Welp the dream matchup is now a reality. Who goes all the way?
-
Lakers take it.... when it all comes down to it, it's going to be the MVP and the best 4th quarter closer showing why he's the best.
-
Celtics got this
good luck to you laker fans

Lakers in 5.
-
I think this is gonna be one of the best finals series in many years.
-
Lakers in 5...maybe even a sweep. Celtics are no match for us. From the coach, to the bench, to the stars, to the experience. No match.
-
I think for Boston to win, it will have to go 7 games, but I'm picking the Lakers in 6, with L.A. winning game 1.
-
ima say Lakers in 6

This is gonna be a great series. Im taking Boston in 7. It wouldnt bother me at all if the Lakers took it tho.
-
I say Lakers in 6. We're undefeated at home and 3-0 in closeout games.
Boston takes the first 2 games. Lakers win the next 3 in L.A. then we steal game 6 in Boston and get our celebration on in the garden ;D

nah, more like we lose either game 1 or 2, then we steal one in boston and then come back home and finish them off in the next three

Best player on the floor : Lakers
Best coach : Lakers .. the biggest mismatch
Best bench : Lakers
Tend to dissapear in the clutch : Boston
The only edge Boston is in D . but Lakers have been very good in this sector too .. plus Boston hasn't played a great offense yet ..
-
i wouldn't be suprised if the lakers swept this series...honestly. we've already proved we can win in the two hardest places to play....which is utah and san antonio. boston fans are a bunch of band wagon jumpers so i don't see them having home court has any effect on what will probably happen. i can see the celts getting maybe one game maybe game 2 or 4 but overall i'm pretty confident in the lakers. the boston celtics are a joke, and like the spurs lose favor the longer this series goes.
fisher.....after stopping iverson/williams/parker.....fucking rondo will be a walk in the echo park
kobe can easily stop allen and pierce and there's no way pierce nor allen are going to contain Mamba
odom and gasol and going to bother perkins/brown/garnett with their length quickness and passing ability
boston is a good half court defensive team, but not that great in transition. expect the lakers to run all over the celts
the bench of the lakers is going to overwhelm boston, too much speed too much poise.
-
Key thing here, the Lakers are 2-8 against the Celtics in the NBA finals, but have won 2 of 3 in the 80's. It's time to even things out a little. We need to beat them a lot more than that, but a 3-1 advantage since the modern era of the NBA started is nice. And to get 15 titles to their 16 is one more thing to get the stats in our favor. Lets keep the Celtics reaching for 17, as that was such a huge deal that Rick Fox wore 17 in honor of his time as a Celtic trying for that 17th Boston title.
-
and what's scary is we could get 16 next year VERY easy as well.....andrew bynum and ariza back =OMMFG!

I would love to see the Celtics again next year and get 16 on their home court and tie them... oh man... I'm feeling that old Celtic hate... this is great.
-
Lakers in 6....
I think Trevor is going to play more then Luke in this series.....we need him to defend Ray Allen & Paul Pierce...
-
when talking about the series everybody tries to scare me like the Celtics are who they are 20 years ago
I'm confident the Lakers can win because their games compared to the Celtics playoff games have looked more impressive
I think Boston is a bit overrated, that being said they could still beat the Lakers no doubt
I just feel they're not gonna get it done, that's why I bet $200 on the Lakers with numerous people, they better come through
-
fisher.....after stopping iverson/williams/parker.....fucking rondo will be a walk in the echo park
I'm glad you brought that up. Fisher's defense has been sick as hell this post-season. He hasn't necessarily shut anybody down but he's bothered the fuck out of all of them (especially Deron Williams who I thought would've been the toughest competition unless we played the Hornets).
-
go celtsics
-
I'm backing the Celtics, but I don't mind who wins really........Spurs are out! Woohoo
-
Fuck Boston, let's do this Lakers
-
Lakers in 5...
-
Lakers in 6

you guys see the Celtics players after the game?
in the locker room chanting "Beat L.A. - Beat L.A.!"
haha that's some lame shit, what is this?

Yeah, I seen that shit. Fuckin' gay..
-
They have already released these lames Beat LA T-Shirt ... the Cs back to the Finals after 21 years look like a man who cant wait to hit a wrinkled pussy after being locked up during decades ... pathetic
-
^So the current Lakers are like a wrinkled pussy? Come on, you guys are better than that.
-
no, but between all the foreign guys like sasha, pau, and turiaf, it's certainly hairy. but like great american poet Axel W. Rose once said when he got off the bus in LA "welcome to the jungle...you're gonna die"
fuck the celtics and their lame ass band wagon jumpin' fans who just appeared after 21 years.
-
^So the current Lakers are like a wrinkled pussy? Come on, you guys are better than that.
that's not I wanted to mean .. the Cs were way too excited after their win , they acted like they won the ship .. it's like that wack ass Eddie House screamin to bother a Cav who got a wide open 3 in the Game 7 ... I know this team hasn't done shit for 20+ years but they look like fools
-
L.A. is gonna need to pay attention to K. Perkins & Rondo.
They will be the KEY ingredient for the C's.
Together they form a complete player in both Point's & Rebounds.
K.G. will get his usual 19+ (Prob increse during the finals to 25+) additional mins
Allen will get his 15+ (Prob increse during the finals to 25+) additional mins
And Pierce will get his 21+ (Prob increse during the finals to 25+) additional mins
even if they play the best ball of the year, similar to what Barkley said about the Spurs
if the big three score 75 point's it still is not enough to beat L.A.
The C's bench will have to play better than The Bench Mob to stand a chance.
Or should I say, The Bench Mob will have to play like they did all season long
and not let us down like they did during some of the Utah series & Denver.
if The Lakers bench can hold us down, it almost seems like a lock.
Pau needs to forget about being blocked and take it stronger to the basket.
Boston only has one true flopper in Pierce, Gasol should not worry as much about foul trouble.
Kobe & Odom are 24/7 They will get theirs...
Fisher will be key, as will Turiaf.
Danm I can't wait (Like a WWII vet coming home for some of that Poon')
Lakers in 5 (Game 1 will be the Game to win, set the tone)

lakers in 5 or 6

A position-by-position look at the matchups in the NBA finals between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
CENTER: Kendrick Perkins vs. Pau Gasol. The Lakers wouldn't be here without their midseason acquisition of Gasol from Memphis. He's a good passer for a big man, making him an excellent fit for the triangle offense, and is shooting 53 percent in the postseason while averaging 17.7 points. Perkins made 61.5 percent of his shots in the regular season and had some strong games in the Eastern Conference finals, including an 18-point, 16-rebound performance in Game 5. Edge: Lakers.
POWER FORWARD: Kevin Garnett vs. Lamar Odom. The Defensive Player of the Year, Garnett increased his offensive production in the conference finals, averaging 22.8 points in Boston's victory over Detroit. His intensity on both ends of the floor is what makes the Celtics go. The versatile Odom was inconsistent against San Antonio in the Western Conference finals, but rebounded from a poor Game 3 with strong performances in the last two games. Edge: Celtics.
SMALL FORWARD: Paul Pierce vs. Vladimir Radmanovic. Finally in the NBA finals in his 10th year with Boston, Pierce is set to face his hometown team. He has shown in the playoffs he can still be a potent scorer, notably in his 41-point effort to beat Cleveland in Game 7 of the second round, and has become an underrated defender. Radmanovic is a good perimeter shooter who doesn't do much else, and the Lakers need his jumper to be on to soften a Boston defense that held opponents to the lowest field goal percentage in the league. Edge: Celtics.
SHOOTING GUARD: Ray Allen vs. Kobe Bryant. Allen seemed to break out of his shooting slump in the final two games of the conference finals, averaging 23 points and going 8-of-14 from 3-point range. Bryant, a tenacious defender, will certainly welcome the challenge of trying to get that slump started again. And the league MVP has been at his best in the playoffs, averaging 31.9 points to lead all players in the postseason and shooting 52 percent. Edge: Lakers.
POINT GUARD: Rajon Rondo vs. Derek Fisher. Fisher had a fairly quiet series in the conference finals, but his postseason experience, solid defense and courage to take big shots remain a comfort to the Lakers even when his shot isn't falling. Rondo's poor jumper was especially off late in the last round, when he shot 10-of-35 in the final three games. The Lakers will make him beat them from the outside. Edge: Lakers.
RESERVES: James Posey, P.J. Brown, Sam Cassell, Eddie House, Leon Powe, Glen Davis and Tony Allen vs. Sasha Vujacic, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Ronny Turiaf, DJ Mbenga and Trevor Ariza. Posey won a title with Miami two years ago and is a key contributor who will help defend Bryant, but tough to figure out what else to expect from Celtics' reserves. Minutes greatly fluctuated along with their production for most of them during the postseason. The Lakers counter with a much younger bench that tries to increase the tempo and energy when Bryant is resting. Edge: Lakers.
COACHES: Doc Rivers vs. Phil Jackson. Rivers did a great job molding all the Celtics' new pieces into a 66-win team. But he's appeared to lose confidence in some of his role players during the postseason, creating some inconsistent rotations. Jackson, the career leader in postseason victories, did one of his best coaching jobs this season on a team that started with the turmoil surrounding a possible Bryant trade and was never expected to be here. He seeks a 10th title, which would break Red Auerbach's record. Edge: Lakers.

How long have you been watching basketball? LOL

you guys are blind to the fact 'cuz your laker fans.. but when a small like Tony parker who merely weighs about a buck 170 just so happens to send pau gasol flying don't you guys start to take note a lil bit?
my bball goes back to the days of hard nosed physical style defense of the 80s, and 90s where players had to earn there shit this game now is soft.
cedric ceballos used to be a neighbor of mine

LOL@acting like Gasol is some huge guy. Standing 7 feet tall, dude probably weighs the same as Tony Parker himself. LOL. Gasol is the type of defender who takes charges. Flopping and taking charges are two completely different things.

Kinda seems like a trend is starting to emerge here, If the Lakers are made out to be the villan here

Seeing that green in the crowd makes me remember the fact that I HATED the Celtics. Anyone growing up in Southern Cali in the 80's will tell you that beating the Celtics was the highlight of the year. I remember hating them, and not knowing why. But I know why now. They have what I want for my team, more titles than us, a coach with more rings than ours, players that have higher ranking than ours. In the 80's we finally for Magic, and he put a stamp for us in the top 5 of all time. But I want 17 before Boston, I want Phil to get 10 rings, and get 3 more as a Laker coach, and I want him to get this ring, number 10 to pass Red against his own beloved Celtics. I wish Red was alive to see this, and I would have loved to see Phil hand him a cigar as his broke his record. Phil did say that when he broke his record, he'd mail him a cigar, it would have been great to see it in person. To bad Shaq didn't join the Celtics... lmao... it would have even been better.

