Hats off to the Lakers.. Although I must say, CLASSLESS three by Sasha at the end there.

Still, gl in the finals. Kobe is a monster.

[hater]

Hell yeah. If you play Detroit. Hope you lose. If you play Celtics hope you win.

Props to Kobe. He went up a couple levels this series.

[Mr. Body]

No such thing as karma, I guess.

[Kori Ellis]

Congrats to the Lakers. Kobe is awesome and they are much better defensively than people give the credit for.

If the Lakers play Boston, please destroy them.

Thanks.

[DDS4]

Congrats to the Lakers and the MVP.

The Spurs did all they could with what they had left.

[KB24 MVP]

[Russ]

Good job Lakers. :toast

The better team wins a seven game series and this time it was the Lakers.

[mystargtr34]

The better team won.

:toast

[LakeShow]

Thanks you guys. You know all this trash talk was just out of fun. We have the utmost respect for the Spurs. You had a great run and we are glad that we were able to play the Spurs because going to the finals without beating the best would just have not been the same.

Most of you guys are alright in my book! :toast

[lakehorn]

Kudos to the Lakers, well deserved.

[ElNono]

Congrats. The better team won. I tought we would give a bigger fight, but it was not to be.
We'll see you next year.

[LakeShow]

Now, Who's your daddy???? :lol

parting shot!

[MarCowMar]

Congrats to the Lakers. Their bench has developed very nicely and they play great as a team.

I hope they take the Celtics out if it comes to that. :)

[lefty]

Congrats :toast

We'll kick your asses next season though

[baseline bum]

Congrats to the Lakers. Kobe has proved himself as the best player on the planet, and their supporting cast has played amazing. I think they take Boston in 6.

[Manu20]

Kobe is the best player in the planet.

[1Parker1]

No one in the East stands a chance against this Lakers team. Not the way Kobe is playing.

[TheMACHINE]

Time to join together and kick some East ass!

[Man of Steel]

Congrats to LA.

[rAm]

I'm surprised Kobe isn't a Scientologist

You don't have to be an ass. Go Celtics by the way.

[BiZNicK]

Now, Who's your daddy???? :lol

parting shot!


Grow the fuck up.

[lefty]

I like the Lakers' chances don't forget that Pistons and Celtics are younger and healthier than the Spurs

[LakeShow]

Grow the fuck up.

Man, I was just kidding. Don't take this shit so personal. It's just a game!

[Lakers14Titles]

Nice thread. Tough series, just too much Kobe tonight for the Spurs.

[sedale threatt]

congrats lakers. keep playing d and you'll represent the west well. see you at work, matt.

[turiaf for president]

[DazedAndConfused]

Good series guys! See you next year

[Budkin]

Congrats to the Lakers. I don't like your team but Kobe, what can I say? Dude is amazing. Oh, and I hope you end up losing in the Finals. Peace.

[samikeyp]

[LakerLanny]

Congrats to the Lakers. Kobe is awesome and they are much better defensively than people give the credit for.

If the Lakers play Boston, please destroy them.

Thanks.

You are a classy lady Kori Ellis. Your husband is a very lucky man.

I would like to wish the Spurs and their fans a great summer of adding some new players and making some minor tweaks and I know you will be right back in the mix next year as usual, you always are.

Props to all of you. :toast

[Remycs21]

Congrats Lakers :toast I'm pulling for you all the way :lobt:

Spurs are done and I can sleep comfortably every night for the next 11 months. :sleep

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well done, you beat a bunch of old guys who can hardly walk... GO CELTICS!!!

Nah, well played, seriously. They did what they had to for the win. They'll have to play much better to win the Finals though.

PS I HATE your Messiah, Kobe Cheater (sexual, not basketball sense), but, man, he sure can play ball.

[E20]

Congrats to the Lakers, they clearly outplayed the Spurs. Kobe was amazing shooting the ball with his FG% numbers.

[SAtown]

Spurs are done and I can sleep comfortably every night for the next 11 months. :sleep

:lol Good luck with that, cuz the boogeyman returns in November.

[pooh]

They did great and they didn't panic after getting down when the Spurs got out to that huge lead, I think they let the Spurs do that, knowing full well they would waste all thier energy and then just slowly reel them in. Good Job, who cares who's in the finals now.

[tgarcia0823]

Time to join together and kick some East ass!


Only if the Celtics come out of the east. If Detroit comes out then we will cheer them on because we have more respect for Detroit than L.A. Sorry but just stating the obvious.

[mVp]

Congrats on your Western Conference championship...

I hope the Pistons make it to the Finals and fuck you all up :toast

[KB24 MVP]

You don't have to be an ass. Go Celtics by the way.

Go Celts go Pistons blah blah blah it dont matter at least we stopped u from the finals and get the last western WCF laugh hahahahaha

[tgarcia0823]

Congrats Lakers :toast I'm pulling for you all the way :lobt:

:nope

[Deb]

Congrats Lakers. Still hope Boston or Detroit wins it all

[sasysmith]

I wish it could have been my boys who dethroned the champs, but congrats to the Lakers and congrats to the Spurs for such a hard fought battle.

