Title: Why Is Not Showing Mercy Considered Classless?
Post by: Turf Hitta on June 18, 2008, 01:44:55 PM
^Do you watch sports, seriously? It's considered tactless and shameful to keep your starters in, run all over your opponent when the game is decided, scream and shout, aggressively blocking shots hollering "get that shit outta here!", all while hopping up and down the court celebrating...This happened DURING the game. Seriously, now, I am disgusted in your comments in regards to basketball these past few weeks...


Hopefully, Doc grows up and learns how to win with respect next time...oh, wait, there wont be a next time. The Celtics are dying.

Well, it is not my intention to "disgust" you, but at the same time, I really don't care if you are disgusted by simple questions. Anyway, the question was not whether it is considered by nameless, faceless people to be classless or distasteful, but WHY is it considered to be classless? Why should a professional team ever let up? Are you disgusted by the Suns 45 point win over Portland during the "Telfair-Z Bo era?" I'm not. They just got demolished, and its as simple as that. The point is, i don't see what it has to do with class. As a player, I would probably be more offended by a team deciding we aren't even worthy of their efforts than I would be by getting my ass handed to me.

Some people just don't like getting their ass handed to them.

Who cares if Boston was playing hard?  No team should just quit no matter how far ahead they are.  Nobody should just let somebody drive in and dunk on you.  Any self respecting man is going to try to stop that.  KG did when Odom tried to drive on him.  Odom threw a little bitch fit.  I guess it took his team getting the piss beat out of them for him to get mad but whatever.

And Laker fans, for the record, I'm not trying to rub salt on the wounds. I just don't understand how outclassing your opponent is classless.

There's a way to be gracious in victory, and it's not by throwing alleyoop dunks and raining in threes when the game is decided, it's by running the clock. Celebrating on the court with five minutes left in the game, throwing Gatorade on Doc Rivers, bringing their families down courtside while the game was still going... even Joey Crawford had to shove a camera man off the court with three minutes left...I'll even admit, Sasha pulled off a bitch move by shooting that 3 when the game was decided vs San Antonio, and Sasha now knows it. That's just not the way to act in sports. Glen Davis also shoved Ronny Turiaf after the game was over...ridiuclous. Celtics showed themselves to be a team of classless hoodlums...then again, this was their last and only chance to win a title, so they better enjoy it while they can. They're tasteless, but I don't blame 'em...PeACe

That really doesn't answer the question though. Just because you don't like what they did doesn't make it classless. Anyway, try to answer the question without regard to last night's game. This is just a sentiment in general across all sports I never understood or agreed with. I mean, Carl Lewis never decided to run a little slower just because he knew he was gonna win.

At least if you don't wanna admit it's classless, just chalk it up as being young and dumb.


You seriously find nothing wrong with pouring Gatorade all up on the court with 3 mins left in the ballgame? LOL. I guess you yourself don't even know what class is... :-\

again, if you don't want to get beat by 40 points in an NBA Finals game then don't allow it to happen on the court


dumping gatorade...maybe thats a stretch in basketball, but that tradition goes all the way back to the 1980s New York Giants, including the 1986 Giants, the best team in football history.

Um, Its Not Really Classless - Its all in the joy of winning something big, why not celebrate? why not bring down the house? why not blow them out? Hell, If I was on a team I would be doing the same thing too - bringin my fam and homies along to party with me - although glen davis deserved to be socked in the head by Ronny - that was just a bitch made move, he was going to shake your hand and he pushed him, what a fag.

It's like in baseball when teams get mad that their pitcher didnt get that no hitter he wanted because the batter hit off him in the 9th inning, like all of a sudden they are supposed to stop playing hard or playing at all.

It's okay AFTER the game, not during...Some of you need to grow up and learn the difference between tasteless and respectable. Nobody said the Celtics shoulda stopped playing, but these dudes were still literally going out of their way, going for NBA Jam dunks and forcing threes until the closing seconds...and against a crushed team, a team who had just lost all its spirit by that point...YOU DONT DO THAT. Seriously, who shoots for a 40 point victory? If a mouse is already dead, do you sadistically continue to play with it and knock it around? They didn't win with pride and didn't have enough carriage to respect their opponent. that's all...If you think it is okay to showboat when you're up by 30 in the closing minutes, when the game is clearly out of reach, get help...PeACe

^You are dumb as can be, man. I GUARANTEE the Lakers would win with grace if they were in that position...Sasha fucked up vs San Antonio, but that was a spur of the moment thing and it was ONE guy. Your team was collectively acting like a bunch of tasteless rooksters. Again, I understand them, because they gotta cherish the moment...it's never gunna happen again. but it's still classless.

all I have to say is that the only way this BOSTON CELTIC 17TH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP could have been any better is if Kobe punched Sasha in the face in the 4th quarter

he doesnt like it cuz he wants the lakers to get treated like lil girls tee ball(where he still plays), where if your gettin exposed for succin a lot more than the other team then they feel bad and stop the game.

kobe and nik the jew are both like lil girls in that they scream and cry when shiet aint go there way cuzz, and they pout and get mad at everyone but theyselves, so of course they wanna have the celtics go easy on them for being girls.

too bad for them the celtics aitn full of soft euros, those niggas straight saw blood and smacced a bitch.

the jew cant handle that, he's losin his mind that somebody would actually embarrass his hero, so he's bitchin about it.

if u dont wanna get smashed on, step up and play better, but just like u saw kobe beg phil to take him out, the lakers followed their 'leader' and gave up.

That does not suffice as an explanation. That doesn't even explain your position. So what you're saying is that you should not do your best if you are vastly superior to your competition? Is Carl Lewis breaking an Olympic world record by a large margin considered classless? Should he not perform to his ability just because he's killin everybody else? It has nothing to do with respect. If you respect your opponent and their ability, then you in fact DO NOT let up, especially when you KNOW they are capable of going on a huge run (down 24 and cutting it to 2 near the end of the game). Professionals get paid millions to perform at their optimum level. So how do you reconcile playing to your ability and playing down to the level of your competition?

I never said not to play to your ability... but when it's over you don't keep padding the lead...it's just not sportsmanlike behavior...never has been, never will be.

I'm getting conflicting ideas here. Do you play to your ability or do you play to make your opponent feel less embarrassed? It is not the duty of the winners to wave the white flag if the beating is too serious.

Shifting back to the game for an example: If it was over as you say, then why do you have a problem with Doc Rivers getting the Gatorade poured on him before time expired? You say it was over. If it was time for Boston to quit playing then what the fuck do you or anybody else care if there was Gatorade on the floor?

Anyway, the original question has still not been answered. Explain your reasoning, not just a cookie cutter response of "It's classless" or "its unsportsmanlike." What is it about imposing your will that is tasteless in an event that romanticizes athletes who impose their will? Isn't that what the people pay to see? Was it classless the way Lennox Lewis completely dismantled Mike Tyson? He didn't have to pick him apart like that for as long as he did, did he? Should he have just quit fighting as well as he could have because Tyson was clearly going to lose? Ray Allen is widely regarded as one of the classiest guys the NBA has ever seen. I sure saw him making a lot of shots "when it was already over" for such a classy guy. LOL

i didn't see yesterday as classless and i wanted the lakers to win... more like the lakers got spanked and there was too much time still left on the clock so they just kept playing... yeah they were celebrating and shit... thats expected... and the whole Gatorade thing i think was done because that shit was OVER!... which really doesn't Happen in the NBA especially a close out game in the finals.... there was a couple of minutes left and up by 30 something so it was as sure thing... usually there is still a chance in a game so no one does that so they dont look stupid... i was really happy for Garnett.  loved the fact at how he said "This is for SODA" staying true like he always was... loyal.