The moment we've all been waiting for is here!
-
yeaaa KG >>>>>gasol all day
go celtics!
-
Lakers have to run that Kobe-Pau pick n roll on the top of the key over and over again ..
-
Damn KG is on fire. Luckily so is Fisher. We gotta get Kobe goin.
-
Paul Pierce is a beast.
-
Okay so in the offseason Danny Ainge traded for Garnett & Allen and signed free agents James Posey, Eddie House, and Dick Bavetta!
-
yall niggas just faced some REAL ball. east coast style.
-
Gasol is fucking wack ..
-
We'll get the next one... we had a lot of good shots that rimmed in and out. We gotta take 1 and then we will have the next 3 on our court.
-
Paul Pierce is a beast.
hell yeah son

Gasol is so soft it is amazing. If this guy doesnt grow some balls the Lakers are going to be in trouble, the guy turns to jelly when he is under the basket, he is a pussy down low. I get pissed as a Pacer fan with all of JO's injurys because he gets hurt but at least it's because he plays like a beast and is aggressive and plays hard as fuck, Gasol plays like pansy down low. Pau should be ashamed w/ himself after just standing there under the basket and letting KG dunk that missed shot and clinch the win :-X

Gasol is a great addition for our offense .. but on D he's terrible at boxing out and keepin opponents off the boards ... Celtics offensive boards and terrible offense execution in the 2nd half are the reasons we lost .. we'll win Game 2 though .. Phil is the king of the adjustments .. not worried

Lakers are still going to win the series. I am not talking shit about Gasol because without him you guys wouldn't be here and his offensive game is obviously pivotal to the Lakers success but he needs to man up defensively and on the boards, this is the Finals, he looked pathetic tonight.

Playing in the Garden wasn't as bad as I thought. We definitely had lots of great moments tonight. It wasn't a Celtic domination by any means and I know they were sweating a few times throughout the game. I think we had a tougher time on Utah's court.
-
^^How am I to much? I said Lakers will win series and I said Gasol is horrible on the boards and defensively, nothing crazy said there.

GO CELTICS!
GASOL'S A PUSSY, SO IS ODOM MATCHED UP AGAINST K.G. he makes them look weak az fuck...
gasol relies on his long arms to get rebounds, players are starting to relize they can just muscle him around
this is the best Kobe has been defended these whole entire playoffs...
dam i loved watching cassell eat up D fish.. who was defending cassell the best he could tryin to bang into cassell

Gasol had his offensive moments in the game. The lead changed 12 or 13 times throughout the game. You all act like it was dominating.

i still think gasol shouldnt have gotten those foul calls when perkins kept on slapping the ball out of his hands early in the first half.. but you know what he does.. he screams ouch and he gets the calls..
was not complete domination it was a good game

KG is a PF too and isn't as soft as Gasol .. don't get me wrong I like his game but dude has to man up .. it's the NBA FINALS ... KG dunk putback was just TERRIBLE defense .. Pau should have fouled him HARD ..
-
was not complete domination it was a good game
it wasn't even a domination... yet that's more acceptable. It was a good game. Pierce coming back after that fall was a good emotional lift. But up until then the last of the 4th, it was still anybody's game.
-
Damn. :'( Kobe just disappeared in the second half.

C's are 11-1 at home in the playoffs
were like 35-6 at home or something like that

And also, remember. The "Boston Massacre."

Utah had a better home record than Boston... and they lost at home to us. It can happen...
-
Damn, this is gonna be a great series. I hope seven games.
-
lakers closed out utah on their home court.. at this level of play homecourt shouldnt even matter these teams should be adept at playing under pressure on somebody elses home floor
-
Ok. Celtics made an impressive effort on defence. For real, i'm impressed. They deserved to win. Let's keep the faith in Phil Jackson. He'll study Game-1.
-
No excuse
the team that played better won.
on to game #2
(This is why I always tell them "Jump to conclusion" fan's to reserve their victory speeches)

I think that they've emotionally shot their wad.... and Pierce's knee is going to swell like a muthafucka for the next few days. The Rocky moment was nice for game 1, but there are 7 games in this series.
-
I'm surprised no one mentioned the TERRIBLE officiating...Lakers will NOT win 5-on-8. Shit better be different in LA...That said, I'm not worried at all. We played like complete shit, got terrible calls down the stretch, and still had a chance to win. We're gunna win the next one in Boston, then the next 3 at home...PeACe

I am as hard on NBA officiating as anyone but I didn't see anything wrong w/ how the game was officiated.

agreed
-
i know they gave sasha vujachic love when he bricked that 3 pointer in the corner and he got the whistle on K.G. so he drew that foul went to the line and knocked down 3 ft's
then odom drove into the lane and bumped into a celtic on purpose and threw up a wild shot lol they gave him love on that 2
or how about d.fisher bumping into paul pierce's back when he wasnt even facing the basket on purpose?
-
Yeah the officiating wasnt biased at all, some Laker fans are just using it as a excuse but yeah the game was called fairly for sure.

Why is Doc Rivers so bad at coaching a basketball team? He's been doing it for a while. He REALLY has to play House instead of Cassell. Everybody knows that.

I am as hard on NBA officiating as anyone but I didn't see anything wrong w/ how the game was officiated.
It was just the old-ass Dick Bavetta who made horrible calls. On both sides of the floor. He's just old, he ain't the same one no more. That's why they gave him Game-1 and not Game-5, 6 or 7. He's still the most respected one, but he's done. Anyway we gotta keep it real: Celtics won not because of those calls, but because they played better than us.

I doubt some of you watched the game. House over Cassell? Good officiating? LMAO! Sorry, but the officiating heavily favored Boston in that game, and if you couldn't see that, you're blind. How 'bout that backcourt violation on KG? Gasol blocks KG clean and gets called for a foul? Odom's jersey grabbed, no whistle? Garnett travel? Gasol/Kobe hacked over the back numerous times? How many balls did Boston knock out of bounds only to be given back to them? What about that terrible touch foul on Rondo at half court that change the flow of the game?...you name it. I'm afraid to say it, but it looks like Detroit all over again. Hopefully, the officiating crew turns things around in Staples, but this was ridiculous. Now of course, Lakers couldn't make a shot towards the end, so I'm not blaming the refs as a cop-out. But the league is barely 12 months removed from a betting scandal and you'd have to be insane to not see that Boston was allowed to play aggressively, while the Lakers were getting called for ticky-tack fouls left and right. Do you wonder why Kobe wasn't driving it in to the hoop? This wasn't called a foul:

RONDO: 10 free throws on 10 field goal attempts
RAY ALLEN: 8 free throws on 13 field goal attempts
PIERCE: 7 free throws on 10 field goal attempts
KOBE: 6 free throws on 26 field goal attempts
Quite discouraging.

Cassell played pretty well. I don't know what's House's problem, but Cassell did a great job for them. And he even made what i consider the game-winning shot (a jumpshot with less than 2 minutes to play who emotionally destroyed us).

Yes, we coulda won had we played better...but you're kidding yourself if you don't think the atrocious officiating in the 2nd half swayed the flow of the game in Boston's favor.

Damn. :'( Kobe just disappeared in the second half.
Kobe did nothing in the 4th! Where was Kobe in 4th?!?!? I think he might've had one basket...dude pooped himself out in the 3rd.
KG is on a way different level than Odom and Gasol.

Kobe was getting hacked left and right...He's known for overcoming bad officiating, but this was just too much. There was even a sequence in the 4th quarter towards the end where Kobe just forced the ref to make a call in protest. He tried driving in on Posey and got hacked but the ref didn't blow the whistle. So instead of pulling up for a jumper, Kobe brought the ball back out to the three point line and tried the same drive again and that time the ref blew the whistle because it was quite obvious. Remember that play?

Hey, i'm a Laker fan. You don't have to be like that with me. I was as mad as you because of them mistakes. I mean it was a really bad officiating (exp. from Bavetta). But what i'm saying is a different thing: we lost because we shot 5/20 in the 4th Quarter, and the ball wasn't going in, for us. We should start from there to improve, if we wants to win Game-2. And i'm not worried, cause we have Phil and Kobe who i'm sure will fix our offensive problems. Every one of us still remember Game-1 vs the Nuggets, where it looked like they found a way to stop Kobe and our offence. Well... Kobe scored 49 the next game, and we destroyed them. It's still a long long run. Let's focus on our mistakes, not on the refs. Cause we can't improve the refs. But we can improve from our mistakes.
-
^I see what you're saying and I never like to blame the refs...I think ultimately, the Lakers coulda' won the game with or without the refs. But that doesn't mean that the refs didn't contribute to the lack of flow in our offense during the 4th quarter.
-
Its like a wise man once said: "if they're gonna set you up to lose, why try to win". We didn't have a chance last night. Kobe's shot wasn't falling and Boston was getting every fuckin touch call available.

They did. But it's like you said: they contribuited. It's not like they were the only reason. They probably wasn't even the main one. That's what i'm saying. It was the refs officiating really bad + Boston wonderful team defence + Pierce hitting them shots + Lakers shooting 5/20 and missing open shots + Gasol being wack under the boards + Cassell hitting that damn late jumper + KG making that dunk + Farmar not being able to play good enought to replace Fisher, etc..
-
Frustrating lost.....kobe needs to take better shots...be patient, run the offense...pau needs to get some fucking rebounds...lamar also needs to get some rebounds.......choking away our 5 point halftime lead in the 1st 20 seconds in the 3rd quarter was pathetic.........we didn't take advantage of PP's injury, we had a 4 point lead when he got hurt and allowed the celtics to go on a 8-0 run......we made some dumb fouls...(some were the refs fault but most of them were our fault).....and the dagger was that hustle play by garnett that led to a sam cassel jumpshot, they got a 5 point lead with that shot....if that would of been a backcourt violation we would of had a chance to cut the deficit to 1 point or tie the game......we need to get a fucking split..
-
I'm surprised no one mentioned the TERRIBLE officiating...Lakers will NOT win 5-on-8. Shit better be different in LA...That said, I'm not worried at all. We played like complete shit, got terrible calls down the stretch, and still had a chance to win. We're gunna win the next one in Boston, then the next 3 at home...PeACe
want some tissues?

It was an intense game to watch, the lead changed so many times. Great first game.

Yup...and that WAS a backcourt. No question.

Larry Bird chimes in...
while listening to the show full court press hosted by dee brown on sirius radio, larry legend said the following:
"Even though i want the celtics to win , i truly believe kobe was just feeling things out last night and shot poorly but, kobe will dominate & take over the rest of the finals".
bird's next interesting quote was:
"The nba asked me to do one promo which i did and i told them that i would not do anything else. while at the promo i told magic that we have to back off and become non visual so that the new guys can have their time."
-
looks like every Laker fan here is being real and just accepting that they were outplayed except for NIK, dude your bias is unreal, no offense but it is disgusting.

