The refs called a technical foul on Magic on that play btw because he got blood on Jordan's sneakers.

Damn it Man don't you know the street value of those sneakers...

Jordan then took the idea and ran with it years later

You guys can't leave Kobe off the all clutch team. Guy has made as many game winners as Horry and he is half his age.

Naturally, someone who takes as many shots as Kobe does will eventually have some fall in...

It was hilarious seeing Kobe just CHUCKING up 30 foot 3-pointers in the 4th quarter throughout the season, and then when a couple finally went through Konex would post "OMG! CLUTCH! KOBE!!!" :lol

Off season and cursed by Konex. That is too much for anyone.

Expect a full recovery and some insane posts by Loki when Kobe wins 5-9 games with game winning shots next year.

:lol :lol I can' believe this website is still up, I remember it from around the time he was in court...

...And then gunshots from Konex and other Lakers' fans when they only win 5-9 games next year.

"I already got the record for most wins in a season, but I WANT BOTH ENDS! Most loses in a season, here I come!"

 

[Loki]

...but I WANT BOTH ENDS!

...so did Kobe, and look where it ended him up.


Heads-up: Game 6 of the '98 Finals is on NBA TV at 10 PM EST. So those haters (read: bionic ) who insist that Jordan shoved Russell out of the way for that game-winning shot can finally see it from the normal game angle, which will plainly show that there's no way MJ could have generated the force/angle necessary to have the effect haters say it did.

The NBA and its players' association are close to agreeing on a new collective bargaining agreement that would institute a 19-year-old age limit, reduce contract lengths and raise the salary cap, sources close to both negotiating committees told ESPN.com on Monday night.

The potential agreement would run for six years and would allow the two sides to avoid a lockout on July 1.

NBA spokesperson Tim Frank told ESPN that the two negotiating committees were scheduled to meet again on Tuesday morning in New York.

I stepped on Shane Battier's toes at a titty bar in Memphis Friday night. He was wearing sandals and it was packed. I said "excuse me" and he said "no problem." Nice guy, that Shane Battier. I hope he doesn't get traded.

Titty bar? Didn't alienhead recently get married to some doofy looking broad from Dook? She better get on the horn with Vanessa..

He's a wholesome, all-american guy, that Battier. I don't see anything more wholesome or all-american than some titties in your face. It's really the american dream, imho of course

 

[Ninja Scooter]

at least you didn't step on his titty at a toe bar.

Exactly. Detroit's a disgrace, as I've said numerous times throughout the playoffs. The refs are a joke as well for allowing it. They'd show replays of fouls, and there were without exception 2-4 fouls committed PRIOR to the foul that was actually called. Shameful.


Biggest bunch of hackers since Riley's Heat/Knicks. The dynasty ('00-'02) Lakers were huge hackers too, but usually it was only in the 4th quarter, when they'd go on one of their fabled "runs" (which was code for "let us hack the shit out of them this quarter"). With Detroit it's for the full 48.

I'm sorry, but all this conspiracy theory talk about uncalled fouls and favoritism is pure bullshit. Both teams play aggressive defense and *some* fouls go uncalled, but the vast majority are on the money. The team that plays the best will win the game. Period.

There's no conspiracy theory here. Yes, the refs allow SA to get away with stuff too-- the difference is that they don't even TRY to get away with as much stuff as Detroit does; hence, Detroit gets away with more since the refs normally allow lots of stuff to slip by uncalled. Detroit are the worst hackers in quite a long time. A dubious distinction, to be certain.

 

[jobber]

say goodbye to the NBA for another season tonight. The new season starts next week with the draft.



SPURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

so you are angry at detroit for working the system?

kind of like how no matter who hits a ball out of bounds, everyone on their team will point in their direction?

coaches teach all this stuff!

Woo! No lockout, thanks NHL! I knew you hockey guys were worth something

NEW YORK -- NBA owners and players agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement Tuesday, averting the possibility of a lockout.

The league called a news conference in San Antonio prior to Game 6 of the NBA Finals, with commissioner David Stern and union director Billy Hunter announcing their agreement, ESPN Insider Chad Ford has confirmed.

The deal came on the fourth consecutive day of talks between the sides. The league's old seven-year agreement is due to expire on June 30.

The league and its players' association on Monday night were close to agreeing on a new CBA that would institute a new 19-year-old age minimum, reduce contract lengths and raise the salary cap, according to sources close to both negotiating committee.

