Lakers@Celtics Game Thread

[turiaf for president]

we should be up by 5. damn FT's are killing us

[MarHill]

damn kobe is off today

Yes he is! But Boston has made him take tough jump shots....

[DrHouse]

Spur fan stop trolling and get the fuck out of this thread.

Nobody cares about your pathetic ringless shit talk to Mav fans.

[Shastafarian]

:lol

Wheres the 'Real NBA Champion' Trophys from 2003, 2005 and 2007?

They're on layaway.

[hhml]

Again, if Lakers lose, they have themselves to blame for missing FTs. They've played incredibly today and can win this game, BUT only if they make their FTs.

[Shastafarian]

Spur fan stop trolling and get the fuck out of this thread.

Nobody cares about your pathetic ringless shit talk to Mav fans.

Why don't you cry about it? It's a commercial. Take a xanax or something.

Mav fan started it and you know that Spurs fans will finish it!!

[hhml]

Another bad shot by Kobe.

[MambaJuice2408]

If lakers r smart. they will go after KG and try to get his 6th

[peskypesky]

yow. 2pt game.

[Shastafarian]

haha Pau just fell flat on his ass. That was funny.

[peskypesky]

refs letting them play

[MambaJuice2408]

Kg Out

[ClingingMars]

one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

-Mars

[Jloyola]

BYe KG

[MarHill]

Kg Out

Yep!

Derek Fisher sold that foul well!!

:lol

[MambaJuice2408]

Its Irony we get to play them without their big man and without ours. This should be good

[peskypesky]

the refs suck...trying to give it to the Lakers

[turiaf for president]

y isnt doc birinig in powe?

[Spur-Addict]

refs letting them play

Not exactly :lol

[peskypesky]

Go Big Baby!!!!

[dirk4mvp]

the refs suck...trying to give it to the Lakers

on boston's hc? gtfo.

[MambaJuice2408]

LOL at Luke with No hops to tap it out

[hhml]

Remember people, first to 100 win. It's Lawler's Law. Let the race begin.

[dirk4mvp]

What a shot.

[MambaJuice2408]

Woo HOO

[Jloyola]

Kobe!!!

[turiaf for president]

kobeeee

[dirk4mvp]

What a crap call.

[MambaJuice2408]

Why evertime it gets close. does LA shoot themselves in the foot and give boston a mismatch like fisher on pierce. its silly

[mystargtr34]

Kobe is money.

[DrHouse]

Refs giving this game away to the Celtics.

Pierce with 4 BS free throws.

[HarlemHeat37]

Garnett must have felt like he was in Minnesota with that call..the infamous Lakers-Wolves series, where LA got every call possible, fouled KG out in OT on a phantom call, but Minnesota managed to pull it out behind Anthony Peeler and Hudson..

[MambaJuice2408]

Kobe does make uncharistically bad decisions versus Boston. Ill give Boston that

[DrHouse]

Pierce was not getting these calls on X-mas day.

Now his acting is getting rewarded.

That's the difference right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

refs have been pretty good..different than the first game, which was very biased towards the Lakers..

[DrHouse]

Garnett must have felt like he was in Minnesota with that call..the infamous Lakers-Wolves series, where LA got every call possible, fouled KG out in OT on a phantom call, but Minnesota managed to pull it out behind Anthony Peeler and Hudson..

That was a clear foul and there is nothing you can say to dispute that.

[DPG21920]

Refs giving this game away to the Celtics.

Pierce with 4 BS free throws.

Didn't they foul out KG? By the way, KB is cold blooded.

[mystargtr34]

Why the fuck is Davis out there instead of Powe.

[turiaf for president]

if kobe can foul out on that foul against the bobcats (bump on shannon brown) this was more than legit. i would not have called a foul on neither

[Frenzy]

funny how fisher sells a foul with the last foul on KG and then pierce does it right back to him... lol hows that fisher....good acting huh

[DrHouse]

refs have been pretty good..different than the first game, which was very biased towards the Lakers..

I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing on Sunday when the Spurs get raped the exact same way. Don't be blind.

