Boy Its A Good Thing The Pistons Picked Up Rasheed Wallace, Huh?
I don't know how they ever would have gotten blown out on back-to-back nights without him.

:evilgrin:

Sorry Pistons and Pacers fans, its not your year (again).

1. Sigh...
...If that damn Kobe has another court date during the playoffs, I'm going to go postal. Every time dude goes to court and plays on the same night, he plays great. Bastard. Stupid Lakers. x(

2. I can hardly bear to watch the games...

Simply because of Kobe's self-absorbed smirk.

Shaq's only halfway amusing because he's so stupid - did you catch the "It's physics, it's geometry, it's math" interview? Freakin' hilarious.

Edit: typo

3. Off the court, I love Shaq!
He cracks me up.

On the court, he ticks me off. :grr:

6. True...
...but I was hoping to put the Lakers away early and have Minnesota and Sacto go 7.

Oh well...survive and advance. Plus, we've won two more championships than I ever thought we would. I can officially die happy. :7

5. Oh please
The Nets are done and wait till the series goes back to Auburn Hills. But why do I care who wins? Both teams are going down to the Pace Show. :D

7. I see you've returned for more punishment, my friend
Well, I'm happy to inform you that you're one step closer to getting what you wish.

The Nets will DESTROY the Pacers when they play them.

Jason Kidd vs. Jamal Tinsley - please, no contest.

Kerry Kittles vs. Reggie Miller - Miller is still good, but Kittles is a great defender.

Richard Jefferson vs. Ron Artest - should be an excellent matchup.

Kenyon Martin vs. Jermain O'Neal - should be another excellent matchup.

and the two centers - that's a wash.

The bottom line is, we have Kidd and you don't and as long as we're the only team in the East that has Kidd, we'll be the only team in the East going to the finals.

8. Yes I have
I remember Jason Kidd from Phoenix, he was a great passer and floor general but wasn't a great shooter. Don't know how well he is on that department. But here is the bottom line my friend.

Al Harrington, Jonathan Bender, Fred Jones, Austin Croshere, and Kenny Anderson vs Rodney Rogers, Lucious Harris, and Aaron Williams. Advantage clearly Indiana, the fact they have the best bench in the league is the reason they won 60 games and will be the reason the take the East.

11. sorry
I don't care how good your bench is, your team lacks a dominant player like Jason Kidd and will lose.

Do you remember the first round series two years ago and how good it was?

This will be even better. The result will be the same though. Nets in 5.

12. Coming 3rd in MVP voting behind Garnett and Duncan
Isn't dominant? You should care because a deep team always win. Pacers in 4 :evilgrin:

13. Yeah, but you're both competing to be the SECOND former ABA team
to win an NBA Championship. :7

Of course, didn't the Nets and Pacers win ABA titles? SA sure didn't. :P

14. 1 NBA Championship is good enough for me
I see a sad trend, San Antonio and Patriot fans are turning into Cowboy-Yankee-Laker fans.

15. Nah...I never expected the Spurs to ever win anything.
I don't feel like it's our divine right to have a winning team. Hell, I remember the 21-61 days. I remember Angelo Drossos giving the players a bonus when they got to 35 wins in a season. I remember the Spurs almost leaving Hemisfair to play in a smaller arena because they couldn't draw flies. I remember the great drafts of Alfrederick Hughes, Dwayne Schintzius and others...

Plus, the Pacers won 3 ABA Titles and the Nets 2. I looked it up. :-)

16. Yeah
I wasn't talking about you specifically but I'm noticing like the Yankee, Cowboy, and Laker fans some Spurs and Patriot fans are getting that cockiness and rub how many championships they got in your face. I'm glad Indiana has New Jersey beat in that department, but it doesn't mean much. Where is the ABA now?

17. Believe me, I can officially die happy.
Even if the Spurs never win again, I've seen them win twice in my lifetime. I even got to see Finals game 1 live in 1999. You know the saying, "There's electricity in the air"? I know what that feels like now.

My one wish is for everyone to feel the joy of their team winning. It's a good feeling.

Oh, http://www.remembertheaba.com/ The Pacers had some GREAT Afros back in the day! Darnell Hillman!
