Game 3 only confirms my belief Celtics are better team.

Lakers barely pull a win out when Ray Allen goes 0-13, Paul Pierce plays like dog shit....Rasheed doesn't shoot well....

KG was on point tonight.

The Celts are a better team, even though the Lakers have better pieces.

Kobe chucking shots, Lakers stacked team still carries him so he can feel like MJ, no surprises here.

i don't think ray allen recovers from this and pierce has yet to show up. lakers in 6.

[MiamiHeat]

No moral victories bro..

Ray Allen is a rhythm shooter. He needed some time to get into his flow in LA.

now, they switch cities back to Boston, he probably celebrated his record from Game 2 too much, who knows?

Ray will get back into his rhythm.

If Ray only has a subpar game, and not a 0-13 game, Celtics win..

Kobe's a chucker who thrives on shitty defenses.

He won't have any big games vs Boston without hogging the ball, using up a ton of Laker possessions, shot attempts, etc.

[Smooth Criminal]

If the Celtics win the MVP goes to Kobe being their best player today. If LA wins the title it's between Fish, KG, and Ray.

[Medvedenko]

Odom actually showed up and Ray Allen is streaky, and he was off balance and laid an egg. Too bad, however PP has not showed up and Rondo was silenced.

[LnGrrrR]

Lakers are a better team right now. You know why?

They're up 2-1.

[midnightpulp]

Lakers got this. Celts have a lot of heart and grit, but just don't have the talent to match up with LA.

Looks like the cholos, cholas, and fat beaners will have something else to celebrate this year again besides that monthly welfare check.

You realise a lot of those "chucks" come from the Lakers being unable to get into their offense then giving it to Kobe at 24+ feet to bail them out with 5 seconds on the shotclock right?

2-1 talks. moral victories don't mean anything if they still lose the game.

[MiamiHeat]

Pierce hasn't shown up this series yet.

When he does, Celtics got this.

I don't think this series is over, by any means. I'll be astounded if this series doesn't go at least 6 games.

True, i don't see the Lakers winning all 3 games in Boston, that would be the only way this series doesn't go at least 6 games... This series is going to 7, IMO.

Yet your conclusion is that the Celtics are a better team. You're a fucking nutjob.

Celtics in 7.Hey great story, bruh. You forgot to mention that the Celtics starting 5 still shot the ball better than L.A., even with Shuttlesworth's baker's dozen. Bottom line, idiot, is the Lakers won a road finals game in Boston with their starters shooting .384 and Kobe shooting 10-29, lmao.

Oh yeh, suddenly, the Lakers are "stacked" again. Put your reverse psychological bullshit babble away - you're see through.

[Chillen]

Celtics have to take care of their next 2 home games, they are both must win games. If they do that than they will take a 3-2 lead to LA and have 2 chances in LA to win the NBA championship. If the Lakers win 1 more in Boston the series is probably over, Boston must win the next 2 games.

Yup...I expected LA to steal one in Boston...well, Game 3 was it...the Celtics must win both Game 4 and Game 5 or they're done.

[TD 21]

Lakers in six. Celtics win game four, then lose games five and six.

The Lakers are the better team. They're controlled two of the three games and even the one they weren't in control of, they were still in position to win inside five minutes. That's telling. It's a struggle just for the Celtics to stay in games, let alone take or maintain leads.

[cobbler]

Celts lose at HOME when the Lakers starting 4 other than Fish shoot a combined 19-53 (that's right, Kobe not the only one who shot bad), KG shoots 11-16, and NRob/TA/BBD shoot 9-13.

Really not that hard to twist the stats both ways.

I have no idea how this series is going to turn out. I was hoping Boston would win the first game at home and split the other two. I personally think the series will still go 7 games, but Boston HAS to win the next two at home for that to happen.

[lefty]

Horrible, horrible decision making from Boston during the last minute.

1st of all, they are down 3 with 50 seconds to go with plenty of time; Rivers draws a 3 pt play for Ray; that was a bad decision because Ray was COLD; he was already 0-200 at this point; Doc was expecting him to hit that shot?

Then a few possessions later, Rondo has the ball, Pierce comes of a screen on the left side, he is open for a 3, but they get the ball to Allen who goes for a 2 and misses the layup



Again, What - the - Fuck

The reality doesn't fit the story they had ready BEFORE The Finals started. Artest is Media's fall guy. To Media Ron is: the N word, he's persona non gratis in NY., and he's ripe for the pickin'. But, he won't follow their written script. He shoved Durant into a hole, then put the Suns in on top, now he's draggin' Pierce kickin' & screamin' to that same hole.

