NBA Playoffs!!!!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Celtics have to finally man up and win a game on the road. For some reason I think they might, otherwise it ends in 6.

Yeah, they will. I'm not all that worried. The Pistons have been no joke all year and as true as it is about the defensive consistancy this is the playoffs and not the reg season.

[amat]

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...

[match]

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...

I'm not even a Laker fan but I can see that clearly.

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?

Now I know your a Spurs fan.

lol, I like the Magic. If ole Phil can win a ring without a guy named Jordan or Shaq, then I'll start putting the man in 'Red Arbach' status. Until then, G.P. get's my vote.

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

My question to you is who did GP have when he won the chips?
No one??

[match]

I don't 'YET' consider Phil better then Red, but if he brings home the hardware this year, in my book he'll be the best coach in sports history, not basketball history, SPORTS history. Trust me CMM, if LA wins I'll give you 100 rep points bro with no remorse

p.s. Duncan ain't no Kobe

[amat]

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?
