Bombs from Doc: "I don't know if Rasheed will ever play again."

33% for the Lakers from the field? Is that the worst shooting percentage of a team to shoot in a Finals series clinching game? The Spurs had some ugly games in their Finals but they were never that ty from the field. I know that a win is a win but I wouldn't be proud of my team shooting 33% from the field. Lakers are very lucky that they had help from the refs tonight. A sad thing about the FT totals is that the Celtics almost made 90 percent of their FTs while the Lakers only shot 68 percent.

What was up with Fisher having his hand on Stern's shoulder? Something going on between those two?

This isn't good for Tim's legacy unfortunately.

Well, I continue to be flabbergasted that the Spurs managed to win 4 les against all the breaks that were provided to the Lakers over the years.

Truly an amazing accomplishment over the NBA powers that be.

No doubt about it. We could have five-peated if the NBA gave us calls like this.

Not the league's best moment, considering Stern's "joke" about his dream final being the Lakers vs the Lakers.

Tonight is another example of why I think Kobe will retire with more rings than Jordan -simply because the league really, really really wants that to happen. They got a narrative they're trying to sell.

[Jacob1983]

the rapist. That piece of will never be Jordan. Jordan was 6 for 6 in the Finals. 6 Finals MVPs and 5 NBA MVPs. Kobe is 5 for 7 in the Finals and only has 2 Finals MVPs and 1 NBA MVP.

Kobe was Shaq's . Jordan was never anyone's .

I hate the Spurs and wish them nothing but bad luck but I can admit that they would have won between 8 to 10 les if they had gotten the calls that the Lakers get.

Considering the Spurs were "provided"* the entire careers of two inner-circle HOFers in the span of 8 years, do you really want to point out the luck of the Lakers?

*Provided in the sense of the root of the word, which is the same as the root of "providential," as in divinely granted.

Really? Pray tell which seasons those would be? The injured Duncan year in '00? The utterly destroyed by LA year in '01? How about the 4-1 series losses in '02, '08, and '09? This year's sweep?

Near as I can tell, the first one they'd "deserve" with more fortunate calls would be the '06 season. So you really want to invalidate the absolute high water mark of Mavs franchise history? You do realize that's what your whiny line of reasoning leads to, don't you?

[Jacob1983]

If I recall, I stated the that the Spurs would have won between 8 to 10 les if they had gotten the calls that the Lakers got. In order for that to happen, the Spurs would have to get help from the refs like the Lakers have in the past. Why can't Laker fans just admit that Stern and his zebras help their team?

Did I stutter?

I asked you which of those extra seasons they'd have won les. You are reckoning an extra 4-6 les. So, which seasons?

First on the list would obviously be 2006. Sorry Mavs, your modest franchise high-water mark just dipped even lower.

[DJ Mbenga]

spurs never repeated but tim duncans legacy is fine. look at larry bird.

Who said anything about luck regarding the Lakers? Winning the lottery is luck, collusion is not.

[Killakobe81]

Collusion, conspiracy and ref ing ...

Yall ni$$as have no heart or it must pump that project kool-aid ...

Lakers win again deal with it ...

[freedom&justice]

Congrats LA. I must say I'm quite happy for them, seeing as my favorite team's out in the dumps atm. Didn't really care much for the Celtics, even though they had Sheed.

[Killakobe81]

So where are the Laker fans talking all that trash earlier?

Problems with erectile dysfunction such as premature ejaculation? LOL

Kobe: 5

[Arnold Toht]

It's the put back that is so ing egrecious. Duncan should be beat with a ing stick for missing that 2nd one.

[Buddy Mignon]
