Pistons Versus Lakers in the NBA Finals

[mpitts]

I am still in disbelief.

The Pistons absolutely dominated this series. Anyone who says otherwise was watching the series through purple and gold colored glasses.

PISTONS = WORLD CHAMPIONS!

this game was a joke, the refs just kept making bad call after bad call until the lakers finally just gave up.

my favorite was when billups fell down and they call a foul on george. what an absolute joke of a series. i wonder what is behind this blatant bias in the refereeing

WHINEEEE WHINEEEEEE



lakers got PLENTY of calls in the past

and they are simply OUTMATCHED in this game

SUCK IT UP !!

Now you know how the Kings feel!!!!!!

the kings had the refs on their side. 29fts/gm to 26fts/gm. this series its even more lopsided, like +11 or something like that. the lakers have had to deal with this crap officiating since 2002. i guess i should be used to it by now

The NBA just produced a "Lakers Dynasty DVD set" Kobe Bryant is not on the exterior of the box or any of the DVD cases.. The NBA does not want his face on anything until the trial is over... Could they also not want his face on the cover of SI holding up a Finals Trophy?

Kobe's free throws throughout the playoffs:

1st Round (5 games):
40-44

Semifinals (6 games):
30-41

Conference Finals (6 games):
42-56

Finals (4 games so far):
13-14
-------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Kobe has taken 92 shots in this FOUR GAME series and only 14 free throws
-------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Chauncey Billups has taken 52 shots in this FOUR GAME series and 34 free throws
-------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Kobe's stats for the 2 regular season games aganit Detroit 25 shots and 15 free throws.
-------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
In the last 3 games Tayshaun Prince has played 132 minutes guarding Kobe and only has 4 total fouls (and I have watched him cry about every single one of them to the referees)
--------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------

Looking at those above stats can you tell me if anything would be different?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Billups has shot the ball 40 times fewer than Kobe yet has 20 more free throws???

What about the regular season differences?

Do you honestly think it is possible for Tayshaun to play 132 minutes and only have 4 fouls?

Game 3 - Detroit never fouled Shaq when he had the ball. He went to the line after playing 35 minutes
Kobe was attacking the basket in game 3 - yet went to the line once.

Game 4 I guess Kobe was never fouled until late in the 4th quarter again.. right?

ONLY free throws of game 4 - 4th quarter
2:14 LAL Kobe Bryant made 1st of 2 Free Throws
2:14 LAL Kobe Bryant made 2nd of 2 Free Throws

ONLY free throws of game 3
9:30 LAL Kobe Bryant made 1st of 2 Free Throws
9:30 LAL Kobe Bryant made 2nd of 2 Free Throws


Yet .. the Pistons have made a living in this series at the free throw line in this series - **if you think it is legit then live with it.

THANK YOU SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE TAYSHAUN has been HOLDING KOBE OFF EVERY PICK and has not been called.

YEAH THATS RIGHT IM A LAKER AND KOBE FANBOY

KISS MY ARSE LAKER HATERS


TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA

*DODDODODODOD*

Bwahaahahahahhah... Darkstar, you crack me up sometimes man... anyways, it's pretty obvious now that Shaq was the reason LA won 3 in a row... Kobe would not have won without Shaq, Shaq would have won without Kobe, it's that simple. Kobe is one of the most overrated players in the fcking history of the NBA, where was he the last 3 games??? He was getting the ball batted off his face is where!

here you go again w/your stupid overrated crap. when did shaq win a ring w/o kobe on his team?

i agree with rufio - shaq can't carry a team...sorry!! that guys got no free throws, no perimeter shots...and notice he doesn't get the last minute game ending dunks!

 

[kb315]

Man, Detroits gonna burn.

I cannot believe this is happening, if someone told me at the beginning of the season when the team was pretty much rebelling against larry, I would of stopped talking to them.

To quote Mc'ds
I'm Loving IT


Detroit Pistons, your 2003-2004 NBA CHAMPIONS

 

[Ready]

I put on my robe and wizard hat

 

[TrueBlueLS]

Now will people quit being stupid and stop comparing Kobe to MJ? Thank-you.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

PWNED with a capital P!1!!!@ Hahahaha. Not even the crying of the myopic idiots, also known as Laker fans, can get me down tonight And I'm not even a Pistons Fan

Well, people are stupid, so they will. But this doesn't change the fact:

Michael Jordan > Kobe Bryant. Anytime. Anywhere.

 

[Stojakapimp]

I can't believe any laker fans can have the audacity to actually complain about the officiating. Someone even said they have had to put up with bad officiating since 2002. Give me a break...the refs have ALWAYS favored Shaq and Kobe.

Shaq has got to be the toughest guy in the nba to referee, so practically every time he touches the ball, they wait for him to shoot it and then call a foul. But in this series, the refs knew that Shaq was facing one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, so they can't give him the usual automatic foul. Doesn't mean they were bad non-calls, there were just none of those inivisible fouls that you are normally used to.

And Kobe? He was being guarded by perhaps one of the best defensive guys in the league. And beyond that, Kobe really started to settle for jump shots, plenty of which didn't go in.

Did you ever notice how Detroit is the best defensive team in the league? Well you don't get there by committing lots of fouls. So maybe try thinking outside of the box and realizing that Detroit simply plays good defense.

 

[Falloutboy]

sweat finally a championship in detroit thats not hockey! now only if the Lions could pull together










































like that would ever happen

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

The best team always wins a 7 game series. The Pistons won the series. They are the best team in the NBA.

How can you even question that after the ass-whipping the world just witnessed? The Lakers were beaten - soundly.

 

[SP33Demon]

Kobe practicing for prison with the Pistons.

Great shot Kobe!!

Kobe and his Lakers got KNOCKED DA F OUT!!!!!

The truth hurts.

 

[BCYL]

wow honestly I never saw this coming... I am not a Lakers fan boi, but I honestly never thought the Pistons would dominate the series like that... I thought the Pistons would give the Lakers some trouble, but ultimately the Lakers would win another championship...

hats off to the Pistons!

I think the Lakers will totally break apart now... I thought Kobe MIGHT stay if they win another championship, but now I definitely think Kobe will be leaving, and so will Malone and Payton...

Are you retarded? Shaq won back to back to back NBA Finals MVP... Kobe couldn't have ridden the Shaqwagon any harder to his 3 rings... What did Kobe do this series? What did Shaq do? I rest my case.

Go back and read my question again. Once you answer it correctly, post your answer. :roll:

While you are reading, here are some stats:
1999-2000
SHAQ's PPG: 29.7
KOBE's PPG: 22.5

2000-2001 year
SHAQ's PPG: 28.7
KOBE's PPG: 28.5

2001-2002 year
SHAQ's PPG: 27.2
KOBE's PPG: 25.2

2002-2003 year
SHAQ's PPG: 27.5
KOBE's PPG: 30.0

So Kobe had nothing to do with the Laker's success and championships eh? He just rode on Shaq's back?

Next time, argue with some facts instead of talking out of your ass. :roll:

i'm surprised the laker fans can still type coherently thru their tears

phil jackson just said as of now, slim chance of him coming back...guess lakers

kobe will demand to be traded to the detroit but Bill Davidson/Joe Dumars said they will have
to see how kobe do in scrimmage w/ the detroit shock first