The refs didn't help on some important possessions but for some reason we just stopped moving the ball in the 2nd half .. you have to give Boston D some credit but their D isn't better than SAS one .. it seems like Boston wanted this win more than us energy wise .. of course you have the crowd factor but I didn't have the impression we played with the same passion as we did in Utah or SAS .. weird imo
-
Do you think the week we have of relax influenced our lack of passion? I mean it hurts, imho. Phisically you feel better, but you loose the "momentum", you know what i mean?

nahh i think the lack of passion of play was caused by the 9PM time of ball tip off which disrupted the chemistry of the team cuz there in bed by this time j/k
phil jackson complained about playing "SO LATE"
-
yeah i think the lakers extended rest deinatley hurt there momentum, because there was no doubting that heading into the finals the lakers where the team to beat and with the most momentum. i think the lakers can play alot lot better even tho they were beaten by 10. they were leading by 5 at the end of the half and if some things went there way could of most definatley stolen this match.
the positives for the lakers is that they had no "great" contributions from there own big three but they were still there and there abouts heading into the 4th. so if they can play badly and narrowley miss then when kobe goes off boston needs to watch out.
i like what bostons defence was doing tho, if you noticed they wernt double teaming kobe at the top of the three point line. the double only came when kobe was near to the baselines, pretty effective trapping defence which requires the offence players to cut from the three point line towards the basket. this was an effective tactic and one with which the lakers will have to try and adjust too. also from the lakers point of view no player by kobe was taking it consistentley to the basket especially odom. the lakers need far better rebounding (with which they WILL struggle) and more free throws.
-
So Gasol can dunk! :o

someone should tell the arena announcer to shut the hell up

so far the reffing is pretty bad for both teams

I'm not one to complain about bad efereeing unless it's really obvious.... but tonight it is. Every touch on the other end is a foul ....while they are allowed to hack, hold, push, shove and the refs withhold their whistles. even the announcers are throwing in their subtle hints about it.
-
Boston reached the line probably 6 out of 8 times down the floor to start the quarter
let alone Powe has 10x the free throws the whole Laker team has
the Lakers aren't playing great but they sure got taken out of a nice start by the refs this time

at this point we have to take the game out of the refs hands....

I don't give a fuck about a technical foul! All that means is you have to keep your mouth shut. Personal fouls directly effects your play.
Kobe & Fisher: 3 fouls a piece
Odom, Radmanovic, Ariza, Turiaf: 2 fouls a piece.
Powe: 9 free throw attempts. I see he's getting his "journey to the NBA" story at halftime. Yeah what a coincidence ::)
-
It is what it is..
Lakers have to stand up and make buckets.
19-2 (Free throws) at the Half suck's, but it is just too bad. (Fuck an excuse)
Celtics played aggressive defense all season long, that is why they get away with fouls. (they earned it)
Once the Laker's decide to play defense Celtics style, they are looked at as playing out of character
and it is deemed "Overly aggressive" hence all the Foul calls.
win the 2nd half, or this series changes from a comp to a L waiting to happen.
Go Lakers.

^^ You guys gotta be real on this one. For sure the refs had a big role in our defeats against the Celtics, and i admit this was been probably the worst officiating game i've seen this year. But we didn't play well enought to be in a position where we can bitch about the refs. We lacked pride, we lacked passion, we looked scared, we aren't even running triangle offence no more. We collapsed. Fuck it, man. It's the NBA Finals. You can't be a bitch like that. The refs are against you? It doesn't matter. If you loose it's still 0-2. Show some fucking pride! Shit the only one who looks mad right now (i mean i'm watching his face right now) is Kobe Bryant. He got a techical foul after a dribble to the basket where he did't even get fouled, so he was just showing his frustration to the world. Phil is calling time outs after time outs. When is the last time you've seen him calling two time outs in 1 minute? We're dead. wcsoldier is right: no pride at all, no concentration. And it can't be tolerated if we're talking about Game2 of the NBA Finals. People dreams about playing them. And now they looks intimidated by the refs and by the Boston Celtics fans. It looks like they ain't even realizing that loosing today means goodbye NBA title. Maybe they're too young and unexperienced, i don't know. Anyway we ain't getting a good contribution from Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom on this one. Gasol is being raped by KG. Shit, he's averaging less rebounds in this serie than Powe! How is it possible? And Odom simply disappeared. It's over, guys. We can blame only the refs, but it won't change the fact we didn't play like we could in a fucking NBA Finals. Which is pretty sad.

second half, yes
first half, no
they completely took the Lakers out of the game in the first half with the fouls
like Styles said, the last time the game was good until they fucked up the flow with foul calls was when BOS was leading 51-47
I specifically remember the game just being thrown away from there

I don't give a fuck. Radmanovic is playing some horrible defence. It has nothing to do with the refs. He's the one who made two straight defensive mistakes when Celtics scored two consecutive 3 pointers (Pierce and Allen) to give them a +8 lead (we never menthally recovered from that back-to-back 3pter). Gasol is being raped by KG! I mean everytime KG receives the ball, he makes a step and Gasol is beaten. How the fuck is it possible at this level? Odom is missing layups. Gasol is missing shots from under the basket. Radmanovic is hitting bricks on open shots..
They ain't even running triangle no more. There's no excuse about that. They ain't playing triangle!!
Ok, the refs were horrible, but we were horrible too. That's the truth.

well yeah... it's mental... when you are having a lopsided game like that being called against you it has that effect. a 48% percent game should be much closer.
man its only 11 points. the refs are being good the 2nd half, Lakers got plenty of time left to win. no need for excuses.
well...geez... NOW it's only 11 points. with 2 fuckin' minutes left in the game. I would hear your point if you were saying this with 8 minutes left. lol....
you cut it down to 2
C's still won 8)
vaporizer time

My heart cant take much more of this.

damn.. imagine this game with such a less disparity of calls...

wow i never seen kobe bryant shy away from a clutch- must make shot in the 4th.. when he saw kg he passed it up and gave it up to fish DOPE
stupid celtics, lost there composure playing careless in the last minutes of the 4th and almost gave the gave away..
props to the effort the lakers put in showed alotta heart
-
We played just 8 good minutes. And we almost won.
That's what i'm talking about. Fuck blaming the refs: let's blame ourself. We lost two close games because we didn't play 48 mins with the same menthal approach to the game.
I can't accept it.
-
down by 4 now
so the 20+ more free throws the Celtics got make no difference huh Hack?
give me a fuckin break
take off your yellow and purple sunglasses and step into reality son

While I do put a lot of the blame on the Lakers for not playing better basketball, there's no doubt in my mind that we'd be up 2-0 right now with better officiating. :-\

naw... it's easy to see what the difference in this game was.... even with that 8 minutes of play in the equation. even if we win or lose, these games will never compare to the 80's between these two teams...and I know because I watched them live and not on youtube. the games are being ruined like finding a turd in the punch bowl...

Yeah. Probably. But it's 100% certified we'd be up 2-0 playing more focused on the game.
There are two sides of it: from a fan prospective, fuck the refs and fuck the Celtics. From a non-fan/coach prospective, we played horrible basketball for 38 minutes.
You can choose the one you fit better in, but that's the truth: we'd be up 2-0 or at least 1-1 by now.
We didn't even play triangle offence, homie! Phil was desperated. We looked scared. And i know we're better than this.
-
I don't care...the amazing run towards the end shows how much we have on this team when we play our game. Unfortunately, the refs wouldn't let us play our game today, but I expect that to change at Staples. Lets take care of the next 3 at home, and then we only need to win 1 out of 2 in Boston. We still have a nice chance. we're the better team...PeACe

Bad officiating takes your focus out of the game. Terrible officiating does it to an even greater extent. What don't you get about that? We have no chance 5-on-8. That's all it comes down to...

I know. But it's the NBA Finals. I wanted my Lakers to fight back and try to win no matter what. We did it. I appreciated it.
But that means we could have done it before. You know what i mean?
We played 8 fucking awesome minutes no matter what. No matter the refs were destroying us.
We showed some balls.
The problem is we played 38 minutes without showing balls before the late run.
Next game in L.A. will be different.
But i want my team to show some balls and play like those 8 mins next time (hopefully) we will play in Boston.
Playing there is already an inferno. If the refs are going against you it's even worst. But that's where you gotta step up and show some prime.
We did.
Too late.
Next time i want my guys to show the Celtics who we are.
I want us to execute better on offence.
I want us to play triangle offence.
I want us to show them the team who dominated the WC playoff.
And i want us to take a 3-2 lead and come back to Boston to win the title there.
Only Magic's Lakers did it.
And it was something remembered for ages.
If we want to win this title we gotta realize we need something like that. Something for the ages. We need to make history.
Blaming the refs won't make us win the ring anyway.
Let's try it.

That is a spot that Ariza was doing a good job at before his injury, and now he is still working back into the rotation. Good game, I'm glad the Lakers made it close, but I don't like having Sasha in there at the end to take that 3, you know he is too selfish with the ball, and in the clutch you have to give it to Kobe. That was a poor possession. However, Game 3 coming to Staples should be a good one, I expect the Lakers to bounce back.

It was a quote from another thread referencing the game deciding missed call in San Antonio that put the Lakers up 3-1. I'm just curious where this sentiment has disappeared to now that the shoe is on the other foot (not in reality, but in the perception of the majority of the Laker fans here).

well.... I can see why you would use that as an "shoe-on-the-other-foot" argument, but we are not talking about a call here with 2 seconds. this was a through-out the game thing.

Naw man, it was really HORRIBLE and you can't compare those 2 games with the SAS-LAL one. In that one the refs made a controversial (non) call at the end. In this one they killed us from the first minute. It's different.
-
That said, Phil Jackson does agree with me.
"I kept telling the team, we played as poorly as we could possibly play for two and a half quarters,'' said Lakers coach Phil Jackson after Boston won 108-102 Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the Finals. "We just can't play any worse than this.''
-
Shit has hit the fan now..
Laker's either win 3 in a row, or back to Boston and wait for it....
L.A. has no fire to win, letting this team (Boston) beat them with journeymen player's. (Posey, Cassell & Powe)
If the Lakers want to win, they sure have not showed it besides playing 7 good minutes last night.
Game 1 & 2 were the worst games the L's have played all season.
either take it to the hole, or pass it to someone that will.
fuck the "calls" that's just an excuse, Win or go home.
(If Boston wins this at Staples, it would be a slap in the FUCKEN face...)
The Laker's I seen all this season, should not lose to this Boston team.
I don't know who the fuck those dude's in Purple & Gold out there are?
8) good I feel better now!
-
The Lakers defense was amazingly bad at times. The one time when Powe's big ass drove to the rim like he was LeBron James on a fast break, and 3-4 Lakers standing there doing virutally nothing was just crazy. At first I thought the whistle was already blown for something off-ball and he just went to make the basket for fun or he didn't hear it - that's how passive the Laker defense looked there.

Sorry, Turf...but you're using the quote in the completely wrong context. Playoff basketball is not about officiating on only one side of the court to a noticeable extent. 38 free throws to 10, Turf. 38-10. I'm not buying it.