San Antonio! Are you ready for '08-'09? A new year and another chance for our teams to hate each other! :D

[homer]

Props and congrats to the Lakers.












I still hate you and your fans, though.

:toast Congrats to the L.A. Lakers. Now go represent the West well.
I leave you with this funny music/video. http://kezfun.net/657-Camel_Toe
Give it time to load(5-10 seconds). It's well worth it.

[MarceloM!]

All the credit to the Lakers. Congratulations Lakers! good job.

[efrem1]

Guess what? What? It's over. What? Yea like hit records are short. Take off eh!!

Bob and DOug MacKenzie

Congrats Lakers

[Cleveland Steamer]

Congrats Lakers but Lebron will be too much for you in the Finals.

[Killakobe81]

The classy fans ...a CLASSY team ...CLassy organization and a classy city ...I love it here in SA ...even though i get dirty looks when i wear my Lakers gear ...

[CharlieMac]

Damn, I didn't see this. I suck.

[SenorSpur]

Congrats!

[ipeefreely]

Congrats Lakers but Lebron will be too much for you in the Finals.
HAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What?

Stop taking drugs and posting

[myhc]

congratulations to the lakers and good luck in the finals. :toast

[beachwood]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Congrats to the Lakers. They were the better team without a doubt. Their offense was as good as advertised and their defense was even better. Tough, tough team that made all the big plays. Kobe is an absolute beast. He's hard to root for, but his talent is undeniable. And to think he is just now entering his prime years.

[florige]

Yeah congrats! I hope Boston beats you guys though. I can't stand to see Fisher grinning again after winning another title as many times he has F'ed us!!

[LakerFanTX]

Hats off to the Lakers.. Although I must say, CLASSLESS three by Sasha at the end there.

Still, gl in the finals. Kobe is a monster.

Hey all. I just joined so I hope you don't mind the post.

Know what-- as a Lakers fan I could not agree more. I was pissed when Sasha shot that 3 at the end. Totally stupid and probably won't be forgotten by players around the league.

It looked like a few SA players might have refused to shake his hand afterward or at least just turned the other way. I partly chalk it up to inexperience but there's really no excuse. Never should have happened!

By the way, I was at game 4 at the AT&T Center and was so impressed with the Spurs fans. It's a wonder anybody EVER wins in that place. You get it rockin. Also there is no denying the class that Pop and his team bring to the league. The Spurs compete HARD and there are never any excuses. An athlete can always hold their head up high when you do that consistently.

I'm just glad the Lakers have Kobe is all. He never ceases to amaze me in the clutch.

[slayermin]

Ftl!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Fuck the Lakers.

[Harry Callahan]

Too much Kobe. Bottom line. The other Lakers are good role players that play well together - but they have their limitations. Kobe was the difference all the way through. I am sorry our shooting guard was not able to play to the level he played all year long. Manu's physical condition prevented this from being a long, classic series.

The better team won. Yuck.

[mikekim]

Fuck...I live in lakerland...

These next few weeks are going to be miserable. I hope the Pistons take them out, so the misery won't last past June.

Oh...but Lakers played a great series. I would've liked to see an adequate Manu though. Heck, I would've liked to see a 100% Bynum and a 100% Manu. I think it would've gone 6 or 7. (Spurs winning of course!)

[cobbler]

Classy posts! I'd like to say thanks from all the decent Laker fans. I have nothing but respect for the Spurs from top to bottom. No doubt with a few adjustments (that you always make) that you will be right back next year in the hunt.

Going to the Finals is a huge accomplishment for us after our last 4 years of dissapointments. Beating the Spurs to get there makes it all the more valuable. Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean that in a rubbing it in kind a way. It's meant as a It adds validity to the accomplishment to best a worthy and class opponent.

You had a great year, and well battle next one...

Thanks Again

[Jellojiggler]

U better recognize! hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!

[WCFBaby]

This series was all about Game 1, we got a couple of tough breaks that made this series short. But congrats, it takes a lot of things going your way to win a championship.

Thankfully, the Lakers overcame more "tough breaks" than the Spurs and won this series four games to one.

[WCFBaby]

Parker didn't play like the Finals mvp. Ginobili SUCKED. Barry played well. Why the fuck didn't Kurt Thomas play more?



Kobe is a bitch. The Lakers franchise is a blight upon humanity. And the Lakers posters are an insult to colon polyps.


This is the first time in my life that I am considering rooting for a team from Boston.

LOL.........you're a whiney cunt.

[WCFBaby]

Kobe is the best player in the planet.

You mean.........THE BLACK MAMBA?

[aka_USAPA]

No sense rubbing it in. So relieved it's over.

As far as this board is concerned, this thread is what it's all about. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Spurs are a class organization. I'm glad the Spurs won when the Lakers can't. Now, let's what's ahead for them in the Finals.

