The Wolves had everything, and I mean ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING go their way, and they didn't do it. Its as simple as that. We let up in the third quarter, and then Rush, he filled in for D-Fish and is probably the reason the Lakers won. The Lakers are clearly the better team, but the Wolves were handed the opportunity but just couldn't hit shots.
If there was ever a game where a healthy Sam would have been fun, this was it. The score would have been right there all game. Meh, what can you do?
Let me just say though, Kobe, Shaq, Fisher, Rush, etc, I respect them and the way they have played and handled themselves in this series. Malone and Payton I have absolutely no respect for, I never realized how much of a hack/actor Malone is, and I hope he doesn't win a championship. I don't have any sympathy in Malone for never winning a championship, because if he had signed with Utah for what he did with LA, they could have picked up another top free agent and been damn good this year.
Regardless, I think the Lakers will win it. The Pistons have the huge advantage in the East by having two/three good big men, but Shaq > B. Wallace and Malone > R. Wallace. The Pistons don't have enough offense, unless Rip could just absolutely tear it up. The Pacers, I just don't have faith in Jermaine, especially matching up against Malone and Shaq.
