another blowout in game 7....phx over Lakers.
i would really like to see a miracle, and see an LA story, but it ain't going to happen anymore...
Yeah, I haven't seen a team in the NBA to win a series after failing to close the series in game 6. The Nets have faced that situation in the 2004 playoffs on the second round against the Pistons. They won games 3, 4 and 5, but failed to close it in game 6. And as a result, they end up beaten badly in game 7 :shakehead: . I just hope the Lakers can defy the odds :fingerscrossed:

Noooo!!! Please.....anyone but the Pistons! :beaten:

personally, i really don't care about the Pistons, other than they are a talented well defensive/offensive team with great team unity. I would like to see Dallas go all the way, since they seem the toughest with Nowitski and his hot shooting from the field. But my favorite team is not the Lakers, it is the Clippers. Atleast one of the LA teams will definitely be in the 2nd round. If Phx advances, they will probably be playing either Dallas or Spurs, that is my prediction.

You are probably right about your description to the Pistons.....but I just hate them :beaten: . Dallas is definitely a strong contender for the title this year. If they could reach the finals then I bet they will take the title for sure, because they have won the season games against the Pistons and the Heat.
Cleveland will advance to the second round by defeating Washington in OT in a very exciting game, 114-113 :applaud: .

Sacto and Washington are going Fishing....and are on vacation now... :bonk:
but it would be very tough and miraculous if they can pull out an upset in PHX, highly unlikely...not sure if this is worth watching, cause they are going to be joining Bibby, Sacto Kings on vacation soon. :shakehead:
well, just have to wait and see. :sweat: :beaten: :beaten: :beaten:
All lakers fan must be truly disappointed with the game.
Kobe and the team aren't going to be looked highly upon for while :sweat:
yeah, very disappointing...
maybe some offseason changes to the team? :headscratch:
Phx, the better team advances...and will meet and most likely beat the Clips to advance again...
but i really think they cannot beat the Spurs or Dallas....Phx isn't strong enough to handle the texas teams.

I'm not a fan of the Lakers, but offseason changes to the team sounds good.
Phx not being able to defeat Spurs or Dallas....sounds like last year.
Well....who knows. Lakers almost upset Phx....maybe Phx might be able to pull an upset on them Texas team :mrgreen:

being in LA area, just thought i root for them....
but i also like the Suns...and Nash, i like their style..
but they probably will not make it thru the finals, and will run into the wall with Detroit/Spurs type teams...
Well, the Lakers were given the chance to finish off the series in 2 games (yes, just 2 because game 7 is already expected to be a loss for the Lakers :beaten: ), but they just couldn't get the job done :shakehead: . I bet bmwracer is really pissed about this :bonk: .
Final Laker post-mortem: O.K. I'm as disappointed as anybody about game 7, but let's look at the big picture. This time last year, the Lakers had lost 48 games and looked to be in a lot of trouble. Just one year later, they're back in the playoffs and took a very good Phoenix team to 7 games. The improvement in Kwame Brown since Chris Mihm went down is remarkable (Goodbye, Chris) But, obviously the Lakers still need help, Smush Parker is not the answer in the backcourt, and they need another body up front to help Odom. We will see what happens in the off season. [/list:u]

it is obvious that they lack in the backcourt, and need to replace Smush Parker, i don't think he is worth the gamble to keep for another season, we'll just see if they hold on to him or drop him.
I think they lack defensive toughness, and another scoring to help kobe..
Maybe they need to stir up things in their starting five....I think mainly, they need a pure point guard to distribute the ball, penetrate the paint and dish, and defend other good opponent point guards like Nash. Perhaps a few more veterans too, to help give the lakers the experience to add depth.
yeah, they were better than last year, this time, but they failed to close out the first round and move on, perhaps next year.

ok one shot in a surprising, but how many was that? 4!!!!!! a miracle! lol, i don't know how he kept making them :shocked: :shocked:
Pistons win against the Cav's...113-86, a blow out game. :beaten:
during the third quarter, Ben Wallace shoots two consective air balls on the freethrow line, i didn't think that was possible...he is a 29% freethrow shooter... :hehe:

Spurs beat Dallas 87-85 in game 1.
Hopefully the Cavs put up a better match next game....if there is a next game. Was this game 1 for them???
29% free throw :shocked: I shoot better then him at the free throw line.
Sad to say....but Shaq can do better then that......at least when he shoots one handed while eating a Taco :hehe:
Damn....I was hoping for Dallas to win today's game :grumble:

Yup, it's just game 1 ;)

Yeah, most big men are just bad in free throws. Even Tim Duncan is having problems with his free throws at times :sweat: . Gotta give credit to Yao Ming for having a good touch at the foul line :applaud:
