I'll be happy to see they play all year non-stop.

I was about to ask it. Sometimes my Av is bigger, now your's big and mine small.

Naw, I like watching other sports, but a longer playoff schedule would be nice like a 7 game first round as long as they don't span it even longer than this year.

Thats because this is the normal size of my av, I think the forums are a little messed up because moved topics now go to the top even though they are in a different forum.

Even if they play all year, I can choose not to watch it. You don't ususally watch all games, right?

Yeah, that's the original size of my Av. Funny that I was reading some posts and don't know when I was transferred to the wasteland...

No I don't watch many games in the first half of the season because I'm usually watching some other things or just busy with school.

Did you hear Shaq crying like a little baby because the refs wouldn't give him the calls. You think the all powerful Lakers wouldn't care much about such things like that.

Really, I haven't seen that. He actually weep? Geez. You think he fake it? Well, I can understand if it's true because foul calling is crucial to a game this close.

....sorry I got you confused, I was talking about the post game conference Shaq had saying the only way the Kings could beat the Lakers was by cheating.

Yeah, I can see why Shaq would complain about getting fouled but then he fouls people on the offensive end that a lot of the time go as no-calls.

So it's shaq whining, not crying.

Anyway Shaq do foul on other ppl a lot, see his elbows flying all around the place? And did you see how Kobe leant on Christie? He's trying to exhaust him, that jackass! :bad-words:

If Peja will play, the Kings are that much stronger, so if Kobe's food poisoning was for real, the Lakers might just lose that first game

Peja would be a nice addition for the Kings who could use a little boost. As for Kobe hopefully his sickness will keep up for a while longer.

he would be a good boost, but his ankles look to heavily slow him down even if hes able to play

i can understand shaq having to whine, there were some bad calls that favored the kings, but then again, an equal amount that favored the lakers.

they shouldnt be making bad calls in the first place though. And the flop calls are ridiculous, i couldnt believe the refs fell for so many of them from both teams

I think one reason he has to play so physically on offense is because the defenders are so physical on him generally. defenders do whatever they can, including holding and pushing him, as he tries to get good position. They know that once hes under the basket with the ball hes practically unstoppable :twisted:

That one flop that Vlade did when he was already falling before Shaq touched him was hilarious though.

And bad calls have been a part of sports since they started playing sports, there will always be bad calls due to human error. Even if they were perfect, people would complain because the games are too slow. Not that I don't complain about refs....

May be they should really introduce ruling by reviewing the video tapes. But on the other hand, it will slow down the game a lot...

And it will be great if Kobe keeps on puking.

BTW, anyone seen those NBA star Action Figures? Look cool but a bit expensive.

really? where can i find them sounds neat 8)

Bishop · Post by **Bishop** » Fri May 24, 2002 12:28 pm

Not sure if they have hit the store, but you can take a peek at NBA Official website. They are pretty cool. 8)

Yeah, Bishop how could you tell us about something like this then not provide a link.

What players do they have?

As for video replay, I would like to see it maybe in the playoffs used in the last two minutes and get to use it once.

Bishop · Post by **Bishop** » Fri May 24, 2002 12:33 pm

Ok, here's exactly the page http://store.nba.com/srcModelList.asp?l ... 1&aid=5647

I think they can use the video replay for the whole playoff or at least for every game in the conference finals.

Those look good probably because they are made by McFarlane. I wonder what series MJ will come out in.

Heres an update on Kobes condition: probable(hopefully he will tired)
Kobe

Ha, now they start the conspiracy theory?

MJ series, I thought they made it once. Is that McFarlane or some other company?

Actually, this series is even better. The figures are made with plenty of "motion". KG's one is interesting.

Slider · Post by **Slider** » Fri May 24, 2002 12:56 pm

They made a MJ series, I must have missed it. I like the Vince model the best but KG comes in at a close second. McFarlane makes some good models especially those Spawn ones, I must say I'm suprised that they are only 15 bucks.

Bishop · Post by **Bishop** » Fri May 24, 2002 1:08 pm

Not just the Spawn ones, all movie figures are marvellous.

It's true with that quality, 14 bucks is worthwhile. Just look at the base stand, it's quite original.
