The refs cost the Nets the game - NOT! Shaq is a man among mice.

The Lakers are awsome...sign one young power forward, and a quick point guard and it's over for a decade. Shaq is only 30 and Kobe 23....awsome

I absolutely agree. What are the Nets going to do about Shaq when the Lakers really get it in gear. I can foresee him scoring 50.

Was there ever any doubt? Not! I stopped counting uncalled offensive fouls on Shaq at 6. Even Bill Walton, that motormouth, pointed those out. The whole series is a joke! hahahha. Don't make book on New Jersey!

Your absolutely right. This series is bought and paid for. The Nets have so much talent there's no way the Lakers can compete with it. After all, they have MacCulloch.

You've got it figured out! In fact... I'll bet you that LA will win the series... based on your assessment of the situation! What say, $50.00? Just kidding Administrator... no wagering... allowed. Just trying to make a point.

Why should I have anything to worry about? The NBA has already set this up with the officials.

The Lakers should sweep: All the teams in the west that made the playoffs are better than the east (New Jersey)

Don't forget that the baskets were imperceptibly shaking as well when the Nets missed 15 freethrows out of 26.

Yup. If the Nets were in the West, they would be a #6 seed. The Blazers were a #7, and you know what the Lakers did to them.