At least if you don't wanna admit it's classless, just chalk it up as being young and dumb.


You seriously find nothing wrong with pouring Gatorade all up on the court with 3 mins left in the ballgame? LOL. I guess you yourself don't even know what class is... :-\

I guess should have expected you to dance around the question without answering it and resort to ad-hominem attacks (very classy, I must admit). Are you going to attempt to explain your reasoning behind your stance that winning by a large margin and not letting up simply because your competition is inferior? Again, don't even take the game last night into account as this is not really even about the game.


I already explained it many times...You beat someones ass=okay. You beat their ass and keep stomping their head in while they're out cold=classless. Real life applies to sports...it's just the way it is, man. Anyone who was brought up with respect will understand this.

That does not suffice as an explanation. That doesn't even explain your position. So what you're saying is that you should not do your best if you are vastly superior to your competition? Is Carl Lewis breaking an Olympic world record by a large margin considered classless? Should he not perform to his ability just because he's killin everybody else? It has nothing to do with respect. If you respect your opponent and their ability, then you in fact DO NOT let up, especially when you KNOW they are capable of going on a huge run (down 24 and cutting it to 2 near the end of the game). Professionals get paid millions to perform at their optimum level. So how do you reconcile playing to your ability and playing down to the level of your competition?



I never said not to play to your ability... but when it's over you don't keep padding the lead...it's just not sportsmanlike behavior...never has been, never will be.

I'm getting conflicting ideas here. Do you play to your ability or do you play to make your opponent feel less embarrassed? It is not the duty of the winners to wave the white flag if the beating is too serious.

Shifting back to the game for an example: If it was over as you say, then why do you have a problem with Doc Rivers getting the Gatorade poured on him before time expired? You say it was over. If it was time for Boston to quit playing then what the fuck do you or anybody else care if there was Gatorade on the floor?

Anyway, the original question has still not been answered. Explain your reasoning, not just a cookie cutter response of "It's classless" or "its unsportsmanlike." What is it about imposing your will that is tasteless in an event that romanticizes athletes who impose their will? Isn't that what the people pay to see? Was it classless the way Lennox Lewis completely dismantled Mike Tyson? He didn't have to pick him apart like that for as long as he did, did he? Should he have just quit fighting as well as he could have because Tyson was clearly going to lose? Ray Allen is widely regarded as one of the classiest guys the NBA has ever seen. I sure saw him making a lot of shots "when it was already over" for such a classy guy. LOL


Ray Allen actually was the only one who kept it classy from the Boston squad...and I'm willing to admit that. If Lennox Lewis woulda knocked Mike Tyson out, then jumped on him and continued with the beatdown, THAT woulda' been classless. It's unclassy because it's disrespectful. You're supposed to respect your opponent and win gracefully, not pour salt in their wounds and rub it in their face...it's called sportsmanlike conduct, and the Celtics simply didn't show themselves to have that last night. What's really so hard to understand? Do you not understand why players dribble the clock out instead of taking an extra shot after it's clear that they've won? Come on, man, did your mama never teach you anything about respect?

You can consider the Lakers (apart from Odom) to be classless for giving up with 5 minutes to go.

You never let up either way, whether you're the winning team or the team getting spanked.

aye my nicca turf hitta, dont waste no more time with this jewish clown. the lil boy is just pissed cuz his team got they ass whooped and instead of talkin about how horrible kobe choked or how his lakers succed ass last night, he rather change the subject and have everyone talk about niccas being 'classless.'

anybody who aint wearin gay kobe luvin' glasses like him would see that kobe is the most classless nba nicca out, u know, rapin white girls and all. plus the lakers dont know shiet about class, like towelie cuzz said, they didnt seem to complain about being unclassy when they left kobe in the game to pad his stats and score 81.

