I voted Lakers in 6 but I want Philly to win, but Iverson isnt going to be able to do that everynight.

I\'ve seen Iverson do that not even the mighty Michael Jordan has done, this guy is amazing....last three games he\'s scored 40 or more points...

I\'m glad someone else started this thread because I was too frustrated with the playoffs up to this point to do it myself.

I HATE THE LAKERS.   When you grow up in Phoenix, and you\'re a Suns fan all your life, you don\'t feel two ways about the FAKERS.  Last night\'s game brought me more basketball viewing joy than I have had in a LONG LONG time.  Watching Iverson use up Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant, and then put Tyronn Lue on his ass while hitting that 3-pointer in overtime is just pure bliss.

Every so-called Laker fan should be pissing their pants right now with one realization:  The Sixers are not planning to avoid a sweep, they\'re not planning to win a couple games, they are planning to win a championship.  I\'m not even a Sixer fan, and I can see that clearly.  The Lakers are bored and complacent right now.  The 76ers simply want it more, and that\'s ALWAYS what it takes to win a championship.  It\'s a good time hate the Lakers.

Sixers in Six (nice ring to it, eh?)

By the way, this assumes David Stern will let them win a championship.

It appears that Philadelphia\'s fans are more dedicated than Laker fans.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, NBC\'s wednesday night broadcast of game one of the NBA finals yielded the best ratings for a finals series game one since 1998.  That\'s an increase of 21% from last year.

In the Philadelphia market, the broadcast rated 41.0/60, while in Los Angeles it only achieved 32.9/51.  I think the first number is rating among adults 18-49, and the second number is market share.  Sorry I can\'t go into more detail, but basically bigger is better.  Videoholic could probably tell you all about it.

I picked Sixers in 5 b/c I knew they were gonna win the 1st game cause I knew the Lakers wouldn\'t expect the Sixers to play like that.... I think the Lakers will win the next game (cause its home) However I think the Sixers will win the 3 games after that (at home) b/c Iverson is gonna go so crazy in Philly.

BTW I\'m a Knicks fan but since Philly is closer, and b/c I hate the Lakers, I want Sixers to win.

Also think of this.... If the Lakers won it wouldn\'t be that big b/c everyone expects them to win. In the paper it would be like, "Oh the Lakers Won!" and thats it. However if the Sixers won it would be one of the biggest upsets ever in NBA history and there would be so much crap about it in the paper and ****.

I hope Iverson, no matter how much of a showboater he is, runs all over Kobe and then rest of the Lakers in the rest of the series... damn lakers

XBOX is rite about how he cant do EVERYTHING every game however he mite not have to if Mckie plays awesome and hits threes like he did in the 1st quater last nite and if Geiker (SP?) comes off the bench and plays awesome too. I think they have a REALLY good chance of taking this series quick, especially cause there at home rite now.

As a guy officially from "Philly" I can tell you that I certainly want the Sixers to win.

Sixers have way more heart and determination than the silver-spoon fed Lakers.

I don\'t know who WILL win...I just know who deserves it more. :D

After last night, we see that the Sixers can actually win a game without all the points being put up by AI.

The Lakers were the ones to steal last night\'s game, and they know it.

The Sixers can win.

The Lakers won again tonight. Robert Horry was spectacular in the late moments of the game. When Shaq got fouled out he hit a HUGE three pointer and clutch free-throws to finish them off.

I think it\'s all Lakers from now. The Sixers might win another game but I highly doubt it; the Lakers are just to focused now.

Lakers in five gets my vote.

Don\'t get me started with basketball! Don\'t mess with my Lakers! Lakers in 5 DAMN IT!!!

sigh

When will you all learn that the Lakers own you!!

LMAO when I saw that a good portion of you voted sixers in 6. Do you know what you\'re saying? By voting sixers in 6 you\'re saying that not only will the sixers win one in philly but will also win one in LA and celebrating there. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shaq and Kobe are your daddies!!!!

Oh and by the way I\'m sick and tired of some sixers*cough*iverson*cough* talkin\' about how were playin with heart and we shouldn\'t even be this close. Yeah.... they got heart and I respect that.... but the bottom line is did you win the game? I mean come on, do you think LA will be listening to this while they\'re drowning themselves in alcohol in celebration of their second straight championship?

And what about the Lakers\' heart? I think they showed tremendous character while tryin\' to fend off philly\'s defensive onslaught!

1.  Most of the people who voted in this poll voted before the series even started.  Even though I voted Sixers in Six after game one, that\'s actually my heart voting, not my head.  It was always a forgone conclusion that the Lakers would win the series.  Nevertheless, the more games Philadelphia wins, the better I\'ll like it.  Anything to taint the vomit-inducing coronation of these dirty-playing, whistle-flopping, elbow-throwing, own-rulebook-having, Marv Albert-drooling FAKERS is ok with me.

2.  It\'s funny as hell you calling them "your Lakers" when you live in friggin\' Connecticut.  That\'s pure bandwaggoning if I\'ve ever seen it.  You were probably a Bulls fan in the 90s too... am I right?

Ok that\'s fair. Maybe I got a little too carried away before I considered that some people might have voted before the series began but I couldn\'t help it. I always get fired up at this time of year especially when I have to constantly here from my friends on a day-to-day basis about their knicks and how the Lakers are goin down and blah, blah, blah......and NO I was never a Bulls fan and have loved the Lakers as far back as 1979 or 1980 when I was 5-6 years old.

By the way Coredweller, how are your Phoenix BUMS doing at home? Are they enjoying the game?   :D
