NBA Finals: Lakers and Magic - Off-topic

What better time to start this thread with Fish hitting two clutch 3's and Gasol about to knock out Pietrus. If you're an Orlando fan, sorry you guys are done for. If you're a Lakers fan, let's bring home that title and the first Shaq-less ring!

Same here man. When i heard that, i said that West really doesn't know basketball (which is false), but i was that mad. Let's hear what he has to say after a no-show from Lebron in the Finals and Kobe averaging more than 30.

Lakers in 5, have been saying it from the beginning. Orlando robbed us of the Kobe vs LeBron match up! Actually, the rest of the Cavaliers team did that!

No Danny Ferry robbed you of that...he didnt put a good team around Lebron, and he has to play one on five ball in the fourth quarter of every clutch game, and he cant do it by himself...

Favorite NFL Team?

I gotta go with the Dallas Cowboys!
But, this year I don't see them going all the way. Romo still has a little more conditioning to do in my opinion. Also, T.O. is out for a couple games. :\
So who is your Favorite NFL Team?
Mine is the one with best record
Romo has been done in by the Jessica! She is nothing but bad luck...
Au contraire, mon ami... the correct answer is the reigning NFL champion Indianapolis Colts.
The Pats are gonna crash and burn...
cowboys
(only because someone gave me 3 cowboys shirts last year-i really don't know why! but they're cool in the summertime...)
I wouldn't be surprised if the colts won the super bowl again this year

I never had anything against the Giants but damn.. Eli needs to become a little more reliable. That game against the Bills... the Giants defense won that game for them.
Well, I'm am a home town kind of fan. I was born just south of St. Louis so I started out a Cardinal fan. (Yes a Cardinal FOOTBALL fan) I moved to Louisiana in 77 and for over 25 years I tried really really really hard to be a Saints fan........ but they never fail in finding ways to disappoint. Now I live in the Dallas area, so I'm gonna give them Cowboys a try. Ready made dynasty with 5 S.B. championships. I think they are going to be a team I can get behind. Looks like TO has shed the primadonna status and the drama that goes along with it. Just need him back and healthy. Romo has come into his own, but he needs to shed the distraction if you know what I mean. He also needs a little more maturity and experience. If they make it to the Super Bowl, it may be more pressure than he can take.
I have to pull for the Patriots somewhat.... they have one of my kin folk playing on that team (Wes Welker) so I gotta hope he does well.

Do you want the Cardinals back? I'm sure we Arizonans can arrange to cover the shipping charges...
Denver Broncos. Though their past is more interesting than current performance.

LOL, I wondered if someone was going to make that offer. I think the folks in St. Louis might pass on that.
I grew up in New Hampshire and have been a life long Patriots fan. I remember watching them get demolished by the Bears in their first Super Bowl. That just makes these last few and this season so much sweeter. I was hoping for two perfect teams this year, but Miami had to blow that by winning a game!
Did any of y'all watch the Pats - Ravens game? I'll prob get flamed now.. but Murderin Ray Lewis and the Ravens went to town on the Pats in that game. I also feel that they won. The time out called on that 4th down play was by a ravens staff member who legally was not allowed to make time out calls. The refs ignored it.
Ravens won that imho.
This makes 3 for the Cowboys! And yes, I think we might go all the way...

Well my lifelong beloved team has had some very bad seasons...however, I have always been and always will remain a loyal member of the Raider Nation!!
Oakland RAIDERS!!!
PS- the thumbnail is actually my first boot screen, and I have another Raiders image on my second boot screen...this is how much I love my team...pretty much everything I own has some form of Raiders insignia on it!
16 wins, a all time NFL record. The Pat's ROCK!! They seem extra motivated by the negative-press and non-believer's...

Yeah i think the Ravens deserved to win that game, but the thing about the Pats is that even though they've almost lost several games, they still pull out the W if even at the last second. And although Im not a fan and i was rooting for them to lose as much as anybody, I think they are an amazing team.

THE GIANTS WON!!! u mad???

it was most exhilarating. the giants of new york took on the patriots of new england. and in the end the giants triumphed by kicking a oblong ball made of pigskin into a big "H". it was most ripping victory.

Go Boston Celtics!!!

game 1 just finished and it was a great game, close game throughout. Just wanted to spread my excitement right now. [COLOR="#red"]GO CELTICS, BEAT LA!![/COLOR]
Let's See are the Celtics going to Follow in the Red Sox Shoes Or the Patriots Shoes? Excellent Jubilation or Crushing Defeat? Hmmm...
Boooooo! Go LAKERS!!

well i'm obviously hoping they follow the soxs, but it was only game 1 and both teams were getting adjusted to the playing style of the other. Celtics d was slacking, LA's pick and roll was killing us but LA's d wasn't that great either. Putting garnett in the post up is something we need to do more of, can't wait till Sunday for GAME 2..

