Celtics fan here... I am miffed by the extreme confidence of all Lakers fans. This thread has offered no insight into the series going on at all. If this were a Cowboys discussion it wouldn't have made it past page 1.

Boston was supposed to be home sitting in their recliners, playing with their grandchildren, weeks ago. Remember some analysts didn't think they could even get past Miami. But that doesn't make them any less formidable of an opponent. They are the best matchup for L.A. Orlando or Cleveland would be down 3-0 and would barely be competitive at this stage of the series.

IMO, the play has been brutal to this point on both sides. Mostly due to too many ticky tack fouls called on both teams. I'd love to see some basketball played between the foul shots every once in a while. Let 'em play and swallow the whistle for a while (mostly because i think Boston has an advantage if that happens).

Nice post. Post more often. I'm bored with Bleu,Zrin and juck.

We could have more civil discussion in this thread other than "LeBrick suckzz!!!!1111!"

What are you going to do when LeBron goes to NJ? Stick with him or stay with the Cavs?

When you're deailing with a disgruntled LeMad fan and not a Celtic fan you end up with a thread like this. I happen to love all of it whether a meaningful transfer takes place or not. I also agree with everything you said. Some other things to note about the series thus far:

• Andrew Bynum is playing exceptionally well and is providing that presence we really need in the middle. Thanks goodness for knee drains!!!
  
• Pau Gasol is playing much stronger thna he did in 2008.
  
• Artest has given us that enforcer that we truly missed when Rick Fox retired.
  
• Derek Fisher is a freaking beast and a half.. nuff said.
  
• Paul Pierce should have never opened his mouth and made that "we're not coming back to LA" comment as he walked off the court after game #2.
  
• Rondo is a freaking beast with the ball. He's so difficult to contain and has a ridiculous knack for findingthe open man. He bothers me the most.
  
• Ray Allen went from breaking a record for 3ptrs made to going 0-13. WOWZERS. I'm not banking on Allen having another 0-13 effort. We need to keep someone in his face or it's going to spell trouble tonight.
  
• Our bench needs to outplay your bench. Plain & simple.
  
• The refs have definitely left lots to be desired in this series. When you know two team are coming it to try and out physical each other you give them a chance to play that physical game. the fans want it. The team want it. Don't chop things up without at least letting thme mix it up a bit... .very disappointing.

Meaningful thoughts to a Celtic fan...

this has to be the most horrible display of basketball since high school girls were not allowed past half court.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

These refs are absolutly embarrassing. Those foul calls on Rasheed Wallace were an absolute joke. Gasol going to the line every ****ing time. He straight up fell on his own and yelled like he got hit.

That charge call on Pierce was not a charge. KoBRICK was CLEARLY shuffling his feet.

I'm sorry but the Lakers did not outplay the Celtics that half. These refs are giftwrapping free trips to the FT line for Pau "ow my ******" Gasol.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

BYEEE

FAKESHOW!!

:laugh1::laugh1::laugh1:

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Kobe Bryant threw away the game clinching pass

So clutch!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jed_70]

If the Celtics win this thing I don't know who deserves the MVP trophy. No one on their team has been consistent enough, IMO.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Where them haters at?

My knees would absolutly be knocking if Bynum continues not to play. Lamar and Pau got *****ed by Big Baby and Perkins the whole second half. It looked exactly like 2008.

I love it.

Byebye BYEnum. Hope you blow that knee out for your career lol

Not gonna get involved in the pissing match that this thread has become, but as a lifelong Bulls fan, this is the biggest difference between Kobe and MJ. I would never say MJ did it by himself by any means, but he was never the sidekick. From 99-03 Shaq was the focal point and best player of those Laker teams. In '04 Kobe had started to surpass Shaq's skill level, but they lost. MJ was, for lack of a better term, The Man, for all 6 of his titles. Couple that with the fact Kobe has lost 2 Finals and only has 1 MVP and I don't think even if Kobe wins this year and next that he would be MJ's equal. In that situation MJs 6>Kobe's 6.

right here through thick & thin.

This won't be an easy series for my purp&gold by any means. It's going to be the toughest championship the Kobe era Lakers have ever had to get. There will be major drama throughout and I will be thrilled to have witnessed it all. The Lakers will take it but they'll have to do it in 7 games.

U mad? I love that pic Rampage posted.

:stupid:

Oh looksie. There I go quoting me again. I just want to be sure LeMad doesn't get anything twisted.

Nice try. You're all over the freakin place. One minute you're saying its a 7 game series saying it will be tough, then the next minute you're saying they'll wrap it up in Boston.

Honestly bro just stop. You're covering all you're bases so you can say "I told you so".

You do read everything I post right? :laugh2: Let me say it once more but this time without the expletive so the mods remain happy.

I have said the Lakers would take it in 7 games since day one and stand firmly by that call. That said, I am going to talk some stuff.... lol.. Post #75.

Negative LeMad fan. I have said the Lakers would take it in 7 games since day one and stand firmly by that call. That said, I am going to talk some stuff.... lol

Don't let the stuff talking cloud the picture of reality.

Going to bed. I'm really enjoying this. You're so confused. Boston fan? Cleveland fan? LeMad fan? You just don't know. :laugh2: Love you bro. nohomo.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

I'm surprised you came out of the WPP to even post this. Normally you disappear for weeks at a time when all doesn't go well then reappear when you see a glimmer of hope. Rest assured, I will be right here through thick & thin.

Actually... I take that back. Paul Pierce was right. The Celtics aren't going back to Cali. We're closing this **** out in Boston!!!! :laugh2:

Well one out of three isn't too bad I guess Bynum's knee is not going to make it through this series it doesn't appear. And the lack of depth at the position for the Lakers is really going to hurt them. You are a championship caliber team no doubt, but you only have one man (Odom) to back up Gasol and Bymum? That's not good management IMO. People didn't give any credit for the pick up of Rasheed Wallace, but throughout these playoffs he's been exactly what we needed... a tough player who's not afraid to foul and foul hard, but more importantly he's another capable player to steal some minutes off the bench with "Big Baby."

Gasol's game changed the minute he set foot in Boston. He's playing scared if you ask me. He's disappearing down the stretch, not moving without the ball, and standing around watching it get dribbled around on the perimeter. However, to his credit, he knows that if he yells like Serena Williams on a backhand smash that he will get a foul called in the paint...

I have to disagree with your assessment of Fisher. He's had one good quarter out of 16... That doesn't equal a beast and a half... if that were Barber out there we'd be screaming for more Farmar... I think him guarding Allen is killing his legs, and his attempts at flailing his arms to draw fouls are killing him, because everytime he does it HE ends up with the foul.

After last night I do agree that your bench HAS to outplay our bench. Then again if your starters can't do it, how can your bench do it? I don't see anyone on your bench that scares me (especially when playing in Boston). Brown scares me in LA because one explosive dunk of his sends the Staples Center through the roof. Otherwise, as long as Big Baby keeps owning Lamar, I think the Boston bench will dominate the Lakers bench...
