That's fine, Chris, I understand what you're saying. But I have a hard time believing that, if the situation was reversed, you (or any Spurs fan) would be completely open-minded and willing to listen to criticism from a supporter of a team who yours had recently beaten 4 games in a row. It just...

Look, Seth, I already admitted I saw next to nothing of any of the Eastern playoffs. But as this series proved, stats mean exactly dick. STAT #1: No home team has ever won the middle 3 games of the NBA Finals. OOPS! STAT #2: Phil Jackson has never lost an NBA Finals series. OOPS! STAT...

Hey Josh, you're from Texas. How's the fishing down there? George, I think you're being too hard on the Lakers. They did what they could do. Under the circumstances, they did very well. As a fellow Laker die-hard, we both know the Lakers have enjoyed an unprecedented amount of success for...

Larry better follow it up with Olympic Gold. Actually, after this series, I have no doubts that he will. USA! USA!

Once again (and, thankfully, for the final time), great job, Pistons. You completely deserve it!

No shit. This team will look much different next year. First order of business: Expose Devean George to the expansion draft and pray Charlotte is dumb enough to take him.

Win or lose, I just hope the Lakers play 1 good game in the series. If they have to go down, I hope they do it putting everything on the line. Still, a part of me will be smiling for Larry Brown if the Pistons come out on top. He's got SoCal history and he is great for the game. Good Luck...

No. This has been a year that any other coach would've died from a stroke from. Phil has done a tremendous job with all of the egos, infighting, injuries, and 'the Kobe thing'. Larry Brown was lucky that he coached the right team at the right time, and against the right opponent. Because...

Whoever controls the pace and flow of a series usually gets the calls. PJ doesn't like this fact (nor do Laker fans), because this is the first series PJ's had to coach since the Knicks series in '93 and '94, where the opponent has had much of the upper hand against his team's ability to dictate...

No the officials didn't, Walter, that's not what I was saying. The calls go to the agressors. The Pistons clearly are.

Wow. Tough call. I'd say here, but if the Lakers could work out a sign and trade with Orlando for McGrady, I might be open to that. Shaq and T-Mac are buds, and you know Tracy would feed the Daddy. If Kobe wants to be The Man, let him take his act to the Knicks.

Yes, the Pistons are clearly the more deserving team. The referees have obviously seen that and are calling the games accordingly. The Lakers are old, hurt and slow, and are being outcoached. Perhaps I should've watched more of (or any) of the Eastern Conference playoffs and I'd be less...

Guess ole Johnny up in SacTown has done a bit too much nippin' on the moonshine to know that his Kings aren't in the Finals. So, pardner, rustle up some grub, bang that cowbell, and stick your head back in that grubby hole known as Sacramentucky till we have to hear from you again, ya hear...

Congrats, Piston fans, on your NBA championship. The greatest defensive team the NBA has ever seen. You never give up, you play for 48 minutes, and you never foul anybody.

Note to Phil Jackson: Feed the Daddy!

This whole 'you can only be a fan if you've been to or lived in the city' is damn near the stupidest sentiment I've ever heard in the history of the HTF. My brother became a Redskins fan about the age of 4 in 1974 because 'he thought the helmets were cool.' And, even though he's only been to...

Yeah, it sounded that way to me, too, watching on TV. The way the Lakers played, though, there was almost nothing to cheer about. I've never been so disheartened about the way any Laker team has played in the playoffs. There probably wasn't much of any noise that night (minus Kobe's shot and the...

I agree, Joe, you just don't get a sense of it on TV like you do in other arenas like Conseco or Arco, but Staples can be deafening. You wouldn't know it during this series, but Game 3 of the Spurs series was the loudest noise I've been exposed to and I've seen tons of great rock concerts...

Rob and I love Reggie Miller, he's a Riverside boy after all, but he DOES NOT deserve a ring more than Malone. That is preposterous, Seth.

Or Magic. Or Kobe. :D Sorry, just had to spread a little Laker love in the mix.

Chris, I actually agree with much of what you say, but you should've followed your instincts and just hesitated a bit longer. Like maybe, next year! Your team lost. Go fishing. Every criticism of the Lakers just sounds like so many sour grapes.
