    Tyronn Lue. Tyronn Lue. Happy they pick him over Penberthy and Rider now, eh?

    Now Mutombo has decided to take over Rasheed Wallace's role in missing crucial free throws in the closing minutes.

    As Reggie would do : [​IMG]uts hands around neck::

    Now Shaq will get a foul on Mutombo in OT and the game will be over.

    Philadelphia could've won this game if they just gave Iverson the ball on the last possession. I know Lue guarded him closely. But set screens, etc-- you can at least let him touch the ball. And I'd prefer Ivy shooting over 3 people instead of that ridiculous heave Snow threw up. The Lakers gave the Sixers every opportunity to win... the Sixers were just too stupid to take advantage.

    HAHA! This was so premature it's embarrassing! The only hand around the throat was seen by LA coughing up homecourt advantage! HAHA!

    Gotta love people who come in here and make fools of themselves. Thanks for disabling the "delete" feature, Clutch. [​IMG]

    Cat, I thought you were going for the Lakers? Why the switch? For whatever reason, good on you!

    God, can someone just have a LIIIIIITLE patience?

    Notice how everyone is so ready to jump on the Laker bandwagon.

    Face it, kids. THEY ARE NOT GONNA WIN.

    Mutombo can play Shaq(when he is in the game). McKey can guard Kobe. And Iverson is on a freakin mission.

    And by the way, can we stop with the Second Coming already? Jordan NEVER, EVER, EVER disappeared like Kobe did. And Jordan was guarded by Dumars, Drexler, Majerle, and GARY PAYTON. All of these players played WAY BETTER defense than anyone of the Sixers could on Kobe. And where was the Kobester?

    MUAHAHAHA!

    And no offense, Kitty Cat. But you are all over the place with your rooting, dont you think? [​IMG]

    Hell no!!! There are times I say things I don't completely mean out of frustration. The Sixers frustrated me a lot against the Raptors and Bucks, but their game 7 performance was inspirational, and this game 1 was magnificent. I'm converted. SIXERS ALL THE WAY!!!

    Not only me, but everyone thought at that point that the Sixers were choking and were going to lose that game. I'm not on the Lakers bandwagon, I hate the Lakers, I hate Shaq, I just don't think the Sixers will win the series.

    I still can't believe Mutombo choked, but he made it up with his great defense on Shaq during OT which I didn't think he (or anyone) was capable of doing.
