yeah kinda like he did when Maimi won the title with shaq...who has back kobe in this? fishy but the league will be fishy till stern leaves.
Yeah I already explained to my wife.. the day they win, I will just lose it. I will not be going to work for a week, and without a doubt will be crying tears of joy for a while that day!
And now you see the difference between having a big team and a small team. Now you can see the difference between guarding Turkoglu (6'9"+) with Delonte West (6'3) or Mo Williams (6'4") instead of a Trevor Ariza (6'8"), Lamar Odom (6'10"), Luke Walton (6'8") or even Kobe. This is why I harped all season "Go big". It doesn't matter if you don't have as much speed as the other team, as long as you have "enough" speed.
This notion Laker fans aren't loud is a myth. Go sit up in the high level seats when you get a chance and you'll see how rowdy it gets. I know the fans in the expensive courtside seats don't have much of a reaction, but there's plenty of high energy level fans throughout the arena. Lakers sell out every seat in the house all season long.
I don't really see how anyone can judge how loud a stadium is based on a television broadcast, anyway. How they have it mic'd up and mixed with other sound really impacts how it comes across on the TV. Ed O.
Exactly. I'm not sure what the seating compacity or square footage Staples is compared to other basketball venues, but I imagine it's one of the larger ones so the sound isn't going to be as amplied like it would in Sacramento.
I have to say, I was at the Houston game last November (when Roy hit those last two incredible shots to win the game) and I have never heard a place so loud...I thought my ears were going to bleed. I loved it though! I don't get that same impression from Staples Center...even if it is on TV.
I went to a Promise Keepers event there years ago and I mainly remember getting the worst sun burn ever...sat on the "sun" side I guess.
I had to check my pants there. Lee's gotta be kicking himself for missing those two close lay-ups late. Still got a chance though.
Watching this, I'm sorta glad we're not in the finals. I can't stand how games, and titles are determined by a few plays, and a few bad calls. That Courtney Lee miss could come back to really cost the Magic. That was a point blank layup! But how about Hedo? I wouldn't mind having him in a Blazer uniform. He is clutch.
