They really NEED the win tomorrow. They can definitely win both at home. The game that they lost at home they really weren't taking seriously. Just look at the way they played. No D and too many turnovers. I bet you they wish they had that game back!
And the second game they only won because of Kobe's miracle shot.

a miracle shot is:
1. Derek Fisher catching and shooting in 0.4 seconds
2. Tim Duncan making a fall-away, fade-away 20 footer with Shaq all over him - when was the last time you saw Duncan making that type of shot?
Answer: never. Centers/power forwards do not shoot fall-away, fade-away shots 20-foot from the basket.
Kobe had 6.6 seconds (an eternity for a basketball player), he had several dribbles to set himself; Hamilton was nearby, but gave him room to extend his arms.
Kobe did what clutch shooters do: make the shot

Fine, if you want to put it that way:
The only reason the lakers won was because of Kobes "clutch" shot.
Happy? :pLast edited by insanefishpossay; 06-14-2004 at 07:33 PM.

Lol, the playoffs are filled with these types of shots. You can question almost any Championship winner from the past. You can't question all of Jordan's "miracle" shots. He had the skill to make them. The better team won that night. Same for the Kobe shot. Lakers just let the Pistons slip into the game in the fourth quarter and Kobe bailed them out. It wasn't really miracle or luck, just a shot that he has made plenty of times.

Here are the stats of Kobe's teammates (notwithstanding Shaq) in the NBA Finals:
Derek Fisher: 8 field goals in 30 attempts (26.67%)
Gary Payton: 8-25 (32%)
Malone: 8-24 (33.33%)
Devean George: 9-22 (40.91%)
Kareem Rush: 5-16 (31.25%)
Slava: 2-9 (22%)
Rick Fox 1-4 (25%)
LOOK AT THOSE STATS - you can check these stats by going to sportsline.com and looking at the box scores, then add up their makes and misses.
Most players shoot 40% from the field. The good shooters make 45%, and the great ones are 45%+
You're telling me Kobe should be giving those guys more chances to miss?
Have you been watching the Finals?
They are getting open shots .... maybe not wide open shots. But, this is the NBA. You're not supposed to be shooting with no one in your face.
That's why most of us can't play in the NBA: we can't make shots with someone in our face.

6/15/04: 100-87, as the Pistons make history by sweeping all 3 home games of the 2-3-2 NBA Finals format, the first team ever to do so.
You know why we all are so passionate about sports?
B/c sports shows us that if you believe, if you care, if you desire, and if you are willing,
you can do anything.
NO ONE, and I repeat, NO ONE would have predicted the Pistons could beat the Lakers (except for Pistons fans).
I cried back in 1989 as a kid, watching the Pistons beat my Lakers without Magic and Byron Scott (2 of the 5 starters) playing in games 2, 3, or 4. And don't forget, Lakers were 11-0 in the playoffs before Scott and Magic injured their hamstrings.
But, this Lakers defeat at the hands of the Pistons meant nothing to me.
why?
who the fark cares whether $30M Kobe and $30M Shaq win or lose? Either way, they go home to their mansions, wives, and mistresses.
who the fark cares about a team that plays when it feels like it; and doesn't play when it doesn't feel like it.
I love the Lakers to death....but, I have no remorse as I see the final score. And I didn't even watch the game.
The Pistons deserve the championship. The better team won. And congrats to the Pistons - who showed their heart, passion, and desire.
Unlike life, where you automatically succeed if you are the son/daughter of a Donald Trump, in sports, NOTHING is given to you. You must go out and earn it.
what a sad state of affairs when I, as a Lakers fan, could care less that the Lakers lost.