Well, that part of the game was just weird. But the Celtics have a good defense, it was probably a mix of "losing intensity because you think it's 2-0 and already think about Game 3" and flat out choking. Boston is no uber-team. It's still their first season together.

LOL quit fuckin crying. This shit is no different than what teams have been saying when they play the Lakers throughout the years. The shoe is on the other foot now and you can't fuckin handle it. I watched the game, but I have to admit I wasnt watching with a pair of Lakervision goggles on. Thats why I can still be rational about it. You on the other hand, are a straight up Laker FANATIC and you're going off the deep end about this shit. Bye, kettle. Hope you get that black off you someday.
edit: regarding free throw disparities, what Laker fan was crying about the refs when they were handed 25 free throws in game 6 of the 02 WCF?

Homecourt advantage! lol.

yes they should let them play ball... in other words, put the whistle away
I don't like watching the WNBA
and lol at anyone still trying to compare yesterday's game to any game the Lakers have played in in the last 8 years
for people to think a majority of those were actually fouls, they must really be into some pussy basketball

D.Stern feels sorry for 3LW so he's trying to hand them a championship before the Lakers take over the next 5 years, ain't nobody fucking with us with Bynum in the Line-up..
It's going to be hard to comeback but i think we could do it...

you're not getting it. IF the calls/non calls are as bad as you say they are, then you're not going through anything different than Laker opponents have been dealing with for a long time. The Lakers have been getting the benefits of these types of situations for years, even as recent as the earlier rounds of the playoffs THIS YEAR. I'm not saying I agree with bad officiating or that its ok. What I'm saying is that any Laker fan not willing to relinquish at least two of those Shaq era titles has nothing to bitch and complain about because there were several lopsided officiated games that essentially handed them titles. What is happening is you guys are getting a slight taste of what other teams have been dealing with when facing the Lakers in the playoffs for a long time. Its funny that the Laker fans have a problem with officiating ONLY when the calls don't go their way. When the bad calls go the Lakers way there are no whining Laker fans to be found, but when its the other way around its the biggest travesty in the history of sports. If you're gonna embrace it when it goes your way, you need to embrrace it when it doesn't. A little consistency is all I ask.
-
^ lol dude you're an idiot
so as Laker fan I HAVE to admit that their titles are tainted because of calls?
what calls are you talking about? I can't think of anything to other than when the Kings complained
and in that game the Lakers had favorable free throw attempts, but the Kings weren't too shabby either
there's no excuse for 38-10 in a Finals game, especially when they are obviously not fouls
this has nothing to do with whatever calls were made for the team I like in the past
you're just reaching out of your ass for justification of a shitty called game because you don't like the Lakers
and the point I'm coming from is AS A BASKETBALL FAn... mostly because I have money on the series and it's retarded for fouls to be exaggerated
a little consistency is all you ask? you crack me up.... you're just a hater.... trying to bring other years into this argument
I've never seen a game recently that was as lame as Game 2 yesterday, has nothing to do with what team I like

Maybe I'm throwing too much at one time for you to soak it all in. I'll take this one thing at a time for you.
1. If you have a problem with the calls yesterday, you need to have a problem with the calls in years past that resulted in Laker titles/other teams wrongful playoff eliminations.
2. Just off the top of my head, there were several phantom fouls called on Portland in the 2000 WCF and it was even so lopsided for the Lakers vs the Kings in 2002, there was an instance where Kobe elbowed Bibby in the face and a foul was actually called on Bibby. There are more examples than those though, and far more than we have time to go into here. I'm not justifying the officiating. What I'm telling you is this shit goes both ways, but you don't complain when its the Lakers on the receiving end and the other team getting the short end of the stick.
3. But there is an excuse for the Lakers shooting 25 free throws in ONE QUARTER in game 6 vs the Kings?
4. It has everything to do with it. Nobody complains when the Lakers get the calls, but its a problem all of a sudden now because the Lakers get screwed (or so all the Laker fans are saying) for once. What Laker fans were bitching when they were holding up those trophies? None. Do you see where I'm going with this yet? I don't know how to be much more clear.
5. Wrong. I don't give a shit about the Lakers or the Celtics. I don't dislike them, I don't care about them
6. This further illustrates how biased you are about the series. Not only are you a fan of the losing team, but you also have money on them. Thank you for helping me make my point.

I STILL THINK THE LAKERS COULD TAKE A 3-2 LEAD THE NEXT THREE HOME GAMES, ITS ALL HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE! BUT THE WAY THEY BEEN PLAYIN ON BOSTON MAKES ME WONDER THE FINAL RESULT.. CELTICS ARE A VERY GOOD TEAM AND THEY HAVE PROVED IT.. BUT IMA BE HONEST IF LAKERS LOOSE ONE AT HOME THATS IT! I AINT GOT NO MORE HOPE... BUT IF THEY TIE AND COME UP 3-2 AND GO TO BOSTON THERES STILL A CHANCE FOR THAT RING! 8)
-
Yes we're more than likely going to take a 3-2 lead but thats not the point. I've been watching basketball faithfully since 96 and I have NEVER seen home court advantage mean so much. Its like the refs are blatantly saying 'ok the home team is going to get away with murder and the road team will get screwed'. Last nights game was an insult to NBA fans. Not just Lakers fans but to any real NBA fan. The refs handed Boston that game on a silver platter.
Leon fuckin Powe with 13 free-throw attempts. What kinda shiet is that? Atleast in 06 they gave all the calls to a superstar.
-
Yeah, those damn Shaq led teams with their free-throw advantage.... and with Shaq knocking down all of those swishers from the foul line (especially since he was the most fouled). :)

LOL...Turf Hitta is seriously dumber than I though. This sums up his whole way of hater thinking VVV
What is happening is you guys are getting a slight taste of what other teams have been dealing with when facing the Lakers in the playoffs for a long time.
LOL! This muthafucka said slight taste. There's no fuckin chance in hell he watched last nights game. :-\

Yeah. If only the Kings or Blazers would've fouled Shaq intentionally to send him to the free-throw line they probably would've beaten us right?
-
You guys just don't get it...

You guys just don't get it...
Yea, we get it.. You're a major Laker hater and you simply can't admit that this is the worst case of lopsided officiating in recent memory.

OK, call it a big taste then. the point still stands that none of you idiots were complaining when it resulted in Laker rings. Now you fuckheads are running arouns screaming "CONSPIRACY!!!" get the fuck over it. you've benefited from this exact same type of thing, so miss me with this conspiracy bullshit. If you have a problem with it now, then you need to have had a problem with it then in order for you to have an ounce of credibility on the topic.
-
A majority of the bad calls in the Kings series were questionable, not BLATANT. Learn the difference.

I see we have another idiot who needs to take a basic reading & comprehension course. I could give a vast array of fucks about the Lakers. I don't feel one way or the other about them. I have no problem at all with the Lakers. What I have a problem with is you guys getting all worked up about it when your team has rings because of the same type of shit. I'm not debating whether or not the officiating was as bad as you say.
-

LOL not blatant if youre a laker homer in every sense of the word I guess...
-
If you think it's comparable, you obviously didn't watch every single game of every single Laker playoff series in the past 10 years, as I did. The league has never been as blatant in their lopsided officiating as they have in this series. Who knows, maybe they want this series to go to 7 and the Lakers will get a majority of the calls in the next three games at Staples...You see, the question at hand isn't "what happened in the Kings series 6 years back?"...it's "what the fuck is going on NOW?"As of today, the NBA officiating is worse than it's ever been. The Lakers suffered the most brutal officiating in NBA Finals history last night...The fact that you came in here and claimed you didn't see it right off the bat just goes to show what a biased hater you are. If you don't get that, perhaps it's YOU who needs to take a basic reading & comprehension course. :-*
P.S...The Kings series had bad calls going both ways. The blatantly biased officiating in last nights game is not comparable to ANYTHING...The closest is the D-Whistle conspiracy in '06, but that's about it.. And this is STILL the most disgustingly fishy refereeing I've ever seen. EVER.

*recalls LA shooting 27 freethrows in the 4th qtr of Game 6 against Kings in 2002*
Justice. Sweet justice. It feels so good. LOL @ LA fans finally getting a taste of the referee prison rape

^ Game 6 ... Lakers vs. Kings ... 2002
http://www.nba.com/games/20020531/SACLAL/boxscore.html
^ Lakers +15 FTA
Celtics +28 FTA is a little ridiculous
I can understand +10, +15, even +20, but +28? Celtic defense is good, but not that good.
-
^Yea...and once you put Hack-a-Shaq into the equation, the fact that these haters are bringing up past games which were poorly officiated is pathetic. Lets focus on the now. NBA officiating has never been this blatantly one sided. And it's not only to those who watched the game...Even the numbers prove it on a much higher scale than ever before.

Was it ridiculous in Game 2 vs Utah this year when LA had +27 fts? Where were all the Laker fans bitching about it then?

^ I haven't looked at any stats.... but did Utah get more than 10 free throws in that game?

they got 16 FTAs, but +27 is +27 no matter what angle you look at it from.

I still think we're gonna win this series.

celtics > lakers
that is all

I still think we're gonna win this series.
Let's worry about the Lakers winning one game before we think about them winning the series.
-
to quote wut i said in the other topic...
we dont care that they gave powe all those foul calls (even if a shit load of them were ticky tacky), we care that they didnt allow contact when we were on defense, yet DID allow contact when they were on defense. before our last second comeback when we popped off 3's like crazy, damn near all we were doing was taking it inside, we just couldnt get a call worth shit.
i dunno if you watched the game or not, but there was a point in the game where literally all three of the ABC commentators were pointing out the refs bullshit for not giving the lakers any foul calls, including van gundy, who doesnt even care about the lakers.
-
if they would have gotten 10 .... any fan of theirs would have had a right to complain. and if they had, would Turf Hitta be complaining about them complaining about it?
LOL so now there's a minimum free throw requirement before you can bitch and moan about a 27 FT discrepancy? How convenient for Laker fans LMAO.

you can choose to look at it like that if you wish.... but yeah... that is a horribly low number. 10 or below in physical games like this, and you know some bullshit is going on - no matter the team. But it probably has to be a Laker game or a Laker fan to get your attention. No? 8)

boo fuckin hoo. a very good chunk of that shit was the right call, some were missed calls. sure woulda been nice if that clip wasn't obviously made by a Laker fan. maybe then we could see the calls they missed that helped the Lakers too. And about that T on Kobe, I've seen players get em for a lot less than that. I remember an instance in 2000 where Rasheed got a T for looking at the ref. Wasn't staring him down or talkin or anything, he just looked at him and smiled.

Man you're pathetic. Shut the fuck up. I'm the fist one in this board who blamed how the Lakers played more than the refs, but for real, stop it cause you look pathetic. The officiating was HORRIBLE and ONE-SIDED from the first minute to the last, and if you deny it you're just a dickhead making fun of yourself. Be real.

