How Do The Lakers Not Win Game 6???

[forsberg21]

This is a lock. There's no way the Lakers lose this elimination game at home.

It's an indisputable fact that refs have a bias towards the home team in the NBA playoffs, especially if it's a big market team like the Lakers. We just saw this during the past 3 games in Boston.

David Stern would love to see a Game 7 and put a dent in that $400 million that the NBA lost this season.

Kobe is going to get every single 50/50 call go his way and Boston is going to run into foul trouble. The refs will look for any excuse possible to T up Rasheed.

My $$$ is on the Lakers ML in Game 6.

[RevolverOcelot]

I think the Lakers take game 6 as well.

[VTranX]

people said LA game 5 was a lock, then what happened?

[idontlikerocks]

there is always a home field advantage in the nba, as well as in many sports, why would it change in the playoffs?

[Holtgetsback]

Here's how:

Boston would die for each other

LA just happy to be here

Like who? Game 5 could have gone either way for either team, I stayed away from it. The Lakers NEED to win this one. They will, with either a little, or a lot of help from the refs.

[ioconitrillo]

I agree, or a awesome night of KOBE BRYANT!

[hoopster42]

maybe the same way they did not win game 2

You can't compare what was at stake at Game 2 with with is at stake in Game 6.

If the Lakers lose, they are out. They know this. The refs know this. The fans know this. David Stern knows this.

Game 6 belongs to the Lakers, Game 7 is a coin flip.

other than 2005 between detroit and san antonio, when is the last time a finals series has gone to a game seven?

[Sunde91]

How did the Cavs lose game 5?
How did the Magic lose game 1 and 2?

you keep betting that stern is instructing the refs what to do and just take the moneylines on which teams are "supposed to win because stern wants it" and see how it works out for you in the long term dude

I didn't know that the 2004 NBA Final had a bearing on this series?

The Magic lost because they had VC on their team. This guy shares genes with his cousin Tracy McGrady, and we all know T Mac's record on the post season, he's still batting 0 for.

The Cavs lost because LeBron simply isn't the same money player in the big games as Kobe is.

Lakers ML in Game 6.

the point is that stern and the nba would love every finals series to go seven games but most of the time it doesnt and theres not a damn thing he can do about it because if he "instructs" the refs to call it a certain way then someone would have said something by now after all these years and years of "instructing" by stern

[hoopster42]

youre using lazy handicapping and will be a long term loser with lazy opinions like this. the celtics are clearly bothering the lakers and have a great great chance to win game six in staples

Now you're putting words into my mouth. I never said the words instructs. You heard about the Tim Donaghy fiasco, right? You heard about the the Sacramento/LA Lakers game being fixed to force a Game 7 years ago, right? Well in that situation, the league never actually "instructed" their refs to hand the game over to the Lakers. They sent out a memo, along with a videotape, to the refs about how Kobe Bryant wasn't drawing fouls against the Kings in cases where a foul should have been called. You see where this is going? The league absolved itself of any wrongdoing this way, while at the same time, they influenced the outcome of the game. You'd be pretty naive to think that the league doesn't have a preference for this series to go to 7 games. The preference is obviously there, and I'm sure something will be done, even mild, to act on that preference.

If you are so against my posts Hoopster, then let's make a wager for points. I'm willing to go all in with my 128 points on Lakers ML, what kind of line will you give me?

[hoopster42]

[forsberg21]

So all of these posts and now you're backing out? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and stop being a little bltch? It's nothing personal dude.

[jjgold]

How??

Boston is better
Boston has a better 10 players
Kobe played great and they still lost

[no1here]

Boston won with the calls going there way which will not be the case in LA.

[Vegas Jake]

This thing is going down to the last minute of game 7.

[hoopster42]

So all of these posts and now you're backing out? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and stop being a little bltch? It's nothing personal dude.

how many times do i have to tell you that i already wagered on boston to win the series +125 yesterday with paco? if i had any more points, i would take yours away from you little boy

good call Forser although without Perkins is was a lot easier

I've never posted a play before, but I was sure about this one. All the signs pointed to a Game 7. Too bad about the chalk on the ML though. I have no play on Game 7, I think it's a coin flip. Celtics at anything above +150 is good value.

[hoopster42]

all perkins is is the best frontcourt defender for the celtics so yeah, it was a lot easier without him in there for the celtics

[forsberg21]

Regardless, there's no way Perkins was going to make up the 22 points the Celtics lost by. The Celtics scored 67 points in this one, their offense was completely suffocated by the Lakers. I thought that the Lakers were going to have to get a ton of help from the referees to pull this one off, but they won this game straight up, fair and square.

[jeffksu]

Great call, as I trailed on the play as well...Bigggggg game 7
