Edward Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 this is the guy i'm talking about link talks about him http://www.indystar.com/articles/7/149569-2757-036.html OK, that guy. I've never seen him sitting next to Nicholson though. Everytime I see Nicholson, Altman is sitting next to him (on the right I believe). I still say the Lakers in 6, remember the 76ers won game one a few years ago. Thanks for the clarification, KDD. I think that you must be right - the guy whom I am talking about I have seen sitting next to Jack on the floor for many years now. Altman looks pretty damn good for 79! I am not too happy with the Lakers' effort on Sunday, but I have faith in their ability to make the appropriate adjustments. One of the things that I like best about Karl Malone is that he is so hard on himself after he has had a bad game. I expect some big performances from him before this series is over.

Soulstation1 Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 the lakers will be ready tonight! feed the ball to shaq 1000 times if they guard him one on one. mailman was a no-show, i thought he wanted to win a title? stuart scott asked ben wallace about his hair, it should be down tonight ss1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 The Lakers are still in it, thanks to Shaq's and-one and Kobe's heroics. Down 6 with 53 seconds left, I thought we were sunk! I think the Lakers should continue running that p&r from the left wing with Kobe next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 That was a GREAT shot by Kobe, way outside the three point line. Hamilton shoulda been up in his face a bit more, like the announcers mentioned. I think that shot deflated the Pistons, and they never recovered from it. They should have fouled Shaq when he got his hands on the inbound pass. Could have ended the game right there & then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Why was Hamilton guarding Kobe? Should've been Tayshaun, and then that shot would've been much harder. Great shot, though. The next three are in Detroit. Considering that they almost won last night, I would think people are taking them much more seriously now. I think they will win two in Detroit.

Soulstation1 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 once it went to ot, i knew it was the lakers game the pistons lost focus and energy after k o b e's shot heck of a game i was worried............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 That was a deflating shot. I don't know why they didn't foul somebody away from the ball. Send them to the line. Worse case scenario you'll still up one with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 maybe the lakers tricked the pistons by bringing shaq to the ball instead of camping under the hoop. they shoulda fouled shaq what's up with ben wallace aka the best defender in the league flopping vs da daddy? ben must have seen some old "floppy" divac film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 (edited) They DID foul Shaq, but at exactly the wrong time. Up by 6 with seconds left, they could have just let Shaq dunk and won the game. At the very least, they would have made the Lakers put them on the foul line. But they gave Shaq a 3-point play to set up Kobe for the tie! Great game!

jack Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Good game! Kobe comes through in he last seconds. The Pistons did hang tough the entire game. No huge leads by either team. The games in Detroit should be exciting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 what's up with ben wallace aka the best defender in the league flopping vs da daddy? ben must have seen some old "floppy" divac film Who are they going to call the foul on if no flopping? Ben or Shaq? Ben's no dummy. Plus, Shaq out-weighs him by what, 100lbs? What else can he do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 shaq's got him by at least a hun' if there was 1 human being in the world who could hand and bang with the daddy, he'd have a job in the nba. the worm was the last guy who could "d" up shaq. it would be funny as hell if the lakers won the title with the mailman riding the bench, hurt. he'd wants to earn the title, not have it given to him. it could make him come back for more year. karl's knee is funked up! luuuuuuke walton has joined michael "cooooop" in the lakers' name of fame bill "goofy ass" walton has to be proud of his son i miss chick hearn, the greatest b-ball announcer ever ss1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Speaking of Chick, I couldn't believe that bum Al Michaels had the rotten gall to put the game in "the fridge" as last night's game came to an end. He's not even in the same GALAXY as Chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) al didn't even get it right. this is it ''You can put this one in the refrigerator.

Noj Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 No one puts it in the fridge but Chick. Sunderland, who took over for Chick, has only referred to it--he has never actually quoted Chick's patented phrase. I'm not cool with listening to Al and Doc talk all game about the Pistons and Larry Brown then try to end it with a Laker tradition that died with Chick after they realize the outcome.

Soulstation1 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 LOS ANGELES -- Chick Hearn, the Lakers' legendary play-by-play announcer, was credited with creating or popularizing some of basketball's most popular expressions. Here are a few: ''Slam dunk!'' Shouted as Laker stars Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal and others stuffed the ball from above the rim. ''Air ball'' and ''It didn't draw iron.'' Used to describe badly missed shots. ''Too much mustard on the hot dog,'' describing a player trying to be too fancy or spectacular. ''The mustard's off the hot dog,'' describing a blown showboating play, such as a missed slam dunk. ''No harm, no foul,'' for minor contact in what is ostensibly a non-contact sport. ''Ticky-tacky foul,'' when a referee calls a foul for minor, incidental contact. ''Caught with his hand in the cookie jar,'' for a player who commits a deliberate foul and is caught by the referees. ''He faked him into the popcorn machine'' For a defender badly faked out on a play. ''You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling.'' Said in the final minutes of a game, Hearn's way of saying there was no chance the team behind could mount a winning rally. -- The Associated Press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
