2009 NBA Finals Thread

[The Young One]

And let us not forget lakers have HCA.

 

[RipCity32]

Lets look at the magic options. Dwight,White Jesus,Shard, Pietrus when he is hot. Skip when he actually plays decent.

Now lets look at LA. Pau, Bynum,LO,Trev,Kobe, Jordan and SB have been solid all playoffs. And if sasha and d-fish finally get their jumpers straight. They cant be left open at all.

You forgot Lee for the Magic. Gortat has also been solid. Alston should do fairly well against Fish.

Bynum shouldn't be considered for the Lakers lol. And like you said "if" for Sasha and Fisher. Brown is also a stretch.

 

[RipCity32]

Pau wont be guarding him. It will be Bynum. And pau can draw d12 out the paint. Pau is a excellent mid range shooter for a big.

I never said he was going too.

And I'm sure Shard or Hedo would guard Pau..... Both being almost as tall and more athletic.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Pau's Caucasian js, so caucasian that it's amazin

lol

I love SVG btw, he has a swag and an idgaf if you dont like me attitude, im gonna act like this anyways attitude.

 

[RipCity32]

SVG isn't a very good coach IMO lol.
Would of probably been fired if the Magic didn't advance this far.

 

[The Young One]

Pau would work them in the post. And if the play LO at the 3 with pau and bynum in. ORL would have trouble. Brown isnt really a if. He has played solid ball all the playoffs. He was a key in LA winning game 5.

 

[RipCity32]

TYO you act like the Lakers are the best defensive team in the league lol.

And I honestly don't know why you'd be rooting for LA. Shouldn't you root for Orlando since they beat your 76ers?

 

[The Young One]

Fukk orlando. Im riding with da god kobe on this one. And you forget bean is from philly. Fukk would i root for dwight no post moves howard and the orlando tragic for. Only player i like on that squad is white jesus and skip.

 

[RipCity32]

Because me and many people probably don't want to see the Lakers win yet another title. And I hate Kobe.

Let the Magic get theirs.

 

[Mexi]

Magic in 3

SMH LeBron not shaking hands and not talking to the media

can you guys imagine if Kobe pulled that ish?
DAMN. off with his head, right?

x2. The Lakers have won too much, I want to see an underdog win it once again.

 

[MapleLeaf]

14 titles, making there 30th finals appearance, favorite
0 titles, making their 2nd finals appearance, underdog

It's easy to pick who most will be cheering for

 

[Mexi]

it's all good.
everyone picks against the Lakers. LOL if I wasn't a fan from birth, I would hate them too lol
I always root against Duke, UNC, Red Sox, Yankees, ND, etc etc

 

[Mexi]

i'm not picking this series, but i'm obviously rooting for my squad

 

[MapleLeaf]

wtf game 1 isn't till Thursday?

 

[Lake Louise]

Wow. Game 1 of the Stanley Cup was very early, as in tonight, and now Game 1 of the NBA Finals isn`t for a long time.

 

[Mexi]

hockey is a myth though

 

[cruzg24]

hockey is a myth though

Whats Hockey?

 

[MapleLeaf]

I just realized ever since mexi has joined SI, everything in LA has gone right

Dodgers and Lakers are the best team in there sports lol, both make the big moves (Pau, Manny)

 

[Mexi]

i'm not gonna lie, i took the Shaq/Kobe dynasty for granted. Once i really started to follow bball, i was like wow, i cant believe the 2 best players are on my team

'04 hurt
'08 hurt

i really really want to win. i cant take it
woe is me
