    i have a feeling that Ron Artest is going to choke in game 7 and somehow lose the game for the lakers....i dont know it just seems too unreal. haha

    This is my thinking too. Him getting hot yesterday could be a double edged sword for the Lakers meaning that he may be trigger happy Thursday when he doesn't need to be. I mean if he is still hitting fine, but I don't expect him to keep shooting like that.

    Closing seconds of game 7, Lakers up 2, Celtics inbound the ball, it's a busted play, ball knocked out past the 3 point line, picked up by Michael Finley who rises for the jumper and...BANG goes the dynamite.

    Man what is more annoying than getting waxed tonight is seeing all these Celtic nut huggers holding onto false hope. Guys if Boston was going to win this series, they would have done it tonight. Destiny is not on their side. Plus that Perkins knee injury looks bad. I don't see how any of you can be so confident in the Celts right now.
    I'm not quitting until the season is over. There's only one game left. Plenty of time to be disappointed if they lose Game 7. No f'ing way I'm giving up before then.

    I'll say now that I'm almost 100% sure that the Game 7 officials will be:

    Dan Crawford
    Bennett Salvatore
    Scott Foster

    I would personally like to thank you for ensuring a Laker victory in this series.

    What Laker fan denies those advantages?

    NY, LA, Chicago are always going to have those advantages as big markets. Boston too to some extent.

    The Lakers have the added advantage of being an attractive destination -- well run, historic, glamorous, etc. Helped bring Shaq no doubt. Probably Malone and Payton, too, though that didn't end well.

    Where your whine runs dry is in overlooking that much of this advantage has been mitigated by the new CBA. Superstars don't change teams via FA much anymore. It has been a long time since a superstar signed with LA because of the reasons you gave.

    The NBA, like life, is not entirely fair. It will never be. I think the league has a duty to make compe ion as level a playing field as possible, but it can't make LA mid-market or unglamorous. It can't make NY obscure or a boring place to live. Why fans of SA and other small- and mid-market teams don't just appreciate overcoming that obstacle and enjoying it rather than whining about it doesn't quite add up to me.

    I say this as a fan of the Minnesota Twins. Mid-market, the Yankees have innumerable advantages over them. Ain't fair and throw in a CBA that doesn't protect compe ion like the NBA does and it's almost comical. Just makes me appreciate 1987 and 1991 all the more.
    Plenty. Most of you act as if the Lakers are what they are based on the fact that they're just better and smarter than everyone else, like everything they've done is their doing and not largely based on myriad other factors.

    Where your whine runs dry is the Gasol "trade". Maybe superstars don't change teams via free agency much anymore, but they do via trade and they've also been known to attempt to control where they end up in the draft, such as a certain arrogant puke some fourteen years ago. I know it's been a long time since a superstar signed with the Lakers because of the reasons I gave, which is why I said "if you want to go back far enough".

    It's one thing to overcome that obstacle when the playing field is relatively even, but when they have a front line that's like men against boys compared to almost every other team, the margin for error is almost zilch. And on top of that front line, they also happen to have a top two-three players in the league on the perimeter. It would be one thing if they cultivated that front line legitimately, but in the case of one of them, the best one of the three, they didn't. Everyone knows it and it's completely altered the landscape of the league since.

    Had this happened for an obscure small market franchise, I don't think anyone would suspect any wrongdoing, but the Lakers? Conveniently it happened the following season after the previous summer that diva (who happens to be one of the two biggest stars in the league, so obviously they didn't want him leaving their precious Lakers) whined for more help or else he wanted to be traded. Come on, it was all too convenient and to anyone without bias and with a brain, highly su ious.

    Pretty close. It's Joey Crawford, Danny Crawford, and Scott Foster.

    Figured they wouldn't give Joey a 3rd game, since no official had worked 3 games in a single Finals since 1994.

    It's Joey's third straight Game 7 -- he was on the crew for the Game 7's in 1994 and 2005.
