David Stern's Tantrum - A Loser Thread. [WCF Game 6]

PrintSo the other night, Dever let us down. We were expecting it to be competitive, but something funny happened along the way. For 3 quarters, it looked like it was going to go down to the wire. Tied after the 1st quarter, tied at halftime, tied after the 3rd quarter. What followed was not pretty. The Moonmen made us go "awwwwww" but weren't exactly able to get the job done.

So now, the Lakers are up 3-2 going back to Denver. David Stern sees half of his wet dream slipping away in the Eastern Finals, so what's an evil yet impotent dictator to do? Teach those mean bully Nuggets that they aren't supposed to go to the Finals. Because somebody has a god complex.
First, he will mercilessly assign bogus referees and penalties to those who oppose him.
Lebron and Kobe are both undefeated in the posteason. As such, all remaining games are to be played in Los Angeles and Cleveland for the sake of expediency. May God have mercy on those other teams' souls.
You see, Stern is addicted to his "power". As long as he thinks he has it, he's going to manipulate as much as he can. He'll lie and say he can see Yao Ming's shame from accross a narrow maritime border by his house. And he'll drag down Stu Jackson, James Naismith's good name, and anyone else he has to in order to get his way. That is, unless the people who love him :: crickets :: do something about it.
It's OK, David - we just want you to get the help you need. Hey, what's that sticky stuff on your Lebron jersey? [Thanks to Hipuks for the pic]
Did you miss me? Just wait 'til next year.
What did you expect? An American player? It's the Spurs, you Moran.
So, do you think you're loser enough to hang. If you don't, you're not even kidding yourself. Give your hand a break, and keep yourself busy talking about really meaningful stuff. You know, basketball games. And don't you dare feel bad about being a loser. No one's judging you... OK, maybe someone's judging you:
This is one of the few times that the FSM agrees with "that other guy".

Sorry but...
…seeing as the Spurs benefited from the most epic Stern fuck up ever, its pretty hard to take your article very seriously. I mean, the commish should have gotten a ring along with TimTim and the guys that year. Getting back to the Laker-Nuggets series; yeah I thought both fouls on Nene were terrible. But, this wasn’t of case of the Refs deciding a game.
Nene is an idiot for two reasons. 1) Yelling at the officials and getting a technical. They gave him a lot of leeway after the questionable offensive foul (maybe they knew they blew it). He had plenty of time to make his case and get on with it. He chose to keep berating the official. Even after the tech, he wanted to keep going. How can you expect to get the calls later after you (a role player) show them up. 2) Only an idiot would flop with 5 fouls on them. Yes, I saw Pau’s forearm extend out. But Nene flopped. There was hardly any real contact. Nene has played like a tank all series. This game was being called very loosely at the time, especially with the bigs. By flopping he made the officials commit to a call. Not smart for a guy with 5 fouls. Even less smart by a guy that was already on their bad side.
Hi Jose, welcome to PtR. Just a friendly advice, loser threads aren’t meant to be taken seriously :)

OF COURSE, STERN HATES THE SUNS. HE ALSO HATES HIGH RATING TEAMS LIKE THE LAKERS AND CAVS…. shheshhhh

Great preview, rikiddo! And thanks for using my pet name for Karl in the poll (although I’m not opposed to the use of “Pudgy” either). See the rest of you losers tonight, assuming I’m not at work. Me no likey deadlines.
Here’s my question…if Denver wins tonight, especially if it’s a blowout, do they have a chance in game 7? I know they’ve got a shot, but I’m talking mentally. If they blowout LA do they get over-confident? I somehow think Denver will find a way to win this game and shoot themselves in the foot in game 7.
It can also apply to George Karl:

One of the many perks of living in CO is the multitude of good microbreweries. I don’t know what you can get in Vegas, but anything by Breckenridge, O’Dell or Flying Dog are good. I also highly recommend 1554 by new Belgium for those that like darker beers like porter.

I tuned in and I’m half paying attention to the game. I want Magic to win so they’re well rested against the Lakers. The Lakers must be defeated at all costs. If they win, Kobe will have 4 rings, same as Timmeh, he would’ve won one ring without Shaq, Sasha Tweezers would get a ring, and Phil Jackson would have more rings than Red Auerbach.
Fuck that.

In Argentina they get movies usually waaaaaaaaaaaay later than here. Only some movies have same day worldwide release.
My tapeworm tells me what to do.
Well, that’s not quite true. It depends on the movie, really. But big summer movies like Wolverine get worldwide releases, as you said, so it was out here at the same time as in the States.
I just hadn’t gotten around to it. I watched Star Trek first, and I’m not going to the cinema as often these days, ever since I broke up with my gf. Today a friend wanted to watch it, so I had an excuse.

Wolverine sucked big time. Worst Xmen movie by far. The 3D effect of Wolverine’s claws was just insulting, very 98ish. The script was crap too. Add some odd choices for actores and you have a shitfest.
Is Star Trek any good for someone who hasnt seen ANYTHING about the seriies?

You know what the Cavs need? They need to get a real 2 guard, who can defend, play off lebron but also make some plays when the king isnt on, make 3 pointers, and more importantly to have a KILLER INSTINCT. Lebron is trying to develop one, but you need more than one guy to make bigh shots. You know who fits that bill? Manu Ginobili. If Im Cleveland Id throw the house out of the window to get Manu and have a chance to win a championship in 09, before Lebron leaves the town. I would call san antonio and offer Wally, Pavlovic, Bobbie, Hickson and the first round picks from the next 20 years.
"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."
They have nothing, though.
Wally = Bench player.
Pavlobrick = Can’t shoot.
Boobie = Can’t play.
Hickson = Can’t NBA.

Don’t we have lots of expiring contracts already? As far I know only Georgie, Timmy and Tony are signed beyond next season.
