Parallel Universe NBA Finals Game 1: Open Thread

Superman and Other Turk look to cook The Beef and Paul Gaso (I borrowed the "L" from his last name) in some strange facsimile of the real NBA Finals. Discussion welcome.

Oh, and if anyone knows where I can find a broadcast of the real game, send me a discreet e-mail...

They’re still talking about Kobe being the best “closer” in the game. What a load.

Wow, Lakers fans couldn’t possibly be quieter. I like this intro though.

I hate the Magic

I hate Turkoglu

Well, I dunno. I don’t hate the Magic. I actually kinda like Turk. But I don’t want them to win.

They WONT.

Trust me.

This is the same intro video from last year!

Haha, goaltend

Kobe missed! Oh, well that means Lebron is better

Yeah, but can LeBron close like Kobe?!

Wow, Van Gundy is a douche. He’s really playing up that “no respect” card.

Just like Dwight. And it’s BULLSH*T. The media is “hit and run” the change “partners” more than squar dancers.

But, Orlando loves to believe they are so victimized by the big bad MEDIA! “Grrrr…” <—- (That’s the media.)

HAI GUIZ!

I found a local radio station covering the real game, score is Cavs: 25 – Purples: 3, 8:13 1st quarter, I’ll be sure to keep you posted!

Oh snap! Keep us in the know!

6:21 left in 2nd Quarter, Cavs: 56 – Purples: 11

As it should be

6 ties, 8 lead changes. That says it all for the first,

make that 7 lead changes

I just really don’t want the Lakers to win. There’s nothing worse than a front-running Laker fan claiming how “they’ve” won a championship.

Watch Alston shoot 30% all series. I’ll choke someone.

Or Peitrus, that 3rd tier SG…

Wow, Game 2’s not till Sunday? That’s atrocious.

I believe that is to avoid having the games on the same day as the NHL finals

Dude, check out this schedule:

Game 1: Thu 6/4
Game 2: Sun 6/7
Game 3: Tue 6/9
Game 4: Thu 6/11
Game 5: Sun 6/14
Game 6: Tue 6/16
Game 7: Thu 6/18

Awesome. The way I scheduled my Cleveland trip, I’ll be up there to see them complete the sweep on the 11th!

Magic Johnson couldn’t be more wrong. He is more biased than I am.

Wow, Kobe actually saying people should get off LeBron’s back. Props. I now have more reason to root for the Lakers.

The Magic have used more of these than are actually in the Community Chest.

Nice

Gotta rip that one off.

So luck runs out for the Darlings. Figures it happens now.

I’m so bitter. >.<

Why, aren’t we, uh, up by like 50 at this point? In, like, the real finals?

(don’t know how long I can maintain this)

I lost coverage… all I’m getting is static. But sure we’re up a least 65, I’m sure of it! :’D Obvious fake smile

So, um, why are they still running Kobe/Lebron puppet comercials?

They ran one earlier that was just LeBron and Lil’ Dez… good stuff actually, it was definitely tongue-in-cheek hatin’ on LeBron.

I don’t care what anyone says about the “media” hyping up Kobe and LeBron, the commercials are undeniably entertaining. Not mention so much of it is based on their regular seasons. Kobe: MVP ‘08 LeBron: MVP ’09 ect…
It’s all about how’s the better basketball player and whatnot. NEVER once do any of the Vitamin Water or Nike commercials ever mention the NBA Finals, or the fact they they might meet their. That is what was fabricated by all the so-called experts and analysts that felt the need to keep talking about it.

The companies running Kobe-Lebron ads have thing in mind: SELL their product. Period.

Well, the new puppet commercial actually acknowledges the Finals this year, and I think it’s pretty damn good

I missed that one, I’ll have to check it out.

Where the hell were the REAL Orlando Magic the last series?

We had to face some kind of FREAK of nature version of the Magic that was bound to crash and burn eventually. What goes up must come down. The bigger they are the harder the fall. (bigger = 3pt %)

Van Gundy screwed the chemistry by bringing in Nelson. They were tied or up several points and then Nelson came in and all hell broke loose. I mean, the guy hasnt played for 4 months. He didnt play poorly, but it just messes up the chemistry bringing someone into the finals that hasnt even played 1 second of the playoffs.

LMFAO@US

30% shooting,

Jesus, My Appreciation of what LeBron did with his supporting cast has tripled…
