Teusday's Top 5

Oswalt's ejection from yesterday's game was a joke. Another example of an umpire who has incredibly thin skin. Oswalt never argued with the umpire. Period. It's ok to disagree and it's ok to get upset, but only if Bill Hohn isn't the home-plate umpire. He went out of his way to create a confrontation and then tossed Roy because he thought he was being "shown up." What a joke. I am totally on Oswalt's side, there is no reason he should not be allowed to show his displeasure, he never got out of line - the ump did. What do you think - check out the video.

2. 1984 Game 2 - Lakers on the verge of taking 2-0 lead on Boston (in Boston), but Gerald Henderson makes a steal & layup to tie the game with a few seconds remaining. Celts come back to win the game and the series.

1. 1996 Game 7 - Hakeem Olajuwon blocks John Starks to preserve the win and title for the Rockets. (Yeah, it's homerish - but so what baby!!)

What did we miss, what would be your Top 5 NBA Finals moments?
--------------------------

We were trying to decide who Rockets should be rooting for in the NBA Finals. In my opinion - there's not a good choice since the Celtics beat the Rockets in the Finals twice and the Lakers have been in their way many times and both have provided some great moments. I don't know if we came up with a verdict, but it did allow us to relive this from 1986