they coulda took bitch ass kobe out, but instead left him in so he can keep scoring more and get into the 80s. the lakers was already up 15 with only like 2 mins 50 seconds left, kobe already had 74 and the game was over, the lakers had already made a huge comebacc, but the lakers left kobe in and he kept shooting 3 pointers even tho he knew the game was over. the raptors had choked a huge lead away in the 3rd and 4th and wasnt coming bacc, but kobe just kept shootin 3s cuz he wanted to be classless and get his own glory. i know this gay jew is gonna try and say it aint true, but the box score/play by play dont lie.  kobe had 74 points, a 15 point laker lead, only 2 mins left and he still stayed in until only 4 seconds was left. it was over at 3 mins left, but he stayed in to 'keep paddin the lead. the raptors even took all they main guys out. u can see the substitutions, thats like giving up. instead of takin kobe out too, with a huge lead and 2 mins, the lakers left him in to score 7 more points and break 80. see fo yoself cuzz.

like i said, jewbitch just wants everyone to forget that the lakers and kobe CHOKED in the finals. celtics whooped ass.

was it classy for the lakers to keep in a guy who had 75 points even though they had a 15 point lead, completely crushed the other teams heart with a double digit 4th quarter comeback, there was only 2 mins left, the raptors put all their reserves in the game (a universal sign of quietly accepting a loss) when they were obviously gonna win?

sure doesnt seem classy.

on top of that, was it classy for the player with 75 points, about to go against a bunch of reserve players who just saw their starters fucc up a huge lead and leave the game in shame, chucc up TWO 3 point attempts with a win secured and  FIFTEEN POINT lead?

sure doesnt seem classy.

the lakers kept kobe in ONLY so he could score more than 80, its obvious when u see that he already had 75 and was still shooting 3s. the lakers were up by 15 with 2 mins left, its not like they were in danger of losing.

but these dudes were still literally going out of their way,  forcing threes until the closing seconds...and against a crushed team, a team who had just lost all its spirit by that point...YOU DONT DO THAT. Seriously, who shoots for a 40 point victory? If a mouse is already dead, do you sadistically continue to play with it and knock it around? They didn't win with pride and didn't have enough carriage to respect their opponent. that's all...If you think it is okay to showboat when you're up by 30 in the closing minutes, when the game is clearly out of reach, get help...PeACe

that sounds like kobe and the lakers literally going out of their way to force threes until the closing seconds in his 81 point game, against a crushed team who had just lost all its spirit by that point...YOU DONT DO THAT.

You're right, nevermind...showboating and running up the score when the game is decided is very fitting for world class champions. I change my mind, good job.

You seriously find nothing wrong with pouring Gatorade all up on the court with 3 mins left in the ballgame? LOL. I guess you yourself don't even know what class is... :-\

I guess should have expected you to dance around the question without answering it and resort to ad-hominem attacks (very classy, I must admit). Are you going to attempt to explain your reasoning behind your stance that winning by a large margin and not letting up simply because your competition is inferior? Again, don't even take the game last night into account as this is not really even about the game.


I already explained it many times...You beat someones ass=okay. You beat their ass and keep stomping their head in while they're out cold=classless. Real life applies to sports...it's just the way it is, man. Anyone who was brought up with respect will understand this.

That does not suffice as an explanation. That doesn't even explain your position. So what you're saying is that you should not do your best if you are vastly superior to your competition? Is Carl Lewis breaking an Olympic world record by a large margin considered classless? Should he not perform to his ability just because he's killin everybody else? It has nothing to do with respect. If you respect your opponent and their ability, then you in fact DO NOT let up, especially when you KNOW they are capable of going on a huge run (down 24 and cutting it to 2 near the end of the game). Professionals get paid millions to perform at their optimum level. So how do you reconcile playing to your ability and playing down to the level of your competition?



I never said not to play to your ability... but when it's over you don't keep padding the lead...it's just not sportsmanlike behavior...never has been, never will be.

I'm getting conflicting ideas here. Do you play to your ability or do you play to make your opponent feel less embarrassed? It is not the duty of the winners to wave the white flag if the beating is too serious.

