I'm a Laker fan myself, but I've moved on knowing that a chance for the title wasn't happening this season for the Lakers. I'm on the GSW wagon because of my boy Baron Davis who is an LA native. He was born and raised in Compton the Kali way and is doing his thing with the GSW's.

GSW vs. Cavs are my pick for the finals.:beer:

I agree. I just hate Phoenix. I did even before last year's playoffs. I never thought I'd cheer wildly for San Antonio. :)

I don't hate PHX. I hate Raja Bell! He's a poor sport.

PHX has a very well rounded squad and are lead by MVP Steve Nash who I think is one of the top 3 point guards ever. Although Duncan and the Spurs are always a force to be recond with. It's a toss up for me with this match up. It could go either way, specially with a healthy A. Staudemire in the center for PHX.

...and I agree 100% with Brandon!
 
Nash rules over all. Karma will catch up to Stephen Jackson and ruin the warriors. I'm glad we (the pathetic pacers) traded him, but I hate seeing him succeed now.

What's wrong with the world? NBA keys to success: attack fans in a brawl, shoot your gun at a strip club while on probation, get NO jailtime, get traded, make playoffs, have one of your best games and beat the best team in the league
 
btw how awkward will that be when they present dirk nowitski the mvp trophy at the halftime of some other playoff game: "congrats you were the league mvp and choked so bad in the playoffs that you became the first #1 seed to lose to a #8 seed since they changed the series to best of 7, and way to cap the season off, 8 points in your final game."
 
Hows those two white boys working out for ya, Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy Jr.? Oh, Ike Diogu wasnt a bust was he?

Have fun with that. Reggie Miller is gone, sorry :/

The Spurs and Suns game was fantastic! This series is gonna be a great one!

oh...Steve Nash will be MVP for sure after that collision with Tony Parker! That was a bad cut on his nose!
 
This is the FINAL... Spurs vs. Phoenix is where it is at!

I wanna see Manu wake up and become a super-star again... he will with the competition.
 
Tony Parker is such a joke, what is up with the Flops in the league. You gunna tell me a 7 foot tall man (dirk) is going to get sent flying 10 ft when BD (Davis) shot that 3 pointer. Like he went flying Matrix style, give me a break.

And Tony Parker head butts Nash right in the nose, nash doesnt flinch and has 1 1/2 gash on his face, meanwhile Parker cant even get off the ground. So weak. Spurs dont win if Nash doesnt get taken out. Makes 2 clutch shots after that , but cant stay in game cuz of blood.
 
"Controversies

[edit]KJZZ-TV
From 1995 to 2001, KJZZ-TV was a charter UPN affiliate. In October 2000, Miller demanded the right to breach his contract with the network if it increased its "urban/ethnic programming" to more than two hours per week. The incident drew nationwide attention, and UPN promptly signed a deal with another station in the Salt Lake City market to carry UPN programming.
[edit]Casa Bonita lawsuit
In July 2000, Miller was sued by Casa Bonita, a Lakewood, Colorado restaurant for violation of intellectual property rights and unfair competition. The suit alleged that Miller's restaurant, The Mayan, was a copy of the Colorado eatery. According to the suit, Miller had visited Casa Bonita several times beginning in 1996, and asked to see the books. According to a lawyer representing Casa Bonita, "Tourists will be confused and the distinctiveness of our identification will be blurred."[1]
[edit]Brokeback Mountain
On January 6, 2006, the film Brokeback Mountain was pulled from Miller's Megaplex 17 theater at the last minute after Miller learned from a radio reporter that the film featured a gay romance. Other R-rated films, such as the comedy Grandma's Boy and the violent horror film Hostel were still allowed to be shown. As a result, the business was accused of exhibiting bias against homosexuality, and Focus Features announced that because of the breach of contract, they would no longer do business with any Miller-owned properties, although no lawsuit was ever filed.[citation needed]
The cancellation brought international attention to the theater. The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Utah and other gay rights groups urged its members to avoid patronizing Miller's various businesses. Jay Leno joked about the incident on The Tonight Show. Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger told Australian press that he didn't think the film was controversial, but added "I think maybe the Mormons in Utah do. I think it's hilarious and very immature of a society." [2]
Miller later explained the cancellation, saying that he was concerned about "getting away from the traditional families", what he called "a very dangerous thing." Miller noted that several individuals purchased automobiles from his dealerships as a form of support for the decision. He also expressed regret for any feelings that were hurt as a result. [3]
In 2007, after former-Jazz player John Amaechi announced he was coming out, Miller said that he had made a bad decision in pulling Brokeback Mountain. He described his decision as a "knee-jerk reaction" and said that he would probably allow the film to be shown if faced with the same decision again; however he said he was not sure how he would react to an openly gay player on his basketball team.[1]
