The PP "injury" was all hype...there's nothing wrong with him...

[baseline bum]

Pierce will have to drag KG kicking and screaming to an O'Brien

:lmao

[ballhog]

Lakers hacking away now.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Boston doing a better job than the Spurs

[ShoogarBear]

The PP "injury" was all hype...there's nothing wrong with him...

Kobe's pissed. He's going to have to have to come back from a major stroke and open heart surgery to top that.

[dbreiden83080]

Fucking awesome game

Pierce is a warrior, strap in for a great 4th

[Tippecanoe]

maybe pierce should exaggerate an injury every game. worked today.

[DazedAndConfused]

Good job Kobe. Way to earn that 1st team all defense by leaving a gimped Pierce wide open for two straight 3's.

Stupid Lakers, making things hard for themselves. Freaking Rajon Rondo is not going to beat you, let him do whatever the hell he wants.

[dbreiden83080]

Pierce will have to drag KG kicking and screaming to an O'Brien

LOL, probably

[Budkin]

Paul Pierce is the man... all heart.

[ballhog]

vbookie looking good. Garnett w/ 20 & 10.

[TampaDude]

V's shot actually went in, but it was after the buzzer...

[DazedAndConfused]

Boston doing a better job than the Spurs

WTF are you talking about. This is Game 1 and they are playing at home. The Spurs blew LA out by 20+ when they played their 1st home game.

LAL typically plays better on the road as the series goes on. Your best chance at beating them is in that 1st home game.

[Lakers_55]

well, not that bad of a 3rd quarter for LA. We gave up a lot of fouls and the game has been going back and forth. Time is ripe to steal one! Let's go Lakers!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe's pissed. He's going to have to have to come back from a major stroke and open heart surgery to top that.

:lol

[TampaDude]

Time for the MAMBA to strike!!!

[Tippecanoe]

walton sucks

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

screw the mamba........ the truth and the big ticket need to cut the snake's head off

[Allanon]

Damn, that's a long drawn out Finals schedule.

[ShoogarBear]

That was a pass. /stupid Laker Fan

[Tippecanoe]

i fucking hate cassell

go home sam

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

what a move by KG

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

LAL typically plays better on the road as the series goes on. Your best chance at beating them is in that 1st home game. :lol
That game was a totally different situation. Spurs were not going to go down 0-3. Gimpy Manu just got hot.
What you fail to see is by comparison, Boston as a unit is showing signs that they can play 48 minutes. Spurs as a unit sucked. They had no killer instinct without Manu leading the way, every one else sucked. Barry tried, but he was utilized pretty late. Spurs went through the motions. Boston has energy. They're doing the hustle plays that we were too old to do.

Even in Game 1, when we were ahead by 20 points in the third, something was off about the teams expressions. They totally gave up in the 4th, not because they wanted to but Spurs seemd like the conceded when their lead was reduced to two by the 2 minute mark. How many steals and TO's did we force on you guys?

The differences in this series is already glaring! :lol

Of course I'm just commenting on what I see now. Boston could choke this game in the 4th, and the point is moot.

[ballhog]

Lakers are going downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[baseline bum]

Gotta give it up to KG for that save! Maybe there's hope for him yet.

[dbreiden83080]

celts got it going, more hustle look like they want it more

[Tippecanoe]

defense

[pooh]

they have more heart

[Tek_XX]

Is the crowd kinda dead for a finals?

[dbreiden83080]

Boston plays great D and is deep, we see that right now

[pooh]

Is the crowd kinda dead for a finals?

no that would be the AT&T Center 'bout now. :) The crowd has been back n forth but it woke up once Pierce came back from the locker room.

[balli]

Lakers are going downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Maybe, but 8 minutes is a lot of time.

[Lakers_55]

C'mon Lakers, don't dig a hole now. This team can be beat in Boston.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

celts got it going, more hustle look like they want it more

Definitely.

[trueD]

Sam I Am putting a hurt on the Lakers :lol

[baseline bum]

Is the crowd kinda dead for a finals?

Nah, bandwagoners yell the loudest (until they're down).

[ShoogarBear]

Even in Game 1, when we were ahead by 20 points in the third, something was off about the teams expressions. They totally gave up in the 4th, not because they wanted to but Spurs seemd like the conceded when their lead was reduced to two by the 2 minute mark. How many steals and TO's did we force on you guys?

