Who cares about that? :roll:
The competition is for winning a ring, not for having the best defense or any other shit.

How are the Spurs "cheating"? There is no rule stating that the five best players must start the game, or the best player at a certain position must start for his team? It's usually what happens but it's not required and it's certainly not cheating if a team chooses not to follow that approach.

I know, because points that come from bench players count double. :roll:

I bet LA wins the series in 7 win or lose tonight. Good to see them leading. Hope they can keep it up. I hope they take out the Spurs, the floppy fucks.

lol The Lakers blew it, and the Spurs totally won. Terrible call.

But its the Spurs, the dirtiest team in the league, so even though that game was robbed from them, I'm happy. :)

Damn, missed the game. From what I can tell from the stats. Looks like Ginobili is hurting, great effort by the vet Brent Barry. Fouls shots looks about even.

I anticipate to see the Spurs play hard defense in game 5. A game 7 seems possible, but I think the Lakers can close out at the Staples.
YEAH BOY!

Brent Barry won the game for the Spurs. Then they took it away from them. Balancing out the Amare bullshit.

lol, it wasn't balancing out the Amare stuff...it was balancing out the other calls in the game! Parker shouldn't have even got the points for the layup beforehand...replay showed that Odom got the ball before the backboard.

I didn't think Bryant played all that well today. He had great stats but yeah...I watched it and just thought he made a few poor decisions. He did make a lot of good ones, I just think he didn't play as good as he could've.

Another thing...Duncan is so hard to watch....such an ugly way to play the game...and the complaining after every single possession....man it annoys me, lol.

Yeah, spurs got calls all game long, dont bitch now because they didnt give them another one to win the game. The refs kept them in the game all night long. The refs werent going to win it for them, the spurs had to do that, and they blew it.

Fisher got away with that call. Otherwise, the Spurs would still be in this.
Well, they're still in this. But I doubut they'll be able to pull off three wins. Especially one in LA.

Duncan looks a step slow in last quarter. You can notice it in the way he rebounds, even the ones that fall in front of him.

That last play should have never happened anyway fishers shot hit the rim, good no call anyway spurs were getting the calls the all night. Kobe did make a few bad decisions down the stretch but it all worked out back to LA we go to wrap tis thing up hopefully
