It is a glorious day to return to the boards. I come bck to civiilization and see my Lakers have toppled the previous champs and now await their next opponent.
at Hamilton continuing to flop. That knee to Cassels stomach probably hurt him more than it hurt Rip.
Fairly one sided. They call KG for his 4th for throwing his elbow when he never even threw a bow, then they call Perk for a T for disputing it. My question is why didn't they call a T on Sheed when he went after the Ref Twice now on back to back possesion.
It's in D-town, what'd you expect? Yeah it seems like Rasheed is TRYING to get suspended or aggravate the referees. At this point, he hasn't done anything this game nor has he exactly been on good behavior, so he should just keep it quiet and go help his team.
I'm sorry but these ticky tack calls are making it unwatchable. I think they have called 5-6 offensive fouls on Boston I'd say 4 of them were bull**** calls.
How do you call traveling when Rip grabbed on to Pierces shoulder and pulled? I mean how? I was enjoying this series because they were letting both sides get away with equal amount of stuff but this game is anything but.
Dude you have no idea I hate games when the Refs get involved so much that they favor a team. That 3rd Quarter was HORRENDOUS.
Maxiell is going to be a star. Perk can't contain him their better off putting Perk on Rattlif and KG on Maxiell.
Yeah I think they got a good combo in Stuckey and Maxiell. Now if Afflalo develops, they will be good.
Yeah, nice addition that Posey has been. Physical player. Perkins has been a surprise but I was told he came on late last year for the Celts and really impressed.
hahah, its his time. I am happy for him, I wish he would have achieved this success in Minnesota but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Safe to say that I am happy for him despite despising the Celtics.
I agree. Who you guys rooting for? I don't like either team but I want KG to win his well deserved ring so theres my vote.
Cant root for the Lakes, plus I'm a closet Celts fan.....Which causes turmoil in my own head due to the fact that they are rivals of my boys.
Sorry I'm rooting for the Celtics. I'd love to see Perice, Allen, and KG get their ring. Even though I was born in LA I don't want them to win it this year.
Thank the sports gods that the Detroit Raging Fraud blew it again. That said, the Celtics are a shadow of their regular season selves, and unless they get it together very quickly, they're doomed. Lakers in 5 if they don't, Celtics in 7 if they do.
Your giving the Lakers too much credit yeah they have Kobe which he will probably drop 25-35 a night but Lakers wont have an answer for KG and I believe the Celtics might have too much fire power. Granted Lakers have a way better coach that sticks to his rotation. I think they match up better with LA IMO. But the Refs will be favoring Kobe so winning in 5 isn't out of the question.
Yeah, I can understand where Desides is coming from. Despite Celtics two wins on the road, they still haven't been overly impressive. They'll need to be clicking on all cylinders on both sides of the ball to win this. I think Pau can matchup with KG. I just don't know who they plan on having guard Pierce and Ray. It showed in the Cleveland series that one man can be a wrecking crew (LeBron). He almost won that series on his own. Kobe is superior to LeBron and if Kobe gets too hot, it may spell trouble for the Celtics.
Very good point. but you have to think Boston is going to step up their game. No not even Gasol can guard KG. KG is going to have his off nights it seems like every other 3rd game he has a average night but some of the best defenders can't guard KG. We'll see though its going to be a great series.
I have no doubt that KG will show up this series, being it is the biggest possible seven games of his life. I just think that Pau Gasol isn't recognized much because of his time in Memphis and I think he can slow him down, JMO. I still don't know how the Los Angeles Kobe's plan on guarding Ray and Pierce. I think Boston will win this.
Well Van Gundy thinks they will put Kobe on Rondo and let Kobe run freely which could work but who guards Pierce?
