ☠
Apparently Van Gundy has been calling the game with his eyes closed

Lakers might be done now. Luke Walton is the best player on the Nuggets right now
- Cee Bee
8 mins left in the 4th, game 4 of the west finals, why is Kobe on the bench?
- JKidd5
Wuhhhhaaaallleee
- Bwana ☠
I bet daddy Walton is proud of his Son's performance for the Nuggets
- Bwana ☠

- Kenny
Walton has the look of a major dbag
- JKidd5
Tell him he sucks next time you see him
- JKidd5
WTF
- JKidd5
Kobe is STILL on the bench
- JKidd5
He called Phil a punk
- Bwana ☠
I guess Phil is conceding the game
- JKidd5
You don't call Phil a punk
- Bwana ☠
I'm kidding
- Bwana ☠
Talking about Kobe lol
- Bwana ☠
bonk
- Bwana ☠
lol odom wink
- Kenny

- Rodfather
Well, the benching of the starters is a surprising move...I'm sure it'll be talked about
- Bwana ☠
LMAO @ Smith
- JKidd5
really smith?
- Kenny
JR Smith makes Kobe's shot selection look great
- JKidd5
lol
- Kenny
he makes almost everybodies shot selection look good
- Kenny
man Kobe is going to have to re-stretch
- Bwana ☠
he's been out for...what..6 minutes?
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
LMAOOOOOOOOO @ Smith
- JKidd5
YAYYY
- Bwana ☠
Wow
- Kenny
JR Smith is BACK
- Bwana ☠
Seriously, that guy is the definition of 'Low IQ basketball player'
- JKidd5
at the worst time
- Kenny
bonk
- Bwana ☠
doesn't matter
- Bwana ☠
Lakers are deciding what to watch on the ride home
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
Melo is hurting
- Rodfather
late whistle
- Bwana ☠
Kobe in
- Kenny
boo
- Kenny
Lakers actually closed the lead
- Bwana ☠
while he was on the bench
- Bwana ☠
bad shots
- Rodfather
Kobe, it's legal to pass
- JKidd5
Kobe in take over mode
- Bwana ☠
and I bet Phil told him to
- Bwana ☠
Not a flagrant.
- Jed
Nope
- Bwana ☠
But what isn't this playoffs.
- Jed
Oh fucking please on that call. Geez
- JKidd5
bad call
- Bwana ☠
*these playoffs.
- Jed
Can we put these guys in skirts, knee highs and heels already? Good grief
- JKidd5
Brrr Brrr http://i41.tinypic.com/2zs4k68...
- Cee Bee
LOL amani
- JKidd5
Pumps were awesome.
- Jed
lol
- Kenny
Was it Kemp who pumped it?
- Jed
Larry Johnson
- Bwana ☠
ding ding we have a winner
- Bwana ☠
I don't see how a "bird" is beating up the lakers so bad
- Matt Bebich
Dee Brown. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Jed
The Lakers should be tearing up Denver in the inside they should just give it to Bynum and Gasol and let them go to work
- Matt Bebich
Naturally one of the commentators HAS to agree with the refs no matter what
- Bwana ☠
Lol
- Kenny
The refs need some love from someone
- Matt Bebich
Do their jobs properly and they will get love
- JKidd5
Melo needed that
- Rodfather
that shouldn't have been called a technical on bynum, but still http://i40.tinypic.com/5x8xgo...
- Cee Bee
No, the refs usually give the Lakers all the call
- JKidd5
*calls
- JKidd5
I was not insinuating the refs have impacted this game
- JKidd5
wow tough shot
- Bwana ☠
Thats because it wasn't a good shot
- JKidd5
Bynum 6-7 14 points he should have like 20 attempts just give it to him he'll do the rest
- Matt Bebich
The problem is, he doesn't know what to do.
- Jed
man, these fouls are coming from lack of footwork
- Bwana ☠
Bynum is a great player he is just trying to get the flow of his game back
- Matt Bebich
Bynum's head isn't straight
- Rodfather
Kobe may get 50
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
Or he may put up 50 shot attempts
- JKidd5
Kobe should just focus on D
- Matt Bebich
I'm telling ya Phil is telling him to do it
- Bwana ☠
Kobe forgot how to pass when the playoffs started
- Rodfather
Talk to Phil about it
- Bwana ☠
Off topic, but I'm assuming @DickBavetta isn't really him?
- Jed
Kobe never knew how to pass
- JKidd5
Walton needs to move his feet
- Bwana ☠
that's a sad display of D my friend
- Bwana ☠
LOLuke Walton
- Cee Bee
lol
- Kenny
embarrassment
- Bwana ☠
:)
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
I'm out of players!
- Bwana ☠
Put me in Phil!
- Bwana ☠
Phil just tell the ref about his momma and get ejected
- JKidd5
:O
- Bwana ☠
nice headgames phil. that will get you absolutely nowhere
- Cee Bee
Radio's talking about a staring contest.
- John E. Bredehoft
from fftogo
time for 3s
- Bwana ☠
About time Phil shows some emotion
- Matt Bebich
another technical
- Bwana ☠
wow a foul and a T on Melo? stern putting in that phone call late in the game, i seee
- Cee Bee
that wasn't a t
- Kenny
No delay of game but give Melo a T?
- Rodfather
it was the hack after the whistle
- Bwana ☠
Just call it a game already...
