Celtics vs Magic, Game 6

[LnGrrrR]

I don't want to see the Celtics get lethargic here. Still 9 minutes left.

[NewJerSpur]

Time for the comeback to defy ALL comebacks.

Nope, wouldn't beat the Sox/Yankees in '04. Nothing can.

Don't think it's going to happen anyways. Celts will put in a few buckets and end up winning by 9 or so.

[DPG21920]

Dwight is going to get one last elbow in. beelea dat

Yeah, just figured I'd throw it out there for a conversational piece, LOL.

Orlando had a great run, but the Celts were the better team this time around. Magic had some chances early in the series but squandered them and Boston slammed the door shut when they needed to.

[NewJerSpur]

Lakers have looked bad (or rather, the Suns have made them look that way), but I rarely bet against them in the Finals (IF they get passed the Suns).

[LnGrrrR]

Can the Lakers count on Farmar?

Who knows? The Lakers and Celtics both thrive on their starting five, have a decent sixth man (Odom/Rasheed) and a few quality bench players (Big Baby and Tony Allen for the Celtics, Brown/Farmer for the Lakers).

Assuming they meet up, should be a good series.

[LnGrrrR]

Hm. Thought that was out on the Celtics. Need to get some points/offensive rebounds to kill the clock. Had some unlucky bounces in the last few minutes.

Edit: I have a love/hate relationship with Rondo's teardrop. Looks pretty, but I like his layups alot more.

[NewJerSpur]

When the Magic have needed a 3 tonight, it hasn't been there.

[AnthonyM]

different game if someone makes a basket for the magic there...now Rondo may have sealed the game...

[DPG21920]

Of course VC is hurt.

[Bob Lanier]

lol Wince

[Shastafarian]

*Vince looks up at the scoreboard*

Coach! My thing hurts! Yeah...the...hamstring, that's it. I can't finish.

[Bob Lanier]

"Paul Pierce continuing to carry the Celtic offense... pretty, pretty offense...

[LakerHater]

Jus what Stern wants........... a classic Boston/L.A. match-up!

[Bob Lanier]

The L.A. crowd would be gone by now.

[LnGrrrR]

Pierce is having a hell of a game. Cmon Phoenix... drag the Lakers series to 7 games. Celtics could use the rest.

[LnGrrrR]

Vince just saw his legacy go down in flames. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Well, that's going to do it for me and my rooting interests in the playoffs. Be interesting how things finish out.

Been fun arguing with you these last few game threads NewJerSpur :toast

[DJ Mbenga]

live by the 3 died by the 3. story of the magic.

Always a pleasure LnGrrrR....hope you and the little one enjoy the Finals. I miss my real team being in it, LOL. Great championship resolve by the Celts.

Props to everyone in the Game Threads, you guys always make it fun.

[hhml]

live by the 3 died by the 3. story of the magic.

Tragic.

[spursfaninla]

I don't understand boston overplaying their starters, especially Pierce. Last game too.

Explain the wisdom in that.

[NewJerSpur]

live by the 3 died by the 3. story of the magic.

It worked last year and for much of this season, but Dwight is going to have to FINALLY develop a short-mid range jumper and the team is going to need one more slasher on the perimeter.

Thanks man! Trust me, I've been pretty much avoiding the Stanley Cup playoffs since the Bruins choked. Rooting for the Blackhawks since that's a friend's team.

Sweet. I was expecting a historic comeback by the Magic. Now Boston is going back to the finals. Lakers better fucking take care of business tomorrow night. You guys win tomorrow, you officially get your shot at payback.

[LakerHater]

We should have a vBookie for which game Pierce fakes an injury!

Too many lost leads this season?

Plus Rondo got a good amount of rest thanks to Nate.

Congrats for the ECF title

And I'm rooting for the Hawks as well :tu

I told you Celtics in 6. :lol There was no way that Rondo, barring injury, was going to crap the bed four games in a row.

Oh LNG, Celts will play in LA Thursday night no matter if it goes 7 or not. Suns are done.

[resistanze]

Vince was happier than Nate.

[LnGrrrR]

I vote for Games 1, 3 and 4. :lol

[lefty]

I can imagine TSN's frontpage tonight

" Carter not even able to beat the Celtics "

[TIMMYD!]

Stern is creaming in his pants right now at the possibility of a Celtics-Lakers Finals.

[Bob Lanier]

Stan Van Gundy's a much better analyst than he is a coach.

[lefty]

Stan Van Gundy's a much better analyst than he is a coach.
Why?

Did he admit that he sucks?

[Bob Lanier]

I like his crusty ebullience.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Vince just saw his legacy go down in flames. :lol

What legacy?

[lefty]

What legacy?