Shifting back to the game for an example: If it was over as you say, then why do you have a problem with Doc Rivers getting the Gatorade poured on him before time expired? You say it was over. If it was time for Boston to quit playing then what the fuck do you or anybody else care if there was Gatorade on the floor?

Anyway, the original question has still not been answered. Explain your reasoning, not just a cookie cutter response of "It's classless" or "its unsportsmanlike." What is it about imposing your will that is tasteless in an event that romanticizes athletes who impose their will? Isn't that what the people pay to see? Was it classless the way Lennox Lewis completely dismantled Mike Tyson? He didn't have to pick him apart like that for as long as he did, did he? Should he have just quit fighting as well as he could have because Tyson was clearly going to lose? Ray Allen is widely regarded as one of the classiest guys the NBA has ever seen. I sure saw him making a lot of shots "when it was already over" for such a classy guy. LOL


Ray Allen actually was the only one who kept it classy from the Boston squad...and I'm willing to admit that. If Lennox Lewis woulda knocked Mike Tyson out, then jumped on him and continued with the beatdown, THAT woulda' been classless. It's unclassy because it's disrespectful. You're supposed to respect your opponent and win gracefully, not pour salt in their wounds and rub it in their face...it's called sportsmanlike conduct, and the Celtics simply didn't show themselves to have that last night. What's really so hard to understand? Do you not understand why players dribble the clock out instead of taking an extra shot after it's clear that they've won? Come on, man, did your mama never teach you anything about respect?

So then it was classy of Ray Allen to be draining 3's even though the C's were up 30+? See what I mean about conflicting ideas? And Lewis toyed with Tyson very much in the same way that Boston toyed with LA. Tyson was clearly going to lose the fight but Lewis played with him and made him look like a bigger fool than Tyson could ever make himself look. Lewis removed any shadow of a doubt who the better fighter was. Same thing with last night. You can respect your opponent but that doesn't mean you can't crush them (on the court, ring, field, track, octagon, etc) and shake hands when its all said and done. And you shouldn't be talking about class and respect. Should I go through the posts and count up how many times you called somebody an idiot or insulted them in some way? Not a classy thing to do whether provoked or not.



You're right, nevermind...showboating and running up the score when the game is decided is very fitting for world class champions. I change my mind, good job. Players should just forget the routine of respecting their opponent and winding down the clock in the closing seconds and just hoist up shots, ala Vujacic...fuck sportsmanlike conduct, it's all about creaming your opponent to the fullest extent and rubbing their defeat all up in their faces, right? I salute you.

Is this your way of saying you're not going to explain your reasoning?



I explained it...you don't beat a mouse you've been tryna catch after you already killed it. If you don't get that, I don't know what you will. Why can't you answer my question? Is it all of a sudden okay to shoot in the closing seconds of a game you've won when it's already decided?...I've answered you, now you answer me.

aye my nicca turf hitta, dont waste no more time with this jewish clown. the lil boy is just pissed cuz his team got they ass whooped and instead of talkin about how horrible kobe choked or how his lakers succed ass last night, he rather change the subject and have everyone talk about niccas being 'classless.'

anybody who aint wearin gay kobe luvin' glasses like him would see that kobe is the most classless nba nicca out, u know, rapin white girls and all. plus the lakers dont know shiet about class, like towelie cuzz said, they didnt seem to complain about being unclassy when they left kobe in the game to pad his stats and score 81.

