44-0

so the first loss was game 6?

No, of course not. her209 needs to rephrase that stat.

Of the top of my head:

1) Sonics won 2 in a row in the Finals when the Bulls led 3-0.
2) Jazz won Game 5 to force the Finals back to Utah when the Bulls were leading 3-1.
3) Pacers won Game 6 to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals when the Bulls led 3-2.

Why?

Jackson is in search of his 10th championship ring as a coach. He led the Lakers to three titles in his first four years in LA, and guided the Chicago Bulls to six championships. Jackson, who obviously knows what it takes to win the postseason, is 44-0 all-time in postseason series when his team has a lead in any point of the series.

The quote means Jackson was 44-0 in the series when he has a lead, not in the games during those series.

In other words, when Jackson has a lead in the series, he might lose some games, but he eventually wins the series.

Sports Network predicted outcome: LAKERS IN SIX

they would have won if it wasn't for thomas' lucky 3.

Yeah, that's why I was correcting InlineFour's 33-0 stat.

haha........are you kidding me? nobody expected the Lakers to win this series, let alone be up 3-1 at one point.

monumental collapse as yet unseen in sports.......redsox/yankees? please don't speak, you clearly have no idea what your talking about.

that being said, I expect the Suns to pull of a W unless LA somehow reestablishes their inside game.

a little bit defensive there eh?

a 3-1 collapse would be pretty big, not on the level of red sox/yanks but its still a rare event. i'm worried that the Lakers will play smart and get the ball to their big men and slow the game down.

Oh snap, I can't wait until this game tonight. I hope Raja puts the clamps on Bryant, and the Suns own the Lakers. I want to see Bryant cry for choking up a 3-1 series lead.

Hate the lake... go suns!

lol, why so much animosity against bryant? i do admit that he whines a lot.

 

[nyker96]

I have my money on Kobe on a tight spot. Whoever make that big shot will take it I say ... It's gonna come down to that 0.2 second shot ... It ain't over til it's over baby ... love it, actually my Mom gets real emotional on those elimination gamez, she gets pissed when the underdog gets eliminated ... oh well hope she can take a lose if Pheonix gets nailed tonite.

It hurts me to see Gilbert and crew get defeated by Cavs ... My fav team gone ... :[ but that 3 pointer for OT sure was awesome, hope Wash get a nice vacation outta it :]

arrogant, yes. adultry, i bet you money that many NBA players have commited adultry. they're just lucky they haven't been caught.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

need we forget that the Lakers are the 7th seed and the Suns are the 2nd seed? Even if the Suns end up winning, they will be soundly defeated by the Clips in the next round.

Great, so we get to watch him jack up fadeaway threes all game? He did that last game, and how well did that work out for the Lakers?

is the video online? i'd like to watch it.

 

[herkulease]

its gonna be exciting that's for sure.

lakers have to go back to their inside game. whether its dumping into kwame to get cheap fouls and easy baskets or freaking drive. they can't settle for jump shots. I'm directing that squarely at lamar odom. put the onus on the refs to call the fouls.

I feel the lakers will barely win this one. the suns had to spend a lot of energy to win games 5 and 6. Those games weren't walk overs and I think they will run out of gas tonight.

but I also see whoever moves on to lose to the clippers. the clippers have a legit inside game in elton brand and kaman that neither team have an answer for. the clippers can run with the suns if they need to also.

Kobe didn't do so badly in Game 6

I know he didn't do badly. He had a great game, and the Lakers lost. I guess the Lakers didn't learn anything this season. No matter how much Kobe shoots and goes ape-sh!t, the best he can do is the 7th seed.

kobe was excellent FG% wise, but he made a lot of turnovers.

GAME OVER! Suns won 150 - 100.

 

[lederhosen]

Suns out to a quick lead.
