The Lakers win the NBA title, Pistons will take series against Celtics
The Lakers and Spurs are the two best teams in the NBA. On Thursday night the Lakers overcame a 17 point deficit to close out the defending champions, and in my mind win the NBA title. This thing is over. The Pistons and Celtics are playing for the concellation prize. The Lakers are gonna destroy whoever comes out of this series, which will be, unless Stern has rigged this thing, the Pistons, who should win game 6 and game 7.
I expected the Spurs to push the Lakers to 7 games. I was wrong. The foul at the end of game 4 has been blown out of proportion. Yes it was a foul. But Brent Barry was too far from the basket to make it an issue. The Spurs should have drawn up a better play. And the ball should have gone to Robert Horry. The Spurs didn’t do their homework. The bigger issue is why Joey Crawford was even refereeing the game. The even bigger questions is when did referees become the third team on the court? They are affecting the outcome of these games. Let’s just say it. If this was reversed, and Fisher was shooting the 3, and Barry fouled him, Crawford would have made the call. And alas, that’s why the NBA has become a movie with actors, not players. And the referees are directors.

You must be depressed that your favorite team got blown out like that last night Faris. I hope this series will finally put an end to this ridiculous argument that you and the rest of Kobe’s fans make that he’s like Jordan. Not only would Jordan have never left the Celtics back into game 4, he’d have never let his team get destroyed like the Lakers did last night.
I laughed watching the Celtics bench tear up the Lakers starters before Phil finally pulled Kobe, Odom and Pau.
I laughed also in Game 5 when Ric Bucher made the statement (Faris, you probably agree) that Pau and Bynum give the Lakers the best young front court in the league. I would never, ever, trade Oden and Aldridge for those two. Even if Oden is the 2nd biggest draft mistake ever (Yes Faris, you’ll never live that down on this blog).
