no shit. unfortunately that only happened in the last 1/2 of the 4th qtr. anywayz....
wow.. what a horrid game. that will NEVER be on "ESPN Classics". terrible game for the first 7/8's of the game. the Lakers lucked out kinda-sorta. oddly, Ron Artest s/b the NBA Finals MVP. but they'll give it to Kobe. but not for his putrid 6-24 FG shooting. he did stack up some boards.
overall, the Lakers X-Factor wound up being Artest. he went from horrid O in worthless games to clutch O in games that mattered. but his D never faltered. he gets the nod for MVP from me.
i gotta give myself credit for a change. i told my bud that the Celts were probably better with Wallace in the game and they were. blah blah.. it's over. the greatest rivalry in sports lives on.
OR IS IT FUCKING NIGERIA VERSUS UGANDA IN SOCCER AKA "FUTBOL" OR WHATEVERSZORZ?
