A little tidbit on the Lakers coaching search:

Phil Jackson was their No. 1 choice, but the Los Angeles Lakers talked to several big-time coaches to see if they were interested in the job, including North Carolina's Roy Williams. "Absolutely," GM Mitch Kupchak said, when asked if they inquired into other coaching possibilities. "Roy Williams turned us down a third time, which I think is a Los Angeles Lakers' record," he said. "We were just calling to see if he was interested; we hadn't offered anything yet."

That's right boys, you can't have Roy!

"Do you think Hubie Brown's Julius Caesar haircut was forced on him by the ABC executives as a subliminal ploy to advertise 'Empire'?"

9:07 – Longtime NBA fan Stevie Wonder plays the national anthem with his harmonica. Very cool. He'll also be reffing tonight's game with Dick Bavetta and Bennett Salvatore.

9:43 – Hey, remember when I wrote how I wouldn't make fun of Coach K's AmEx ads because he was donating the profits to charity? Well, some North Carolina fans reminded me of something – even if he's doing the ads for free, you couldn't ask for better propaganda for recruiting purposes, could you? It's almost like a presidential candidate being the only one allowed to broadcast national commercials. Just a devious move by Coach K. I want you to develop as a player. I want you to develop as a student. I want you to develop as a human being. And I want to show you how I can avoid some NCAA recruiting rules.

10:01 – With the Pistons leading by one, Billups passes up an easy three-on-one for a pull-up 3 that missed. I think he's trying to kill Hubie Brown. Seriously. Two more of those and Hubie is going to keel over on live TV.

10:07 – Does it get any dumber than the "These 2005 Finals are being broadcast in 45 languages over 105 different countries, and just in case you don't believe us, here's some live action with two French guys doing the play-by-play" gimmick? What's my reaction supposed to be? Yup, those guys are speaking French all right. They weren't kidding.

10:42 – From reader Mike in St. Louis: "You think they could do one of those halftime caring and sensitive shows about Latrell Sprewell's kids? They could go through the daily struggle they have to go through to get a meal."
Click to expand...

11:00 – Highlight of the game: A beautiful alley-oop from Hamilton to Big Ben, followed by a shot of Eminem happily waving a towel in the stands and an eight-second pause before Al Michaels said, "Eminem waving the towel." Seriously, what are the odds that Al recognized Eminem without a spotter or producer pointing it to him? Ten to one? Twenty to one?
Click to expand...

11:45 – With 3:30 remaining, Ginobili misses a wide-open 3 to cut Detroit's lead to nine. Hubie sums up everyone's sentiments: "Not in the cards today, Al." By the way, the "Ginobili for Finals MVP" bandwagon just careened into a telephone pole.

You have Ben Wallace playing out of his mind. And you've only been whistled for six fouls. And yet, you're still losing. You can't be happy right now.

Stupid comment on Manu for Finals MVP. No one in the Spurs played like a MVP yesterday, including Tim. Only TP played half-decent basketball. Plus Manu got hurt early on and you could see he wasn't completely comfortable out there.

Was nice for my pistons to finally show up and realize, "hey! we are in the finals!! Maybe we should stop dickin' around"... I'm thinking that the rest of the series will be what most of us have hoped it would be the entire time. I close knit, physically pounding game, where the strongest will survive...

Spurs played with zero heart last night, in effect they looked the same as Detroit in San Antonio.

I still think San Antonio will win the series in 5 or 6 games, but they will regret throwing one game away. Teams always regret it.

it's been an OK series so far. Hopefully tonight's game will be a close one.

For those of you participating in the NBA Pick'em GAF contest, how are you doing?? I don't like to brag *cough* but I'm currently in 1st place out of 41 GAF'ers :D If San Antonio wins the series, then I'll finish 1st as well. What's my prize? ;)

I'm #2 or #3. Only one at that spot as well. Picking the Kings over Sonics killed me. And those Heat sweeps.

I'll win though :D My Pistons will pull it out.

I was in almost the exact same position last year and I thought the same thing about the Lakers. :lol

I didn't really put a lot of time into my predictions this year, it is just harder to get into the playoffs when the 2nd greatest team of all time is not actively involved. I knew the Mavs had no chance to win, but they were the team I liked the most out of the ones left and that pick killed me.

This is why nobody gives the Spurs any credit. Is there another team out there that disappears in SECONDS like San Antonio does? One second they look absolutely unstoppable and then all of a sudden they can't do a damn thing out there.

Wow Spurs have the Pistons in the penalty yet Detroit's defense has turned the Spurs in to a perimeter shooting team when they should be driving to the hoop everytime they get the ball.

oh sweet god now for those of us living in oklahoma we can another 30 minutes of severe weather coverage (high winds qualifies here in the land of no real news). I just missed half of the second quarter cause of this crap now it'll be on until the third quarter.

Pistons by 15 at the half, I expected that. That last phantom blocking foul on Ben was iffy. Could've gone either way, but Ginobili speeding in out of control, a charge was warranted.

I think it's getting worse...his glasses get darker and darker every year to cover it up. Soon he'll just flat out wear black sunglasses.
