All Time NBA Team

Thanks, guys. That was the first time I'd heard the name Flynn Robinson since my first childhood.

"It must be something he picked up from college."

No, Chick gave him the nickame when he was on the Lakers. Maybe he had that average at one point of the season, or during the 33 game win streak, I dunno. Take it up with Chick!

Basketball is a physical game. Sorry.

So in baseball, if the batter walks out to the mound and punches the pitcher because he is throwing really good strikes and the umps call an error on the pitcher, your Ok with that? If a football player jumps offsides and hits another player who draws a holding call when he falls, you are OK with that because football is a physical game? The Lakers didn't win because they are the best. They won because they cheated. I'm amazed at Laker fans who seem to be as blind as the refs. Cheating should never be condoned or excused.

LOL! I agree with you that cheating should not be allowed. So, you better keep Floppy Divac off your team, because he is the number 1 flopper in the NBA. They should give him an Academy Award.

Furthermore, all your friends on the Queens would foul out before the second half if every foul was called. They hammered Shaq every time he got the ball, just like any other team does.

By the way, did you see Game 5? That was the biggest travesty, not only of the series, but the year. You're right, this series should not have gone 7 games. The Lakers should have won in 6, if they weren't screwed in Game 5.

I saw all the games but I guess I did not watch game 5 as closely as you did. Shall we call it a draw?

If you want roundball, try the base variety. Thank God the NBL and the NHL are over. They should be DONE by the 1st of April and not start unitl 1 November. It's bad enough that we have to put up with them for 6 months of the year. We won't even TALK about the NFL. At least Baseball has the decency to stop during cold weather.

Yes. I think games 5 and 6 offset themselves. I agree that the officiating was really bad the whole series, and when your team loses a close series after really bad calls in a game, it's hard to accept. I do think the calls balanced themselves out over the whole series, though.

I went through the same thing myself, when the Lakers continuously lost to the Celtics. Those were really nasty players. However, I've found that once a team goes through all the obstacles, including problems with officiating, their time comes if they have persistence and learn from the defeats.

The NBL hasn't been in existence for over 50 years!

You see how much attention I pay to professional basketball?

NBA?
