Randy, you stupid, moron, hater, idiot! Only the Spurs benefit from good play and an ability to rally, not the Lakers! What is the matter with you! The Lakers clear advantage in the paint (54 to 40), Kobe's driving the lane and forcing fouls to put himself on the line 15 times, the Lakers advantage in virtually every category except from beyond the arch, had nothing to do with it, the refs took it as a personal challenge to see if they could give LA the win from 19 down. Never mind that if Memphis had made even 8 of the FT's they missed while going for .500 from the line and they win this game. Never mind Memphis' TOTAL meltdown in the 2nd and 3rd when they very stupidly fell into LA's hands and tried to beat them from the perimeter, never mind that LA lived in the post, easily explaining the foul shooting disparity, never mind LA's defense in those same 2 previously mentioned quarters forcing the bulk of the turnovers that LA converted to 24 points.
No, I take it back Randy, only a stupid, moron, hater, demented delusional conspiracy theorist IDIOT would ignore the Spurs 29-13 FT advantage and chalk up their win to good play instead of good old homecookin' while not giving LA the same credit. It's sure good we have no one like THAT on this board huh, Randy?
Wouldn't you agree Randy, it must be convenient and perfectly gratifying to know that win or lose, you still win if you believe the only way LA wins is if they have it handed to them so that if the win a ring, they didn't earn it, but if they don't, it only means the game was played and called fair. The only problem with that, it seems to me, is that if any hopelessly embicilic fool believed in such a theory, how could they explain away the Spurs winning it all last year? Wouldn't it seem to contradict the conspiracy theory? Oh wait, that theory is only for when you can't come up with any real, legitimate, plausible, logical reasons for the fact that LA is loaded with talent and despite the best efforts of brain dead haters, prove regularly that they can beat anyone, ON TALENT AND SKILL ALONE!!!
Boy, I will tell you Randy, it is sure good to know we have no one THAT stupid on our board!