- Jed
which was minimal
- Bwana ☠
hardly worth of a T
- Bwana ☠
come on
- Rodfather
LOL @ this
- JKidd5
WTF
- Kenny
HAHA
- Bwana ☠
Everybody climb into a car
- Bwana ☠
I think the refs have a quota.
- Jed
And put on a clown show
- Bwana ☠
Denver is absolutely a boneheaded basketball team
- JKidd5
Cue Benny Hill music
- Bwana ☠
refs are on some bullshit right now. ridiculous. refereeing has been the worst it's ever been.
- Cee Bee
Martin is just stupid hahahaha
- Bwana ☠
What was that?!?!
- Bwana ☠
you're winning
- Bwana ☠
and you do that
- Bwana ☠
Hopefully a lot
- Matt Bebich
Yes, it's the refs fault the Nuggets are boneheaded
- JKidd5
Bwana, he would do it if they were losing. At least he's consistent.
- Jed
Why are they fouling?
- Bwana ☠
stern wants that Kobe vs Lebron final. you know it's the truth
- Cee Bee
I'm a bit confused
- Bwana ☠
You're winning
- Bwana ☠
Clock is creeping
- Bwana ☠
jesus Christ
- JKidd5
They're trying to artificially create a "Where amazing happens." moment.
- Jed
I think they want to lose Bwana
- Matt Bebich
You mean 'Where Fouls add 2 hours to the game happens'
- JKidd5
The FF live feed is about 15 seconds ahead of the interwebz radio feed I am forced to listen to tonight
- DJ Stevie Steve
amazing the game is this close
- Bwana ☠
Steve, watch it here: http://www.justin.tv/big_bad_1
- Graham English
denver fans need to be careful or they'll catch a technical too
- Cee Bee
you all need to work on your color commentary
- DJ Stevie Steve
FriendFeed chat may get a technical...
- Jed
NBA refs: Where inconsistency happens
- Cee Bee
where is the ff live feed?
- Kenny
Technical foul on Dwight Howard!
- Bwana ☠
owait
- Bwana ☠
LOL
- DJ Stevie Steve
Kenny - it's here! Live feed = Live chat
- Bwana ☠
ha.
- Jed
NBA refs: Where Tim Donaghy and obvious fixing happens
- JKidd5
oh
- Kenny
thanks @graham
- DJ Stevie Steve
let's see if there are any MORE mental breakdowns
- Bwana ☠
that's the only way Denver loses
- Bwana ☠
Brain deadness
- Bwana ☠
I think Dick Bavetta just called a technical on me during commercial break
- Cee Bee
There's your mental breakdown hah
- Rodfather
Farmar was open
- Bwana ☠
Brown has hops
- Matt Bebich
Dagger
- Rodfather
JR SMith with the dagger!
- Cee Bee
now see
- Bwana ☠
Lakers didn't show up tonight
- Rodfather
They called those other tit for tat, and they didn't call that one
- Bwana ☠
DANG, Denver is bringing it.
- Anika
they'll do it
- Kenny
Nene doesn't show up on the road
- Matt Bebich
Lol
- Kenny
First blowout of the conference finals
- Bwana ☠
Chauncey Bibibibbblups!
- Cee Bee
I hate blowouts...glad this is the first
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
Lakers were still in it until the end. Not a good sign for Denver
- Rodfather
nice one
- Kenny
I just dont get how Kobe who was building houses, has thrown up 26 shots while Gasol and Bynum are shooting a combined 77% throw up 18 combined. It's really baffling
- JKidd5
Right now in Denver Billups>Elway
- DJ Stevie Steve
Answer: Phil Jackson
- Bwana ☠
Lakers aren't even pissed. Give a hard foul. They already gave up
- Rodfather
The Lakers need to play D
- Matt Bebich
Kareem should go an suit up
- Matt Bebich
How do they let Petro go coast 2 coast. Ridiculous. Lakers deserve to lose the series.
- Rodfather
lol
- Kenny
Both teams stunk it up... Denver made half their shots which is why they won by 20 and not 40
- Bwana ☠
Wooo
- Kenny
I think this isn't good for the Lakers. They won 2 games by the skin of their teeth over two dumb inbound Denver plays & they got dominated here despite the ticky tack fouls from the refs
- Cee Bee
Playoff teams that went home are like - Why you didn't play like that against us?!?!
- Bwana ☠
Refs sucked both ways
- Bwana ☠
inconsistent
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Kenny
lol yeah right
- Matt Bebich
Smith did good in this game
- Kenny
Lakers are still one of the best teams
- Matt Bebich
Nobody on the Lakers are showing they are pissed for getting blown out.
- Rodfather
see ya David
- Bwana ☠
lets hope he isn't back to the old smith in next game
- Kenny
seeya david
- Kenny
lol
- Bwana ☠

- Bwana ☠

- Kenny
Denver wins! LAL 101 DEN 120
- Bwana ☠

- Bwana ☠

- Kenny
Lmao at ceebee
- Kenny

- Rodfather
lol!!!
- Bwana ☠
what the heck!?!
- Bwana ☠
that one gets a spot on my hardrive
- Kenny
I wish you could add images to threads after the fact
- Bwana ☠
Stuart Scott needs to go away
- Rodfather
Bwana thanks for the thread I forgot about it until late in the game :(
- Matt Bebich
2 ugly games in a row. I hope it gets better.
- Rodfather
