Kings 9 up with 9 mins to go. They might just edge this one. I say Kings by 5 points.

The Kings are up by 9 with 5 to go.

Yeah Kobe is trying to imitate MJ and all thse TV analysts think that Kobe is as good as MJ, they're smoking crack if you ask me.

How about Bobby Jackson?

And heres a question, What announcer do you hate the most?

For me it has to be Bill Walton, the guy is just horrible. :x

Its his voice it just annoys me for some reason. Some former players should just need to stay retired.

For me, it's the shirt alone. Come on, couldn't they get a better design for that?
(of course it will turn out to be the design of twenty needy children, after I post this, man I should check these things before just posting crap. Actually, I'll check it right now and if I feel the need, I'll delete this post)

down with 19 secs to go

kobe isnt faking food poisoning, the tv showed him getting iv treatments on the sideline

Vlade played a big part in the game, i mean, he really started to break a sweat after getting the first flop call to go his way :roll: . shaq really was starting to heat up then but oh well, he got his third foul in the second quarter and the kings took control then :?

Who cares if Divac flops, I've seen Fisher flop plenty of times and I'm sure you weren't complaining when Divac was a Laker. :wink:

And the Kings win. :!: :D

Still, this is too coincidental.

It's true that Walton's voice is a bit annoying. :wink:

Too good the Kings won, hope they can crash the Lakers on their home court! :2gunfire: :snipersmile: Die, die Lakers!

It just goes to show you that Kobe isn't at MJ's level or else he would've had forty and the game winning shot.

Lets just hope the Kings can take at least one of two down in LA, would be even better if they take both though. :D

Exactly. He tries to be MJ but he is no MJ.

Do you think home court advantage is really that important to the Kings/Lakers?

I think that homecourt is more important for the Kings rather than the Lakers. The Lakers are used to being and winning in hostile enviroments as there 12 win road game streak showed. The Kings just seem to play better at home but should be able to pull through while playing in LA.

I think Kings can win once on Lakers home, but not more. The mere fact they found it so hard to win in their own home, points to the winner of the series. I'd love to be mistaken, but don't think I will, this time.

That's want worry me, how can they lose their first home game? I guess the Kings still have chance, but the road will prove to be a lot harder this way.

I'm a little skeptical about the King's chances to win a game in LA but its going to have to wait until Friday. I just wish the NBA would schedule the games a little closer, it only takes a hour to go from Sac to LA on a plane.

May be they are trying to give them enough time for preparation. Actually, I'm as sceptical as you are, just that I can't admit! :cry:

I know that they have their schedule like that because they get more viewers but as a fan I just want to see more games instead of waiting for a couple of days.


Have you noticed that some of the avs are smaller/bigger or is it just me? :?
