T'Wolves - Lakers

IronMan4 · April 25, 2003

I think I'm gonna puke.

This is why I hate the NBA. I honestly don't know why I watch anymore.

As I am typing this, it is OT and KG fouled out. Shaq has one foul. He stands under the basket and elbows and bullies and gets one foul. Kobe's four point play at the end was a gift from the refs, nobody TOUCHED him! Then Rick pretty boy Fox grabs Sczrbiacks jersey and they call out of bounds. Complete BS. Danny Ainge said it was tragic, and as far as the the whole world and what we are going through with the war and everything, that may not be the best word in that context, but for inside the world of basketball, it is.

I hate the NBA because you look at a matchup and you know who will get the important calls and who won't. The T'Wolves didn't have a chance. The refs aren't gonna call $h!t on Kobe or Shaq, especially in LA. The refs stole game 6 against Sacramento last year, and looks like the same will happen here.

I hope the Minnesota scrubs can pull off the upset, they deserve it.

The T-Wolves somehow beat the Lakers in OT without KG. A bunch of role players pulled it off. That's as much heart as you will see in an NBA game. They deserved this win, and if they hadn't won, I might have honked some chunks, see the above post if you don't believe me.

I'm with ya man. There is a serious conspiracy going on in the NBA. It started when the Bulls broke up and the NBA was left spinning with no reason what so ever to watch. Then came the Lakers. All of the sudden the ratings go back up and the NBA starts calling them the greatest team ever. It was so bad that this year, half way through the damn season, they CHANGE THE DAMN RULES for the playoffs to give the Lakers more time to win the first round because they might not be as good as last year. How can anyone stand by and let this happen? It is one thing if they change the rule during the off season but changing it in the middle of the season is just a flat out atrocity.

F*** the Lakers, Go T-Wolves. T-Wolves in 5 (maybe 6

How about O'Neal sealing the Lakers' loss by making a free throw that he was TRYING TO INTENTIONALLY MISS !

Priceless !

That rule change was announced last year during the playoffs. No conspiracy theory is applicable.

Who is leading the series?

UNT96 · April 25, 2003

Well it was put on the agenda last year but was changed half way through the season this year. Come on Court, give me this conspiracy theory so I can hate the Lakers even more

IronMan4 · April 25, 2003

The strongest point to a conspiracy is that Shaq's whole game is based on what by rule is an offensive foul and he plays a whole game and an OT only recieving one foul.

Now that I have slept on it and calmed down, it was one helluva game last night, worth staying up for.

CMJ · April 25, 2003

Hey man, I hate the Lakers too...I'm just saying.

Now I think Minnesota has a legitimate shot to win the series. I like the T-Wolves in Game 5 back home, so at the very least I think we're headed for Seven.

More fuel for our conspiracy theory Aaron. If the Mavs or Cuban makes a comment like those than we get fined. If the Lakers say it then it MUST be true so Stern admits that they miss calls. Complete BS. YThe rules should be the same for everyone. Problem is Dallas became the the little piggy that cried wolf and now they can't even complain when it is legitimate.