The Spurs didn't give up. They were just exhausted. After the Hornets series, they needed a couple days rest for their old legs and never got it, and the plane fiasco in NO was just the cherry on the top.

I hate the Celtics more than anything, but the Lakers really aren't that good, and guys like Gasol and Odom are liable to disappear in the clutch.

[Hank the Tank]

sam i am....ugh...that was shitty.

[baseline bum]

Why is Mark Jackson talking about Garnett on the block? Rondo would go in the low post before KG would ever set foot down there.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Boston plays great D and is deep, we see that right now
Spurs didn't do the hustle plays so much, I remember they played D like they were staving off the impending slaughter...
The body language of the Celts are way different than the Spurs against this squad. It's like they were waiting for a the Kobe Torrent, and hoping they had enough points to weather it.

[ShoogarBear]

Course, KG will give Pau and Odom a run for their money in the disappearing department.

[balli]

Uggh, ugly shot KG, ugly D Sam.

[ballhog]

Is Cassell trying to lose the game????

[baseline bum]

Way to puss out again, KG!!!

[Tek_XX]

no that would be the AT&T Center 'bout now. :) The crowd has been back n forth but it woke up once Pierce came back from the locker room.

Your buildings been quiet for months now mr. pacer fan

[Tippecanoe]

take cassel out of the damn game.

[Hank the Tank]

WTF is Doc Rivers doing???!!! Get Sam Cassell out of the fucking game!

[mavs>spurs2]

Go Celtics!

[ShoogarBear]

Almost as quiet as his book sales.

[Tek_XX]

Boston is made up losers, you have to expect a fold.

[ballhog]

No one on Lakers wants to shoot.

[balli]

Well so far it's lived up to the hype huh?

[baseline bum]

LA's taking this game. Garnett's flat out not a big-game player.

[pooh]

Almost as quiet as his book sales.

wouldn't you like to know....but you don't so there.

[trueD]

Is Cassell trying to lose the game????

I came on here to brag on him and jinxed him instead. That was four bad plays in the span of about 3 minutes, ugh.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The Spurs didn't give up. They were just exhausted. After the Hornets series, they needed a couple days rest for their old legs and never got it, and the plane fiasco in NO was just the cherry on the top.

I hate the Celtics more than anything, but the Lakers really aren't that good, and guys like Gasol and Odom are liable to disappear in the clutch.

I know the Spurs didn't give up. But their body language showed they were too gassed to dive for loose balls by the WCF. (Manu getting taken down by Odom on that one play after the missed three)

Celtics are kinda weird to me, but they have the potential to be a juggernaut.

I think the Lakers are okay, they have sufficient talent around Kobe.

[dbreiden83080]

KG offensive gameplan nomatter what the situation

Weak Fadeaway jumper, one after the other after the other,

Pathetic, this guy can't carry TD's jock

[balli]

No one on Lakers wants to shoot.

Kobe'll be back.

[dbreiden83080]

LA's taking this game. Garnett's flat out not a big-game player.

No he isn't

[ShoogarBear]

wouldn't you like to know....but you don't so there.

"So there"?

With prose like that, can there be any wonder?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

take cassel out of the damn game.

:lol over the hill

[Tek_XX]

wow a mans rebound.

[baseline bum]

Wow, nice box-out, Walton :lol

[trueD]

To me the Celtics look all heart.

Brown with the board smack dab in the middle of 3 purple shirts, whoa

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Rondo

[ShoogarBear]

How did PJ get that rebound?

Gasol and KG in a race to see who can disappear the most.

[baseline bum]

LA's taking this game. Garnett's flat out not a big-game player.

Pierce on the other hand...

[td4mvp21]

Garnett choking I love this :lol

Luke Walton fucking blows.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao

Garnett = Rondo on Offense in the 4th

[ShoogarBear]

KG steppin' up!

[Tek_XX]

Garnett can't hold Duncans junk right now.

[baseline bum]

KG with his 8th miss in a row...

Cs should just bench him in the 4th.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao Ray Allen....

God I feel sorry for Pierce. And I dont' even like Pierce!

[baseline bum]

Col Sanders is fucking pissed!

[trueD]

Lakers looks frustrated and Kobe is basically ineffective against Celts defense.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Celtics are saved by their role players + Pierce . Not their BIG 2.

[Tek_XX]

Pierce on the other hand...

He's a jayhawk, what do you expect?