they coulda took bitch ass kobe out, but instead left him in so he can keep scoring more and get into the 80s. the lakers was already up 15 with only like 2 mins 50 seconds left, kobe already had 74 and the game was over, the lakers had already made a huge comebacc, but the lakers left kobe in and he kept shooting 3 pointers even tho he knew the game was over. the raptors had choked a huge lead away in the 3rd and 4th and wasnt coming bacc, but kobe just kept shootin 3s cuz he wanted to be classless and get his own glory. i know this gay jew is gonna try and say it aint true, but the box score/play by play dont lie.  kobe had 74 points, a 15 point laker lead, only 2 mins left and he still stayed in until only 4 seconds was left. it was over at 3 mins left, but he stayed in to 'keep paddin the lead. the raptors even took all they main guys out. u can see the substitutions, thats like giving up. instead of takin kobe out too, with a huge lead and 2 mins, the lakers left him in to score 7 more points and break 80. see fo yoself cuzz.

like i said, jewbitch just wants everyone to forget that the lakers and kobe CHOKED in the finals. celtics whooped ass.

Phil was criticized a couple games before that for taking Kobe out when he had 62 points and there was still a whole quarter to play...There's a difference between showboating and bringing your team back with a historic performance. A 13 point lead with 2:35 to play is not 100% safe...A 30 point lead with 3 minutes to go is...Learn the difference, genius.

 Sure its ok. Who the fuck cares? I get your point. They were defeated. They kept shooting. So? What is wrong with that? What is it about that that makes it classless? Instead of making abstract references to mice, you might want to start with a definition of class and take it from there. And before you put words in my mouth, I'm not saying it isn't classless or it is classless.

There's a way to be gracious in victory, and it's not by throwing alleyoop dunks and raining in threes when the game is decided, it's by running the clock. Celebrating on the court with five minutes left in the game, throwing Gatorade on Doc Rivers, bringing their families down courtside while the game was still going... even Joey Crawford had to shove a camera man off the court with three minutes left...I'll even admit, Sasha pulled off a bitch move by shooting that 3 when the game was decided vs San Antonio, and Sasha now knows it. That's just not the way to act in sports. Glen Davis also shoved Ronny Turiaf after the game was over...ridiuclous. Celtics showed themselves to be a team of classless hoodlums...then again, this was their last and only chance to win a title, so they better enjoy it while they can. They're tasteless, but I don't blame 'em...PeACe

Agreeing or disagreeing with "common sports ideology" has little if anything to do with whether or not I have respect (nice job sneaking another ad hominem in there too, BTW). Further, I told you already that I don't necessarily agree or disagree. It is funny to watch you ignore anything that puts the Lakers (Kobe) in the same group as the guys you call classless. And I disagree. I think true class is being classy in spite of being disrespected and not allowing someone who IS classless to lower you to their level.

A 13 point lead with 2:35 to play is not 100% safe...A 30 point lead with 3 minutes to go is...Learn the difference, genius.

you need to checc bac into reality jewboy. the raptors had just blown a huge lead, there confidence was shot, they GAVE UP by pulling chris bosh,mo peterson jalen rose and jones, put in some no name bench players and baccups who were still developing (villanueva & calderon), they took a total of FOUR shots in the final 2 minutes, were down by FIFTEEN points and kobe had already scored 75. The raptors were NOT trying to win, anyone who saw that game KNEW IT WAS OVER nicca...the lakers ONLY kept Kobe in because they wanted him to score more than 80. There is no reason to shoot 2 3 pointers with a 15 point lead when the other team put in all their baccups.

just accept it, instead of runnin out the clocc and puttin the subs in after the raptors gave up and did, the lakers left kobe in to shoot 3s just to pad his stats.

everyone with eyes can see that, except yo groupie ass. keep avoidin the truth u bitch ass jew.

