What a boring Finals...

[diego]

what a tired, stupid argument. this place has become so infested with talking laker groupies though that I will stir the pot:

nets lakers was just as bad, though I thoroughly enjoyed pistons - lakers and celtics - lakers. even though they were ass whoopings like nets lakers and cavs spurs, the pistons and celtics played physical team basketball that made the lakers nuts shrivel, twas very entertaining.

and since tv ratings are so important to you laker fans... has a team with kobe on it (we wont say kobe-lead because there just isnt enough of a sample size) ever had more than 20 million viewers? because the Jordan (lead) bulls averaged 25 million. as far as I can tell kobe's best was 2001 with just under 19M, and Im sure that had nothing to do with MVP allen iverson or that shaq guy

I guess this means Kobe only needs 4 mvps, 5 finals mvps, 2 rings, 1 gold medal, a DPOY and 5 million more viewers to reach MJ status. which means that if all goes well, kobe can be the goat in only 5 years! please, hold your breath till this happens.

"What a boring Finals" can be said for just about any Finals this decade with 2005 being the exception. 2005 was really the only series to have two evenly matched opponents giving it their all with no controversy.

Every other Finals this decade has either had...

1. Weaksauce opponents from the Eastern Conference (2000-2003, 2007),
2. Controversy (2006)
3. Opponents who rolled over and died like es (2004 Lakers, 2008 Lakers and 2009 Magic).

On second thought I'll give 2006 a pass. While that series was marred by controversy and people whining about the officiating the series was still entertaining lol.

Exactly my point.

2005 was definitely the most compe ive and evenly matched.

2005 was truly glorious. One for the ages. I'm shocked that it's so underrated. Man that was just so epic looking back at those rosters definitely two of the top teams of the decade.

oh brother, as if the lakers finals in '00,'01, or '02 (or '04 lol)were such thrilling series....and anyways the spurs' '05 finals was the best finals of the last 15 years so CHEW ON MY FECAL MATTER

yes they were the best teams of the decade. but they came from smaller, unflashy markets so the league had to intervene in order to stop an inevitable spurs pistons rematch. and after their puppet replacement teams(dallas, miami) got humiliated in '07 and the spurs crushed all agian, they had to intervene again to put a stop to it once and for all by setting up a series of events that can only be described as shocking, unforseen coincidences that miraculously resulted in the re-establishment of the two biggest market rivalry franchises into unstoppable powerhouses literally overnight after each had previously endured years of mediocrity....at the same exact time...completely by chance of course.
