One last thing...

 

Consider what they accomplished during their most recent run: Coach Jackson, already in a league of his own in terms of playoff winning percentage, passed Pat Riley for most playoff wins (155) and tied Red Auerbach for most championships (9). Shaquille O'Neal won his third straight Finals MVP award, averaging 36.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and setting four-game Finals records for total points (145), free throws made (45) and attempted (68) and blocks (11). Bryant, all of 23 years old, brought a daunting all-around game with 26.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while turning in a couple of clutch fourth-quarter performances.

 

Perhaps more importantly, the team showed resilience, overcoming a 3-2 deficit in the conference finals to win that series in seven games, in overtime, on the road in the league's toughest arena. Looking all the better for it, they swept through the Finals with nary a worry.

 

See you all again next year.

 

Now back to our originally scheduled programming... :eek::wave:

Oops!!

 

Now you've done it, I think Steadyb wanted to be the last poster in the thread, he earned that didnt he?

 

It doesnt matter, it's his, he's claimed it and he will show you that in just a minute! By the way Rabid, I guess the draft is rapped up in 2 main players. Ming, and Jay Williams, Houston's gonna pick Ming they say because they certainly dont need a guard.

TROLL . . . ish.

Wow. I didn't know you still felt so strongly. Are we still harboring a little bitterness over losing, as your signature indicates???

 

By all means, please have the last word, just don't forget to use apostrophes where necessary.

 

Mecca will never be as great as Magpel! NEVER!!! :P:rolleyes:

Sorry Mecca, I didn't realize it was a rhetorical question.
It was? Geee. I did not realize that. I thought I really liked debating the draft. The reason I did not post my own guess is I have no idea who to put 3 through 5.

Patience, my young Paduan. Adhering A napkin on the forehead is a delicate procedure that can not be rushed...I'll be borrowing the digital camera tonight, though I *will not* be explaining why.

By the way, when do we get to see that???

Regardless of any extenuating circumstances, this thread must die soon. It has been on life-support since the Lakers showed their dominance.

 

I am recommending that the most appropriate finale to the NBA Thread will be the highly-anticipated feminine product/forehead photo, with perhaps one small closing comment by the thread MVP.

 

Personally, this will be my last post in this thread. It's been fun. I'd like to thank the Academy, as well as steadyb, Dan South, Magpel, Mecca, Steve, dB, Paul Dirks formerly of iZ, Phil Jackson, Shaq, Kobe, Horry, Fox, Fisher, Mad Dog Madsen, Mitch Richmond, Brian Shaw, Bibby, Webber, Vlade, Jason Kidd, Byron Scott, and Dr. James A. Naismith.

Good idea. Then Dave could lock it. Or, we could just revive the same thread next season. Or, Dave could lock it and not unlock it until next season.

Easy b, I was just being silly. Remember I picked the Lakers to win from the jump, we all must bow down.

 

Bitterness...yes, but only toward the refs.
