BruceW Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Noj said: Oh, what a bunch of malarky Bruce. Do you really think Kobe and Shaq are the only ones who play physical? Hard-nosed defenders like Bell try to get a player like Kobe to react, so they can get him thrown off his game or out of the game. Kobe doesn't use his elbows any more than any other scorer in the league. I can't believe you think Kobe sounded more assinine than Bell trying to justify his idiotic and childish assault on Kobe, which occurred when his team had the game won and cost him the right to compete tonight. Your hatred for Kobe is clearly affecting your interpretation of the events. The Pistons are among the more physical teams in the league. It's how they put the defensive clamps on teams. But they don't attack players and throw them to the floor, they have more class than that--you should too, Bruce. Wow, you read what you want to read and interpret. Who said Shaq and Kobe were the only ones being physical. Who said other defenders don't use elbows. Yes Kobe was assinine because Bell talked of the actual physical confrontations, Kobe came up with some off the wall (Bell doesn't exist shit) explanation of the man's existance. Yes, that was assinine and you know it. You saw the game and I did too and we all saw the replays. AND you better believe Bell would have kicked Kobe's ass if he came off that floor in any way other than what he did. Now that is a fact that everybody saw, not just me. I know you love the Lakers and I have been a fan of the Lakers (Western Conference) ever since I hit Los Angeles way back in the Pan Pacific Auditorium days, but you would not know anything about that! I am a fan of the Lakers but my TEAM of choice (considering organization, treatment of players, front office etc., etc.,) is the Detroit Pistons. Bruce Quote
Noj Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Why should I believe Bell would kick Kobe's ass? I've never seen either one fight. Kobe came off the floor after Bell's attack and maintained his composure, which is more difficult to do than going Artest and losing your cool like Bell. Quote
BruceW Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Man, you are in denial but..... I do know that we BOTH are going to enjoy the next couple of games, especially if it does go to a 7th game. Or maybe just the 6th game will be a greatly contested game with the Lakers on top.... who knows. Peace Noj Bruce Quote
Noj Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 The Lakers have already done more than I expected them to. May the best team win. No one is going to beat the Pistons this year anyway. Quote

Guy Berger Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I was thinking about the rules... let's say that in later rounds, you can't get any points for a series if neither of the teams you picked make it. i.e. if you pick the Spurs to beat the Suns in 5 and the series turns out to be Kings over Clippers in 5, you don't get points for picking the right number of games. But if the Spurs beat the Clips in 5, you do get those points. Guy Quote

How could anyone expect any points for "number of games" if they don't have at least one of the teams in the series? I definitely agree with you if we have somehow been doing it another way. You got to get one of the two participating teams right to get the "games" points. I believe you need to have the "right" team to get the 5 and the "game" points (5-3-1). If your team loses and you guessed the "games" then you get only the "game" points. That would be fair. I have been picking only series winners, doesn't matter who the loser is, thus; Winner and any loser = 5 points plus points for "games" Any other winner and your pick loses = 0 points plus points for "games" Both teams other than your picks(win or lose) = 0 points plus 0 points for "games" However, to this point I have only been counting my winning teams plus points Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Yeah, I just wanted to be clear about it... Guy Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 HUGE MF loss for the lakers last night Quote
Noj Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Lakers played Phoenix' game. They'll be on vacation after next game if they play the same way. The Lakers should go to the low post with Kwame, Lamar, Kobe, or Walton every time down the floor. They must attack the paint! On defense, they need to avoid silly fouls in the paint and chase Phoenix off of the three point line. Also, I think they should put Lamar on Diaw and Kobe on Nash to avoid problems with the switch. Smush Parker is 2 for about 60 in the last three games, he needs to sack up. Huge shots by Tim Thomas, he's proving to be quite clutch. Diaw, too. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I saw most of the second half of the Lakers-Suns. I figured Phoenix was going to win; and they did. Kobe hits shots from all angles and distances. Problem is that even if he hits the poor shot selections, he'll hurt the team when he goes cold. I think he hurts the team quite a bit. This is my admittedly amateur's view. Quote
BruceW Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 NBA POOL Clips 5+1 =6 Mavs 5+0 =5 Pistons 5+5 = 10 NJ 5+5 = 10 Miami in 6 = 5+5 another 10 points 41 points total Cleveland in 6 gives me another 5+3 points = 8 Total is now 49 points Can't wait for SA and SAC to end. Artest turns ankle, SAC in trouble, will probably get SA in 6 Expect Lakers to lose in Phoenix, Quote
BruceW Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 NBA POOL Okayy, Now I have SA in 6 = 5+8 another 8 points That gives me 57 points Only Kobe and the Lakers vs. Phoenix are left tomorrow night. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Posted May 6, 2006 i thought scoring for the series was as follows 5 points for the correct team 1st round 5 points for a bulls-eye on total games 3 points within 2 game 1 point within 1 game Quote

Why wouldn't you get more points for being closer by one game then by two? Isn't that incorrect? I thought you said: (see your original thread - post #1) 5 points for a bulls-eye on total games 3 points for being within 1 game 1 point for being within 2 games makes more sense!! Ooops, does this change your score? Edited May 6, 2006 by BruceW Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 According to the tradesports betting markets, the Suns are approximately 7-3 favorites. Guy Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Kobe "Never saw a shot I didn't like" and the Lakers look like they're in trouble. Still plenty of time left. Maybe the rest of the team can get involved.... Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Forget it...Lakers are done. I'm glancing at the game from time to time, and everytime I see Nash with the ball, he looks out of control and causes a turnover. Phoenix is playing well though. Quote
BruceW Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Man, the Lakers are done, cooked, fini NBA POOL I got Phoenix in 6 so that gives me 5+3 = 8 points My total now is 65 points FOR THE fIRST rOUND Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Posted May 7, 2006 lakers got "homered" by the refs Quote
