FIRST THINGS FIRST lets keep this sunday's action reserved to one thread. I hate having to repeat the same thing to a dozen threads all talking about the same thing. Also, I'm taking bets on who will be the moron who does it anyway. That said, let's move on.

I predicted that the Lakers were going to take this series on account that I believed the NBA wanted Lakers and Celts in the Finals. Now that Boston is out, so is my conspiracy theory. However, from a revenue and Nielsen rating point of view, the NBA and NBC still need at least Los Angeles ( I think the #2 or #3 market) to be in this year's Finals more than ever. NBC is in this for a lot of greenbacks and can't afford to see their advertising profits go belly up after such a great Conference Finals series on both coast. But who knows?

Anyway, the Kings do have a chance to pull this one out. Honestly, if they lose (fairly) I will not be too dissapointed. It's a big leap over last year's results and the start of a much more real rivalry. All I really want is a faily called game on both ends for both teams. Sure there will be some misshaps here and there but there always are. Leave the winning or losing up to the players on the court.

This one is going to be ugly folks. People are going to get hurt and technicals will be assessed. We may even see a scuffel or two and a possible ejection? When it's all said and done and the smoke clears, I predict we will be looking at a new WCF Champon in the Sacramento Kings.

Final score:
Kings 101
Lakers 100

I got my fingers crossed for the lakers but...

I am with you but i think that the score will be a little different with Mike bibby shooting the final shot and making it.
I love the lakers but the kings might be a little too much.
i never knew bibby was this caliber of a player.

Final Score
100 lakers
103 Kings

Hell, I don't think anyone did. I was talking to my bro yesterday during the game and I said it was a shame that J-Will could never get his shit together. Dude has mad skills and I believe he can score on just about anyone at will. Dude could make an absolute living just drivng the lane and either emabarrasing defenses or drawing the foul more often than not. Bibby does not have the pure natural talent that Williams posses but he has somethig much more important, brains. Raw talent will make you fameous but, a clear head and great heads-up plays will get you deep in the playoffs.

For all the talent Jason possed he could never once get us past the second round. That atrocious 4 game sweep by the Lakeshow was a huge wakeup call for Geoff Petrie. One year later we have "the other guard" who came out with J-Thrill and "wah la" we're Pacific Division Champs, slam the window shut on Utah, show the Mav's who's really the "Greatest Show on Court" and we're now in a game seven against the Two Time Deffending Champion Lakers for a trip to the Finals. What a diference a player makes, eh?

I still like Jason Williams and I sincerelly hope dude get his shit together (the Grizz' ARE a team to watch next year). So much talent and so little maturity. What a waste. :(

This is what its all about game 7...WHO WANTS IT MORE...

I just think that the Lakers have the edge in experience and there gonna be ready to silence that ARCO arena up...I think both clubs will have the same amount of desire to win this series but when its all said and done the Lakers will prove how BACK 2 BACK Champions take care of buisness in these type of situations...

For the betters...How you playin it????

Im goin with a parlay....I got the over which is 194...To the Lakers +2....

Final Score

Lakers 102
Kings 98

Round 7....LETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GETTTTTTTTTT READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOOOO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this thread will be repeated because fools are too dumb to know roman numerals...j will reminds me a lot of ron artest, in that they are both bad ass players, and could be all-stars, but never think before they act on the court...i expect the officials to be a non-factor, with 25 or less total fouls being called, and wouldn't be surprised if both teams stay out of the penalty for 42-45 minutes...webber will step up more than he has the entire postseason, esp. on the offensive glass...shaq will have a low double-double since he's too fat to ball like he did friday two games in a row...kobe will have at least 30 pts., and won't miss in the second half...horry and fox will hit some threes, but won't be a deciding factor...hunter, george, and fisher will combine for 20 or less...sac's bench will score at least 25, and all their starters will be in double figures...this will be an ugly one, and perhaps almost as good as the NJ/Indiana Game 5...wills will be tested, and techs and flagrants will be given
kings-109
lakers-106

(looks towards sky and prays)

Lying about what? Re-read my opening sentence man. I asked that we keep it centered in one thread.

Anyway, here's some quotes of interest I picked up while reading the local fishwrap this morning:

"With the series-deciding contest being played at Arco Arena, one might assume Kings star forward Chris Webber would be waiting for favorable whistles on the home front.

That assumption would be wrong.

"No, that's not good for (basketball)," he said. "Just call it like you see it."

Right on the money. I think that's all any of us could ask for. Let the players on the court decide California supremacy, not the zebras.

"Adelman disagreed with the Lakers' assessment that their playoff experience puts them in familiar territory today.

"They have been there before," he said, noting the Lakers winning Game 7 of the 2000 conference finals at home against Portland, "but not against us.

"They haven't played in Arco in a seventh game."

Added Bibby, "We ain't gonna let nobody take this one from us."

That's what I wanna hear.

"EL SEGUNDO -- No, no longer bored. The Lakers are right where they want to be, in a seventh game, at Arco Arena, eager to become the first team in franchise history to capture Game 7 of a conference finals on the road."

Ah history, gotta love it.

"So does it matter that the only Western Conference team to win a seventh game of the conference finals on the road was Phoenix at Golden State in 1976? Is Shaq hopeful that his Lakers can become the first team since the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics in 1982 to advance into the NBA Finals after clinching a seventh game on the road?"

Here's to history.

The referees did a lot better this time. They made a few questionable calls and missed some obvious ones. Neither side can complain though.

Make a free throw. For fucks sake, make a fucking free throw.

The Kings really shot themselves in the foot when they can't even make 60% of their FREE THROWS.

Fuck.

exactly....that could have had the game won if they shot free throws better. Bibby played his fuckin' heart out. I gotta give him props for the way he played this game and the entire season.