LOL, my feelings are the exact opposite. BOOOOO LA, GO CELTS!! i forsee us winning this series AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP in 6 games. 3 IN BOSTON AND 1 IN LA. WE'LL SEE SUNDAY.
I'm definitely for BOOOOOO BOSTON. Boston has no finals experience nor do most of the players on the team so that's a huge downside. This is Doc River's first Final's appearance and the Zen Master has won 10 (not to mention the many other times he was there but lost). Let's see, Raja Bell had his turn, Bruce Bowen, and probably the whole Boston team will get a shot at him, but Kobe will get through Once again, great offense ALWAYS trumps great defense. Lakers will win in 5...max 6.
kareem9nba said:
I'm sorry but you can bring KG, Alonzo Mourning, Tim Duncan, Raja Bell, (the list continues on forever....), and they still wont stop him. I'm not all over him, but since i'm a huge fan of the game (been playing since i was 7ish and now i play high school ball), seeing such a player like that is just amazing. One thing you should remember, great offense will ALWAYS AND FOREVER trump great defense. History proves it . . .

I agree with you that Kobe is an amazing player - ask most people here in Colorado what they think of him as a person and you will get a far less complimentary assessment. That said, although I am a Boston fan I am also a Gasol fan, and my initial impression was that Kobe and Gasol would be too much for the Celtics, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Celtics took game one. The heroics of Pierce were inspiring. I am glad that it looks like it will be an exciting series (like the NHL final was!), and not a walkover. I would still bet on Lakers to win but I hope it goes 7.

Ughh, those refs pised me off so bad--i felt like smashing all of them into the wall. WTH were those gay calls? Apparently, Kobe has to be shot down in order to get a foul or smacked on the face where as Rondo or Allen just have to be tapped. Lakers will still take it tonight--even if those gay refs don't cooperate.

i doubt they will take it tonight, boston d is on point tonight. Defensive boards and stops all day. Offense running the way it's suppose to, 11-0 run in the third with bryant on the court and no help from the refs, no bs call in second half so far. those fouls called on bryant first half, 2 of 3 he deserved running through celtics trying to break the screen? no good... Powe was killing the post in both halfs and rondo is doing a hell of a job running offense.
There's been a whole load of crap calls in the third. I'll say that the lakers are playing like crap as well. HORRIBLE SHOT SELECTION. BENCH NEEDS to step up and wth did Powe COME FROM!?!!? This just pissed me off.

The celts bench has a pretty good arsenal, mix of veteran and rooks that are ready at a moments notice. Powe, he finally got of the bench, he's always produced when needed. Only reason why he doesn't see much time is because perkins is mostly on the floor. And LA's D just isn't there. Up 20 pts going into the forth, BEAT LA!!!
Didn't like how it ended but the celts WIN!!! 2-0 BEAT LA!!!!
Well, if you're the Lakers, you're probably super pissed off, but then again feel some sort of relief. After playing one of the CRAPIEST games of the season and Boston playing amazingly, you manage getting the game to 2 points and a chance at the win. Not bad if you ask me. Had the refs not been so gay, LA would have had a chance to take the Finals back in LA. I still think lakers will get it in 6 (yes 4 straight).

well the celts played amazing D then got stupid in the forth and just let LA get the open looks they wanted and made. I'll give LA credit they have an array of guys who are spot up 3 point killers. Hitting 6 3's in the forth is just unacceptable.
LOL 4 straight? i dont think so. Boston takes game 4 and 6, Game over.
Don't worry even if LA comes back the Celtics will take one from the play book of the Patriots and find a way to cheat.
Besides the NBA is not a real sport. It has become entertainment more then anything. Honestly you could call a foul in the NBA on about every play. The refs make a huge deciding factor on the outcome of the game. To me....that is not a sport.

Mayhem Festival 7/26

I'm going to test out the Qik app on the G1 at this concert, and I'm inviting anyone to watch it live at my Qik page(which I'll post on the the 6 hour drive to Chicago). I'll post more info when I know concert lineups.
By the way, anyone going to be there?

I know, but still, it confuses my poor brain when someone says football in america and referres to NFL.. I keep thinking football, as in soccer.
I don't understand how NFL is football. You kick the ball a few times, most of the time it is being carried or thrown... Oh well... I'm going to shut up now and get back on with some work I am meant to be doing....
