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

I don't like people disrespecting opponents. But Celtics didn't.Obviously, Lamar Odom would beg to differ...did you watch the last 5 minutes of the game? Glenn Davis pushing Ronny Turiaf, KG blocking shots and shouting at the top of his lungs, spilling Gatorade on the floor and celebrating while the game is still going, starters still on the court making highlight dunks in the closing minutes, running up the lead as opposed to winding down the clock...So which is it? Was the game over or was it still going on? if the game wasn't over, whats wrong with still playing hard? If the game is over, what the fuck does anybody care if they spilled gatorade on the floor? The game WASN'T OVER. LOL. They spilled Gatorade at the 3 min mark.OK, so the game wasn't over but you're saying its wrong for KG to still pack Odom's shit with 5 minutes left with your reasoning being that "the game was over" but all of a sudden the game isn't over with 30 seconds left? You're not being consistent.

No, i don't. I don't like people disrespecting opponents. But Celtics didn't.
They were just celebrating, man. With too much passion, but KG is known for being like that. Do you remember your Dream Teams with him and how he used to be like that against opponents who were down by 30? He's like that. Against everybody.Anyway homie have you ever been in Greece? Or Turkey? Or even here in Italy? Have you ever seen the Greek Finals? Just to show you a little example..<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/Jbi8-kQIEKg" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/Jbi8-kQIEKg</a>You can't immagine the shit they're saying against opponent players and team. I was been there (my father was an international ref and i went there with him a lot of times watching him). Oh, and it was just the pre-game. Immagine during the game. One day it was an ULEB Cup match i've seen a toilet thrown into the bastkeball court from the arena. Crazy shit. I've seen fans throwing coins against opponent players, entering the court with 3-4 minutes to play to celebrate the win, or giving punches and shit to opponent players.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/61uztwjAi6E" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/61uztwjAi6E</a>This is the last game of Mike D'Antoni in Italy (he retired after this one). He's the #8 in red jersey, just to let you know. And this was Game-5 (out of 5) of the Italian finals.That's what i'm talking about. THIS shit is scaring/wrong/disrespectful. Not the players celebrating the win and blocking an opponent player's shot!! C'mon.Watch this.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/FODOpBpMwx8" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/FODOpBpMwx8</a>You can immagine how they treated the opponent team in the last 3 minutes....And you're bitching about some gatorade thrown against the coach too early??? Or KG celebrating a late block too much?
Especially when the Lakers came by to give them their props, and the Celtics didn't even acknowledge them whatsoever, going as far as to push them out their way...
You can see it from another prospective. Laker players showed no class when they realized they were down by 30, and they didn't even try to reduce the deficit to 20 points. They considered the game over, and they just wanted the Celtics to stop playing and make the time expire. Unfortunately you can't do it, in basketball. They showed no pride, no class, no respect for the game. They were loosing, but they still had to play till the last minute of the game. They didn't. They were the first ones who showed no respect to US, to their fans. To their jersey. To Laker history. Sorry but i can't blame the Celtics for that. I wanted my Lakers to recude the deficit to 15-20 points. Shit, at least try it!! In other words: they deserved to be humiliated.
LAKERS = SOFT

Who Cares Really?!?! - I don't see the laker players complaining about this, only some fans looking for more excuses to hate. You think they are sitting around crying and whimpering "oh those classless bullies, how dare they!" no, they move on, NIK - take the "L" just like the lakers, lock the thread and move on. thats all there is to it. Next Year, If you were right all along Karma will hit the celtics and the lakers will be where they should be if u were right.
