Turk is their best player right now imo.

Overall? He's their 4th best player when Jameer Nelson is healthy.

I'm a sucker for big guys who can play point, its what I used to do. But, I really like Turk so I am probably way overrating him. He is such a matchup problem.

With he and Lewis, they have some freaky match up problems on the wings.

Yeah they sure do. Lewis is good, but how the hell does he only get 3 points last night?

howard should just pork up to 330 so he can run people over. shaq didn't have a jumper either but he was massive enough to bull his way to 26-29 ppg in his best years.

 

Shaq's footwork and touch around the basket was a lot better than Howard's is now. Plus he was a good passer out of double teams and didn't spaz out like Dwight has a tendency to do when he's pressured.

By "spaz out" I'm assuming that you mean throw elbows.

Interesting story by John Hollinger about whether or not the Magic made the right decision by not fouling Kobe when got the ball with 11 seconds left in Game 4.

What I wish David Stern would have said:

 

"And the NBA Finals MVP award goes to ... Adam Morrison.

 

 

Nah, I'm just effing with you, it's Kobe."

Come on guys, just burn down Staples while you're throwing fireworks at the cops.

 

I love the fact that the city can't afford a parade. Muhahaha.

It ain't over yet for Kobe. He still hasn't won a championship without a great HC.

Are we going to not count any of Kobe or MJ or Russell's championships because of that?

No problem. Much like the Boston "Babe Curse", I'm glad we don't have to hear about Kobe needing to win a title without Shaq to prove his "place" in the game.

It's too bad a great NBA playoffs had to end with a snoozer of a finals, but congrats to the Lakers.

Uh Peyton still sucks in the playoffs. He just had one year where the defense went from crap to great.

 

Anyways yeah Lakers win title joy :banghead: ... at least the Rockets pushed them the most and that was without half our team.
