Just don't know if the Celtics can pull this off and maybe it's going a little far but I think in a round about way the Celtics were a bit exposed last night. They have a big 3 but so do the Pistons and more. There is no real huge mismatch for the Celtics. I mean Garnett and Pierce are going to get theres but they are having to work very hard against Wallace and Pierce and Allen got most of his points last night against the bench or inside.
But the Celtics do have that mismatch, Rondo is a virtual nonthreat on offense and they are guarding him with Rip. On the other end of the floor Billups and Stuckey are tearing up whoever is in the game at point guard whether it be Rondo or House. And McDyess is coming out in a big way this series he is really taking it to Kendrick Perkins. It just seems like the Pistons have the bigger mismatches and are the all around better team.
However, Rasheed has 5 techs and is undoubtedly going to get 7 imo. He has to work to hard against KG to not get frustrated and tacked with just 2 more T's. That's big because the Pistons are kind of like the Zab Judah mental midgets of the NBA. They play up or down to the skills of their opposition but always seem to mentally screw themselves over. Whether it's Flip Saunders not doubling Lebron or using his bench, Sheed getting suspended a game or making uncharacteristic turnovers, they always seem to screw themselves over. If they do the Celtics have enough big players to capitalize.
Pistons in 7.
The Lakers rapped the Spurs tonight... :-X
The Spurs in the NBA are almost like USC in college football 3 years ago. They're so good, they can just turn it on whenever they feel like it. New Orleans beat them in the first 2 games last round WAY worse than what the Lakers did, and we saw them just flip the switch and fold the Hornets like they were nothing. If LA doesn't win at least 1 of the next 2 in San Antonio I guarantee they're gonna lose.
You can't compare the Lake show to the Hornets...Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying LA has no chance(Kobe's the best player on the planet), but N.O. is alot like the Lakers in that they're young, and have alot of talent on the parimeter. Spurs just have a switch they can turn on, after all, they're not only the most experienced and professional team in the NBA, they may also have the best coach.
Oh! come ooooon, Pop better then Phil?Quote:

Are you sure you won't walk around saying Kobe did it and Phil had nothing to do with it? :DQuote:

p.s. Duncan ain't no Kobe:)
Red is definitely the best basketball coach of all time. He didn't create a great system did like Phil did with the triangle but he was just such a good coach, his coaching tapes are amazing if you ever get to watch them. He teaches you so much about basketball had an answer for everything.
Why does every Lakers clip on TV show Ronn Tariaf on the bench?
Ronnie Turiaf is Kobe's BFF so he gets that tag along camera time. He's not on the court because, well he sucks. Actually he is pretty good off the bench this year. Still, I bet the Lakers would trade Turiaf for Bynum. That would just make them scary.
And I'm not going to say the Spurs are done. Said it last series and that was foolish, no series is over until the home team loses and goes down in the series. Not making that mistake again.
OK so I was just a little off in making my prediction for tonight but whatever, I don't think the Pistons backcourt will have another down game. I'm really amazed by Rodney Stuckey. And I thought the Warriors had the best bench guard in the league last year with Monta Ellis. Stuckey is really becoming that guy for the Pistons, off the bench he has already won 2 playoff games for them over the Magic without Billups and then today he almost provided the spark to get them over the hump again. Just a solid player, but the Pistons were just behind to much through 3 to ever come back. Can say that was convenient though as I could stop watching more or less when UFC 84 started so no complaints here.
Big win.
A step in the direction of averting the horror series, Pistons-Spurs.
I expect the Spurs to win tonight and actually dominate the Lake Show.
If by any chance the Lakers should win a game at SA, I think they're ain't no stopping them.
Damn!!! :o
Maxille just bocked the shit out off Garnett.... :o

A Theo Ratliff sighting this is the first time I've seen him in this playoffs.
Every single time I see the Pistons win I think they are the best team on this planet and there is no way any team beats them. I mean they just look so good.
Then they lose and they look like the most mediocre team in the playoffs and there is no way they are as good as they obviously think they are. It's so odd, it's something I never can get with the Pistons. They don't have a flaw that opponents exploit really. When they get beat it's not because they get exposed anywhere they just get outplayed all around. Then they win and look like the best all around team there is. Enigmatic.
And Rajon Rondo is really pissing me off his play is going to hold that team back as long as they have him. That team NEEDS a good point guard they would be nearly unstoppable if they had a point guard who knew how to run the offense.

