********** PISTONS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! **********

[UrbScotty]

We, with our sexy Governor, are three games away from conquering the Los Angeles Lakers Evil Empire!

[Spinzonner]

1. Remember the Spurs ?

They were two games away.

Easier said than done, apparently.

[UrbScotty]

2. Too bad. Lakers are losing, 1-0!!!!!!!!!

History, as fun as it is to study, won't change that! :-)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Yeah!!! Fuck Kobe Bryant!!!

I hate that son of a bitch, and I don't even think he's guilty.

[fujiyama]

4. LOL

Yeah, let them have their gropenator...

We have the very lovely Miss Granholm...

5. How's her outside shot

I dont think she can go inside.

Interesting that both states in the finals have Governors not native born.

[UrbScotty]

6. Yep...

[oblivious]

7. For those of us who get the game a day late.

Do you have to post the result in the thread title?

That is so inconsiderate. Do we have to avoid DU for the rest of the finals along with certain online newspapers that post the results in hedlines on the front page? I just can't believe people can do that.

[UrbScotty]

15. Then move somewhere where the game is aired LIVE!

Duh, Sherlock!

19. Thanks for your helpful advice.

Not that you'd be interested, but here's an example of good discussion board etiquette:

Title: NBA Finals, Pistons @ Lakers, GAME ONE thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1239173

Anyone who is interested in talking about the game knows this is the thread to visit, and those who can't see it live or who are videotaping it to watch later know not to open the thread until they've seen the game. Quite a classy, considerate poster, I'd say (Paragon).

8. I'm rooting for The Pistons

Remember, though, when Brown was with the Sixers, he won game 1 against the Lakers - and then lost the rest.

Brown left a bitter taste with me, but my Lakers dislike trumps that.

9. !!!!!!!!!!!!SHAQ CALLED FOR 3 SECOND VIOLATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT is news.

10. Go Pistons... because you aren't the Lakers.

Geez, the finals suck this year. Detroit caught the Lakers napping... something that I doubt will happen again.

If you need me, I'll just be over here crying for my Spurs and T-wolves. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Qanisqineq]

12. as a T-wolves fan and the wife of a Pacers fan...

I agree with you, the finals suck this year

[afraid_of_the_dark]

13. Come on over...

There's plenty of room over here in this corner to commiserate. :cry:

I just can't sit and watch the Lakers win another title, especially with this team. I'm surprised they didn't have to add on to the Staples Center to accommodate Payton and Malone's egos!

[UrbScotty]

16. The Finals NEVER suck with the Pistons in them! (nt)

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

11. Pacers fan gives two thumbs WAY up

I sat gleefully giggling the whole game! Go Eastern Conference! Mismatched blow out indeed!

[bif]

14. Pistons in 4!

Gotta love 'em!

[UrbScotty]

17. You never know, do you? (nt)

18. What I like to watch is how the sports writers jump back and forth

from whatever team is ahead.

It's all Lakers, it's all Pistons, it's all Lakers. It's like they can make their last column disappear or something. :eyes:
