Would Ben Wallace be the greatest player of all time if he could catch a ball and shoot a jumper?
Dude, Vince Carter before his knee went couldn't have gotten to that alley-oop.
It was a terrible pass.
And lol @ the "looks like Walton is the ridiculously good Laker bench player of the day".
I just can't believe that whenever they need it, somebody always plays like a freaking All-Star for them. I mean, open shots are one thing, but this guy was going full-court for buckets and dropping no look dimes in traffic to teh diesel. Must be scary to be a Lakers opponent at times and know with absolute certainty that even if you do everything right and Kobe and Shaq have shitty games, player #12 on the bench, who has seen no burn since late February, is ready at a moment's notice to come out and play like the ghost of John Havlicek.
Hopefully Detroit's defense tightens up again (2 straight transition D breakdowns leading to coast-to-coast baskets? Never happened once during the regular season or playoffs that I saw-- not even against NJ), and hopefully Rip starts making shots and they actually PUT RASHEED WALLACE IN. He had 2 fouls, but they sat him the entire second quarter! What's the logic behind that? He's an excellent post/paint defender and shot-blocker and can stretch a defense with his J. He is also fully capable of scoring inside. Bad decision to bench him imo. They should play the lineup of Billups, Hamilton, Prince and the two Wallaces as much as possible imo (that's their starting lineup, right?).
Luckily for you clowns, I can't post while the game's on, because I have to go downstairs to watch it, as I don't get network TV in my room (only satellite-- the antenna for network is broken; been meaning to get me a new TV). So at least you only have to hear me once or twice a game and during the aftermath. I'm sure Bionic, PistonhoDna and Konex are relieved.
