You won't be smiling when the Celts MASH the Lakers;D;D;):cool:
I guess that was good enough, still I'd be fine if we ceded San Antonio to Mexico in order to prevent future bullshit.
I've seen that thing with Jackson Kobe and Pau but it was Arsenal instead of the Lakers.
Good for you...Quote:

(For the record I live in LA but I am NOT a Laker fan. I'm a Bulls fan)
:)
If it wasn't for the Warriors the Pistons would probably be my favorite team in the NBA. I always find myself doubting whatever chances they have and rooting for them at the same time. Just love the way they play, everyone is wrong who says they are on the downside (including me about a month ago lol), I don't believe it until they start coming down with injuries. Now they have Stuckey and they just look great.
It's like rooting for Zab Judah though (I'm trying to make that stick), I'm glad I have the Warriors who are a bunch of overachievers. Balances out.
I think the Pistons would beat the Lakers too. Don't know if I feel the same about the Celtics.
Offensive foul? One of the worst calls I've ever seen.
Here we go...the Zab Judah effect kicks in at the worst possible time. How lazy could they be on offense? Did you see that lazy pick McDyess set which blew that possession where Wallace missed the three? As Charles Barkley would say, turrible, just turrble, turrble play.
Tics vs. Lake Show just like when I was a young pup... :)
They've met 10 times in the finals the score is 8-2 in favor of the Tics.
The Tics vs. Lake Show played 2 reg. season games and the Tics won both.
However it should be noted that they were a different team and did not have Pau.
This should be really interesting.
so pumped!!
why the hell couldn't the PATRIOTS WON THE SUPERBOWL
we could've won the triple crown..
anyway.. i really am grateful to be a new englander at this time in sports.. it is awesome..
The Lakers have been too good these playoffs, i think they beat the celtics.
I hate it when they make us wait this long... :beat:

The way they're playing who's gonna cover him, Allen? Please... Pierce is gonna have to sacrafice offense to help out and that means that KG is GONNA HAVE TO come up BIG ever game... No exceptions...
This is where the big boys come out to play and we're really gonna see what kind of heart the celts have...
This goes 7 games with the Celts stuggling... I'm gonna say that the battle tested vets take it.... GO CELTS... Can't wait for Thursday!
Do people prefer the 2-3-2 system or the 2-2-1-1-1 system as far as rotating home and away playoff games? I think I like the 2-2-1-1-1.
I don't mind waiting actually, the rest of the summer is pretty shitty for sports except for boxing and baseball and I'm a Braves fan and where I live you never get to see the Braves so baseball just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
Aren't the Braves on TBS all the time? Or is that just occasional?
I like the 2-2-1-1-1 better too but I can understand why the NBA doesn't use it.
The Braves are almost never on TBS anymore. They're on Fox Sports but you know that's regional and I live just out of the area that does southeastern stuff like Alabama, Georgia, Florida. I get the Astros and the Rangers, its bullshit.
What did you say that was so idiotic ;D
I knew you would notice that I think I'm going to work that into every post from now on. Maybe throw insults in there and see if anyone notices.Quote:

I think it was for 2 reasons.
1. Kobe was off.
2. Missed Free throws.
For those of you who missed it here's one of the best acting scenes you'll ever see. EVER!!
(Something tells me Pierce wanted to have his own Isaih Thomas moment) :D

Loving this matchup by the way..
Tomorrows gonna be a good sports day.
I have my soccer game at 8:00, Nadal vs. Federer, Ger vs. Pol, Lakers vs. Tics, A's vs. Angels.
:cool:
lol, you'd a thought a grenade exploded on his crotch the way he was acting. Boston's graduated from the Vlade Divac school of flopping, but their D is legit though. I hope the series goes 7.Quote:

