2009 NBA Finals Thread

I really dont like to hear:

"If this play or this series of plays did happen, it would be a whole nother series"

The Magic missed an easy alley at the end of Game 2, and gave up a lead at the end of the game last night, and its nobodies fault but their own.

The whole point of it is how you play not only during the game but in crunch time, we heard it in the Cavs series and we're hearing it now.

It doesn't look good for the Magic but they aren't done yet imo, they could still make a series out of it. They've been right there in every game but game 1 so we know they can compete. They just need to close out better.

Man how lucky can the Lakers get. Yao gets injured and they barely escape the Rockets, then they are lucky enough to get the Magic in the finals, and for Lee to miss the shot in game 2, and then somehow Kobe hasnt been suspended at all and wont be even though he rocked Nelson in the jaw on the second most crucial play of the game and there was no call. It may be a luck championship, but enjoy it anyway mexi.

If Pietrus gets suspended and Kobe doesnt, <Censored> the NBA tbh.

What?

That wasnt an intentional elbow lol and the series could very well be over lol everyone wants to look at it from the Magics "only if" point of view lol

 

[I'm With ATL]

What?

That wasnt an intentional elbow lol

O_O

just like the other 100 he threw this playoffs weren't intentional either?

 

[The Young One]

Are you gonna act like dwight doesnt throw elbows. As a sixers fan ive seen him. He did it to dally a a lot.

Dwight got suspended a game, Kobe hasnt.

I'm not a Magic fan by no means.

 

[The Young One]

But you seem to be aggy cuz bean is gonna get his 4th ring. It wasnt intentional. Your really reaching.

Hell yeah look how lucky the Lakers got this playoffs. You saying that elbow wasnt intentional is like Charles Barkley saying Pietrus foul at the end of the game wasnt intentional.

 

[Mexi]

lol how lucky the Lakers got?

They never lost back to back games. Thats not luck.

and the kobe elbow wasnt intentional. it was a perfect no call. nelson got into his space before he even knew he was there. like TYO said, your reaching

 

[dez]

Im not a Lakers fan but all this hating urks me

Nelson ran into that elbow if anything, by no means was intentional.

 

[Mexi]

dez, it's sickening sometimes.

its not like the Magic were favored to win by anybody.
We had the 2nd best Laker record EVER, and missed the best NBA record this season by 1 game.

Orlando is fortunate to have gotten this far.

whatever, ATL can go slit his wrists while the Lakers are kissing their rings

right, and got LUCKY not having to play the team with the best record. You can argue the elbows all you want, theres a million of em, no way were they all accidents.

What I don't like... is the sudden articles about Derek Fisher. OH-HO the veteran Derek Fisher hits another big clutch shot in his playoffs career!! Alright!!

I'm fcking glad he did, probably woudn't have won without him, but damn people are suddenly swearing this guy has the Big Shot Rob factor to him. Horry stayed consistent throughout his career, even when he got old, and still hit big shots. Fisher's horrible, weather it's luck or being clutch, old man needs to go regardless of what happens these playoffs.

He meant this year. Not the all-time record.

And the Cavs couldnt beat the team the Lakers are currently facing andleading 3-1. So that logic is ridiculous.

Exactly my thinking.

The Lakers would have been an easier opponent then the Magic for the Cavs. We do not match up good at all against the Magic. Not saying we would have beat the Lakers in a 7 game series but it wouldn't be as tough as facing the Magic for us.

 

[I'm With ATL]

Exactly my thinking.

They wouldnt of even played Orlando if KG didnt get injured, it'd have been Boston/Cleveland.
