NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Nets

Sorry Fayded.

Lakers win, up 1-0.

Nets made it interesting, at least the Lakers know more about the Nets.

Nets always do that come back in the 4th chit. Not enough this time though

Err....stupid Nets down the stretch. Couldn\'t make a shot. Van Horn just about sucked. Jason Kidd...he\'s good. Triple double, again. Maybe he\'ll average a triple double this series too.

Lakers in 6.

thats pretty bad when they have to have Kobe guard Jason.  That really says something about Fisher\'s defense.

Here comes the fourth, and for like the 16th straight game watching the Lakers play I\'m nervous. Hate them or love them, you must admit that they have good games.

I didn\'t feel the nervousness once this game. It just doesn\'t seem like the Nets have a chance of winning, even if they got as close as 3.. But that\'s just me, I could be wrong... I\'m always wrong.
:shy:

I didn\'t think the Nets ever had a chance either. It felt like the Lakers were in control the whole time.


Why couldn\'t Jason Kidd do this for the Suns?

Probably cause the Suns suck.  The Nets had all the pieces they needed except a star PG, they got that and a few good draft picks (mainly Richard Jefferson) and boom.  I knew they would be better this year, but not this good.  I figured they would win 35 games or so.  Oh well they probably won\'t win anymore.

The Suns need a decent center. If Penny can ever get his head screwed on and be 80% of what he used to be they might be good. And they need a PF. Bah...they do suck. Oh well, back to the finals.


Go Nets.

OMG Nets are showing the Lakers up!  That was just funny as hell.  They one won by 5?


[size=20]GO NETS[/size]

I feel like going out on a limb.

Nets in 7. The Lakers won this game, but in the final 3 quarters, they got complacent. Figured the Nets would lay down and die for them, and it didn\'t happen. Had to rely on Shaq throwing his weight around in order to take the game, you didn\'t see Kobe taking over this game, did you?

The Game was officially over when Kidd missed that 3 that could have cut it to 93-90 with about 1:30 left, that was juuuuuuuust about it.

See Yuz.

That would be great if the Nets won in 7. I would laugh at the Laker fans. But i doubt it will happen....darn.


Yeah Kidd isn\'t very good at 3\'s. He needs to practice his jumper this off season...if he gets that down he\'ll be virtually unstopable.

Unfocused: The Suns, without Kidd, are better than the Nets without him.  Kidd just works with that team.  The pieces were not all in place when he got there.  He made this team what it is.  And besides, Kidd didn\'t choose to leave.  It was the Suns who traded him.

I still doubt the Nets will win, but like I said, it will be close.  Once they settled down, the Nets played a damn good game.  It won\'t be the cake walk Lakers fans expect.

Wow, I agree with shock for once...


Trading Kidd was the dumbest trade. Stupid Colangalo traded Kidd for hitting his wife. Trades for Marbury who gets an extreme DUI. Idiot. Now Penny and Gugliata are taking up way too much cap space...but they arent tradeable. Marion wants 100 million. The Suns are screwed. When the cop pulled over Marbury he asked "What\'s your name?" Marbury responded with, "Well....my friends call me Starbury." Moron.

I question the fact that Phoenix would be better without Kidd compared to NJ without Kidd.  The Nets have Van Horn and Kenyon Martin, two high draft picks that were pretty good to begin with.  The Suns have Marion and Penny, now um if this was 1995 then the Suns would easily be better, but Penny isn\'t exactly that good anymore.  Marion is good, but he doesn\'t deserve 100 million dollars.
