Hawk,

I am not hearing much about Karl's injury as the reason the Lakers lost. I am hearing more that Karl's injury might have affected the complete domination, but no one has said (to my knowledge) Karl's injury is the reason they lost. I think the Pistons just out played, out hustled, out coached and just wanted it more. Only a few of the Lakers had won a Championship, just like the Pistons players. But the Pistons are younger and played with more energy and heart.

I am just proud to be a Pistons fan. They just kicked their butt, plain and simple. I thought they had a chance, but I just did not think they would rip them apart like this.

Peace
