The Lakers Need a Miracle (or two)
NBA June 17th. 2008, 10:29pm
We searched far and wide for the right photograph to capture halftime of game six of the NBA Finals, and this is what we came up with.
Do you believe in miracles?
Down 23, the Lakers will need a few force a game seven. As usual, the Lakers started strong, but quickly collapsed under the weight of the Celtics’ desire and Kevin Garnett’s clutchness. We recommend switching over to The Office. Michael is playing two women and Jim just told Pam he loves her. Great stuff.

Jim + Pam have ruined The Office.
I’m sorry but it’s true.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Damn, I was really hoping to kill 700 comments with a comeback.

TBL doesn’t trust Billy Wagner
June 17th, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Kobe needs to show up in the 2nd half, he actually looks scared. Garnett has been awesome, and what effort from Perkins.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:31 PM
oops
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
The greatest sporting event ever shouldn’t be compared with an NBA game.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Mike you damn fool, shut it
And Jim is dating Rashida Jones in real life? No way
for the record, the lakers have ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
TBL must have got a text message from Uzbekistandinova saying “Billy Wagner” was starting to smoke.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
i love the office jingle. i wish they would play more of that song.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Interesting fact – Doc Rivers has won a Coach of the Year award more recently than Phil Jackson. They each have 1.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
no way Mike, Pam and Jim were inevitable but it didn’t kill the show, I think it has worked
June 17th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
is this where we are talking about the Manuel/Reyes fiasco?
June 17th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Kobe doesn’t look scared. I love how people assign emotions based on results. I also loved that Bill Simmons ripped on the Lakers for not helping their teammates up, which was a complete misnomer. They helped Fisher up when he dove for the ball out of bounds. I guess people just see what they want to see.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
BottomlessChips, that was not a Mama Rosa’s. This is the doughy goodness that is. Cover it in Sriracha and life is gooood.

I’ll talk about it JWM – WTF happened? Caught him leaving the field
June 17th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
when the hell did Kobe turn into T-Mac?
bailing out the defense by shooting a whole hell of a lot of 3s and jump shots…
June 17th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
cursed,
the same bill simmons who said nobody was beating the lakers this season?

/what really happens
June 17th, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Grunge, what else is Kobe seriously supposed to do? There are three guys waiting in the paint.. he’s hitting his guys. They’re not making shots.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Why doesn’t Jalen Rose get more air time – dude knows his stuff.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:35 PM
i’m gonna watch Top 10 TEs on NFL Network at 11. btw, Jon Barry sucks.

June 17th, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Andy’s debut was a strong one. What a dork.
Did i mention Rashida Jones is the hotness? I can’t believe she doesn’t have her own show. Gorgeous
Michael: “Can you tell who’s gay and whose not?”
DWIGHT: Of course.
M: What about oscar?
D: Absolutely not.
M: Welllll, he is.
D: Well, he’s not dressed in women’s clothes, so …
M: There could be others, I need to know.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:37 PM
The only thing more surprising than a Lakers’ comeback would be if Mike Tyson showed up in the Celtics’ championship photo.

santana looks like he misses fried cheese curds…
June 17th, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Kevin Boss > Jason Witten
June 17th, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Kobe has definitely run out of gas, guys. With the breakneck pace of the NBA playoffs, I’m surprised he’s even alive at this point.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:38 PM
I like Jalen and to think He almost Lost-his-life leaving a party in L.A. when Some fool shot at his car

Rashida Jones had a show. It was kinda/sorta/a little funny.

take a diffent angle…
actually use a pick…
why does he have to settle for 26 ft shots…?
but yeah, his teammates aren’t helping.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
I never watch the Office episode in any order, i just catch them when they are on. I had never seen the casino episode and that puts this episode in a lot more context. i never knew this was andy’s first episode.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
hawk – just three. if the game were good, more.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:42 PM
ChiTown- Greg Anthony graduated wayy before 2008

I think not
June 17th, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Look at Kobe yelling at his teammates and shaking his head! Just embarrassing!
Wait, none of that is actually happening? I’m sure someone will say it did tomorrow..

@fetch: 2008? That Buckeye team only won the NIT. If that’s your favorite, I can’t fault you. I’ll just chalk it up to youth, but there’s been better Bucks squads.

So is anyone thinking Bynum would have made a difference in this series? I actually don’t. He would have brought them shot blocking in the middle..but it doesn’t solve the problem of perimeter defense or breaking the Celts down off the dribble. But who knows?

When I was a kid, I went to my first wrestling show at the Richmond Coliseum. The only match I remember was Paul Orndorff and Jimmy Snuka vs. Paul Jones and Baron Von Raschke.
Christ I’m old.

Yep. You are right. AWA = The Von Erichs (sp?). We got that on replay on some weird station at odd times. I believe all the Von Erichs are dead.

June 17th, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Most true wrestling fans will tell you that the NWA was the best actual wrestling product, which is funny b/c it’s all fake, so who cares which actually “looks” more technical? The end of the Hogan era and the middle of the Bret Hart era was the real golden era in wrestling, IMO.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:27 PM
@clown
dont forget Kai En Tai trying to chop off Val Venis’s penis
June 17th, 2008 at 11:27 PM
But you saw the same guys fighting each week, or at least each month. You had a 3-4 month build to see guys go at it.
Lets not forget the number 1 reason the WWF as it was still called back then was better during those years: Miss Elizabeth, no one was ever better.