For the remainder of the game, the C's never got within 3 points.

Pierce had a good game by the numbers he put up in Game 1. But I think that's a case where box scores can be a little deceptive... he got it going when Ron rested and a lot of those points were in quasi-garbage time. It wasn't quite garbage time as Boston made a run to almost get it to single digits, but it wasn't a fully competitive 4th Q either.

[mingus]

Lakers are the better team. they should be up 3-0. their tansition defense and defense on Ray Allen (they overlap to an xtent) in game 2 was really bad, and it cost them the game.

[IronMexican]

So is rioting... :lmao

I hope this series doesn't turn out like the Spurs series 2 years ago where Manu went off for one game from behind the arc and we still lost the series in 5 games. That is what concerns me about this Celtic team verses 08. It seems that the players aren;t on the same page offensively like they were 2 years ago. I guess you can credit Artest for pretty much making Pierce a non-factor so far.

the only difference is that Ray Allen is healthy and shouldn't be having 0/14 shooting games, while Manu was injured.

i think they are on the same page offensively. the biggest difference b/w this team and '08 is KG's decline. Ray Allen has gone through some huge slumps before. in the '08 playoffs that was one of the main reasons they had such trouble with an inferior team like the Hawks. what helped balance that out was you knew KG was going to produce. they also had Posey, who was better than Tony Allen. but the main diffference is KG's decline. Celtics are up 2-1 in this series if KG is in his prime.

[Killakobe81]

You know it. I know it, but, Media won't cite it.

IDK why cully ...

Magic pointed it out (and he sucks in the booth)

But jon barry says Pierce is just mising open shots ...and he gives Ron a "little credit"

Thing is Ron is keeping him off the block and making him earn all his shots and forces him not to be lax with the ball or ronron is rippin' that shit out!

[Giuseppe]

Yep, Artest is making Pierce delegate to others his responsibility. This partial "no mas" may even be subconscious. Artest is dispassionate in his work against Pierce. That's the impact of Jackson's coaching: "whip 'em, but, don't lord it over them." Same with Boston's knowledge and exploitation of Bryant. They never talk about it in public, they just live it.

Don't give anything away.

[Agloco]

I've gotta admit, Phil's done a good job of medicating Artest this year. He's been a good boy.

[mingus]

Pierce reminds me of Billups and Hamilton when the Spurs played them in '05. i don't remember them ever giving the Spurs credit defensively. in the end, it was Bowen's block on Billups that won the series.

What happens if Kobe had a big game?

38 pts on 48% shooting, that's as great as he can get here. that's it.

so he loses because

1) he's a ball hog who takes his teammates out of the game

2) the Celtics will not play that shitty again

The Lakers were massive favorites coming into the series, go look at the Vegas lines..they were also a massive favorite to win game 7, the Celtics were +300 something IIRC..

Why are retards citing Vegas odds that are statistically almost always significantly off for NBA Finals? rofl.

[HarlemHeat37]

Vegas odds are a much, much better measure than ESPN's panel(LOOOOOOOL)..using ESPN's "experts" is one of the worst arguments I've ever seen..:rollin ESPN "experts"? LOL..

Vegas odds are usually quality..

Are you actually going to tell me that the Lakers weren't the heavy favorites coming into the series?..

[EHL]

No one looks at Vegas odds for favorites, that's a betting line that no one particularly intelligent takes seriously.

[HarlemHeat37]

The favorite to win the title or win an entire series is extremely accurate, it's not a 1-game situation..I don't know how anybody can deny that..the fact that you're trying to argue that LA wasn't the clear favorite in this series is sad, it doesn't take anything away from the Lakers, they still won..I don't know why you're trying to deny this..

[EHL]

Because the reality is that the clear favorite isn't defined by Vegas odds, it's defined by the media, fans, etc. And pretty much everyone had this series going the full distance, 6 games at minimum. I'm sorry this concept has escaped you.

[MiamiHeat]

again, no Kendrick Perkins and the Lakers SQUEEKED out a win. My Prediction was for a HEALTHY Boston team

Kendrick Perkins injury gave the Lakers the championship, and even then, they barely beat a Perkins-less team.

Boston is the better team, sucks that they lose their starting C in the Finals. Lakers are the luckiest team in the world. They cakewalk through injured teams in 09 and now 10.

[MiamiHeat]

If Kendrick didn't get injured, Boston is celebrating in LA tonight.
