Go back to the series with Portland in the 2000 West Finals. The Lakers won game seven of that series 89-84. During the first six games of that series, both teams had shot 188 free throws. In fact, after going down 3-1 in the series, Portland had outshot the Lakers 68-57 in games five and six. So how did game seven play out? The Lakers ended up shooting 37 free throws to 16 for Portland. Yes, 37-16.

Go back to game six of the 2002 West Finals against Sacramento. Sacramento was up 3-2 in the series and up to that point, had outshot the Lakers 149-112 from the line. So what happens in game six? The Lakers get 40 free throws to 25 for Sac. If that's not bad enough, the Lakers shot 27 free throws in the fourth quarter alone. They won that game 106-102.
What do both games have in common? Both were played at Staples with the Lakers on the brink of elimination. So it's always funny when I hear Laker fans complaining about the calls when it's probably the calls that gave them two of their titles in the first place. It's called taking the good with the bad. It all evens out.

Interestingly, this LA/Sac game is in the news today on ESPN. Talk about this game was basically fixed. Check out the stories. I'm sure they are or will be on ESPN at some point today.

Irish -

FT's: 20-2 so far for the Lakers. Bitching about Game 2 now ceases.

How many MFing free throws is Ray Allen going to miss?

Gasol is scared to death.

We're really about to see Kobe junk this fake ass triangle. Trust his teammates? Ha. He's about to take 15-20 shots from here on out.

He should. Gasol and Odom are a house of cards under this pressure. The only other guy who should be shooting is Vujacic.

Oh, I don't blame him one bit. He definitely has too. I told a few friends that Gasol would be crying at some point. He's so soft that he makes Garnett look hard and that's damn near impossible.

Why does Phil have them doubling Garnett without the ball in the post? That's a waste.

6:05 left in the game....what are the chances Pierce gets his head out of his ass before the game is over?

What does everyone think of Van Gundy? He is pretty hilarious.....

I'd rather watch Pgardn's daughters team play than watch this bullsh*t. These guys can't play dead in a cowboy movie

I can't believe that the Lakers were 9.5 favorites tonight...That seems awful large for a NBA Final game

Is it just me, or is Magic Johnson the only dude that is HIV positive that has swole up? He's approaching Charles Barkley territory.

LOL @ Gasol. 3-for-8 from the line and a few garbage putbacks. What a bitch.

You realize that supposedly he doesn't have it anymore......Dude, same thing happened to me when I left high school. We had to do physical education every day, graduated, and hello stomach....

Eddie House is SHOOTING when you have Pierce and Garnett on the court

I have seen it all
