Lakers-Celtics Final Is No Guarantee (Fox Sports)

[ClingingMars]

Mars it's not your ing job or place to give a about the quality of my life. I don't know you and really, you know next to nothing about me. Given that fact, it is not moral for you to meddle in or judge the affairs of my personal life. You don't get to act like a moral policeman in other peoples' lives because you make the excuse that you care about them. Especially when we're talking about somebody you know nothing about. My quality of life is great BTW.

mmk, then i guess we should shut down all charities and homeless shelters cause people shouldn't ever care about other people!!!

I hate to tell you this mars, but you are not being charitable. Rather you are someone who is making insulting insuations and bigoted remarks about marijuana users. Don't confuse your mean-spirited and intrusive behavior regarding marijuana use with compassion or charity for the homeless.

ok, it's mean-spirited and intrusive to care about people who are ruining their life with drugs...i get it.

Mars- you don't care. What part of constantly attacking/ridiculing my decision are you confusing with caring. If you really cared you'd probably send me some info on a treatment center, repectfully tell me why you disagree and then you'd let the issue rest.

As it is making jokes about not being able to smoke weed through braces and referring to me as nothing but "pothead" is neither caring nor compassionate. In fact, I think you once told me to walk in front of a bus because nobody would miss another pothead. Yeah, real compassionate mars. The only thing you care about is being a hurtful , that's what I think.

I recall nothing even close. Link or it didn't happen.

What makes anyone think that Boston-LA would be a an exciting series??? Boston has been a low scoring team in these playoffs and with their D, the Lakers will not be scoring in the 100s very often as well. In fact, Boston scores 4 pts less per game than do our boring Spurs

The only reason to want that series is for nostalgia, for people to relive the fabulous 80's when the NBA was at it's pinnacle.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Why don't both of you just shut the up and agree to disagree? I say this because I care

P.S. Mars, you're trying to convince a pothead that pot is wrong?? WTF? are you serious?? Good luck with that

he whines about his precious pot being illegal wherever he can fit it in, including this thread, it's about time somebody called him out on it.

^ You're right, that was that Harry Callahan.

But again mars, don't make the argument that you should somehow be sanctioned to say what is best for me or for my life. You are not a moral authority, you really aren't. And please, drop the comparison between charity for the homeless and your hatred of marijuana- they are not even close to the same issue. Your legality=morality argument is ed too. Basically, you lack credibility of logic in nearly every argument you've made. If you really cared, you certainly have a ed way of showing it.

All I did was barely mention, in passing reference, another thread regarding Joakim Noah getting arrested and this is what you came back with. I wasn't even complaing about it, just mentioning the thread. Boy, that sure was charitable and compassionate of you mars.

awww the pot head is mad

I don't think it will be necesarrily exciting, but it's already been proven in 2005that SA/DET was awful. I don't really care which boring team comes out of the east, but I do know that the triangle, Kobe (AKA the best athlete/player in the NBA) and a team that was top five in scoring is going to stand a better chance than the Spurs of making the series interesting to watch.

it kills brain cells and other , but if people are dead set on destroying themselves, you can't really do anything but fight it as much as you can.

- Mars

You've been watching too many public service announcements. There have been tons of highly successful marijuana users despite the alleged "bad side effects". The list is long and distinguished: Josh Howard, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Jenna Bush, Laura Bush, Ricky Williams, Dave Chapelle, Snoop Dogg, The cast of TV's 7th Heaven, etc. I would go on but I'm starting to forget what I'm writing about.


In all honesty, smoking weed is no worse than drinking alcohol. But I'm guessing you're against drinking and probably pre-marital sex as well.

because this is a forum, so i don't have a real way of expressing my care to anyone. I can work at park place and wherever else and help people out with all sorts of problems the best I can, but when it comes down to it, I can't help you. I was just sick of you inserting your opinion about pot in every single post you make.

it was in sarcastic jest, a joke. please don't tell me you took that seriously.

^ Plus, it doesn't kill brain cells. Again, that was just mars talking about something he is in actuality completely ignorant about. What it does mars is clog up neuro-synapsi and thicken cell walls. It doesn't kill anything- that would be meth.

SA/DET wasn't awful. As a spurs fan I thoroughly enjoyed it and Game 5 was probably one of the best finals games ever.

I bet if you rewatched the series after toking up and with Pink Floyd playing in the background you would enjoy it a little more.

Okay at least you admit it. But realize mars I rarely mention weed. The only reason I was even talking about it is because an NBA player was arrested for it. Go back and look at all my posts, put together a statistical analysis of how many mention marijuana rights and then get back to me, but don't accuse me of mentioning it in every post I make because nothing could be further from the truth.

The last minutes of games 5,6 and 7 were exciting, but lets be honest here- a series featuring four blowouts and an average score of 85 does leave at least something to be desired.

[MarceloM!]

That's all you ever say- "it's illegal"

Legalize IT! let's the people decide about use it or not and don't treat them as criminals. Criminals are those invading countries and killing innocent people.

[EVAY]

I don't really care who comes out of the East because they both barely score, but if the Spurs make it I'm boycotting the finals for the 2nd year in a row.

We'll surely miss you.

[balli]

We'll surely miss you.

And everybody else- again:

Game 1: SAS 84, DET 69

Game 2: SAS 97, DET 76

Game 3: DET 96, SAS 79

Game 4: DET 102, SAS 71

Game 5: SAS 96, DET 95 (OT)

Game 6: DET 95, SAS 86

Game 7: SAS 81, DET 74

Ooooooh, captivating. Look the one team even managed to barely break 100 in one of those games. Nevermind that it was a 30 point difference. And the 4 low-scoring blowouts were just incredibly awesome. And do you remember Robert Horry's dunk? I mean there weren't any other cool plays in that series, but hey, watching a washed up cheap shot artist get one slam, made it all soooooo worth it! And the 85 ppg average was just great too, cause I just hate it when teams get out in transition and try to actively score points. I remember watching those games and having like so. much. fun. Yessir, Kobe, athleticism or highlights, I just want me some Bowen on Rip Hamilton. I can't wait to see a bunch of missed shots and box-outs for defensive rebounds, because that's what I watch basketball for. I like to see who can try to score the least, but still win the game. Can you say exciting people!

[Mr. Body]

Yes! It doesn't even count as a basketball game unless somebody scores 100 points!

[balli]

Yes! It doesn't even count as a good basketball series unless somebody occasionally scores 100 points without having 4, 20-30 pt blow outs!

Fixed.

huh, that was one the most compe ive Finals series in years. but what do you know, youre a jazz fan

If you want to call an average point differential of 21 and four blowouts compe ive, be my guest.

I mean, I really didn't know two boring and low scoring teams turning the finals into a best of three with an 87 ppg average was considered one of the most compe ive NBA events in years.
