1. Loved the no-calls that applied to the Lakers. The refs deserve credit for letting LA play on.
Not to mention the clutch traveling basket by Gasol.

6. Lakers getting all the calls? Clearly you jest...
That never, ever happens.

:eyes:

The NBA is a farce.

But I still watch. :(

9. Did you see the traveling on Gasol? Or Pierce getting raped in the lane?
Oh well. The consolation is that the NBA is slowly sinking into obscurity.

21. I almost gave up around January...
And then the Jazz pulled me back in with their great run at the end of the season.

Even had me convinced when we beat Denver short handed that we could maybe contend against the Lakers.

Then I realized it was just Denver and they suck. :rofl:

8. OK, thanks. You miss words sometimes, so I thought you might
be from somewhere else. For instance,

I live in Northern New Mexico {MY} whole my life!!!!

We've had some people from other countries on here, so thought I'd ask.

15. Yes. But now I know you are Spanish, and that explains it.

Thanks. And for the record, you speak English a heck of a lot better than I speak Spanish, but the way you post questions had me stumped.

Very cool of you to jump in! :thumbsup:

And fyi, again, Obama would invite the Lakers "To" the White House.

18. Bah.
Without Kobe the Lakers are nothing.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go sob uncontrollably into my pillow.

Not really though--I've never been more glad I was a football fan first and foremost until tonight.