[TampaDude]

Lakers missing a lot of shots...it's starting to look like the Celtics got this game...

[resistanze]

2005 Kobe.

[ShoogarBear]

The big 3: Pierce, Brown, and Leon Powe.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lakers looks frustrated and Kobe is basically ineffective against Celts defense.

The only time I saw Spurs double on Kobe and force him to take bad jumpers like that and miss , was in game 4, when Manu came to play help defense in crunch time.
Other than that, he was droppign bombs on all our one on one defenders.

[td4mvp21]

Garnett misses again!!!! :lmao

[baseline bum]

4th Quarter Garnett = Beno

[TampaDude]

Lamar to the hole!!!

[ballhog]

PJ sure didn't sell that one.

[dbreiden83080]

KG is going to lose this one for the Celts by himself. Pierce has to take command out there or they will let this one get away

[Lakers_55]

Do or die time now Lakers. Play defense and hit some shots.

[td4mvp21]

I don't want the Lakers to win but on the other hand, I don't want Garnett to get a ring. That choking bitch doesn't deserve one.

[TampaDude]

Bud Light...suck one! :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The big 3: Pierce, Brown, and Leon Powe.

Who wants to see some Scalabrine during garbage time at some point during these Finals...

I think that'd be a mini consolation prize for Bonner fans.

[resistanze]

PP's will to win > KG's will to lose

[trueD]

4th Quarter Garnett = Beno

You mean .... Beno as he was with Spurs, right? :p:

[dbreiden83080]

I don't want the Lakers to win but on the other hand, I don't want Garnett to get a ring. That choking bitch doesn't deserve one.

No big deal, look how he is playing, he will never touch TD's legacy

[baseline bum]

My bad... 4th Quarter Garnett = 4th Quarter Webber

[trueD]

Duh, most of you are still pissed Spurs aren't in the Finals. Get over it! This is a great contest. And don't hate me, I'm only the messenger.

[Tek_XX]

At least the dumbass fans of the NBA get to see that Duncan>>>>>>>>Garnett

[ShoogarBear]

4th Quarter Garnett = 4th Quarter Gasol.

[trueD]

My bad... 4th Quarter Garnett = 4th Quarter Webber

Totally. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

PP's will to win > KG's will to lose

KG has fear of failure.
He also likes the attention from the media sympathizers.

[td4mvp21]

No big deal, look how he is playing, he will never touch TD's legacy

It's not even about TD's legacy anymore. Garnett is a choking bitch. Notice how he's not even showing his trademark shit talking, chest pumping intensity. It's because this is an important game in the fourth quarter, and it's time for his nutsack to shrivel and his bitch ass to choke. He shouldn't have a ring.

[balli]

At least the dumbass fans of the NBA get to see that Duncan>>>>>>>>Garnett

Laughable if they didn't know already.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ray Allen you fucker

[ShoogarBear]

Maybe KG needs to unleash a couple of clutch screams.

[td4mvp21]

The Celtics do have very, very good defense.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Give Celtics role players credit. They're playing great Team defense

[baseline bum]

Why did Kobe pass that!?! Fucking dumbass

[Tek_XX]

wow the celtics are making as many stupid wtf mistakes as we were.

[ballhog]

Wow. Nice block. Oh yeah, it's the Lakers. My bad.

[td4mvp21]

Gasol disappearing too :lol Too bad he didn't do it against the Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

4th Quarter Garnett = 4th Quarter Gasol.

[pooh]

boggles me how these idiots just think they have to go for the three. just drive the hell inside, get your automatic two and maybe you'll get the call. but go for the three when you need it, geez...and they wonder why no one likes basketball anymore.

[trueD]

At least the dumbass fans of the NBA get to see that Duncan>>>>>>>>Garnett

Newsflash! No one is thinking Duncan anymore, think he's baiting his hook with some american cheese right about now.

[resistanze]

Gasol: Any game you can choke I can choke harder! I can choke any game harder than you!
Garnett: No you can't!
Gasol: Yes I can
Garnett: No you can't
Gasol: Yes I caaaaan!

[balli]

:lol
4th Quarter Garnett = 4th Quarter Gasol.

[baseline bum]

WTF? KG makes a clutch play!?!

[balli]

WTF? KG makes a clutch play!?!

Two.

[Tek_XX]

wow

[trueD]

THE SLAM JAM by KG.

