On the ESPN web site, Aldridge has a decent article about the officiating, how the pendulum swung so wildly from game to game on how the refs called fouls. Now I have to watch Sho-b**** "Be Like Mike" in his designer shades hoisting another trophy. Ugh.
ROX, If there's one positive from these NBA Finals, it's that Kenyon Martin can do to Kobe Bryant what Kobe did to Mike Bibby at the end of game 6. Go Kenyon!
I don't know how a team that came within one game of the Finals "sucks", that's ridiculous! It's also ridiculous to say they choked, the game went overtime! Inexperience hurt the Kings, period. That's the bottomline. Webber actually played a pretty good series. People wonder where Webber was in the second half, he had to guard Shaq because Divac was in foul trouble. Considering how undersized he was it took a lot out of him, especially with Shaq bowling through him. For an inexperienced team I think they did a pretty good job, and they never quit. That's all you can ask for. The people saying they "suck" and they "choke" act like they were just playing some other team. They were playing the 2-time defending world champions. If it was anybody else the Kings win. But experience got the Lakers through.
Sacramento choked. It is even worst of a choke job because Sacramento did not choke, because they missed of a bunch of easy/semi contested game action shots. No they misses "FREE THROWS" That is a choke job. San Antonio flat out sucks because they can' t make the game shots. That is lack of skill. Sacramento does not suck they just choked!!!
In the fourth quarter, San Antonio missed the same exact shots that they had made for the first three quarters. That's not sucking; they've made the shots before. That's choking.
I wouldn't mind Kenyon shattering Kobe's arm on a dunk. That maniac. I'd like to see what Shaq would do to Kenyon too. Anything would look more exciting than the slaughterhouse coming up...
I live in Sacramento, and I'm one of those that believes most of the series was fixed... However, Game 7 was certainly NOT FIXED. The Kings got plenty of free throws and missed 14. The Lakers were the better team. But that doesn't mean that Sacramento shouldn't have won the series. Game 6 was a totally robbery.
