NBA 2008-2009 Season

[Correction]

These are the most exciting conference finals I can remember in years. Both coasts.

[Stee]

Man kobe is exhausted

[Joemomma]

what's that? shoot an airball? don't worry, the refs got your rebound

really that was bullshit

[GRT]

wow, what's this sound?

oh ya, the deafing silence after a laker's win

[Akiyama]

Or people not posting in this thread in general.

Was a good win for the Lakers. I feel like it was a gutcheck game that they needed to win. Now they've taken home court back, and could win Monday.

[Tymon]

Monday is really a win or go home (literally and metaphorically) situation for Denver.

They're not going to win 3 games in a row. They have to win on Monday, or it's all over.

Its the same sound Lakers fans make when they lose. LOL

At least the sound we make when we beat a team doesn't sound like 'HAHAHA TAKE THAT [PLAYER WITH RL ISSUES] HOW ABOUT YOU GO HOME AND [DESCRIPTION OF RL ISSUE] MOAR. LAWLZ I M CLEVAR.'

Total bullshit. That is exactly how Laker fans sound.

Not in this thread. Stay classy, Out-of-Contention.

what's that? got your shot blocked? don't worry, the refs got your loose ball

[Correction]

I'm surprised there isn't more bitching about the officiating in this game, there are some game-changing bad calls going on these last two quarters.

Three freethrows for you!

[TummieGaruda]

Sometimes, Refs are out for some players...

Who knows.

When Duncan can get Doubled T'd for laughing on the sideline, you know the technical foul rules are fucked up.

Joey Crawford had issues with Tim Duncan. In that game, Duncan already got a Technical for arguing with Crawford about an offensive foul call. During the argument Crawford was asking Duncan if he wanted to fight. While Duncan was on the bench, Duncan laughed about a call against his own team and Crawford T'd him up again and was thus ejected. The 2nd T was a personal vendetta against Duncan. The league reviewed it and Crawford was suspended the rest of the season and Duncan was fined $25,000 for his language towards Crawford during the initial argument.

Taunting is possibly the worst fucking call of all time.

Grow the fuck up and take it. Everytime LeBron dunks it and makes faces and starts screaming could be considered taunting by a ref.

but then again, you can't call a tech on lebron

Technicals for taunting in the NBA's eyes is more of a preventive measure. They believe that taunting may cause altercations in a heated game. This is why Kobe got T'd up after he hit that jumper over Shane Battier saying "You can't guard me". I know that taunting is a part of basketball out on the streets, but the NBA is trying hard to remove that element because they don't want another Palace Brawl v2 to occur (which was escalated by Artest Taunting Wallace, then a fan throwing a cup of beer at Artest)

Man kobe is exhausted

That is what I cannot stand about the Evil 4 letter network (ESPN)...they have to get interviews right after the end of a game when a player is exhausted and they won't even let them catch their breath. They pulled the same BS at some track and field event after some guy won the 800 meters he was visibly exhausted yet they just had to go in and get an interview and the guy was just gasping for breath while the reporter was throwing stupid questions at them like "How are you feeling at this very moment?".

[Tymon]

Los Angeles Fakers sure came out to play tonight

[Kyo]

The Birdman is exciting to watch.

[Dimmauk]

wow, what's this sound?

Fixed.

[Dimmauk]

Phil Jackson is complaining about Refs and Unsportsmanlike behavior again.

It's amazing how easy the Nuggets made that game look last night, even with their best player having his worst playoff performance of the year. Kobe might be the best player on the court, but the Nuggets are definitely the best team in the series.

[Tyr]

Dimmauk, I am so hot for you right now...


I think any matchup, at this point, would be fun to watch in the finals, and the postseason has been amazing thus far, but I really would prefer a Magic-Nuggets finals. Aside from the fact that neither have the superstar prowess of Lebron or Kobe, honestly, I can easily see Kobe or Lebron willing their team to another finals in the future, but I don't know when either the Nuggets or Magic will make it this far.

Also, I love Rashard Lewis.
