In a way it's a nice story that a 26 win team could win a title the next year but to pilfer KG & Ray Allen to do it just doesn't feel right. Not that the Lakers highway robbery of Pau Gasol makes them any more legit in my eyes...NBA titles are generally earned by going thru the hard knocks of losing for a couple of years before you reach the pinnacle. These teams feel like phony title contenders to me.<BR/><BR/>The Sports Guy had some hilariously choice words for the Lakers fans - making fun of Paul Pierce and accusing him of faking his knee injury in Game 1 while constantly defending Kobe's selfish antics and chanting MVP whenever he does anything good:<BR/><BR/>"...for the Lakers' fans to have the gall to question any other NBA star's character is three times as insane. In retrospect, Pierce's only mistake was not diffusing the Lakers fans before Game 3 by settling with his right knee out of court and buying it a $4 million diamond ring."<BR/><BR/>I hate Kobe.Taxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258303108102219306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481778847952160305.post-68832147887970374222008-06-11T10:25:00.000-04:002008-06-11T10:25:00.000-04:00I watched Office reruns too.

And now, the NBA has a scandal on its hands as ousted gambling fiend referee Donaghy claims high level leaugue officials enlisted 2 referees to fix the 2002 Lakers v.

I did watch a portion of the game last night, but I was mostly watching The Office on TBS last night. I suppose you can't really blame the NBA for trying to connect this finals series with the ones from the 80s - after all, they're only trying to make a buck. But it's an apples/oranges comparison.Assmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291844788626138094noreply@blogger.com
