PISTONS TAKE 3-1 LEAD OVER THE LAKERS
It's nice to see that the Pistons are one game away from winning the NBA title, but I still wouldn't count out the Lakers. With KOBE BRYANT, SHAQ O'NEAL and old angry guys like KARL MALONE and GARY PAYTON, if the Lakers can win Tuesday night and push the series back to Los Angeles it could get interesting.

I love reading stuff like this though...
"Snapshots for the Lakers in Game 4. Kobe Bryant screaming at the referees and picking up a late technical foul; Shaquille O'Neal yelling at someone in the Lakers' huddle, most likely Bryant, after two particularly egregious shot selections; Karl Malone staying parked on the bench for the entire fourth quarter, a nonfactor again; Gary Payton getting toasted by Hamilton again."

I know when talking about sports it's best for a person with a website like this or whatever to remain as unbiased as possible. I don't like the Lakers, I admit it. I don't like Gary Payton or Karl Malone, and I don't really like Kobe Bryant either. I hate teams that don't play hard, and these guys haven't played hard consistently all season long and it's nice to see them in a position where they just can't turn the switch on and win when they feel like it.