Among the main items the players were seeking was a reduction in the so-called escrow tax under which 10 percent of their salaries are withheld if the amount of revenues devoted to players salaries exceeds a specified percentage.

Owners had already offered to raise the salary cap from slightly more than 48 percent of revenues to 51 percent, thereby increasing the amount of money each team can spend on player salaries.

 

[The Faceless Master]

awesome, 2011 is now guaranteed!

 

[AirBrian]

Very good news!

 

[sol5377]

Pistons win tonight. San Antonio in game 7.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Will we get a Rasheed guarantee tonight?

 

[ParkPace]

ROFL. Ben Wallace is pissed that the Spurs have already scheduled their championship parade. "It's on!", he says. Hey Ben, fuck you. Let's see if the Spurs can drive inside repeatedly for 3 quarters tonight and see you end up with only ONE foul by the end of 4 quarters + overtime. That's NOT happening away from Detroit, sucka.

(One personal foul in 48 minutes? ONE?)

 

[SKluck]

WTF were they seriously playing funeral music when the Pistons were announced? :lol Fuck you SA!

 

[Barrage]

LOL. Detroit gets The Undertaker's theme music.

Hey, 'Sheed does like wrestling...

 

[SKluck]

Is that Dan Crawford I see reffing? Detroit is fucked.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Hey, 'Sheed does like wrestling...

I want Sheed to give the belt to Duncan if they lose , then Shaq comeout and hit Duncan with a chair after he recieves the belt

 

[AirBrian]

Billups has started really hot. And two really nice finishes by Prince!

 

[themadcowtipper]

Billups has started really hot. And two really nice finishes by Prince!

Yeah but the Pistons can't keep up this pace all game...

 

[SKluck]

Flopobili!

 

[themadcowtipper]

Flopobili!

He was tripped

 

[DMczaf]

He was tripped

By this man

 

[AirBrian]

By this man

:lol :lol

And nice pick by Duncan. ;-)

 

[themadcowtipper]

Calls dont go their way and we have a Detroit

 

[ParkPace]

Big surprise going on here. Detroit not happy with the way the calls are going in San Antonio? Fuck You Detroit.

 

[SKluck]

Congrats SA, and Horry's 6th.

Like I said, Crawford = Detroit is fucked.

 

[ParkPace]

Chauncey Billups is a great freakin' player. Dude keeps hitting big shots to kill SA momentum.

Rasho Nesterovic needs to get some playing time in place of Nazr Mohammed. Nazr is having all sorts of trouble this series boxing the Pistons out and finishing easy buckets around them.

 

[SKluck]

About time they get in front of Parker.

How the hell does Horry drain 3's so perfectly, then a minute later airball by 2 feet? :lol

Ginobili with 2 flops in under 15 seconds. When Hubie notices it..... :lol

 

[DMczaf]

Holy crap, can Manu stay on his feet for at least 15 secs? A soft breeze could knock his ass down

 

[The Faceless Master]

UT music is a great sign for detroit... this is the nba's wrestlemania and the detroit undertakers are here ready to no-sell and make the challengers do the J.O.B.

 

[SKluck]

Whoa, did I hear Stern say the active roster is now 14 players? Does that mean team roster = 17, or still 15?

 

[Incognito]

Is that Dan Crawford I see reffing? Detroit is fucked.

Exactly what I said. :lol :lol :lol

 

[ParkPace]

Whoa, did I hear Stern say the active roster is now 14 players? Does that mean team roster = 17, or still 15?

No idea, but the increase in the active roster is one of my favorite additions in the new CB. Let's be honest here - 2/3 of the injured list is usually made up of phantom injuries anyways. :lol

 

[themadcowtipper]

Holy crap, can Manu stay on his feet for at least 15 secs? A soft breeze could knock his ass down

Manu has nothing on this man

 

[themadcowtipper]

And If Abc wasn't shoving him down our throat enough or you forgot who he was a special Half-Time performance by Rob Thomas....

 

[Fifty]

Rob Thomas must have kidnapped the loved ones of all the ABC execs. It's pretty much the only explanation as to how he's gotten this much air time.

 

[Barrage]

I finally know how a heart breaks.

 

[Cloudy]

Chauncey is awesome...

 

[AirBrian]

@ Billups! Maybe he can keep it up all game long...