I don't know, I mean did it go through Pierce's head in the split second after he got hit by Perkins to fake an injury for sympathy or some kind of basketball advantage? LOL, definitely a quick thinker.
I do think he's kind of hanging on to it now cause he's embarrassed of his reaction but that's it.
Either way, as long as Pierce continues to be as good or better than Kobe the Lakers are in the shit. It could easily turn completely in LA though.
What is going on with the Lakers?
Celts will end the series in LA:cool:
i vote that the C's D is just stifling :D
My sneaking suspicion that the Lakers bench was entirely overrated has been all but confirmed in these first two games as well as Odom and Gasol. They are both very good players but Odom just doesn't match up well with the Celtics and Gasol isn't great night in and night out like Garnett, Pierce and Kobe.
I'm shocked that the Celtics still haven't learned their lesson and still play like absolute shit in the 4th quarter. Can't believe it.
I think LA is going to win these next two but whaat the hell are they doing defensively? I mean anytime Rajon Rondo is able to go wherever he wants on the floor and dish 16 assist then you have some serious problems. The Lakers have one of the best defensive point guards in the league in Fisher and they just decided not to pressure at all. It's almost unthinkable, I don't want to hear Phil bitch about the refs because he's dropping the ball here. Trying to be to cute for his own good. That's inexcusable. Put some pressure on the perimeter and Rajon Rondo sucks, that's pretty much a fact.
That being said I do think they will win the next two, just got to be more aggressive and Kobe has got to run some guys off the ball like he does so well instead of trying to drive to the basket that's not his strength. I was shocked to see Allen guarding Kobe as much as he did game two, that should be a matchup where Kobe calls for the ball everytime he gets it.
Also, very happy for Powe. I remember his Oakland Tech days and his great battles with a young Devon Hardin who went to Newark Memorial where I lived. I went to one of those games and then saw them play together at Cal a bunch. Two great players, I am glad Powe is getting his shot he was a lottery pick if he didn't have those knee problems. Now Hardin is in pretty much the exact same situation and will probably go just where Powe did. Hopefully he can have the same success but if not the guy is absolutely brilliant, never got a grade under a B in his entire life even at Cal he'll be well off regardless.
The Lakers were probably better off loosing by 20 something points then to comeback all the way and almost win.
Lamar Odom has been taken out of the series and Pau Gosol playing as well as he can but looks lost against this defense...
Donaghy's now saying that some playoff series were fixed. A 2002 series finale was pushed to 7 games by the officials because of the NBA. I wouldn't usually care and I can see why some would say he's just trying to get himself out of trouble but ESPN reported that the only series pushed to 7 that year was Lakers-Sacramento. I don't know how well people remember this but in game 6 of that series the officials without a doubt STOLE the game from Sacramento. They gave L.A. 27 free throws in the fourth quarter alone, it was the most disgraceful thing I've ever seen in basketball.
Oh man....Quote:

I believe Donaghys I mean really what the hell does he have to gain from this? Fame, Money, Media Time?
Politics... :beat:
Money makes the world go round. ;)
I agree Game 2 was questionable reffing no doubt, I've never seen anything like Game 6 of the Lakers-Sacramento series though. 27-10 is one thing, 27 free throws for the Lakers in one quarter is a whole different thing. I just sat there like is this really happening?
Taking the other side of it, Donaghy could have intentionally identified that game knowing how controversial that game was and therefore knowing that some would buy into it. Who knows? But I remember thinking either the refs are incompetent or corrupt, its one of the two. And can you really be that incompetent?
That was one of the worst reffed games in NBA history in Sacramento they still think refs screwed them so I can't wait to see the columnist at the Bee just explode in their pants tomorrow. It's funny how much media attention Spygate got which was entirely overblown compared to this.
Celtics offense is just about as stagnant as an offense could be right now but their D has kept them in it. Lakers need to keep them honest and stretch them out to the perimeter while they have this lead.
Lakers got really lucky tonight...
This is all Boston, IMO.
I'm thinking the same thing, in some ways I'm more convinced that Boston will win the series after that loss than after the two opening wins, if that makes any sense. They went to L.A. to play a team that was absolutely desperate for a win, Pierce and Garnett were horrible and they still almost won.Quote:

I thought the Lakers played good first quarter playing aggressively although i think Bryant was a bit selfish at times. Then they seemed to lose to plot and really and truthfully it was more to do with Celtics playing poor than Lakers playing good, and Celtics could have easily won. I don't think Celtics will be too disappointed i mean they played poor and still almost won, Im still hoping the Lakers win but they need to step it up big time.
good call.. at the beginning of that game, the commentators said something like "the celtics made it through the outburst of the Lakers" when really the Celtics just played so terrible.. they should've been winning early.. the Lakers turned the ball over SO many times in the first quarter, the Celt's just couldn't capitalize..Quote:

Really early in the game still.
Hell yes Lakers playing some really good stuff now they have this 4th game in the bag.
What the hell Lakers :(
If the Lakers lose this game they have lost the finals IMO, this would be such a dishearten loss for the Lakers and its quite incredible comeback by the Celtics. I've been very impressed with Ray Allen he has been very consistent IMO.
Congrats to the Celtics one of the great comebacks in Basketball history.
