.4

[word]

Shaq nailed the line perfectly...

One lucky shot deserves another. We lost that series and if you want to take the good with Sir Charles 'The best team always wins a 7 game series', you also have to take the bad.

For all of you 'if only .4 seconder what iffers' don't ever use the 'Best Team Always Wins a 7 Game Series', otherwise you're nothing but a faker.

It was one game of a seven game series which we lost. No more, no less. Let it go.

.4 is when Derek Fisher made a game winning shot in Game 5 on the 2004 Western Conference semi-finals against the San Antonio Spurs, that allowed the Los Angeles Lakers to take a 3 games to 2 lead in the 7 game series.

happens, and life goes on.

What are these "Lakers" you speak of?

Are they a powerboat racing team? Or are they a combination of Court TV and Toyota commercials - some sort of ad agency?

who cares about .4. yeah the lakers won the series and now have nothing to show for it because they got by a better team.

Just like the Spurs got owned by a better team, the Lakers!

i don't consider six games in a seven series owned, but, whatever you say bud. oh yeah, hows the fishing going?

We caught a big fish named Phil. You know, threepeat x's three, nine x world champion HOF coach Phil. We're expecting the summer catch to be a little bigger maybe aroundddd draft day or so. We're hoping to get lucky like you guys did with D. Rob and Duncan. You know how it goes.

[Jdspur20]

i guess you missed that fish called shaq, you know that guy that won you 3 championships back to back to back? sorry, kobe's 60 fg atempts a night don't scare me, he could score 40 a night and the lakers still loose.

[Jdspur20]

listen, we could sit here and argue all night, but the fact is, the lakers are not a factor right now. until you guys make the playoffs, then you can talk. otherwise, face the fact that where the best team in the nba right now.

It's just ironic to me Spurs fan's talk about fishing and the draft when that's how they got Robinson and Duncan.

The only numba 4 that be on our minds till this time next year is the 4th ring.

the bulls found jordan in the draft
the lakers found magic in the draft
the celtics found bird in the draft

My point is Spurs fan's that bring up the lotto issue aren't very intelligent. So we're in the lotto, big deal. It's not like we're there every year. That's how you guys picked up D Rob and Dunan so bringing that up is weak. We are fishing though but we'll be back. Still doesn't change the fact that we whoopped your asses for so many years.

How did I start crap? Go back and read the entire thread. I'm just responding to the bullcrap posted about my team.

im not directing that toward you, i mean in general, if i wanted to direct that towards you i would have said so.

0.4 doesn't hurt so much anymore for one and only one reason... after seeing Detroit up close I'm pretty confident that the 2004 Spurs could not have beaten them in the Finals last season. Hedo just never stepped up when he was needed and there was no Nazr Mohammed. I think that team was by far inferior to this one, and Manu wasn't the player he is now. It's a shame the media will always say 0.4 was the reason the Spurs didn't three-peat, because it disrespects what the Pistons accomplished.

Actually, you're being a jerk. I commented on the shot. You decided to go down to a pathetic level and insult me. You don't know me at all. For all you know, I could be the nicest person in the world. Fact of the matter is, you were rude and your comment was uncalled for. I stated my opinion on that shot. I saw it with my own 2 eyes and saw the replay hundreds of times. It shouldn't have counted. If it hadn't, who knows what happens. Maybe the Spurs win the series and then get slaughtered by the Pistons. I don't know, and frankly I don't care. It's in the past. What's done is done. But, I was happy to see the Lakers lose in the Finals. If that makes me a then fine, but I'm sure deep down you were glad the Pistons lost last night too.