we all know this jew is the king of conflictin ideas and contradictin himself like a flip flopper with 10023432 excuses. watch me use his own argument against him cuzz. i bet his head is gonna explode all over his kobe t shirt. lets see how he makes up excuses for this shiet. ahahah

but these dudes were still literally going out of their way,  forcing threes until the closing seconds...and against a crushed team, a team who had just lost all its spirit by that point...YOU DONT DO THAT. Seriously, who shoots for a 40 point victory? If a mouse is already dead, do you sadistically continue to play with it and knock it around? They didn't win with pride and didn't have enough carriage to respect their opponent. that's all...If you think it is okay to showboat when you're up by 30 in the closing minutes, when the game is clearly out of reach, get help...PeACe

that sounds like kobe and the lakers literally going out of their way to force threes until the closing seconds in his 81 point game, against a crushed team who had just lost all its spirit by that point...YOU DONT DO THAT. Seriously, who shoots for 81 points in a already secured victory? If a mouse is already dead, do you sadistically continue to play with it and knock it around? They didn't win with pride and didn't have enough carriage to respect their opponent. that's all...If you think it is okay to shoot showboat 3s when you're up by 15 in the closing minutes JUST to get more than 80 points, when the game is clearly out of reach, get help...



i know jews are cheap faggots, but are yall not able to read too? i dont have to compare it, you already did with your own argument.

That's an example of someone disrespecting a team already defeated.

They were just celebrating, man. With too much passion, but KG is known for being like that. Do you remember your Dream Teams with him and how he used to be like that against opponents who were down by 30? He's like that. Against everybody.

Anyway homie have you ever been in Greece? Or Turkey? Or even here in Italy? Have you ever seen the Greek Finals? Just to show you a little example..

http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/Jbi8-kQIEKg

You can't immagine the shit they're saying against opponent players and team. I was been there (my father was an international ref and i went there with him a lot of times watching him). Oh, and it was just the pre-game. Immagine during the game. One day it was an ULEB Cup match i've seen a toilet thrown into the bastkeball court from the arena. Crazy shit. I've seen fans throwing coins against opponent players, entering the court with 3-4 minutes to play to celebrate the win, or giving punches and shit to opponent players.

http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/61uztwjAi6E

This is the last game of Mike D'Antoni in Italy (he retired after this one). He's the #8 in red jersey, just to let you know. And this was Game-5 (out of 5) of the Italian finals.

That's what i'm talking about. THIS shit is scaring/wrong/disrespectful. Not the players celebrating the win and blocking an opponent player's shot!! C'mon.

Watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/FODOpBpMwx8

And you're bitching about some gatorade thrown against the coach too early??? Or KG celebrating a late block too much?

this dumbass just makes shiet up cuz he luv to cry like his bitch ass hero kobe. they threw the gatorade on doc with 30 seconds left in the game, not no 3 mins. but this groupie probably didnt even know cuz he musta turnt off the tv and been cryin under his kobe bed. the whole point of the gatorade shiet is to do it near the end of the game to catch the coach off guard. but the lakers dont know shiet about what to do when you win cuz they got pissed on in the finals and left as losers.

There was nothing wrong with what they did, although I don't remember the Glen Davis-Ronnie Turiaf incident. Most of the dunks and all that were from the reserves, I remember Tony Allen dunking the alley-oop, Powe and Davis having dunks, and the Lakers still had starters in, were still fouling, trying to drive and get some dunks, so why wouldn't the players keep attacking? The last possession they had, Eddie House just dribbled and took the 24-second violation, that's pretty classy. If they had their starters in the whole time, were talking a bunch of trash, then that could be considered classless. But they let the reserves get in, have some fun, and it's completely the Lakers fault for letting them get up so much. The Lakers were far less classy, by not even bothering to give much effort.

The game was decided, but the time hadn't expired. Throwing alley-oop dunks and commiting hard fouls when the game is decided isn't common in baskeball...I understand that they had just won a ring and that they felt the need to cherish the moment while it lasts, but that's not typical, at all...it is what it is, though. I can give a fuck less, I just think they're some bitch ass punks.

LOL...those are all bad examples that had nothing to do with what I was talking about. I dunno about Europe, but in America, teams usually don't celebrate on the court until the game is over, and they don't typically run up the score by throwing alley-oop dunks when the opponents are down 40. It's just common practice, man...I didn't make it up.