It was pretty late last night when I wrote that, but that was just me questioning whether we would even be having this discussion with you if it wasn't a Laker game or Laker fans complaining. If Utah fans were complaining about lack of calls, I really doubt that you would be trying to argue any of what you are saying now, against them.
I know you've stated previously that you have no preferences for or against, but I do doubt it. Now that's just how I am seeing it, that's all.

Well, to be honest, I don't know any Jazz fans in real life or on the net, so probably not. I will say that I hate Utah and they are historically a very dirty, chippy team (follow me on this one - the lakers have a reputation of disproportionately getting the benefit of bad calls). If the jazz were complaining about their opposition playing dirty and chippy, yes, I would have a problem with that (in the same way that there is something wrong with laker fans complaining about bad calls after years of getting the benfits of bad calls). I'm not sure if thats clear or not, but I hope so cause this topic is getting really fuckin old already lol.

I ain't blaming it on the refs, just read my posts. But still the refs were horrible and one-sided for 48 mins. And even if maybe they were pro-Lakers before (vs Kings, etc..), in those two games they was been anti-Lakers. It's as simple as that. I dunno why are you complaining. You're admitting they were anti-Lakers but you are justifying it by saying in the past they helped us? That's not a good excuse at all. Refs should be neutral. Expecially in the NBA Finals. That's the point. And they weren't in Game-1 and Game-2.
-
We are saying that it is normal in the NBA for refs to be told to help certain teams in order to make a series as a whole much more interesting etc.
Some of yall niggas make it look like the NBA is out to get the Lakers or something.. when in reality, they just want an interesting series
NBA refs are not always neutral... this has been known for a while. Some players get treated different than others and it's seen as something completely normal. The "superstar"-bonus is regarded as something semi-official and normal. The fact that white bigs rarely get calls for them is something normal. I could go on.
Our point is not that the officiating in Game 2 was 100% on point, our point is that it's a common thing in the NBA, and while in Game 2 the refs called in favor of Boston, there were more lopsided games in the past that favored the Lakers. So it's on some bullshit to go out on a riot over this.
The Lakers can't lose Game 3. Just watch and see.

Well, to be honest, I don't know any Jazz fans in real life or on the net, so probably not. I will say that I hate Utah and they are historically a very dirty, chippy team (follow me on this one - the lakers have a reputation of disproportionately getting the benefit of bad calls). If the jazz were complaining about their opposition playing dirty and chippy, yes, I would have a problem with that (in the same way that there is something wrong with laker fans complaining about bad calls after years of getting the benfits of bad calls). I'm not sure if thats clear or not, but I hope so cause this topic is getting really fuckin old already lol.
Ok. I can hear that. But I think that the main point that you are missing overall (at least maybe from myself) is not that the other team is getting more calls. My point was the 10 ..... And that's not even being called out by just Laker fans. Writers and commentators all over have called it bad officiating. Have we had more trips to the line then others in past games? Certainly... but I don't think any of those teams have been disrespected with just 10 shots. That is an extremely low number...
So now we are both clear.... and now it's time for Game 3.

and Hack... TV Guide don't count! Neither does your Spiderman collection and Dr. Seuss books... I'll let you slide with Mad Magazine though because of their often tongue-in-cheek wit. 8)
I would wish you good luck on the game tonight, but I really don't... plus you guys have leprechauns and clover leafs..
peace...

Ex-referee Tim Donaghy blows whistle on NBA dirty secrets
By JOHN MARZULLI
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Tuesday, June 10th 2008, 4:10 PM
Ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy told the feds two refs fixed the outcome of one playoff series - and that officials were told not to eject star players from games for fear of hurting ticket sales.
The bombshell allegations are contained in a court document filed Tuesday by Donaghy's lawyer. It describes the “inner workings" of the NBA in which top league executives used referees to manipulate games.
Donaghy, who pleaded guilty in Brooklyn Federal Court to charges of betting on games he officiated, told FBI agents “league officials would tell referees that they should withhold calling technical fouls on certain star players because doing so hurt ticket sales and television ratings," the document said.
Donaghy claims he was told that two refs who were “company men” acting in the interest of the NBA conspired to extend a playoff series in 2002 to a seventh game.
The referees allegedly ignored flagrant fouls committed by the team that needed to win. They also reportedly called "made-up fouls" against the other team which led to the ejection of two of their players. The team favored by the refs won that night and the next game to win the series.
The document does not name the teams. The Nets were in that playoff series, losing the championship finals to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Donaghy also claimed a supervising referee told refs that an unidentified NBA executive did not want them to call technical fouls on star players or boot them from the game.
Donaghy told feds the league reprimanded a referee who disobeyed that edict in January 2000 and ejected an unnamed star player from a game in the first quarter.
Lawyer John Lauro filed the four-page letter to Federal Judge Carol Amon because none of the information was included in the government’s letter to the judge seeking leniency for Donaghy when he is sentenced next month.
Lauro has gone to war against Brooklyn federal prosecutors for offering plea deals to Donaghy's betting accomplices that give them less time than the disgraced ref, despite his extensive cooperation.
Donaghy claims referees have accepted autographs, free merchandise and meals from team coaches and managers. He told probers one referee used a team's practice facility to exercise and another played tennis with an NBA coach.
"These activities were against NBA rules, indeed, such inappropriate relationships could influence the outcome of games," Lauro wrote.
Lauro said he withheld the names of the teams, referees and league officials because the feds may still investigate the allegations.
Anybody wanna guess the ONLY series in 2002 to go to 7 games? Now tell me the Lakers never got any rings off of bad calls.
-
WOW!!! already starting off to a bad note JAY-Z intro music @ Staples in L.A. :-X
.....and they wonder why the west HH has fallen off.

^I didn't want to rub it into their faces like that. That Lakers-Kings shit was insane, especially Game 6, everybody knows that. Ask ANY non-Laker fan who knows anything about the NBA. Just like everybody knows about Wade being literally untouchable for a good portion of the '06 finals. Everybody knows it. Cuban even stared Stern down after Game 5 I think. He went near his seat and stared him down, while being full of hate. IT IS NOTHING NEW FELLAS!!! YES, Boston can't complain about the refs so far, but that was to be expected. The Lakers are the favorites and if they win one of the earlier games in Boston the series is too short and not interesting enough. If you know the NBA and how it manages the officiating, you shouldn't be surprised at all. Just like you shouldn't be when Kobe goes to the line 20 times tonight.
-
so how does it feel Laker fans to get all the calls?
your teams only up at 6 at halftime, watch out for Garnett and PP if they got their games on
-
LMAO. Now yall niggas get your FTs and you just don't make 'em! Hilarious. Kobe Bryant 12 attempts and counting.

Yeah thats why I don't want to hear Laker fans bitch and moan because everyone knows the WCF series between the Lakers and Kings WAS THE WORST OFFICIATING IN SPORTS HISTORY. Any non Laker fan will tell you, you would have to be a complete idiot to think otherwise, it was so obviously rigged, I cant remember if it were game 6 or 7 but there was one quarter in one of those games where the Lakers had 27 free throws, in one quarter lmao! Remember after that series even the great Magic Johnson on TNT said the Kinds were the better team. The Kings got screwed out of a title that year and the Lakers got it handed to them, only a biased Laker fan would say otherwise. That is why I dont want to hear Laker fans cry about what is going on now when they sure enjoyed the rigged NBA helping them beat the Kings.
-
^^^No you dont understand. Its ok when the Lakers get the bullshit calls, but its a travesty if the bullshit calls go against em. This is an outrage!!! The Lakers are supposed to have the title handed to them EVERY YEAR. Anything less means the NBA is bullshit!!! DAVID STERN IS COMING TO GET ME!!!

there you go Turf... now's your chance to step up :)
-
yeyeye baby 8) time for a beer
-
It was the Kobe Bryant show.... 2 - 1 .... then it will be 2 - 2
-
Thank God for Sasha Vujacic. Otherwise Kobe would've been out there by himself tonight. If we're gonna win this series Odom and Gasol better wake the fuck up.
-
tha machine finally came thru
now pau and lamar gotta do sumthin
-
we're coming back .....mark my words.
-
uh oh...it got silent in here....
-
the celtics had to throw them a bone
-
the celtics had to throw them a bone
the only bone that was given was when Kobe stuck it to the Celts.... 8)
-
fuck that
we the refs threw the celtics 2 bones in boston
-
That's how we do it...see what happens when the refs play it fair? (even though there were still some horrible calls in this game, but nothing compared to the first 2). We still need Gasol and Odom to man up, though. Shit is getting strange with them.
As for the Lakers-Kings series in '02...there mighta' been some bad calls in that series and nobody said that's okay. But the Lakers were a great team and nobody handed them shit. Come on, now. Why even bring that up? Is this an excuse to tolerate obviously bias officiating? Anyone has the right to get mad when their team is screwed. Kings fans have the right to be mad and so do Laker fans. The refs are never the cause of a loss, but they sure as hell can HELP create one...Lakers, in this Kobe era, have been screwed by the refs left and right...I guess you guys are forgetting that Donaghy also admitted to last years Lakers-Suns series being rigged. Lakers played much better in the pivitol Game 4, but still lost by eight. Threepeat era is over, and Lakers were one of the most amazing teams back then...whether the refs helped LA in the Kings series has nothing to do with whether or not the current situation is Lakers getting screwed at every turn...PeACe
-
why is Odom such a pussy?
this is crunch time, defining careers, and you don't show up?
Lakers still got a long way to go, need to chip away at it
2 more at home or it's over, no way they're winning 2 in Boston
-
2 more at home or it's over, no way they're winning 2 in Boston
We can definitely win 2 at Boston if we play our game.
-
The problem with Odom and Gasol is that they play great when the offense is running smoothly. Neither of them are too good at creating their own shot, so when the team is playing bad and they need to get things going, they tend to disappear and when they try to step it up they force it too much. This results in Odom's wild layups.
-
If the Lakers win the next 2, then I think they'll win game 6 because of momentum. They lost some after the break before the finals.

I dunno, man... Odom and Gasol both missed some point blank lay-ups. I think it's more mental than anything.
-
Gasol is just too soft inside, and his behavior seems to have only been getting worse since he first got traded. He is a good player, with some great skills for a big man, but the tough defense, mind games, all seem to get to him, and he goes down to the ground very easily. He needs to attack the basket, that's how you break the defense down, and that's how you get the foul calls.
Overall, that was an alright game, it was good that it was close to the end, but other than Kobe and Ray Allen and a few bench players, there was a lot of weak performances. Some of this was because of good defense, but also a lot of mental mistakes and bad shots.
-
Laker fans, see what happens when you're aggressive and attack the basket? This is how you are supposed to play in the NBA Finals. Nice win tonight. And you did it without Tim Donaghey and everything!
-
boston is taking the next one, kg and pp hardly scored anything between them
-
Lol@Boston going to double Bryant like 50 feet away from the basket while leaving on fire ass Vujacic open. Then they rethink and don't double Bryant at all for the remainder of the game..
If Garnett doesn't step his offense up he should be scratched off of anybody's GOAT-list
Odom and Gasol really are soft.
-
Laker fans, see what happens when you're aggressive and attack the basket?
What? That Celtics defence isn't as good as you guys portrayed it?
-
the celtics had to throw them a bone
we wanted to let LA feel it was still a series.
-
It would've been a blow out if the refs would've actually called Perkins and Garnett for those bear-hug screens.

