    The Lakers are going to waltz to the Finals this year, again.

    That's old Pra for you! I can't believe the Blazers fired him.

    Mike Barrett is Vin Scully compared to Pete "Pra". God, Pra is just terrible, plus he sounds like he's announcing from the bottom of a well.

    Yeah, I don't know why but I never liked Pete Pranica's calls. Eddie Doucette was better than him.

    It reminds me of the 2 jinx threads on the last day of the regular season.

    Sad, considering those of us in Portland got the "I'm just here for the paycheck" version of Doucette, who was actually a great announcer during the USA Network/NBA days, if anybody else remembers those days.

    My thread wasn't actually a jinx thread, though, since the Blazers did end up getting Dallas, as the Lakers won the game against Sacto.

    KingSpeed authored he counter-jinx thread that broke my jinx.

    That shot by Neal can potentially be looked back as the turning point of the series. Wow. The magnitude of that shot cannot be understated.

    Only if the Spurs go on to win the series. Otherwise, it might easily be forgotten in playoffs lore.

    I'm just glad Pra woke up from his nap to actually acknowledge that the shot went in.

    Also, Roy's Game 4 is in the same category, unfortunately. It doesn't mean much if his team can't win the series.

    Just baffled at why they didn't foul him when they were up three.

    I don't see many coaches go for that strategy. I wonder why. I guess most coaches think players are more saavy now and may go into a shooting motion when they see a foul coming.

    He has always played the same, and the odds of us ever again getting a big man with that much game seem astronomical. Easily the best PF this team has ever had.

    Some Portland fans are just less knowledgeable about the game and merely parrot the nonsense trumpeted by the Big O in bashing certain former players.

    I would trade Aldridge, Roy and Oden for him in a heartbeat.