You can see it from another prospective. Laker players showed no class when they realized they were down by 30, and they didn't even try to reduce the deficit to 20 points. They considered the game over, and they just wanted the Celtics to stop playing and make the time expire. Unfortunately you can't do it, in basketball. They showed no pride, no class, no respect for the game. They were loosing, but they still had to play till the last minute of the game. They didn't. They were the first ones who showed no respect to US, to their fans. To their jersey. To Laker history. Sorry but i can't blame the Celtics for that. I wanted my Lakers to recude the deficit to 15-20 points. Shit, at least try it!! In other words: they deserved to be humiliated.

You gotta remember...sometimes you only GET ONE CHANCE...so make it count.

This is no semi final match or some quarter final game..or a regular season game...ITS THE FUCKIN FINALS!!! THE GAME EVERYONE WANTS TO WIN! So what if they were cheering so early. The lakers should've at least made a game out of it!

Probably, i don't know. Anyway it's all over now. To tell you the truth the more our players feels disrespected and humiliated, the best is it for the Lakers. Cause that will put some fire under their asses. That's why Phil used the 5 starters on the floor so long before finally giving it up. He wanted them to feel humiliated.

They showed no pride, no class, no respect for the game. They were loosing, but they still had to play till the last minute of the game. They didn't. They were the first ones who showed no respect to US, to their fans. To their jersey. To Laker history. Sorry but i can't blame the Celtics for that. I wanted my Lakers to recude the deficit to 15-20 points. Shit, at least try it!! In other words: they deserved to be humiliated.


We had our reserves in, man...Throwing in the towel and lacking class is two very different things. Again, you're confusing what I'm saying.

how so?

Celtics took out KG and Peirce in the 4th

When running up the score in a blowout, throwing alley-oop dunks in the closing minutes of a decided game, spilling Gatorade on the court while the game is in session, and disrespecting your opponents by shoving them out your way when they come to give you props on the victory is considered classy, you haters will have something on me... :-*

Shut the fuck up about the gatorade. 30 seconds left in a game you yourself say was over way before that point. And fuck letting the bench guys have a little fun in the biggest game of their career by throwing up some alley oop dunks. The nerve of those assholes. Didn't they stop and think, "Hey, some Laker fans are gonna cry like bitches if we actually enjoy the clinching title game. Let's just turn the ball over on purpose multiple times for 5 minutes so they can make the score look respectable." This is an absolute atrocity.

It wasn't 30 seconds to go, that's just when they showed the replay of it. Lakers were disrespected in numerous ways, man, it's not just them running up the score with showboat plays. Why do you fail to address that the Celtic players also disrespected the Laker players after the game by shoving them out the way and not showing any gracefulness. Either way, this can go on forever, so what's the point?

Whatever the game was over by the time they poured the Gatorade and everybody on the fuckin planet knew it. Who gives a shit if the reserves got to have a little fun in garbage time in the title clinching game? Get the fuck over it. It has nothing to do with class. Why dont you talk about Sasha crying like a bitch on the bench? Why dont you talk about Lamar crying like a bitch when he got his shit packed by KG? Why not talk about how the Lakers gave up in the 2nd fuckin quarter? The Lakers got outclassed, that doesn't make Boston classless.

^just say you're crying like a bitch because your guys got completely dismantled...that's all, man. If the table was turned and it was LA's reserves getting thrown in during garbage time to have a little fun on the way to the title you wouldn't fuckin care at all. shut the fuck up already and act like a fuckin man for god's sake.

Anyway there's only one way to retaliate, and it's on the floor. We'd stop talk the talk and start to walk the walk this time. Next year is gonna be the year.

Exactly, and I'm sure this is the approach the Lakers are going to try to take. That's how a professional makes up for getting embarrassed.

I would be shocked if I saw the Lakers, a world class organization, behaving like shitheads when winnin a title... My team doesn't push you out the way when you come to give them props, that's for sure. Anyways, this thread is dead. You simply don't agree with common sportsl ideology.
