PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

If anyone hasn't applied for their two $40 analog to digital conversion boxes that were guaranteed to use under the socialist Bush administration then you are making a big mistake. Next time your cable of satellite runs out you will be wishing you took part in this government handout. They cost about $40 so you are essentially getting it for free, you can even get it on Amazon,

END SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

You'll get my check but can you really feel much satisfaction picking the heavy favorite that probably should have lost every series?

yes, a team can "luck" into three consecutive 7 game series victories. LOL

You are whining now. Its no great handicapping feat picking the lakers. But it has proven to be extemely foolish to pick against them. No?

On that we can agree at least. Every series has been far closer than the supposed experts thought. You've lucked out cause Denver and Orlando choked in all the big moments even worse that Kobe has.

Teams don't "choke" in a seven game series. they win or they lose. Anything beyond that is a lame excuse. Big plays are part of every game whether they happen in the first quarter or the fourth. Over a seven game series they even out and the better team wins.

Teams "choke" when they are in a series that they are outmatched physically and are outmatched by the officials? Any series against the Lakers now implies the officials are against you which is very sad. Kobe choked multiple times this postseason and almost cost them games. But then the team they choked against choked even more afterwards.

sigh. The lakers were called for 28 fouls and shot 20 free throws. Orlando was called for 21 fouls and shot 37 free throws.

If the officials were against orlando, it must have been one of those weird conspiracies where they agreed to put them at the line almost twice as much as the other team.
