SHAQUE WINS AGAIN -- YAWN

[Gray Mule]

When the outcome is a foregone conclusion, what is the excitement of

watching the Lakers? If you can possibly stop the man mountain, who is

so huge, then the rest of the team will have you for supper.

They are such a dominant team, so much better than the mere mortals that

make up the rest of the league, why bother. It is automatically over before

it even begins and will continue to be this way until these players are too old

to move fast enoung to play -- nothing and no one else can stop them.

Watching grass grow is right there in comparison to watching Shaq and his merry

men make a mokery of the rest of the NBA.

Actually I disagree....What has anyone done besides Shaq/Kobe

and a shot or two from Horry?It really doesn't matter againest the

Nets cause everyone knew they aren't a worthy team compared

to the Lakers.

Fisher is one of the worst defenders.Parker/Bibby both destroyed

him.I can't answer for the Nets series.

I don't call a game 7 finals dominant at all....The onyl team they

have beaten soundly is the Nets.Portland got sweept,but they

sure were not blownout in the games and neither was The Spurs.

It was a bad year for the NBA all together in my opinion.

I am rooting for the lakers to 4peat and even 5peat. I don't really like them and I'm certainly not a fan. But they could make history and I'm all for them to do it. They have to best front court player in the game and the best backcourt player in the game. Two dominant players that together simply can't be stopped. It's interesting watching other teams try and Sacramento really should have done it this year. But experience and attitude prevail and that's what the lakers won on this year.

In todays weaker NBA in my opinion their is nothing the Lakers

can do to become apart of history.It's easy to win when you

only face one quality team.The Spurs are Tim Duncan and a

bunch of piece of sht players and Portland...well,isn't really

a team.

And the chances of us EVER making the finals are slim to

none.

IF the NBA was at a high level a team like the Spurs

wouldn't make the playoffs.

Tony Parker-decent rooke

SG:[censored](Smity NOW)

SF:[censored](Bowen,above average on d,but can't score or shoot)

PF:Duncan

C:Declining old fart Robinson

Any team that has to beat a weak team like NJ(All other teams

in east are weak aswell)in the finalsdoesn't deserve a piece of

history.

It was a terrible year for the NBA all together from the Detroit/

Boston woeful 40-38....eeerrrrr 66-64 game to NJ making the

finals.

So --- They win. What was the big deal? We all knew that they would.

And they will continue to win as long as they have their two stars. The

rest are just role players, good roll players, to be sure, but not really star

models.

How do you stop this man that is a mountain? You can't. And, if you do

somehow come up with a plan to stop him you must also stop his all star

buddy. If you somehow manage to shut them both down, the rest of the

team will have a field day, scoring at will.

Some day, these two will be either seperated or become to old to play this

game. Until that time, they will remain the champions of the NBA. Only three

things will topple this kingdom - 1-Sepeation 2 - old age or 3 - major injuries.

Until this happens, get used to the NBA Champion Lakers.

The Championship doesn't mean as much now.Honestly us winning

the title wouldn't feel as good as it would have years ago.The NBA

has lost so much of the magic that made it great.I stick around as

a hardcore fan hoping one day the magic will return.
