"The two Lakers fans drove to Sacramento, after they bought two ten dollar tickets to view the game on the big screen in the Staples Center!"

I can top that one. You know the expression "There's no tomorrow"? That comes from the Lakers. Back in the sixties, after another agonizing loss to the Celtics in game seven, Ray Felix, one of the Laker centers before Wilt, tried to console his teammates by saying "Don't worry guys, we'll get them tomorrow".

A perturbed Hot Rod Huntley snapped back, "You idiot, there is no tomorrow"!

BTW did those Sacramento fans get good seats for the finals?

I think you mean Lakers fans?

They sat in the Budwieser tent in the parking lot, with a few hundred Kings fans that could not buy tickets.

Penny Marshall, who can't decide whether she is a Lakers or Kings fan, loved game seven! She was disappointed though that the Kings chose that game to totally defeat themselves. As were most Kings fans.

But, it is a learning process. Kings learned a lot this year, they will be there again next year and we will see if this loss made them strong.

The Lakers/Kings series was the finals.

The slogan up here in Cow Town is, "beetle hay!".
