Okay, this synopsis will be short. Considering that Karl Malone has been instrumental in helping to end several careers by causing injuries and/or aiding in the physical decline of others... it is poetic justice that his injuries are seeming to play a big role in his own strain of the Lakers team not succeeding thus far in the series vs. the Pistons. Here's to the full poem being written. Go Pistons!
Does anybody have Karl's e-mail address? Send him this link. He's going to have to find another way to buy a ring soon: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=204&item=5102177555&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
We do realize that had there been a hard foul on the last regulation play in game 2... it would be a sweep, right? But that's Karl's style of play. And what did that style get him?
After the Rockets lost, I didn't care who won, as long as Malone didn't get a ring. It looks like the basketball gods are getting back at Malone for years of dirty and dangerous play.
A much better lingering hell than just slipping off into retirement. Couldn't happen to a more deserving waste of carbon molecules.
