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.
