So who's going to be in next year's finals?
In all seriousness (I don't know why I say that, in all seriousness I think this series is over) What a game, that was great.
I underrated Paul Pierce before this year and these playoffs. I thought he was a star but one that was in that second tier with guys like McGrady, Howard, Deron Williams, Boozer, Gilbert Arenas and not in that first tier of stars with Kobe, Duncan, Lebron, Chris Paul but he is a star, he has played as well as Kobe has. He was the key.
The shot of the game was Posey's three with a little over a minute left, before he made that I was thinking the Lakers might pull it out.
haha, it took you THIS year to realize how good Pierce is.. his PPG this year is probably the LOWEST since his first year in the NBA 8-9 years ago.. Even though Pierce played his whole career in the East, he's still always been a top tier NBA player.. ALWAYS..Quote:

It's just really crazy how well they each accept their roles and go out and do their own thing.
If you ask me, Ray Allen has been the key to this series.. not taking anything away from Garnett or Pierce.. Although i do say this simply because Allen had not really been showing up for the previous series, but he has been solid in every game so far against LA, even when Pierce/Garnett were not rolling as usual..
well to be fair I really only watch the playoffs which means for a while I forgot that there actually was a team in Boston :DQuote:

No, I knew he was a top player obviously, what I'm saying is I still probably underrated him, I put him in the class of guys like McGrady and I think he's probably a bit above that.
understandable Oumafan.. i've always been a fan of the Celtics since i was into basketball (the home team), but it's been painful to watch any of their games previous to this year (and 2002).. So they were definitely off of the radar for the last few years.. This was the first year in a few years that i actively followed them all year, as opposed to checking the sports scores in the morning to see if they won or not, and occasionally watching a full game.
Nice snatch from Kobe Bryant near the end i loved that dunk, Lakers are still very leaky defense wise and they will need to step it up big time in that department. Celtics once again coming back from a big points loss to make it a close game, but this time Lakers held on and i actually think Kobe's dunk near the end was a big key to the Lakers winning. Pierce played a great game and should be happy with himself, i was disappointed with Kobe after the 1st quarter, he seemed to have a great 1st quarter then go right down hill but he redeemed himself at the end so its all good, COME ON LAKERS.
I didn't see anything last night that convinced me the Lakers will win two straight in Boston. Not having Perkins hurts but I don't think its enough to make the difference.
The lakers have showed glimmers of greatness but glimmers don't win championships. It will end in my neck of the woods... A mile away at the garden!:owned:
Fuck the lakers, the glory days are coming back to the Celtics!!!
Hehe thats what I thought too....I felt really bad for Sasha man after that ole he pulled on Ray Allen at the end.Quote:

I think the Lakers start out too fast and then they have nothing left at the end, they seem to become weaker and weaker as the game goes on.Quote:

Lake Show getting raped now. :D
This is a joke, a complete joke the Lakers are playing the worst basketball I have ever seen them play they have absolutely nothing for the Celtics right now. They are lucky this lead isn't 40, they have been that bad. Just no vigor in this team at all, piss poor basketball. Defense is decent for the Celtics but Gasol has been on the wrong side of the floor half the time and...this is terrible. At least make it a game this is awful, frustrating to watch even for a Laker hater.
Bahahahahahahahahahahah;D:LOLATYOU:
That's called gang rape. :DQuote:

One word... Destruction
Kobe = not Michael Jordan
You can say that again he has been quite disappointing in these finals, he has only played good in spurts, certainly nowhere as clutch as Jordan was in his prime.Quote:

Horrible showing. What happened to defense? We needed Big Game James Worthy and Magic johnson to come in there or something because that was bad. Garnett was hitting alot of early shot though. I'm glad to see him finally get a ring. He was like the youngest NBA player when he came into the league and now after all those crappy Timberwolves teams he finally gets the championship.
When Kobe quits you know the Lakers as a whole are going to quit. You could tell even when he got off to good starts in the first quarters of the last two games they were all threes, he had given up hope of getting to the basket and that's what he does, he gets to the basket. Celtics defense got into his head.
