If you're a Laker fan, you've got to be pulling for the Pistons to come out of the East as the opponent for the NBA Finals. We've already beaten Indiana in 2000 and Ne wJersey in 2002. Detroit split NBA Titles with us in 89 and 90 and since they won the secons time around, we owe it to them to Fuck Them Up this time around in the finals. Too bad we couldn't get Nut-Sac one more time and take their heart likie we did to San Antonio.
Ona side note, good job timberwolves, what a great season yall had!

what makes you so sure that the lakers are the ones heading to the finals hmmmmmmm?
24 years experience of watching nba basketball. Care to wager?
The regular season Lakers and the Playoff Lakers are two completely different animals. Minnesota can't stop them and neither detroit or indiana poses a real challenge. The Lakers are too experienced and mentally strong in the playoffs to not take the trophy home.
And btw, all the haters love to talk about all the horseshit that the media posts about this 'shaq vs. kobe' shit and 'Golly gee beav, there is some crazy inner turmoil with the Lakers team' crap. It's bullshizzle and only fuels the fire, bring it on you bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Detroit advances to the East finals in 7 games over New Jersey. Looks to me like Indiana wasn't real sharp in their series and given the pistons defense, I think we may be on our way to a Detroit/LA Lakers NBA Finals. Looking good so far!
Detroit needs to man up and take game 2. If they win game 2 and 3, we could be looking at a rematch of 89. Go ahead and pencil the Lakers in, pistons just need to keep their end of the bargain.
