There may not be a 7. I swear, the God of sports has to be laughing in my face. 3 of my 3 teams that were in a Final forced a game 6...2 lost, we'll see how this one goes. I want this team to win more than the others :(
Pittsburgh and... ?

Just holding on won't cut it. Gotta keep playing tough and work on keeping the leads and playing better defense if they wanna force a Game 7

AHL Calder Cup Finals, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins went down 3-0, forced a game 6, lost 5-2.

I really don't want this Game 6 to be a kick in the ass for me. I'm gonna watch it, and I want to like what I see.

Not just the bench, if they wanna win they have to do it as a team, meaning everyone needs to step up and have a good game.

4th quarter is when all the play stops, especially in a close game like Game 5 was.

Yeah but do you realize how the bench usually are the ones who give up our leads every time? Like come on, what goods a lead if you lose it right away?

Honestly I can't see why everybody thinks the Lakers have such a good bench. I like Farmar, I think he'll be good someday, but Vujacic and Walton are seriously overrated. Turiaf is garbage as well...

No dip<Censored> man. I'm talkin about how he is all agressive and in the 4th he's just there.
He had 4 fouls going into the 4th and then quickly got a 5th...he didn't want to foul out

Vujacic is good when he's hot. But i agree with turiaf and walton. Jew mamba will be a beast in a couple of years.

Yeah.. he's always done that though. Whenever the games on the line, he never takes any shots. Whenever he gets the ball he usually tries to get an open just for someone else because thats just how he plays. Analysts are always complaining about that <Censored>, i think it's because he doesn't have enough self-confidence to do it, but that's just me.

AMEN!

Vujacic is fine when he's playing like he did in Game 3, but if his shots not falling, he lets it seriously effect his confidence and that translates into him playing worse defense.