[HarlemHeat37]

I wouldn't expect Dr.House to view it objectively though, he's one of the worst posters I've ever encountered..not only on Spurs Talk, but on any message board on the internet..

[MambaJuice2408]

Kobe hit his last 3 shots but I don't like the fact that hes not attacking the rim. Boston has no shotblocker in there.

[turiaf for president]

Didn't they foul out KG? By the way, KB is cold blooded.

they prolly forgot how many fouls he had LOL

[mystargtr34]

if kobe can foul out on that foul against the bobcats (bump on shannon brown) this was more than legit. i would not have called a foul on neither

So it wasnt a foul :lol

[DPG21920]

Laker fans, do you like Dr. House?

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing on Sunday when the Spurs get raped the exact same way. Don't be blind.

everybody knows the Celtics get a lot of calls..they were allowed to play more physical than LA in the finals..but the refs were clearly slightly biased towards LA in the first game, and that KG call was clearly BS..

[turiaf for president]

So it wasnt a foul :lol

yup but not according to the refs

[peskypesky]

Pierce with the clutch shot

[MarHill]

I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing on Sunday when the Spurs get raped the exact same way. Don't be blind.

Sorry the Spurs won't get raped on Sunday!

The Celts will have another tough game on their hands.....

:flag:

[peskypesky]

Gasol answers

[Cry Havoc]

Sweet move by Gasol.

[MambaJuice2408]

Lakers are blowing this game by not having ariza in there...Theyre setting it up for Pierce to be the hero by letting Walton guard him. UNBELIEVABLE

[peskypesky]

ouch

[mystargtr34]

Laker fans, do you like Dr. House?

They like him because he makes them look smart, educated and unbias.

[DPG21920]

Dude, I have noticed this, and not just tonight. The Celtics offense is garbage. They have some very nice offensive players, but their offensive system sucks.

[peskypesky]

Gasol f-ed up

[Frenzy]

24 sec...ha. just ha

[turiaf for president]

mr bryant again. its like nba 2k9

[DrHouse]

That could have been the game right there.

Pau gets fouled, no call on the drive. Pathetic officiating down the stretch.

[HarlemHeat37]

what a horrible way to follow this game..Mavs-Jazz? eww..

[MambaJuice2408]

Lakers blew that last possession. They had the right idea with screen roll. but they shoulda had gasol roll baseline for a J rather than the freethrow line

[DrHouse]

Lakers needed to score on that possession.

[mystargtr34]

That could have been the game right there.

Pau gets fouled, no call on the drive. Pathetic officiating down the stretch.

STFU you whiny little bitch.

[MarHill]

That could have been the game right there.

Pau gets fouled, no call on the drive. Pathetic officiating down the stretch.

You should know better....

they are not going to make that call in Boston!

I have to give the Lakers credit...they have played a good ballgame!

[Many PackYao]

What a shot by Kobe! In yo face Pierce, you peanuthead bastard.:blah

[Shastafarian]

It's funny that the refs missed a clear foul when Kobe's jersey came about 4 inches off of his back because he was being held. Still, Lakers fans bitching about calls is hilarious.

[DrHouse]

Like I said.

The refs ARE GIVING THIS GAME TO BOS.

JUST BULL SHIT CALLS LEFT AND RIGHT.

[peskypesky]

Why is Big Baby shooting from the perimeter?

[HarlemHeat37]

uh oh..Pierce better make these..

Kobe's the scariest guy in the NBA to be against with limited time left on the clock..unless he's in the finals, where he always chokes..

[DrHouse]

Fucking bull shit refs.

[mystargtr34]

Glen Davis? Really?

[DrHouse]

Damnit Kobe what was that?

Fuck stupid offensive set.

[Ghazi]

Best closer in the game my ass

[MambaJuice2408]

HORRIBLE SHOT BY KOBE shot it with 4 secons left on the shotclock and it wasnt a normal rhythm shot

[Frenzy]

way to go kobe....u blew it :)

[DPG21920]

Good defense. But the Celts offense blows, does nobody else notice this?

[peskypesky]

Like I said.

The refs ARE GIVING THIS GAME TO BOS.

