let me get this straight

the wolves weren't good enough to beat the Lakers, but they could do better vs. the Pistons?

based upon what logic?

Yes I believe that is what he meant.

The Lakers are a much better team than the Pistons.

It's actually pretty simple.

[stalking_WOLF_21]

i meant for defensive reasons. the wolves 5th in "d" and pistons don't were there ranked. the laker are better because they beet the wolves

[stalking_WOLF_21]

man did the lakers get killed or what.
86 to 68. isn't 68 that a laker playoff low.
minew_m/podstock now do you think they have a good defensive team.

[podstock]

sure, the Pistons have good and/or great defense.

but I refuse to believe that the Lakers can lose this series when they've beaten the best team out there - the Spurs

thanks to the refs for calling fouls on the Lakers, but not calling fouls on the Pistons

it always helps to score when Kobe's got 2 quick fouls and Shaq 3 of them.

if you don't think people clutch and grab Kobe, perhaps you should wear glasses.

If Kobe is going to be called for a foul for grabbing Hamilton, then the SAME foul should be called on Rick, or Tayshaun, etc.

[stalking_WOLF_21]

you can not blame the loss on the refs.
shaq also gets away with alot to.
he walks with the ball, he goes over the back, and pushes around. the refs didn't make the lakers score 68 points. kobe was 4 for 11 shooting

lololol .....

[cardbuyer66]

lol. POD-want to bet on the series? I do believe the Pistons will beat the Lakers. Ill make a big get on it too

[podstock]

Sorry, Cardbuyer....

I don't bet on a team that has no heart.

I don't mind losing (and I often do when it comes to betting on my UCLA Bruins football and basketball team)....

but I won't lose money or cards on a team with no heart, no passion, and who play when they feel like it.

[cardbuyer66]

I agree there. The pistons are the opposite (and pacers would have been too) I'll gladly bet and lose on a team that plays their hearts out then put money or cards on a favored team that doesnt show up. I will give anyone 2-1 odds who wants lakers in a bet
