Lakers?

[Goalie]

As in the year 2007?  I'm thinking Lakers as well, but just to give Kiwi a bit of competition, I'll say San Antonio Spurs.

[BFM_Edison]

Both incorrect.

Spurs are baddddddddddddd. Terrible team not worth anyone's time.

Who won the NBA Finals three years ago?

Okay then, I'll say it was the Boston Celtics.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Cleveland Cavs?  Although I don't think LeBron ever won a title...

[Goalie]

Spurs won the NBA finals sometime around 2007, probably in '05.  Don't know where you're getting the idea that they're bad, especially considering you're talking about the past right now.  I only remember this because I was down in San Antonio during Game 6 in 2005.

Edit:  Are you talking about the 2007 finals or a different year?  Because if you are talking about 2007, then according to wikipedia I would be right, it was the Spurs.

[BFM_Edison]

Mxy got it. Last year the Lakers won. The previous year the Lakers won as well. Year before it was the Celtics. Reason Phil Jackson is staying for only one more year is partly because he's always won his championships in threepeats, meaning the Lakers have only won the past two years. Even if you want to claim my wording was ambiguous, I'm fairly confident the clear the meaning can be considered as referencing the team who won the third most recent championship. So the championship for the 2007-2008 year.

Also, Spurs always have been and always will be bad. Terrrrriblllle.

I'm not gonna argue the answer or the question, I'll just state what I thought.  So feel free to ignore this post.

When you say 'Who won the championship this year" obviously means the latest championship.  "Last year" to me sounds like you would be asking for the one that happen approximately a year ago, not 3 months ago.  Going on that logic, three years would be approx. 3 years ago, not three seasons or 3 championships.

Besides, how can a team that has won 4 championships in the past 11 years bad?  That's not including the numerous playoff appearances they've made.

Oh well, on to the next question.

[BFM_Edison]

I'd say who won the championship this past year. And yes, Spurs are awful.

[Marty]

I'd say who won the championship this past year. And yes, Spurs are awful.

Stop insulting the Spurs when the whole game of basketball is awful.

[BFM_Kiwi]

The playoffs just ended in June.  That's 2010.  Three years ago would be 2007.  I agree with Goalie.

Anyhow, you go Mxy.

Spurs is a football club from London... what ya all talking about?

[Marty]

Spurs is a football club from London... what ya all talking about?

I agree. Spurs = Tottenham Hotspur, a football (NOT soccer) club from North London.

Meh, give it up.  We stole the word just like we stole the entire language....   ('Always loved that John Clease ad that played in the US: "C'mon.  You owe it to us to eat more Callard & Bowser sweets.... After all, you did steal our language!"   )

I figured Edison was playing strict with the wording once he denied the first answer....  


Anyway, here's the next one:

How many commercial nuclear power reactors are operating worldwide today?  (+/- 10)

[Goalie]

Well, I know there's around 7 nuclear power reactors in the state of Illinois (Which I think gives us the most out of all the states).  Past that I can't make a good guess.  But I would have to say 215.
