WOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOO!

I am completely beside myself right now! I feel like I am 14 years old again!

PISTONS BABY! DOMINATION!
 
Another Laker fan here...

The Pistons were simply a better team in terms of chemistry and their performance. So congratulations to them.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Talk about asshole 😀 😛

DIEEE

that cocky bastard deserves to be laughed at..

didnt he guarantee a win for the lakers??

oh well I still give him kudos, he has a lot of heart
 
Pistons deserved the championship but all you people dissing the Lakers are pretty pathetic. Phil Jackson doesn't have 9 rings being a pathetic coach as someone put it.....he had good teams but you still need to be a good coach to get the team to play well. Lakers didn't play up to their level in the finals...simple as that. If you're gonna talk about fisher's lucky shot...you better mention Duncan's lucky shot too.......

duncan's shot was still in the realms of possibility..

fisher's shot was like hitting the jackpot of a 1 billion dolar lottery

i'm a laker fan as well, and i have to say, detroit deserves the championship after completely shutting down a team that has really been unstoppable in the playoffs the past five years (except for that missed horry 3 that cost us last year).

this really should have been a sweep, it was embarrassing to watch.

congrats to the pistons and especially larry brown.

unstoppable in the past five years???

I will give 2 years, but 5 years is not right.

Spurs simply outplayed lakers last year, and lakers is just LUCKY fisher made that jumper.. otherwise spurs can easily win that game..

also that shot that horry made when lakers beat the kings was also extremely lucky..

bulls were unstoppable.. lakers were not

regardless of how, they still won 17 playoff series and lost only 1 up until now. that's not bad. given many times it wasn't pretty (2000 vs portland, 2003 vs sacramento), regardless they virtually always found a way to come out on top until now, when they were just completely shut down.
san antonio's defeat of the lakers last year doesn't come close to what the pistons did to them this year.

also, don't forget the ridiculous duncan jumper before fisher's.

if you watched the game, you'd know that both were equally ridiculous.

IIRC duncan still looked at the bucket when he made that shot..

fisher just turned around and put the ball in the air
 
Fcuking awesome series! I said Detroit in 5 before this series even started! I am so pumped! I should have made more bets, I could have made more money off this series! 🙂 😀

Hamilton should have been MVP though! He is the best player, EVER! 😛

`K
 
congrats to the Pistons.
sad to see Malone and Payton not get their 1st ring but oh well, they'll live.
hopefully Shaq and Kobe stays but I'm afraid next year will be a rebuild season.

Payton didn't deserve it. Malone didn't play much in the finals.

Larry Brown - oldest coach to win a NBA championship with a hot wife to boot. 😉

:camera:'s 😛

Yes, where are the pics of the wife/daughter? 😛

seriously though, I feel happy for Larry Brown... it's been a long wait for him.

I look forward to see what kind of dismantling happens to the Lakers this summer :beer:
 
By the end of the game, LB was up (and still tight), you know why?
The guy with white tape on ear 🙂 shot 0 for 2 from the line, got a ball stolen, ...
Is this the guy the bose said a part of the future Detroit, think to himself, "I am going to get out of here...." 🙂


Anyway, a surprise, good final that actually help NBA rating.

Yeah, I guess that is quite an achievement... I wish I had enough money to own multiple teams so I could be a competitive 😛
