I also think Spurs will win again tonite, Game 4. Spurs are unstoppable @ home. The Lakers will have to prove they're worthy against the defending champs. I hope Lakers do it.

I want the Celtics in the East. For the classic matchup. Magic vs Bird days... its been awhile.

It's official....Sports Illustrated wants to see Pistons/Spurs in the Finals.

My Lakers got out of San Antonio with the well-deserved win, even though they let the Spurs hang around 'till the end. I knew it would end the way it would, close and nerve-racking, but the W is all that counts. The Lakers now just need to close out back home, and I would prefer they do it in emphatic fashion.

It looks like Ginobili blew his wad in Game 3, because he played like ass tonight. Simultaneously, Odom played well and came through big at the end. That was the difference.

Derick Fisher was back to his old self to. The Lakers will be a very hard team to beat, they just have too many veteran weapons and are still a young team.

Fuck! such a close game last night up to the end. There were some calls the refs missed and some bad calls as usual. Oh well, not the first time refs make bad calls or miss something. Ginobli also has not been performing like he should and that has been hurting the Spurs.

I dont believe there has been one time in history that the Spurs have come back from a 3-1 situation but there is always a first time for everything. I know it is a way long shot and prob wont happen but the Spurs are not just going to give up.

I kinda like that the Spurs now realize what it is like to be on the other side of the bad call's refs make, it is a sweet irony to me. I normally would vote for the Spurs because I loved the Robbinson/Elliot Spurs of old but fuck they have gotten away with so much crap over the last few years. This is just lovely to me. Go Lakers!!!

Ya they got robbed of the call but so did the Lakers when the ball grazed the rim and got called for the 24 second violation. I don't feel sorry for the Spurs one bit.

I am anticipating a dirty play by Horry to bring the Spurs back to life though.

Ladies, gentlemen, and haters alike.....the Lakers are back where they belong.



BOW DOWN TO GOD!!!!!!!

If that pic was from the playoffs last year, well.. they lost lol. After going up 3-1 too

[Salvy_Mic]

I know, but that was the best picture of Kobe I could find where he's still wearing the #24. Besides, in a way, it's my way of brushing off D'Antoni's statement at the beginning of this season...."it's alright, we'll bust 'em in the playoffs like usual."

And for the record, the 3-1 thing was from 2 years ago bro. But this trip to the Finals definitely makes up for it. All I need now is for the Celtics to hold up their end of destiny.

[MONSONBYCHOKE]

Celtics need this tonight!!!!! I was at game 5 and if they pull the same shit as last game i am going to have a stroke
