No thanks, I'll take the Lakers win. 15-1 last year was fine by me.

C'mon, admit it. You wanna see Kobe make a game winning shot (ala Jordan) in Game 7 of the NBA finals with no time left on the clock.

Not me...4 boring not-close games will do just fine

Already saw enough of that drama in game 7 of the Portland series in 2000.

Personally, I hope this series goes down to the wire in game 7. For all intent and purpose (what's that mean, anyways), this is the Finals. If LA wins this series you guys will get your 4 game blowout series against the East champs.


Edit: I like drama.

Drama's great afterwards if your team wins. You can sit and go "wow, that was dramatic" It's also cool if you're not a diehard fan of either team. As for me, I just want to see the Lakers roll. When the 80's Lakers won their second of the back-to-back titles, like every series went 7 games. That is just too much. Fun to reflect on afterwards, but too crazy while it's going on.

Well you can always get some nitroglycerine pills just in case it becomes too tight.

Drama in sports is always way cool. Remember Gibby's pinch-hit homer? How 'bout Isiah playing on that ankle? Now that was drama. Hell, last years World Series was pure drama...especially with Arizona's closer blowing leads twice. Jack in the '84 (or was it '88?) Masters. I love drama in sports. It always makes it fun to watch.


...well, almost. Isiah and Magic kissing before each game is drama I could've done without.

Too bad I can't watch 90% of the game tonight. I have a final that starts at 7:45pm and is supposed to go until 10:00pm. I'll probably be done by 8:30, and home by 9:15 though, but but then it will be damn near over.

LOL. That watermelon he had sticking out from between his eyes afterwards probably affected his shooting a little.

And when I saw Kobe run up to the ref saying "No, no, no, that was my fault" I thought that was pretty cool of him. Oh wait, that never happened.

Yea, like that is going to happen. It should have been a no call, because it definetely wasn't a foul on Kobe, he was just swinging his arms through like all players do, and it should not have been a foul on Christie, he was just standing there. But the refs felt they needed to call a foul, I'm not sure why. I'm personally interested in seeing Kobe take 26 shots and shot only 3 foul shots like he did game 1 (4 of those shots were intentional fouls by Sac at the end, so I'm not including those).

I know...but it would've been cool to see. I agree it shoul've been a no call. Though it was the worst case of incidental contact I've ever seen.

What I hate are all of the double technicals. T one or the other up, but I hate it when they bail and call the double.

i also look forward to bobby jackson jumping directly into either a stationary deveon george or rober horry, who make no attempt to block the shot or jump and make no contact with bobby jackson with any part of their arms, and getting a foul in his favor

bad calls/non calls happened both ways in game one

and a couple bad calls, like the ones that helped bobby jackson get two three point plays, helped the kings mount a mini run so all the whinning from the kings fans about the refs is just pure crapola

i can't wait to see divac gorilla dunk in shaq's face.
