    Best draft of the night - Joe Crawford to LAL

    When your team starts winning you start getting bandwagoners and you start getting some not so basketball smart fans start rooting for their teams. So you will get a spectrum of fans who become vocal with a succesful team, even with not so successful teams you will start getting them. There...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    Welcome to the club :) I think LA or Bos finish the series in 6 but I wouldnt be surprised with 7. Stern doesnt really care about common sense anymore

    More Donaghy -- Alleging NBA Fixed Game 6 Series in 2002?

    I 100% believe and believed even while the game was going on that it was a conscious decision.

    More Donaghy -- Alleging NBA Fixed Game 6 Series in 2002?

    Its about perception. When Shaq plays a game in his prime taking only one free throw attempt all game and fouls out, even if it was against the mighty Vlade Divac and Scott Polard is kind of strange. Add to that the out of bounds play (if it was today maybe the league would come out and say they...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    how they convince all of us. Game 2 was called heavily in favor of the celts and game 3 in favor of the lakers, yet people tend to believe it was fairly called. As I predicted in the game 3 thread, the lakers had that 5-10 point lead pretty much the whole game except for a few minutes when...

    Who takes game 3?

    J crawford seems to be the ref, lakers win this one. Game will be close in the sense that there will not be a lead of 20 or so, it will be 5-10 point lead for lakers and they will hold on to win.

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    So you believe the scripts of the brave little soldier but not Pierce ;) Either you believe there are no scripts in the nba , which would mean that Pierce did not play to a script , which should mean that the brave little soldier is not acting to scripts. Or you should believe that the...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    Maybe I missed it, did they show in replays where it was "clearly visible". I am not saying he faked it or didnt, but I dont recall any replays that were conclusive. I remember only the halfcourt angle replay which they showed many times. Did you see a different angle, perkins bumped into him...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    Its one game :) Stern will want this to go atleast 6 games, most likely the next game lakers would win, then we will talk about how Kobe was unguardable, how Odom is a mismatch for the celts etc. Both teams have good talent and can win on a given night, it depends how the refs manage the...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    I will not disprespect any post by saying it is big ***, if it was I will choose to ignore that post. Anyways I will give it one more shot since it was the first time, Denver being the worst defensive team in the playoffs - You are comfortably ignoring the regular season which was long enough...

    [LAL/BOS]Battle of the top seeds!!

    1. Typically teams are judged by how they play for the whole season and there is a reason why people judge teams based on number of wins in a season. Sometimes it is not a real indicator but it is rare and many a times because of an extended non availability of a star player during the regular...

    Possible NBA Finals Matchups

    Is Popovic the best coach in the NBA today? Horry thinks so.

    hope, really really hope this is not a precursor for the next round discussions

    Steroid use in the NBA? (split from K-Mart thread)

    I would have doubted Bron, but him signing up for olympics erased that doubt. Olympics tests are not controlled by stern and are pretty random. If at all anything the chinese will try to tested all the players from nba. Oh by your analogy, given that most chinese you see are 5'-5'6" Yao must...

    [SAS/NOH] - who will Bowen injure now ?

    I am not a spurs fan by any means :) and most of you know my laker ties. I want the spurs to lose this series badly, not because I think the lakers can beat the hornets easily, its just because I cant stand the spurs for various reasons (Duncan has never committed a foul in his life, floppy gino...
