Hows that bitter beer?

LeBron.

Huh? I like Lebron. Hes a great player.

Its you that I find humorous. Who are you picking tomorrow so I can bet on the opposing team?

 

[Hostile]

I take it the Lakers won?

As a former Lakers fan (gave up on the whole NBA) I always laugh at the people who hate them.

I'm glad I'm asmusing..well by your "formula" I'm picking the Magic to win tommorrow.

Lakers will get embarrassed tonight. Mark my words. Denver is VERY hostile..more than Houston. Expect a game 4 like perfomance from the Lakers.

Dude please stop with the predictions, its getting embarrassing.

I'm not a Lakers fan, but I also laugh at those who "hate" them.

It's the same kind of "hate" (AKA jealousy) I've gotten used to as a Cowboys fan.

People hate the Lakers because of their fans, and being on here i can see why most people hate the Cowboys also.

The officials did suck in that game, so did the crew announcing the game for that matter. How do you not tell us Melo is sitting cause he is in foul trouble?

Even with the "Kobe" officiating the Nuggets should of won this game going away. That was the worse game Ive seen Chauncey play in a long time and it couldnt have come at a worse time. Bad shots, poor rebounding, dumb fouls and a ton of missed shots killed the Nuggets.

This series is over the Nuggets would have to win the next 3 to win the series or win a game 7 in LA and neither of those things are likely.

Why would you hate a team because of their fans? That's stupid.

No, the cocky fan-base comes with the territory of a winning team. The hatred (jealousy) comes from wishing their sorry teams were on the level of the Lakers (or Cowboys). At least history-wise.

There were bad calls going both ways. See the JR Smith airball out of bounds that was curiously called out on the Lakers.

Speaking of JR, how hilarious was it to see him get T'd up for screaming at Vujacic after hitting that 3 to end the 3rd quarter? Predictably stupid move from one of the most classless piles of garbage the NBA has to offer.

I don't care what a Bills fans opinions of Cowboys fans are.

C'mon Hos, we all know that Jeff Garcia, Greg Knapp, Steve Mariucci, Andy Reid, Brad Childress, Donovan McNabb, Tony Romo, and Jason Garrett aren't reliable sources of information.

Why did you give up on the NBA?

Why did you give up on the NBA?

The Spurs vs. Suns playoff series a few years ago where the NBA fixed the series turned me off forever. I hate the Suns, but I don't want to see a league fix a series. I swapped several e-mails with Rod Thorn after I wrote the NBA offices.

so the league fixed it where the spurs, a team who gets absolutely no ratings, would go on instead of the suns, who were a ratings machine???

No. They fixed it to where the winner was a foregone conclusion. It was not in their best interests to do so. It doesn't mean they didn't accomplish exactly that with the suspensions they handed down.

I don't care if they follow the letter of the law in the regular season. In the playoffs they owe the fans and players the best possible series and competition.

We didn't get it.

Wow..very disappointed in Denver tonight. Lakers didn't even deserve to win..it's still baffling how Denver lost that game..Oh well they'll take game 2 like I predicted.

very soon the Pepsi center will be officially closed for the summer! at least for NBA basketball games

i can understand you being upset with the suspensions, but it is a rule, and it doesnt say in the rule book that it should be different in the playoffs. i would have liked to have seen stoudamire in there too, but when people make the argument that the suns lost only because of that suspension there are two things that those people forget about.

1)the suns played great in game 5, and a big reason of why they led most of the way is because kurt thomas was playing most of the minutes that stoudamire would have played. Kurt thomas was a very good defender and one of only 3 players who kept duncan in check defensively during his prime (the others being rasheed wallace and KG). anyway the strategy for the spurs against the suns has always been to let amare go off and shut down the rest of the guys (hence his monster numbers vs us, but people like nash and marion and barbosa being shut down) and seeing as we have beat them in the playoffs three times in a row id say its a great strategy

2)most importantly, if the suns were a better team, they should have come back and won game 5, they had their guys back while we were still missing robert horry, who was still a decent contributor at the time. its not an accident that the suns are only 4-12 in the last three playoff series against us, we are just better. just like the mavs are just plain better this year than us.

again i understand the frustration, but i think to say the league fixed it purposely so that the spurs would win is just not right. and im glad they suspended them, not just because im a spurs fan, but because they didnt bend the rules because of the situation. one of my biggest pet peeves about the NBA is how rules change all of the sudden because of the situation of the game. in the NFL, a pass interference is a pass interference no matter what quarter it is or who the home team is (unless its the steelers that is :laugh2

Who has this one tonight?

Denver is going to win this one.

It was about time for Jr to step up, he has been awful in this series. Hopefully he can continue to play at a high level the rest of the way.

 

[MC KAos]

nuggets should finish it off unless they continue to commit stupid fouls and then argue about them and get technicals

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Goodnight Lakerrrs! The Black Gardener Snake couldn't get it done this time!
