NBA Championship: Lakers Vs. Magic

[hi_im_god]

hi laker fan.

i just want you to know that living in l.a. is going to be even more insufferable than usual the next week because of you.

somewhere in japan, an engineer who worked 60 hours/week for 4 months designing the most efficient possible airflow will see a short news clip of you with the all the dorky laker flags flapping outside your 2003 corolla, drunkenly screaming "wooooo, lakers!!!", and realize just how futile his life has been.

their culture will prevent his widow and orphan's from telling you what a tool you look like.

but not me.

'Nuff Said!

God this makes Cleveland look even worse.
The Magic totally layed down again, they
pulled this against the Celtics for a game
also.

I thought it might be out of their system.
That was a horrid effort. Losing with
effort at least gives some hope that you
have a team.

Awful.

Wow, Orlando plays LA and we stll need to get a Cleveland cheap shot in...awesome.

Listen....Cleveland is what they were...they pounded the bad teams a hair better than the other of the "big 4". They went 3-6 in the season against Orlando, LA and Boston. They played best against Boston. LA beat them regular season worse than Orlando. Ignore the 66 wins...Orlando was a better team than Cleveland and so was LA. Cleveland would have had as much success against LA as they did against Orlando. Orlando's luck ran out. Just like the series before when they were up against Cleve 3-1 they could have just as easily been down that series 3-1. They weren't...the better team won. This series they could have been up 3-1 against LA but they weren't. Against Cleveland, they won 2 of the 3 buzzer games. This series they lost both buzzer games. The better team won. The best team in the league won the title as it did last year and the year before.

The facts remain, Cleveland played fine. They played a better team and were possibly a couple Rashard Lewis threes with under 10 seconds left from winning the series. As I say it still says Cleveland on their jerseys. Against LA, Lee misses a wide open layup to win a game. Howard and Turk miss every free throw in the 4th against LA. Howard in the 4th NEVER missed both against Clev...he simply did against LA.

This bolded is a cool renovation of the Dennis Green
"they are who we thought they were".

I hear ya though. No cheap shots intended.

I won't hold my breath.

I hate the Lakers but I am rarely wrong. I was wrong about the finals, I picked it in 6. I picked Orlando to make the finals....I saw no other genius on this board pick Orlando to the finals.

from early April....

The Cavaliers still have that word in front of their nickname..."Cleveland". That alone pretty much disqualifies them from winning it. I've seen it time and time again...nothing else matters much other than that. Garnett getting hurt was the worst thing for them believe it or not. They have always matched up horribly against Orlando for whatever reason...and I think Garnett's injury may push the Magic over the Celtics. I hope not.

Lakers 4 to 2 over Magic. None of the other series' really matter.


...there you go dala, you great basketball guru. I hate the Lakers and was righter than you.

LOL.... and you really should have been right on with 4 - 2... though the Magic could easily been up 3-2 right now and headed back to LA, where they would have lost 2 straight... if they had not choked so bad in two games.

Edit: I see you already addressed the choking part in a previous post.