I'm talking about their games in general as oppose to Game 3.
-
Gasol is very soft mentally wise .. dude used to and has the skills to create his own shot .. actually he got a lot of post moves but through the regular reason , he has just started to rely more and more on Kobe creating for him .. as a team we still dont have find our groove offensive wise .. of course I still believe we can win it but after watching the 1st 3 games.. from an objective point of view , Im not confident

When we're allowed to play aggressive, we play aggressive...That's what it comes down to.

Well...You SHOULD be confident, considering we played such a shitty game and still won. If we bring our A-game, ther's NO WAY the Celtics can stop us.
-
This game should allowed both teams to still have confidence, because neither one of them played close to their best game. Only a few players had really solid games, everyone else suffered from an off-night, nerves, and the tougher defense that comes with a championship series. Boston fans can say "We almost pulled it off even though KG and Paul Pierce had horrible nights" and Laker fans can say "We got the first win even though Kobe was our only starter in double digits". Looking forward to Game 4, I think it will be a better played game from both teams, and should be close like all the other games have been.

the Lakers got the game handed to them and won by 6
the C's had bad games by KG and PP and still lost by only 6
nigga Boston > LA
-
^What's your point? Odom and Gasol both were non-factors, and we STILL won. You should be VERY scared.
-
^^Thanks to both of you for proving my point. Neither team played great, so there's optimism that they will play better on Thursday. Fact is, these teams are pretty closely matched and it should be another close game.
-
lakers are coming back. mark my words.

O and G are both soft as fuck too

And Garnett isn't soft with his 20+ foot jumpshots? LOL...Give me a break.

KG is the best player on the court when both teams play
not "West coast D-Wade" who hasn't won a title since the NBA handed his team one in 2002 ;)

What? That Celtics defence isn't as good as you guys portrayed it?
as who portrayed it? I've been saying their defense is overrated since the regular season. The reason teams score less against Boston is primarily because they eat up so much clock getting into their offensive sets, and a little bit to do with their defense.
-

Garnett and Pierce weren't exactly on their games either.

Can't believe it.

hahahahaha.
how about "clutch" kobe tonight.
6-19 FG, 17 PTS.
-
What can I say ? Gasol is the worst defensive anchor I've ever seen , Phil should have put all these shooters WAY earlier to space the floor and Kobe choked once again in the Finals .. I'd have prefered to have Bynum than Gasol .. Drew is just breaking the hoop not these soft ass layups and he's a beast at contesting shots .. while this last layup by RayRay is the worst defensive rotation I've ever seen in the clutch ...
-
i think the Lakers have too many foreign players, they're kinda soft
-
hahahahaha.
how about "clutch" kobe tonight.
6-19 FG, 17 PTS.
Yeah, but they talking shit about LeBron "choking" the game away when he gets 44 points. Kobe is no MJ
It's evident, as crystal as ever.
Fuckin ass Kobe! Odom and Gasol are both killin it and this nigga comes in crankin up dumb shot after dumb shot. Nice goin Soulja Boy Bryant!
Still the same old ball hog. It's less clear cause his supporting cast is much better, but deep down inside he still wants to be one who gets the on-court interviews after the game, and he's too old to lose that trait. At the end of the day, Kobe will be Kobe and if he's defended well enough that is not always a good thing.
------------------------------------------
Well, I have missed most of the third quarter (me turning it off was no joke), so I can't comment on the SICK comeback (or the SICK choking, whatever perspective you wanna use) just yet. But I will definitely watch it tomorrow.
Anyways, if LA can't win this with a huge lead at half-time and 2 players of Boston's starting 5 out with injury, I see no chance of them coming back and winning 3 games in a row and 2 of them in Boston. This series is over.
Oh, and Kobe really couldn't complain about offensive production from his teammates tonight. He just wasn't that nigga.
The greatest agony for LeBron haters must be that the nigga got Boston to 7 games while dropping 40+ on them in Game 7, while Kobe and his waaaaay better supporting cast might be done after 5 games. Sad.
-

real shiet my nicca. kobe is a flop in the finals when he's the main guy.its obvious now, he aint shiet without shaq. none of these lakers groupies can cry about bad supportin cast now cuz they stole gasol and still lost. all of a sudden these niccas is gonna say they needed bynum. that just proves kobe cant carry a team, he needs three 7 footers to win a title? so much for sayin he's the next jordan, jordan was the man in the finals all his career, no excuses.
-
In my best Bill Walton Impression "Worst Choke in NBA history"
Congrat's Boston, this is no longer a series.
Throw it in boy's it's over, win on Sun.
To avoid the Staples victory, but you blew it.
Got to take the good with the bad, I'll ride with the Lakers.
But tonight's game was a cocktease of a game. "Bitch is walking home if she ain't putting out"
-
For those of you talkin shit about Kobe, you OBVIOUSLY didn't watch the game. The DEFENSE is what lost it. Gasol was soft on both offense and defense in the 2nd half, and Odom went away from what he did in the 1st quarter. Shit is PATHETIC. We played extremely whack as a team in that 2nd half and Kobe couldn't bail us out all by himself the way he did in Game 3...especially not when Pierce and Garnett are hitting their shots...This game disgusted me, I wanna throw up.
We have to go in Sunday with the right mentality...with the mindset of keeping the Celtics from winning the title on our home court. If we win Sunday, I still think theres good chance we can win Tuesday, and then...Game 7. Who knows? Keep hope Laker fans.
A win tonight woulda' given us the advantage momentum wise in the series, and no doubt we woulda went up 3-2 after Sunday, with 2 chances to close it out in Boston...FUCKIN PIECE OF FUCKIN SHIT!!!! :puke:

Yo Nik, Kobe took (and missed) some very difficult shots on his own that weren't necessary. Of course Gasol blows on defense, everybody knows that.

At the press conference he said he wanted to keep a body in front of KG to box out for the rebound, lmao!

When the offense is stagnant and nobody is moving, Kobe is forced into taking difficult bail-out shots. Gasol and Odom played amazing to start and disappeared in the second half. Gasol held his own on defense at times, but when it came to help defense, he was nowhere to be found. Lakers shoulda' won this game and it should currently be 2-2. Fucking devastating.
-
For those of you talkin shit about Kobe, you OBVIOUSLY didn't watch the game. The DEFENSE is what lost it. Gasol was soft on both offense and defense in the 2nd half, and Odom went away from what he did in the 1st quarter. Shit is PATHETIC. We played extremely whack as a team in that 2nd half and Kobe couldn't bail us out all by himself the way he did in Game 3...especially not when Pierce and Garnett are hitting their shots...This game disgusted me, I wanna throw up.
We have to go in Sunday with the right mentality...with the mindset of keeping the Celtics from winning the title on our home court. If we win Sunday, I still think theres good chance we can win Tuesday, and then...Game 7. Who knows? Keep hope Laker fans.
A win tonight woulda' given us the advantage momentum wise in the series, and no doubt we woulda went up 3-2 after Sunday, with 2 chances to close it out in Boston...FUCKIN PIECE OF FUCKIN SHIT!!!! :puke:
3-1..no team ever come back from that that i can think of...
That only make me more eager to see it happen...and hopefully makes the Lakers more hungry to do it.

i say its all a matter of will we beat you guys in LA or will it take til game 6 in Boston?
we got H.C. for a reason

oh yeah, 1 win away from it being over
would be nice if boston could finish this shit out in LA
how does it feel when your teams getting fucked? :laugh:

fuckin Lakers
that what I get bettin money on them
they don't deserve the title the way they blew that shit tonight ::)
-
I'm fuckin disgusted... They have no one to blame but themselves.
-
^^Are you going to change your user name?
-
the celtics are takin it on sunday, i thought it would be a sweep, but atleast the lakers won one game. 8) Lets put it in perspective, kobe choked, gasol and odom are crap, the machine couldnt buy a shot and to top it off, the celtics were playing like crap for most of the game; kobe will never come close to MJ EVER!!!
-
so the lakers blew the game?? i chalk it up to doc rivers and his coaching staff making the necessary defensive adjustments in the 2nd half.... what an awsome game 2 records were broken today
im glad sasha vujachic got exposed on defense, ray allen waved off KG for the screen and was like man lemme eat this dude up lol
if it where not for those long arms gasol would be worthless....
my hats off to kobe though without him, that lead wouldnt of ballooned to 24 pts in the 1st half doing his damage as a facilitator.. that and the fact that KG picked up 2 quick fouls in the first quarter
-
Kobe is no MJ
-
I loved the shot when Sasha Boran Cohen flipped out on the bench.
-
Wow..........I kicked myself for turning off the telly when I found out the score. Caught the replay though, 8)
-
In the last 12 hours i've had to answer so many fuckin Celtics groupies, fuck this shit and fuck Boston
-

Me too
This is the guy they gave the MVP too
So Kobe just can't show up in the clutch can he
Paul Pierce owned that nigga
Blah blah blah. I've heard it all.
-
The dudes hating on Kobe are pricless! Without him, we woulda' lost every game by a total of 20 or more...LOL. I mean, did anyone even watch game 3? Seriously, Kobe dominated the Celtics single-handedly. And whoever says he let his team down last night is a major idiot...he had 10 assists. Odom and Gasol reverted back to their soft/passive ways in the 2nd half, and that's why we lost. Kobe still > MJ. The series isn't over.
-
Kobe still > MJ. The series isn't over.
Im not really a Laker fan, but i'm a huge Kobe fan. I cant say Kobe > MJ, because MJ would have never relinquished a 24 point lead.
This series is definetely not over. LA should pull out game 5. The pressure would be on Boston in game 6 to close out because they wouldnt want to face Kobe in a game 7.

Kobe didn't relinquish a 24 point lead, the team defense did. Kobe can't win EVERY game single-handedly. Sure, he can win some (Game 3), but MJ never won games alone. Pippen never disappeared for long stretches the way Odom and Gasol have been doing in this series.

