+8 for me so push as I had the Spurs holding the spread. I was also smart to pick under on the game total (194) which finished at 192.

Also, if the Lakers win it all, Memphis needs a ring for basically loaning Pau. :rofl:

Kobe looks like he's ready to rape another girl.
Good for Trevor I guess.

One thing that hurt the Spurs IMO was the stupid trade away of Luis Scola. He could have been a young piece to help contribute. But the owner wasn't willing to pay the luxury tax.

Definitely, Scola would have been great. Can rebound and hustle, is the "Big Manu" as the Rockets like to call him.

Oh yeah and also I would be pissed as hell if Sasha did that to my team. That was lame, as bad as Ricky Davis shooting at his own basket to get a triple double.

Splitter just signed an extension with his team in Spain. He's not coming over this year. Another first round pick wasted by the Spurs....

The Spurs front office has been overrated the past few years. They've wasted their draft picks on Euro players that don;t play for them and have failed to bring in young players.

I'm speechless. It feels like forever since the Lakers've been here. I could cry right now, but that's not really manly, so I'll just go to bed.

Damn, I guess that makes the Rockets the 3rd best in the league.

This Laker team may be unbeatable in the coming years, provided they stay healthy. All they need is to address the point guard position. Is Farmer their future starter? Being the Showtime Lakers, playing in L.A., is enough for some talented point guard to take a paycut and sign for the MLE.