JUST BULL SHIT CALLS LEFT AND RIGHT.

yep, but most of those bullshit calls are going against the Celtics

[Spur-Addict]

Damn, that's good defense. I'm glad I tuned in to watch this one, it's a great one.

[DrHouse]

I'm nervous just thinking about this last shot.

I've seen the Lakers on the bad end of a last second shot too many times this season.

They will probably give Paul Pierce some F/T's the way this game is going.

[ClingingMars]

I wouldn't expect Dr.House to view it objectively though, he's one of the worst posters I've ever encountered..not only on Spurs Talk, but on any message board on the internet..

+1

[MambaJuice2408]

would u put ariza in right now?

[sook]

pierce goes to the line every fucking time

[peskypesky]

Good defense. But the Celts offense blows, does nobody else notice this?

Yeah. Their offense blows. That's why they're the defending champions and have the best record in the league. You're right.

[turiaf for president]

omg that shot was wayyy too close

[MambaJuice2408]

Lakers got this now. They survived regulation

[Frenzy]

haha i bet Kg is all wtf... i wanna play!

[Jloyola]

Nice D' Kobe...... 1st team all D right there

[Spur-Addict]

Oh Doc, you blew it. AhhhhHhH

[ClingingMars]

KG should still be in there.

-Mars

[MarHill]

Overtime!!

The Lakers better win this game...it is theirs for the taking!!

[lurker]

It seems like whenever there is a late game on TNT I actually want to watch, the first game goes to overtime. Why couldn't someone just lose already?

[Banzai]

OT..this game is fucking insane...damn

[mystargtr34]

Ot!!!!!

[Ghazi]

To the person who said the Celtics offense blows, they are 5th in terms of efficiency.

If they didn't turn the ball over so damn much, their offense is just as potent as the Lakers/Cavs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop draws better plays.

[dirk4mvp]

That shot by House was almost as bad as Kobe's before.

[turiaf for president]

ariza should start instead of walton in OT

[sook]

best game of the yr

[DrHouse]

OH I COULDN'T EVEN watch that play. I was so nervous.

It's time to GO INTO PAU GASOL!!!!!!!!

Feed the post, stop shooting gay jumpers

[mystargtr34]

I cant work out who i hate more, Boston or LA. Its tough watching this game.

I guess since the Lakers are in the West i should go for Boston.

[Allanon]

Lakers have no excuse for not winning this in OT.

It's on you Pau, win this shit against Big Baby.

[DPG21920]

Yeah. Their offense blows. That's why they're the defending champions and have the best record in the league. You're right.

Ya, because having the best defense in the league has nothing to with that. You're right. Because their offense looks smooth. You're right. Because their point guard can't shoot or finish at the rim or shoot free throws or because he dribbles around all the time. You're right.

[sook]

I cant work out who i hate more, Boston or LA. Its tough watching this game.

one teams a bunch of fucking thugs that think they are the shit with a fish looking PG and one is playing its heart out with the best player on the planet. Not tuff for me

[MambaJuice2408]

Well we should be able to get our first win in Boston since the Big 3's arrival...

To think they Lakers might have a chance to 6-0 on a road trip withou Bynum for the 5 of them is still available

[MambaJuice2408]

Kobes being real lazy offensively...This is pathetic. The Bobcats can finish an OT game better than the Lakers

[mystargtr34]

one teams a bunch of fucking thugs that think they are the shit with a fish looking PG and one is playing its heart out with the best player on the planet. Not tuff for me

Yea but its the Lakers.

[HarlemHeat37]

everybody is missing everything..I'm surprised they aren't going into Pau with KG out..Kobe's just jacking up 3's..

[Shastafarian]

one teams a bunch of fucking thugs that think they are the shit with a fish looking PG and one is playing its heart out with the best player on the planet. Not tuff for me

It's a harder decision when your team is less than 10 games behind one of those teams in their conference.

[ClingingMars]

make the freebies?

-Mars

[Spur-Addict]

Oh Pierce, you can't just give up on the play. What a big baby.

[DrHouse]

What a freaking game!

This is why I watch the NBA.