Keep bangin your head on the wall...Fact of the matter is, MJ only had 1 ring at Kobe's current age. Blaming Kobe on a night he had 10 assists is quite lame, especially when you take into consideration that the defense and supporting cast falling asleep is what lost it.

i dont really blame Kobe. Kobe (as all leaders) should blame himself though. You win and lose with your superstars. Most of the time, when you win its because your stars play well....and lose, because your stars dont. I just think the "Kobe> MJ" thing is obviously a ridiculous statement.
-
Fuckin Kobe needs to stop fuckin around and drive to the fuckin basket... stop taking jump shots... draw the defence and the fouls...
he has only done this in game 3 (yeah the one that they won)
Odom finally showed up...
Gasol is fuckin soft.... Dunk the fuckin ball
and the rest of the team just seems to be standing around when shit starts hitting the fan....
ok vent over...
go lakers... i still think they can pull it off myself... if they all play like we all know they can... they can take this celtics team any day...
if kobe comes out soft for any of these next 3 games its over.... kobe drive the fuckin ball... you are either going to get a high percentage shot/dunk/lay-up... draw a foul and get free throws... or open up opportunities for the rest of the team by drawing the D.

And what's ridiculous about it? Look where Kobe brought his team from last year...And that's without our starting center. Don't trip, Kobe has many more rings in his future.

Kobe was driving and dishing all night! It's just that the supporting cast wasn't hitting the shots in the 2nd half...Sasha really stepped it down big time, going 1-9, after his great performance in Game 3. That's another big reason we lost. Odom also went away from what was working...And don't get me started on Gasol, dude has been a mind-boggling player. 3 straight wins wont be easy, but it's achievable, if we can just stick to what works.

ok as much as i have always said "kobe pass the ball" i think now he needs to "stop passing the damn ball" in alot of situations... he can take any of these chumps to school anytime he wants... he needs to start doing it and taking them balls to the basket
and lol at me saying kobe stop passing that damn ball!... wow never thought that would happen... lol
he could have easily done that a couple times down that stretch to slow down the Celtics momentum by getting to the line and slowing down the game.
-
oh and by the way... the lakers didnt deserve to win last night... plane and simple
-
^Fact of the matter is, Kobe can't win every one of these games on his own...he has to get his teammates involved, and that also carries on to the defensive end. I dunno what it is, but for some reason, our players always seem to lose that fire...everyone besides Kobe. It's really strange, considering we know what they're capable of.

but what i think is that last night his squad acctually came through atlest in the first half... kobe didnt... he needed to shine and i was really happy seeing that lakers up by 20 at the half and kobe with such low points.... because i figured he is going to step in when its time and get his shine on... problem was it never came... the adjustment of putting pierce on him probably changed his game a bit... but we all know he can school pierce any day of the week.

Garnett >>>> Odom & Gasol combined

in Kobe's defence...he did come alive in the 3rd....his teammates didn't hahah
soft ass biches ---> Odom and Gasol...they aint championship material

i dont see y evyone hates on Gasol
hes one of tha main reasons y tha Lakers r in tha finals
and of course hes gonna mature and become better

Everyone's Blaming The Lakers For Losing The Game - But What About The Awesome Defense The Celtics Had In The 2nd Half - They Had That Zone On LOCK! No One Was Getting Behind Any Of The Celtic Players (Unlike Sasha, Im Sorry But I Was Laughing When I Saw Him Crying After Letting Allen Drive Past Him)
Anyway - Rooting For The City To Win - Go L.A. - But I'll Give It Up To A Good Boston Squad If They Win It As Well.

Ray Allen made Sasha look like an idiot
I was pumped when Allen did that

yeah Sasha had to had thought he had backside help. Miscommunication on defense has been the Lakers may woe this season.

this shit is heart-breaking..wow...i can't believe we lost a 20 point 3rd quarter lead....fuck iy, we're just going to make history, we stil wining this shit, fuck the celtics 8)
and people need to stop acting like mj did it by himself..he needed 2 of the most dominant defenders in nba history to win championships (pippen and rodman)...Rodman was also a dominant rebounder.......kobe is actually doing more with less...

Did he lose in the Finals? I didn't think so...He's taking care of business. The only reason the Lakers are where they are right now, which is still better than ANYONE expected.

He's about to. I didnt say he hasnt done alot. But that comment made no sense. Doing "More" with less. More would mean at the VERY least winning the title as the main guy (ie. without Shaq). When comparing to Jordan, it would be more like winning at least 6 titles if you wanna say doing "more".

He was part of the team that lost in the Finals in '04 and he will be a part of the team that lost in the Finals in '08.

the only thing kobe does "more" of with "less" than jordan is....
more LOSING in the finals (he's lost 6 of his last 7 finals games) with less HEART/LEADERSHIP skills (this nicca had the 'best team' in the west and he still cant win and only scores 17 points in the biggest game of his season. what a chump.)
jordan never lost a finals, kobe is about to hit his 2nd straight loss after blowin so bad he will have the nba finals worst ever choke attached to his name. kobe = pippen, good sidekicc, cant ever win shiet as the main guy.

Jordan at Kobe's age only won 1 title. Kobe was the main guy in the 3rd Laker title...even the 2nd title can be argued. Also, Kobe is doing more with less in a sense that he's taking a team who no one expected to do shit all the way to the Finals. He has less than what Jordan had, yet he's made it to the big stage, while Jordan has made it to the Finals with ONLY great teams. When we get Bynum, we will be a great team, no doubt in my mind...as of now, the fact that we're even in the Finals is amazing. I think we're a really great team when we play to our potential, I say the best in the league. But the thing is, we don't play to our potential 100% of the time. I expect the Lakers to handle it in these next 3 games.

What you're too stupid to understand is that if Kobe's teammates had stepped up and played like they were supposed to in the clutch, we'd be 2-2 right now. It's amazing that Kobe has even taken this team all the way from 42 wins to a Finals contender. How do dumbshits fail to realize this? When we get our center back, THE LEAGUE IS IN TROUBLE. Kobe at 29 = 3 titles. Jordan at 29 = 1 title. Kobe still has time to handle shit, and he will. Skillwise, he's better than Jordan. He has more titles at a younger age, and we're gunna have our full roster next season, ready to dominate the league. Kobe has many titles in their future. He' carried the Lakers on his back this whole Finals. None of the games were blowouts, it could have just as easily been 3-1 Laker advantage in the series, with fair officiating and more consistency from the supporting cast...Kobe will retire as the greatest player of all time. :-*

Its just you. Dude worked his ass off to get where he's at. Every 4th quarter he's on the floor now. The coaches / players respect him. The fans love him. Dude made a name for himself by stepping up and improving, and NO ONE on earth will tell you that he's cocky or conceited or anything like that.
-
^ you put sasha on the grizzlies, or a team where he is the 1st or 2nd primary option and i bet he you he'd ride the PINE, everyone knows the only reason why Sasha's seems to be good is because he plays off of kobe bryant drawing the defense's attention which leads to wide open looks , defenders running at you while your chilling on the perimeter.. like stu lantz says when he watches sasha fail driving to the hoop trying to be like kobe "know your limits" :D
LOL at kobe bryant's post game 4 comments " WE WET THE BED"
-
^Sorry, but Sasha would be a 15 PPG+ player on another team...He's a dead on shooter with good defense. He'd be starting on most teams, and would be a primary option on offense. Sasha wasn't always this good, but he's stepped his game up a lot this season.

Jordan was ALWAYS the best player on his team and never played with the most dominant center in the league. Jordan had the ability to will his team to the trophy no matter what. Kobe = very good, Jordan = great.

Did he lose in the Finals? I didn't think so...He's taking care of business. The only reason the Lakers are where they are right now, which is still better than ANYONE expected.
He's about to. I didnt say he hasnt done alot. But that comment made no sense. Doing "More" with less. More would mean at the VERY least winning the title as the main guy (ie. without Shaq). When comparing to Jordan, it would be more like winning at least 6 titles if you wanna say doing "more".
Jordan at Kobe's age only won 1 title. Kobe was the main guy in the 3rd Laker title...even the 2nd title can be argued. Also, Kobe is doing more with less in a sense that he's taking a team who no one expected to do shit all the way to the Finals. He has less than what Jordan had, yet he's made it to the big stage, while Jordan has made it to the Finals with ONLY great teams. When we get Bynum, we will be a great team, no doubt in my mind...as of now, the fact that we're even in the Finals is amazing. I think we're a really great team when we play to our potential, I say the best in the league. But the thing is, we don't play to our potential 100% of the time. I expect the Lakers to handle it in these next 3 games.
Jordan was ALWAYS the best player on his team and never played with the most dominant center in the league. Jordan had the ability to will his team to the trophy no matter what. Kobe = very good, Jordan = great.
Good ol' NIK...the ultimate spinster. He can twist and turn through anything and make Kobe always come out on top. I believe him to be more of a Kobe fan than a Laker fan...

And I'm guessing you also think Kobe is just "very good" as opposed to "great"...LMFAO.
-
The Lakers need Bynum to be the down low force he is, i've had enough of Gasol's soft ass play, dude's a good scorer but he doesn't have the strength that most centers have, once Bynum comes back it's not even gonna be fair

Jordan = 6 rings as the best player and leader of his team
Kobe = No rings as the best player and leader of his team.
Kobe can't compare to Jordan. I'm not saying he never will, but as of right now, there is no comparison. Those three titles were Shaq's. He woulda had those rings on any other team. Kobe was fortunate enough to be there for the ride. Kobe right now is about where Pippen is. Very good player who was a great player's sidekick but has no rings without that great player.

^ you put sasha on the grizzlies, or a team where he is the 1st or 2nd primary option and i bet he you he'd ride the PINE, everyone knows the only reason why Sasha's seems to be good is because he plays off of kobe bryant drawing the defense's attention which leads to wide open looks , defenders running at you while your chilling on the perimeter.. like stu lantz says when he watches sasha fail driving to the hoop trying to be like kobe "know your limits" :D
Well yeah you're right, Kobe does have a habbit of making everyone around him better.

You're clearly a hater and an idiot if you think Kobe is more a Pippen type player than a Jordan type player...Kobe was just as much the leader and backbone of those Laker threepeat teams. ESPECIALLY the last two. Jordan ain't shit without Pippen and those great supporting casts. Once again, Kobe@29=3 rings, 2 more than Jordan. According to you, Kobe is just "very good", not "great", and he's a "supporting player", not a "franchise player"...You don't deserve to post about sports in this section.

I'm not a hater, you're just a dickrider. Can't do nothin about that, Honcho. Replace Kobe on the Shaq era Lakers with Joe Average and Shaq still gets the rings. Take Shaq off them teams and Kobe is just a really good player (but with no rings). Regarding the Pippen comment, you didn't get my point, and maybe I didnt explain it well enough. Kobe is clearly a vastly superior player than Pippen, but Kobe and Pippen are more comparable than Kobe and Jordan in the sense that the only rings either of them have come from playing second fiddle to a player that is unquestionably great. Kobe as a leader, no rings. Pippen as a leader, no rings.