Yeah Rondo still has alot to learn. I thought they were gonna squander that lead the other night cuz the could NOT slow the game down. No one was sitting on their shots and if Ray Allen doesn't wake the fuck up I'm gonna slapp him in the mouth!:boxing2:
I didn't really watch it.
I thought Perkins was great in game 3. Did he have that bad of a game in game 4?
Rondo is actually better than I thought he was going to be coming out of Kentucky. Not saying he's great but he's surprised me a bit, I thought he was a lock for being a total bust. Didn't have a good attitude, kind of a dumb player, and one of the worst shooters I've ever seen. When they drafted him that high I was shocked. He still isn't a good shooter and doesn't make great decisions but he's a lot better than I thought he'd be.
the C's have been hard to watch..
and i can't stand Doc River's decisions on who is on the court..
i've never EVER seen a team so streaky and unpredictable in the post-season..
The ONLY reason last nights game (game 4) was close was because the Celt's hit most of their foul shots.. that was the only way they were getting points..
The way i see it is pretty simple.. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce NEED to take charge and score.. i don't want to fucking hear, "pierce is having a rough night shooting" SO WHAT, you're a professional athlete, keep taking shots and do your fucking job.. on top of that you've been playing every other night.. how can you have a "rough night" shooting.. If Pierce and Allen don't shoot/attack the basket then you have what happened last night.. you have James Posey WIDE OPEN FOR THREE up-faking, and then trying to drive, and then getting blocked.. you have Rondo driving in and forcing shots.. you have Perkins taking bad shots.. you have Cassell taking bad shots.. and then you also have all of these up-fakes, and passes, ending up in turnovers cause everyone is afraid to shoot!!
why? because the fucking all-stars on their team are not doing their job.. It's pretty simple.. if your name is Paul Pierce, and you're 0-16 from the field, you take it to the rack and lay it in.. this is the ONLY way you can create any sort of offense.. You can't rely on Posey/Cassell/Rondo etc.. to score your points..They will get the good looks when Pierce gets doubled.. they can't make their own shots..
I thought Perkins didn't do that bad I like Perkins. But you just can't guard McDyess 20 feet from the basket, I don't know what center could. So I'll give him a break. I feel bad Rondo wouldn't be bad energy guy to come off the bench but he's just not fit to be a starter much less a starter on that team.
What the hell LA :mad:
Oh My God the Lakers just almost gave that away, Barry got screwed there on that no call but who cares, good call. Damn it they better close this show they tried to give that game away.
ahahahahahahahahahaha
Dreams do come true boys and girls.
I loved it when they interviewed Kobe about the no call, "No foul." "No foul." You could just see the little smirk on his face...classic.
This is a great first half this is finally Piston - Celtics basketball, great first half so far. I have a feeling it's going to get a lot uglier out there and the refs are struggling. Some terrible calls, these teams hate each other they are doing some serious barking.
:appl::appl::appl::appl::appl::crowd::crowd::crowd ::crowd::crowd::highfive::highfive::highfive::high five::highfive: :allhail:
:cowboy:
Yeah, whatever... I still hate Perkins... Pierce is doing well defensivly...
can I just say that OUR FOURTH QUARTER PLAY SUCKS! AND THE BENCH NOT SCORING TIL LIKE THE 4TH?
IT'S ON!!!!! come on Celtics finish this off and get it over with