[peskypesky]

LOL Kobe mugs Pierce with no call..

refs have been giving this one to the Lakers for quite some time

[MarHill]

What a freaking game!

This is why I watch the NBA.

This is a good game!

But I think the Spurs-Lakers game in SA was a little bit better!!

:flag:

[MambaJuice2408]

everybody is missing everything..I'm surprised they aren't going into Pau with KG out..Kobe's just jacking up 3's..

EXACTLY. id figure with Kg out everything would either be a post up or Kobe attacking the basket.

Is it just me or do the Lakers never like to win easy?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

amazing the favorable officiating the Lakers are getting on the road in this game but oh well

It's the Lakers

[turiaf for president]

kobe needs to take it to the hole. they dont have garnett in there

[DrHouse]

If the Lakers could make a damn free throw.....

[Allanon]

Nah, they're letting the players play for the most part. At least 5 calls not called in OT so far..going both ways.

Rough OT, at least a foul on each layup so far.

[DrHouse]

I admit Pierce did get mugged on that last play.

But he drew at least 3-4 BS ticky tack fouls in regulation.

[Jloyola]

Win or Lose.... Celtics may starting believing they cant beat a healthy LA team

[HarlemHeat37]

I can't really complain about refs, I've only watched the last 4 minutes of the 4th until now..the only horrible call I saw was KG fouling out..

[peskypesky]

clutch shot from the Baby

[peskypesky]

ok, celtics, you got this if you play smart

[HarlemHeat37]

Win or Lose.... Celtics may starting believing they cant beat a healthy LA team

none of us know if a "healthy" Lakers team exists in June though..

[dirk4mvp]

clutch shot from the Baby

yeah, nice one.

[MambaJuice2408]

SHIT too much suspense

[peskypesky]

please, not another OT

[peskypesky]

do the Lakers foul here?

[DrHouse]

Pierce with some GREAT defense on Kobe.

Kobe's legs must be totally gone because he's not even making an attempt to drive the ball anymore.

[MarHill]

2 big free throws by Odom....

[mystargtr34]

Win or Lose.... Celtics may starting believing they cant beat a healthy LA team

Im pretty sure belief and confidence against LA isnt a problem for Boston.

[Jloyola]

none of us know if a "healthy" Lakers team exists in June though..

i agree.... but playing the Lakers after the lakers playing a back to back road game, w/o bynum has to play with minds a little

[mystargtr34]

Glen Davis has 2 points and 3 rebounds on 1-8 in 20 minutes.

Leon Powe has 10 points 8 boards in 15 minutes.

God damn Doc.

[dirk4mvp]

great rebound, lakers.

[peskypesky]

why did pierce shoot that so quickly?

[Spur-Addict]

Fisher, get up.

[MambaJuice2408]

Put fucking ariza in right now

[HarlemHeat37]

definitely can't disagree that LA is owning Boston so far this year..good sign for them, although we all know regular season wins don't lead to wins when it matters..

Boston should go to Ray Allen here..

[Jloyola]

Pierce with some GREAT defense on Kobe.

Kobe's legs must be totally gone because he's not even making an attempt to drive the ball anymore.

plus he shot looks very short

[turiaf for president]

gaerhaergkkghawh YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[dirk4mvp]

lmao

[MambaJuice2408]

Game OVER

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL what a horrible last shot..that's Doc Rivers for you, he only makes plays look good when the other team melts down on D..

[Shastafarian]

lol Doc is such a horrible coach.

[Banzai]

game baby.

[peskypesky]

what kind of shit was that?

[DazedAndConfused]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a

[turiaf for president]

streak stoppers! =D great game.

[HarlemHeat37]

good clean play at the end..bad shot by Boston..nice win by LA..

[IronMexican]

YES! An i;m getting laid tomorrow! GREAT WEEKEND!!!

[DazedAndConfused]

Fuck Yea!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck Boston

Fuck Boston

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MambaJuice2408]

Cant make the winning shot all the time Ray Allen

[Jloyola]

Lakers stop a 19 game winning streak and a 12 game winning streak!!!


Good Job Lake Show!!!