[ballhog]

Nice tip in Garnett.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Booya>............

[baseline bum]

WTF? Garnett again?

[trueD]

Where's Kobe?

[trueD]

Kobe, 4 points in the 4th quarter...if that isn't a choke job then I don't know what is.

[baseline bum]

Wow.. KG's a badass, calling for the ball when the game is over!

[ShoogarBear]

Gasol: Any game you can choke I can choke harder! I can choke any game harder than you!
Garnett: No you can't!
Gasol: Si puedo
Garnett: No you can't
Gasol: Si puedo!

Fixed.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Phil will make better defensive adjustments for the next game.

:lmao

[TampaDude]

This one is OVAH!!!

[Hank the Tank]

i love all the kg hate goin on.

well looks like it's gonna be 1-0 boston.

[Lakers_55]

well, Celtics have this game won. better luck next game for us.

[baseline bum]

How come Boston fans don't chant MVP for Kobe anymore? Sorry motherfuckers don't deserve a title.

[resistanze]

Fixed.
:lol

[ShoogarBear]

WTF? KG makes a clutch play!?!


4th Quarter KG > 4th Quarter Gasol, I guess.

[DazedAndConfused]

Well a comedy of errors from LA tonight. This game was definitely theirs for the taking but poor play from the MVP and some horrible substitutions from Phil put the game out of reach towards the end.

LA can play better than this, and I expect a stronger effort in Game 2. All we need is a split.

[mVp]

The Lakers are making KG look good in crunch time.

[resistanze]

What's Kobe shooting for the game? Under 40%?

[Tek_XX]

i love all the kg hate goin on.

well looks like it's gonna be 1-0 boston.

They're 1-0, not because of Garnett

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe, 4 points in the 4th quarter...if that isn't a choke job then I don't know what is.

Kobe doesn't choke, but he does force hsi game when it's not there. Celts did a good job on him tonight. He got hot in the third, but when I looked he had like 8 -19 coming into the 4th.

Lakers lucked out after the WCF.

[ShoogarBear]

KG coming in at the end after the hard work has been done.

[balli]

Fouling? This things done.

[pooh]

WTF are the Lakers thinking? Not even fouling

[ShoogarBear]

What's Phil's record when he loses the first game of a series?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's Kobe shooting for the game? Under 40%?

Doc Rivers > Pop ?? :wow

I'm seeing a better game plan against Kobe.

[Hank the Tank]

Kobe, 4 points in the 4th quarter...if that isn't a choke job then I don't know what is.

no kidding. the KG hate was getting pretty ridiculous.

[TampaDude]

Ballgame...

[ballhog]

Lakers finding out how tough it is to win first game on the road.

[DazedAndConfused]

Kobe's is fine. He typically has one horrible game each series, good that he gets it out of his system now.

The Celtics did what I thought they might do, protect their home court. But LA will keep coming at you, they always do. We'll see if the Celtics can keep up in Game 2.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's Phil's record when he loses the first game of a series?

Most recent one I can think of was Detroit 2004, did he ever lose the first game with the Bulls?

[mVp]

Why to call a TO? is there a 10 point play I didn't hear about?

This game's over...

[ShoogarBear]

Man, just think what it's going to be like when Pierce gets hie leg amputated tomorrow, then comes out for game 2 on a prosthesis.

[ballhog]

Doc Rivers > Pop ?? :wow

I'm seeing a better game plan against Kobe.

Maybe if Spurs had homecourt.....dare to dream.

[ShoogarBear]

KG was just shooting some shots. No surprises there.

[Budkin]

:lmao Fuck the Lakers! Losers.

[Tek_XX]

Doc Rivers > Pop ?? :wow

I'm seeing a better game plan against Kobe.

I'm seeing more active players and yes pop sucks.

[JamStone]

Kobe, 4 points in the 4th quarter...if that isn't a choke job then I don't know what is.

It's all part of Kobe's elaborate plan.

[balli]

Most recent one I can think of was Detroit 2004, did he ever lose the first game with the Bulls?

Jazz in 98

[DazedAndConfused]

Kobe better hand back that MVP trophy if he plays another game like this.

[pooh]

Lakers missed too many shots when it counted. That is what did them in. Now the legend of Paul Pierce begins.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe's is fine. He typically has one horrible game each series, good that he gets it out of his system now.



He had all decent games in the Spurs series. Celtics are playing team D against Kobe.