Most of the posters in this board know about hoops. They know championship basketball.. They know their Spurs, the NBA. They know hoops. Interestingly enough, the posters here (the good ones anyway) have taken it after the Spurs... they are classy too.

I came here for the series. To talk hoops, smack a little. It's over. I'm out. Good luck all.

PS

Man in Black, check PM.

[BlingX14]

Thanks to the Spurs for giving the Lakers all they could handle and being a worthy opponent. We will represent the Western Conference well and will not let you guys down. At the end of the day us W.C. folks have to stick together. Kudos on your 4 titles, much respect due. Now let's have us some Boston cream pie!

[ImmortalD24]

Thanks a lot guys! It was one hell of a series! :toast

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

To be fair, the Lakers bench really stepped up tonight - no choking at all to help Kobe out , so props to them.

[honestfool84]

+1

[mytespurs]

Fuck...I live in lakerland...

So do I! p: But the better team-LA Lakers won and they earned it. So congrats to the Lakers.
As for me, I'm going to hibernate until my favorite sport, pro football, rears its head again in July. I hope my Dolphins are much improved from 2007 :lolI

The Spurs loss.....it hurts right now but it'll get better; it's not the end of the world. I still love the Spurs no matter what and the championship pic from 2007 will remain on my desktop at work no matter who wins the NBA championship (probably the Lakers) :)

[YellowFever]

U better recognize! hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!

Have some friggin class, you troll.

'tards like you give us bad reputations.


Spurs Fans, Thanks for the gracious words and let's make the next few years what the beginning of this decade was.

I want to see Duncan and Kobe killing each other on the court for the next few years.

Man, this forum is great....

Alot of really classy Spur fans...alot of Spur trolls..... I love it! :toast

[JWest596]

Enjoy your riots, it's been six years if you beat the Celtics/Pistons.

[carina_gino20]

Congrats to the Lakers. They outplayed the Spurs. Phil outcoached Pop.

[Tradition]

Thank you for the props. I really do respect the hell out of the spurs. They are a great team and they have class. Pistons will be joining the fishing line very soon. It is inevitable. Rip is having elbow issues, Billups is sluggish, Sheed is 1 tech away from getting suspended, Flip is the head coach, and these are pretty much the same Pistons who have folded in the conference finals the past 2 years.

Celtics vs Lakers is going to happen. It is not a matter of if but a matter of when.

[KOBES81]

I have to admit. I came on this forum after the game tonight expecting to read a bunch of poor sported sour grape posts. Just as I have with our previous playoff opponents. And then I was gonna gloat and rub the Spurs fans noses in it. I was wrong. After reading 99.99% of this thread, I am truly humbled and impressed. I have never seen anything like this on any other sports forum. Those of you who reached out and offered congratulations to the Lakers have shown real class and good sportsmanship that every sports fan could learn from. I'm used to posting some searing parting shots and eulogies to opposing teams. Because of the "real gentlemen" posts on this thread I can in no way bring myself to do such a thing. So, instead I'm gonna thank you for having me as a guest on this forum and for making the series more fun and meaningful. I look forward to another series in the future. You have shown this corner of the internet what being a true Champion really means.

[Mr Brown]

Congrats

[Lionheart_Turiaf21]

IMHO.. Manu could've done better.. Blame the Jammed Ankle, Nailless finger.. If Manu showed up in this series like he did in the regular season, he would've given us a hell of a challenge...

[timvp]

Props to Jerry West and the Lakers for the great trade. :tu

Both teams played hard.

[der Kaiser]

The board, like the majority of the posters here are class and top notch. I too have a lot of respect for this Spurs franchise from top to bottom. This Spurs team is not dead as long as you have Duncan and Pop running the show.

[tlim]

Come on folks. Jerry West was not part of Memphis when the trade happened. He left since before the year started.

It's Lurch and Ainge who totally screwed the pooch for the TPups and made the Celtics a huge contender in the east.

[aka_USAPA]

Props to Jerry West and the Lakers for the great trade. :tu



It's all about the hook-up. ;)

[jmill]

Just relieved it's over, I hate playing the Spurs but I actually like everyone on this Spurs team except for Robert Horry. Man I can't stand him.

gg Spurs, I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of you guys next year as well.

[pakzz]

next target= Celtics/Pistons :toast

I feel dirty just communicating with L.A vermin.
Only good part of this series being over, hopefully don't have to read more sappy fake sportsmanship b.s from Laker fan.
If fans from ANY other team were propping my Spurs after eliminating them I would humbly accept.
But, any and all things Laker after the Magic, Kareem era, are in my book inherently evil.
I just can't bring myself to have a rapport with fans that root for such a pompous, egomaniacal, wife cheating (well just one guy as far as we know I'll give you that), shit talking group of players.
Okay, thanks for the kind words, blah blah, good luck (not really, hopefully your best player is diminished by injury and fatigue, so he can finally pay some dues like Manu has), and please kindly fuck right off.
Go Pistons!!!

What do you have against Michael Jordan?
