And thats just funny that you guys attempt to get offended when a team celebrates. Someone decided that the Lakers were going to walk into the finals, and it became popular opinion, and now we blow them out with Cassell on the bench and Trenton Hassell barely playing, yeah I have quite a bit to be happy about. I would rather have a Kevin Garnett with heart than a Karl Malone with professionalism. And don't try to pretend like the Lakers are the definition of professional, anybody remember the whole Sacramento "Queens?" I think that is the definition of lighting a fire under another team, Sacramento just happened to be chokes. Don't try to act smug and above me by acting like you don't care that your team just lost, this isn't going to be a walk in the park, partner. Yeah, I talk shit just like Gary Payton, Senior Professional.
The hit between World and Fisher was barely even a hit, and they are both equally guilty.
Malone was ejected because he got two technicals. When you get two technicals you are automatically ejected. Both of his technicals were justified.

Hey go back and check my posts, as you can see I never said it would be a walk in the park. YOU said the lakers would win chief, I said it would be a closer series than what everyone (INCLUDING you and the other TWolves "fans") thought. I stress "fans" because noone from Minnesota has any faith in their team. That first game, like the announcers touched on, was pathetic. The fans never got into the game even though it was a close game. It's the western conference finals for crying out loud.
My point was that the Wolves' franchise has never been past the first round. Malone was in the conference finals in 96-98 , 94, and 92 I think? Payton in 93 and...96? My memory is being a bitch right now but I think that's right.
But Yeah, they are in the same situation
LOL Fisher was guilty for being screened illegally and taking an elbow?
I don't care that you celebrated. If you want to piss Shaq off, go ahead, fine by me.
How am I trying to act above you? Elaborate.
Ok, Malone got ejected because he got two technicals. Fair enough. Both technicals were justified, fair enough.
Answer me this, was what Malone did to Martin not exactly what KG did to Peeler, possibly even less contact/less flagrant?