Yea...just anyone coulda' replaced Kobe in those 4th quarters, and the Lakers still woulda been a 3peat team. ::) You, my friend, are pathetic. Kobe was a captain and just as much a leader in those 3peat teams. The disparity between Kobe and Shaq is not the same as the disparity between Jordan and Pippen. The fact that you imply that is funny all on its own. :D

i think shaq was still equal to what kobe was in those three peat teams. he absoloutley decimated the three teams he faced in the nba finals. shaq had the "3" finals mvps so was obviousley the main factor on the laker teams when it mattered most.
read this below, it shows shaq had three of the best finals series in the history of the league.

to suggest kobe was the man back then is absurd.

not just bout rings
its everythin combined
malone n barkley were in the league 4 a long time n there aint no question bout their greatness jus like there aint none bout jordans. kobe still gotta prove himself. he won 3 rings on shaqs back. after the gasol trade all the laker fans were saying theyre going all the way cuz they got the best team in the league. and now theyre all making excuses. kobe with the best team in the league is down 3-1 in the finals. that dont sound jordanesque to me.
-
Objectively speaking, the Lakers are pathetic and pitiful. The 21-point lead they had at the end of the first quarter was the largest in NBA Finals history. They led by 20 points in the third quarter. Then they choked like they were sucking on a 13" dick. In the third quarter they took everything good they did in the first half and flushed it down the toilet. To put it historically, it's the largest second-half deficit ever overcome in the Finals. I predicted the trophy was going to be hoisted this Sunday, but it looks like I predicted the wrong team.

We are the best team in the league...unfortunately, we haven't been playing like it 100% of the time. Despite everything you say, Kobe bringing his team from 42 wins to NBA Finals is still a major ACCOMPLISHMENT, not something to use against him. We may be the best team in the league, but it's soley because we have Kobe on our side. Gasol is playing out of position as starting center, and Odom at power forward. When Bynum comes back:
PG Fisher
SG Kobe
SF Odom
PF Gasol
C Bynum
Untouchable.

to suggest kobe was the man back then is absurd.
It may be absurd to claim Kobe was the main guy in the first title run, but not in the 2nd one, and DEFINITELY not in title number 3.
-
kobe still gotta prove himself.
Yep. No one can doubt Kobe's ability, he's a great player. I, myself, just can't compare him to Jordan...........yet.
Anyway.......game 5.......& I've got the day off.......wooohoooooo!! Will there be a riot in L.A if the Celtics pull it off?
-
^Paul Pierce will get shot...but don't worry, it wont happen.
-
the lakers should get ready to lose at home, again 8)
-
the better team is up 3-1
jordan > kobe until kobe accomplishes what jordan has, so cut the speculation about the future
Going by your logic, Rasheed Wallace>Charles Barkley & Karl Malone, because he's accomplished more! ::)
1-MJ has better stats
2-MJ has more titles
3-MJ has more MVP's
4-MJ carried the NBA...Kobe can never do that
-
no more vlad and luke...trevor needs to play 30+ minutes
-
the lakers might win it tonight and then boston will win the championship back at home

No, The Jordan Rules carried the NBA. Like I keep saying, compare them at the same age, and Kobe has achieved more. The end.

LOL hahahahaha your so funny
Rasheed Wallace ovre Malone and Barkley is a stretch but Rasheed playing at his best may be on a similar level...Sir Charles is a personal favorite though.
anyways back to common sense, MJ has never lost when his team was good enough to make the NBA finals...Lakers, Trailblazers, Suns, Seattle, Utah all got slayed by the great one.
if MJ was on the Lakers the year they lost to the Pistons in the finals (give him an age adjustment ofcourse) that team wins 75 games and beats Detroit 4-1

that 3rd garnett "foul" was not a fuckin foul.. the nba is rigged >:(
-
that 3rd garnett "foul" was not a fuckin foul.. the nba is rigged >:(
they want the Lakers to win today...easy to tell
-
just wait till garnett comes back in the second half, its over for the lakers. pierce is gonna throw up 40+ pts tonite... the lakers are absolutely pathetic. 34>>>24
-
34>>>24
:stupid:
LOL. Now I've heard everything.

yea i think the lakers are gonna take it tonight (or receive it i should say)
but celtics gonna win it back in boston
and damn pierce is shittin on em again!!!
what happened to kobe 2nd quarter? i know its fathers day but dat nigga can wait til after the game to read harry potter to his daughters, he aint gotta disappear during the game to do that shit
-
that 3rd garnett "foul" was not a fuckin foul.. the nba is rigged >:(
they want the Lakers to win today...easy to tell
LOL. Yea, that's why we have 2 technicals already. If you agree that the NBA is rigged, then you agree it's the only reason the Celtics are currently up 3-2.

Did MJ ever play in a Finals without the second best player on the team (Pippen)? Didn't think so. If he did, results woulda been disasterous, as you can imagine...PeACe
-
the Lakers suck!
they play perfect basketball in the 1st then in the 2nd they look like idiots
they should have kept passing to Kobe when he had the hot hand
also Phil should have left him in, the first substitution for the Lakers fucked the flow of their game up
Mihm and Vujacic are weak and Turiaf is a fuckin ghost
-
It's not a matter of sucking, it's a matter of our your players lacking experience and consistency.
-
well fuck, how the hell do you get this far looking good and then look like the Bobcats or something
both these teams are weak
-
Give some credit to the defenses. Tough defense can make you look a lot shittier than you are.
-
Lakers fans got more excuses than a brother on his way to jail
-
We're actually not playing that bad. Pierce is just playing like he mad man. Dude knows whats at stake and he's going for it.

excuses excuses. you are like Kobe, you blame team mates for his shortcomings
Kobe gets credit for having to face a legendary Celtics team though, no fault in losing to the best

these guys are terrible at grabbing boards
I swear every rebound attempt goes off the fingers
-
Seriously we suck ..

they don't know how to finish a play

rajon rondo becomes a threat at home
kg had a horrible game, he wasnt hitting his shot, missing free throws, and got into EARLY FOUL TROUBLE
the way the lakers played tonight aint gonna get it done in boston

close enough, and it's equally foolish

We should let KG beat us .. dude choked once again in the 4th ..
-
^^ kg hits his shot at home good luck
-
^^^^ in the 1st Q of Game 1... then nothing .. he's not even shooting 40% in these Finals
-
celtics missed perkins today to muscle gasol around,ray allen had an off game today as well
i know tonights game gives you hope for a big kg let down, but the c's play with a high level of confidence at home good luck with putting your money on kg not having a great offensive impact on the game

lakers will win this series mark my words

^^ u wanna bet your anal virginity?
laker fans arent taking any bets right now at all, theyre shook they know they cant come back from a 3-1 well now 3-2 deficit with 2 more games to play at home
i see kobe bryant can put up 81 points against a sorry team but against a legit team hes struggling
-
34 >>> 24.
-
34 >>> 24.
hahah i hope thats a joke .....peirce prob wont even make it in the hof.....and he needed 2 great allstars to get him where he is lol....were u a celtic fan last year???i highly doubt it...were u sayin peirce was better than kobe then???get real before u talk nonsense lol
-
this shit is heart-breaking..wow...i can't believe we lost a 20 point 3rd quarter lead....fuck iy, we're just going to make history, we stil wining this shit, fuck the celtics 8)
and people need to stop acting like mj did it by himself..he needed 2 of the most dominant defenders in nba history to win championships (pippen and rodman)...Rodman was also a dominant rebounder.......kobe is actually doing more with less...
how is losing in the finals "more"?
Did he lose in the Finals? I didn't think so...He's taking care of business. The only reason the Lakers are where they are right now, which is still better than ANYONE expected.
He's about to. I didnt say he hasnt done alot. But that comment made no sense. Doing "More" with less. More would mean at the VERY least winning the title as the main guy (ie. without Shaq). When comparing to Jordan, it would be more like winning at least 6 titles if you wanna say doing "more".
Jordan at Kobe's age only won 1 title. Kobe was the main guy in the 3rd Laker title...
3rd laker title......?
try,
1. Referees
2. Shaq
3. Kobe

is it just me, or does Sasha come across as a guy who thinks he is far more important to the team then he really is lol
Its just you. Dude worked his ass off to get where he's at. Every 4th quarter he's on the floor now. The coaches / players respect him. The fans love him. Dude made a name for himself by stepping up and improving, and NO ONE on earth will tell you that he's cocky or conceited or anything like that.

I know you don't really believe that, considering Spurs got their asses handed to them by the Lakers through each title run. And I KNOW you remember who was coming up big in those 4th quarters (especially in '02 and '03). 8)

Lakers are definitely playing like garbage...if Boston was a strong team, this woulda been a sweep by them. Instead, there's pressure on them to close it out this Tuesday without their starting center.

this is just sick. the funny thing is if kobe was playing as well as we all know he can, then they wouldnt be in this position.
How is it that the undisputed best player in the league (i had finally become a believer, now am rethinking again) is doing this little in the NBA finals?
sad for Kobe, sad for Laker fans, much sadder for Kobe stans
-
Barring a parting of the red sea type miracle.... congrats to the Celtics. They played better as a team and deserve their trophy.

Talking about choking .. Boston was clearly the better team but Lakers have no pride and need to toughen up

You gotta love the way Lamar Odom finally decided to play hard with his team down by damn near 40...

Lakers in 5...maybe even a sweep. Celtics are no match for us. From the coach, to the bench, to the stars, to the experience. No match.
LAFFIN MY MUTHAFUCCIN ASS OFF CUZZ.
That "SHITTY" Celtics team raped the Lakers in 6 of the 8 games they played this season. They beat them 2 times with Bynum, and 4 times with Pau Gaysol.
hahaha. lakers lose by 40 points.

That was a domiination in Game 6, I was surprised that the Lakers folded once Boston got rolling. Every other game in this series had been close so I figured this one would follow suit, but the got outworked. It will be interesting to see what these teams do in the offseason, and how they come back because both should be front-runners to return to the Finals. You never know, the Celtics could get complacent, and the Lakers could let this loss eat away at their confidence. Congrats to Boston, they deserved the title, and now everybody is gunning for them next season.

Honestly the Lakers have a good team in place. They have a very good starting 5 and a bunch of role players. I wouldn't call em wack, they just aren't as good as some around here would have you believe.

some people arond here were making it out that Kobe was MJ, Bynum is the next Kareem and Gasol is on the same level as Worthy lol

this is just sick. the funny thing is if kobe was playing as well as we all know he can, then they wouldnt be in this position.
If you really believe that, then I really don't know what to say...seriously, now, you DO realize defense is what lost us this, right? Kobe wasn't gunna win this 1-on-5.

Lakers in 5...maybe even a sweep. Celtics are no match for us. From the coach, to the bench, to the stars, to the experience. No match.
LAFFIN MY MUTHAFUCCIN ASS OFF CUZZ.
That "SHITTY" Celtics team raped the Lakers in 6 of the 8 games they played this season. They beat them 2 times with Bynum, and 4 times with Pau Gaysol.
hahaha. lakers lose by 40 points.
LMAO, the lakers are trash, and they will continue to be trash. Warriors are gonna represent for the Western Conference in next year's NBA Finals, and please believe they will represent the West way better then these homos.
Bet on that...your boy still owes me 2 bills for making that same bet last season.