June 17th, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Sparty, sadly you are correct. The show: “It’s Your Move”
Jason Bateman and his buddy “Eli” booked a huge band for their school and when they failed, they did a show using marionette skeletons playing instruments and I wanna say they played something like Shades of Grey.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:29 PM
Thats why Ric Flair going to the WWF was such a big deal.

The WWF had a more polished product. No doubt. The NWA had more completely absurd storylines. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It was all about entertainment. Remember the Saturday night TNT one hour shows. It was in some studio with about 24 audience members. Four Hoursemen. Arn Anderson. Tully Blanchard. Ric Flair. Dusty Roads. The Garvins. That’s where Hawk and Animal came out of. I’d rather be watching that than this piss poor excuse for a basketball game right now.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:31 PM
I haven’t watched any of the game. Has KG been pounding his heart a lot? Is he dominating in a blowout? Can we call him overrated yet? Is the answer to all three (now four) questions yes?
June 17th, 2008 at 11:31 PM
After his little vacation, Hef only likes the luchadors.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Elizabeth was hotter than all the chicks even when she was much older than all of them. She was hot as hell when she was in the NWO.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:32 PM
I would be embarrassed if I were a Laker fan right now. They need to at least put up a fight… This is awful.

That’s in September, dick. And I’ll have a lot of people to apologize too before I get right with the big 3 letter upstairs. I might have to set up a 1-800-OOPS-JEW like Stephen Colbert only you call me for an apology. That could work brilliantly.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Sparty, I still do. It’s not like LeBron looked any better against the Celts.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:36 PM

June 17th, 2008 at 11:36 PM
And we could play that game all day long. Remember when Duncan was the best player in the league? Oh yeah, he lost in 5 games to Kobe.

Most certainly. And she is dead now. Jimmy Garvin and her loved the smack and heroin. I had many a midnight dream about Miss Elizabeth.

With your strong arms you pin me down
And I try to fight you
You come inside me
You fill me up
And I lay calmly

June 17th, 2008 at 11:38 PM
The best player in the league doesn’t disappear from Finals games. He might shoot poorly, but he doesn’t pull a “Milk Carton Picture” game. 24 was absent after the first 14 minutes of this game. Inexcusable. Almost as bad as mailing in the PHX game 7 game a few years back.

Dude, Rosh Hashanah is a week before Yom Kippur. You spend the whole week apologizing and then on Yom Kippur you get right with that guy who lives on the clouds. And you blow a shofar. Which is cool.

Wally, that’s such a ridiculous blanket statement. Do you remember LeBron last year against the Spurs? Do you? Everyone is entitled to have bad games and bad series… even the best player in the game.

What’s funny is, Kobe would have been better off having his team lose with him playing well in a prior round. Now for some reason, his “legacy” will be tarnished b/c of this series. Which is laughable.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:43 PM
I dont know whether to be happier that the lakers (lower case intentional) are being embarrassed, or that basketball is finally over and we can start the countdown to training camp…….

And like I said, looks like I was absolutely right about the Lakers supporting cast. Way too soft, way overrated, and can’t defend. Sure they can all score in regular season games when nothing is on the line.. they were lucky Kobe carried them to this point.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Kobe goes to high five Odom after he misses a free throw while they’re down 33. Damn, he’s a terrible teammate.
/using small sample sizes to critique how good of a teammate Kobe is.
//exact opposite of what others do to critique how bad of a teammate he is.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM
anyone who thinks kobe is the best in the game after tonight needs to reconsider…like wally said the best in the game dont completely disappear and get beat by 40 points to bow out of the finals…and not to beat the dead horse but can you even imagine jordan getting beat by 40 in the finals in a deciding game?
June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM
cursed – it’ll be alright. The Lakers will still probably win at least 2 of the next 4 titles. They have a good base.
This year was a total anomaly for the Celts. None of the big 3 got hurt like they usually do.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM

June 17th, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Did you see that defeatist look on Kobe with his team down 30? What a bad teammate? Jordan would never act that way down 30!

per JeffJax and Wally:
losing in 6 > getting swept
June 17th, 2008 at 11:47 PM

Jordan would never
act that waybe down 30 in a Finals game!June 17th, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Jeff, when did Jordan’s teammates play that badly? When? It’s a bogus argument. They freaking played unbelievably. Can you imagine Pippen turning the ball over like Gasol and Odom.
Did Jordan’s Bulls ever play a team like that? With PP playing the way he did and Ray ALlen not missing and KG dominating inside and out?

June 18th, 2008 at 12:06 AM
cursed –
My point is that when LBJ sucked last year against the Spurs or this year against the C’s in the 1st round, everyone knew he sucked because he was at the forefront of the game from tipoff to buzzer. Ditto for any other great player.
Tonight (and in that Gm 7 against the Suns), Kobe disappeared. He was a non-entity. He had virtually nothing to do with the outcome of that game. That should NEVER happen with the best player in the league, EVER. A bad game can happen. Letting the game go without getting in it is unacceptable.