[resistanze]

Kobe's is fine. He typically has one horrible game each series, good that he gets it out of his system now.

The Celtics did what I thought they might do, protect their home court. But LA will keep coming at you, they always do. We'll see if the Celtics can keep up in Game 2.
What should be worrisome is that Kobe hasn't played well against the Celtics in all 3 games they've played.

[Budkin]

Most recent one I can think of was Detroit 2004, did he ever lose the first game with the Bulls?

Yes, 1993 ECF against the Knicks. They went up 2-0. Bulls won the next 4.

[ballhog]

Kobe's is fine. He typically has one horrible game each series, good that he gets it out of his system now.

The Celtics did what I thought they might do, protect their home court. But LA will keep coming at you, they always do. We'll see if the Celtics can keep up in Game 2.

I love the way you rationalize.

[Hank the Tank]

They're 1-0, not because of Garnett

leads his team with 24 pts and 13 rebounds....so idk about that.

granted everyone knows he isnt a good 4th qtr performer....yet he done pretty well tonight. that is what PP and ray are for anyway.

[Allanon]

Got damn Celtics got that one. Oh well. Lakers missed wide open shots, they gotta knock those down. No weak stuff in the paint either, man up guys.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'm seeing more active players and yes pop sucks.

Pop fucked up in game 1 against Kobe, for sure.

[balli]

Lakers missed too many shots when it counted. That is what did them in. Now the legend of Paul Pierce begins.


A few rarely open ones too.

[ShoogarBear]

Yes, 1993 ECF against the Knicks. They went up 2-0. Bulls won the next 4.

He had to have lost a first game in 94 and 95 with the Bulls.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yes, 1993 ECF against the Knicks. They went up 2-0. Bulls won the next 4.

Well I'm sure that will comfort the Laker fans, since Kobe is their MJ...:lol

[dbreiden83080]

Wow.. KG's a badass, calling for the ball when the game is over!

:lmao:lmao

[Bob Lanier]

:lol at Pierce pulling a Dwyane Wade.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Lakers played a pretty horrid 4th quarter, which is unusual for them since they typically close games out well.

I'm not going to worry about this series after Game 1. So many adjustments will be made, I trust Phil.

[DazedAndConfused]

LMAO at Spur fan getting all excited. It's Game 1, all LA needs to do is split. I know they are going to come out and put up a better performance than that in Game 2.

They did against your team.

[baseline bum]

Celtics just beat a team they were supposed to beat.

[trueD]

He had all decent games in the Spurs series. Celtics are playing team D against Kobe.

Nice concept. :lol

Defense wins ___________________.

It's surprising that Kobe wasn't able to break away from his man. Seems Kobe himself isn't exempt from FINALS jitters.

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Shoogarbear did you hear that Phil is 41-0 when he wins his first game of the round?

[dbreiden83080]

LMAO at Spur fan getting all excited. It's Game 1, all LA needs to do is split. I know they are going to come out and put up a better performance than that in Game 2.

They did against your team.

Are the Laker Boards really this bad??

[trueD]

A few rarely open ones too.
:lol At first I thought there a typo here. That was classic.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

ballijuana - your sig is incredible! I have driven I70 from Salina to Denver a number of times - one of my favourite stetches of road anywhere in the world - and that looks like the high desert about 100kms east about of Salina. Incredible vistas!

:lol @ the Fakers. I hope Kobe gets swept (although that is HIGHLY unlikely).

[mVp]

LMAO at Spur fan getting all excited. It's Game 1, all LA needs to do is split. I know they are going to come out and put up a better performance than that in Game 2.

Personally, I'm not excited at all... I couldn't care less about this game, I just watched it 'cause there's nothing else on TV :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Defense wins ___________________.

It's surprising that Kobe wasn't able to break away from his man. Seems Kobe himself isn't exempt from FINALS jitters.

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope Kobe reverts to 2004 Kobe. Gasol shoots 53 percent, but ony gets 4 touches. Kobe avgs 33 shots with 18 PPG. :lol

[baseline bum]

STFU Stuart Scott, hyping Pierce's return like it was Willis Reed's. The only comeback I've seen that's even close to that is Baron Davis in game 6 against Dallas.

[ShoogarBear]

Are the Laker Boards really this bad??

He wouldn't know. He's a Rockets fan.

