I can still recall when a certain Queenz fan had that certain statement in his signature: THE WCF WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.
I completely laugh at that now since BOTH OF US are now eliminated from the playoffs. What a great season turned into a bad playoff run for both teams. We were all plagued by injuries and bad games, but all in all we did have a great run. Although I am a true Laker fan, I do tip my hat off the the Queenz for giving it their best shot w/ out their star player, Chris Webber.
And us Lakers were hurt throughout, with Foxy out w/ a torn tendon in his ankle, Kobe's shoulder and tendinitis to his knees, George's badly sprained ankle, Shaq's sore knee, and Fisher's sprained ankle and dislocated finger.
We both pretty much had bad luck in these playoffs of 2003. But rest assure that we the Lakers and the Queenz will be back for next season in top form, and who knows what the outcome will bring.