[MarHill]

I have to give the Lakers credit. They won a big regular season game in Boston.

I have to give them props!!!

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

that wasnt a foul
ray was out of controll

[peskypesky]

Too bad KG wasn't there in OT. But refs took care of that.

[Allanon]

Deja Vu...just like Christmas, Pau blocked Ray Allen for the game.

Props to Pau and Odom for strong finishes. Kobe was cold.

[Bob Lanier]

:rollin at Kobe now claiming Fisher's foul was the smart play.

[mystargtr34]

Good game. Im off for my booty call.

FTL.

[peskypesky]

Gotta give props to Gasol for his D.

[IronMexican]

WOOOO! I am uber pumped! NO FUCKING BYNUM EITHER!

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

AND THE STREAK STOP HERE!!!!
again :toast

[turiaf for president]

kobe was big in the 4th, pau in OT.

[turiaf for president]

WOOOO! I am uber pumped! NO FUCKING BYNUM EITHER!

this was huge for the lakers after the bitter tastes of game 6

[IronMexican]

Got to give props to LO. I promise I wont call you Odumb for 2 weeks.

[Allanon]

Odom with 2 clutch free throws and 20 points in the game.

Plus he stood up to KG again.

[hhml]

OMG NOOOOOOOOOO. I missed the last 5 minutes of overtime cause my stream was behind. DSL went down and right after I got it back up right away and refreshed the game, the game's already over. God this sucks. This was possibly the greatest game this season and I didn't get to watch the end. Damn it! But I'm happy the Lakers won, despite the Celtics being the favorites. This gives the Lakers a lot of confidence.

I'm also thrilled that they are THE only team to break the C's 2 12+ games winning streaks this season right when the Celtics are playing their best game. That's 5-0 on the road trip. Now to Cleveland and see if they break another impressive streak to finish an impressive road trip.

[YellowFever]

:depressed:depressed I had placed $100 on the Lakers exactly a week ago for this game.



I have a bad feeling about this one.

I think you just wasted 100 bucks, Boston Guy....

Of course I'd be ecstatic is you made a hundred tomorrow. :toast

I'm glad you made some bucks!

[Budkin]

Good win Lakers... especially without Bynum.

[Jloyola]

have fun bro, but please, don't get laid "the Kobe way"..please, have mercy on the woman..

Unless you like slutty white girls who enjoy anal from a black mamba!!!

[turiaf for president]

100 bucks says celtics wont lose 5 of the next 7

[DazedAndConfused]

^ hater's reaction to Ray Allen's shot.

[MambaJuice2408]

I have a feeling that this loss will prompt the C's to make a move at the dealine

[turiaf for president]

i still dont know why doc didnt go with powe instead of big baby in OT. he was killing the lakers as usual

[21_Blessings]

Another Celtics streak snapped by the Lakers :lol

Next up: Cleveland's home streak

[DazedAndConfused]

Game of the season right there.

Should the Lakers win it all, you'd have to think this game was the turning point in terms of confidence.

Lakers will be ready for this game and they will bring it. I'd be surprised if the Celts even win by 10. Worst case, the Lakers put a major scare into the Celts.

First off props to the Lakers. No Bynum, missed a shitload of free throws, and playing the 2nd game off a back to back...you guys proved me right. I knew LA was going to fight tooth and nail and that is exactly what they did. That is the final meeting of the year between the two teams. You guys may be playing in June, but the Celts wont be. Again props on the victory.

All good Bostonguy, wish your team the best of luck just because they are your team and you're a classy fan even though I hate the Celtics.

[Killakobe81]

Odom was clutch
kobe hit some daggers in the 4th
Gasol played tough most of the game
Walton played well, Sasha and farmar hit some shots
Defense made plays late

Kobe: I am not scared of your E.T. eyes.

[Ghazi]

I feel like this was a game where the Celtics missed Posey.

Posey could play PF in the closing stretch of the game, a small lineup but he would suffice, especially since the Lakers weren't particularly big with no Bynum.

But they instead had to play Glen frickin Davis? 1/7 shooting I believe, yeahhh...