[balli]

Wow Oz. Thanks. I use miles, but more or less, yeah. You know your Utah.

[trueD]

I hope Kobe reverts to 2004 Kobe. Gasol shoots 53 percent, but ony gets 4 touches. Kobe avgs 33 shots with 18 PPG. :lol
They really shouldn't be moving away from Gasol in the 4th, don't know what is up with that.

[timvp]

KG looks petrified. :lol

I'm honestly not too impressed with either of these teams. I'd say the 2006 Mavs would beat either one.

[ShoogarBear]

KG looks petrified. :lol


What's really funny is that he still will probably win Finals MVP if the Celtics win, because of the sentiment factor.

[timvp]

What's really funny is that he still will probably win Finals MVP if the Celtics win, because of the sentiment factor.Celtics winning with Pierce being named MVP might be the only outcome I can live with. Pierce drama queened it tonight but he's the lesser of all the evils in this series.

[InRareForm]

KG looks petrified. :lol

I'm honestly not too impressed with either of these teams. I'd say the 2006 Mavs would beat either one.

i dunno, posey would lock up dirky again, :lmao

[trueD]

LMAO at P-Jax saying he didn't understand the question: Did Pierce coming back into the game have an emotional effect? What....Lakers weren't disappointed that Pierce wasn't injured? Oh, I guess he wouldn't say that.

[Borosai]

I see this series like the 2006 finals between the Mavs and Heat. I didn't want the Heat and Shaq to win, but it was better than seeing the Mavs win. The Celtics are the lesser of the two evils in this case.

[ShoogarBear]

Fock the Celtics.

[monosylab1k]

STFU Stuart Scott, hyping Pierce's return like it was Willis Reed's. The only comeback I've seen that's even close to that is Baron Davis in game 6 against Dallas.

:lmao you just ripped Stu Scott for making a totally ridiculous statement, and then followed it with an even more ridiculous statement.

[dbreiden83080]

Stuart Scott is a clown and KG just had maybe the worst pretty good statistical game i ever saw. I am trying to root for the Celts here because i hate the Lakers but KG getting a ring and finals MVP, i don't know.

[mVp]

STFU Stuart Scott, hyping Pierce's return like it was Willis Reed's. The only comeback I've seen that's even close to that is Baron Davis in game 6 against Dallas.

But Davis was actually injured, wasn't he?

Pierce just did a great acting job. I hope he pulls something like this again in the Staples Center, Jack Nicholson and the rest of Hollywood would be proud.

[dbreiden83080]

But Davis was actually injured, wasn't he?

Pierce just did a great acting job. I hope he pulls something like this again in the Staples Center, Jack Nicholson and the rest of Hollywood would be proud.

I don't think he was acting. The med staff was being overly cautious not wanting him to put any weight on it.

[baseline bum]

:lmao you just ripped Stu Scott for making a totally ridiculous statement, and then followed it with an even more ridiculous statement.

Blow me. Davis was playing on one leg.

[baseline bum]

I don't think he was acting. The med staff was being overly cautious not wanting him to put any weight on it.

Pierce said he heard a pop when he went down.

[ShoogarBear]

Pierce said he heard a pop when he went down.

That was just KG slamming his fist into his chest again.

[mVp]

That was just KG slamming his fist into his chest again.

ROFLMAO

[TampaDude]

Okay...the Celtics got their 1...Lakers got the next 4...Lakers in 5...

[DazedAndConfused]

Lakers 32-77
Boston 32-76

LAL basically got outplayed the entire 2nd half. The two straight 3's from Pierce was the turning point IMHO, all caused by lazy defense from Kobe. He really had about as bad a game as you can have on both ends of the floor. That being said, I don't count Kobe out ever.

It's a bit strange how this game mirrored the previous series with DET. In that game DET was hanging in there the whole way through until the 4th when the Celtics pulled away and won by I believe 10 or so points. They came back in Game 2 and played a very spirited and high energy game and stole one on the road.

I expect LAL to come out in a similar fashion and steal Game 2.

Blow me. Davis was playing on one leg.

Davis' comeback was in a first round game, against a team that had already given up. Davis coming back provided zero emotional boost because the Warriors were gonna kick the Mavs ass regardless of whether he came back or not. Comparing it to Willis Reed might be the single dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum.

remind me again what the Spurs have done lately? Oh thats right they were stomped by the Lakers.

we won in 2007, when was the last time the lakers won?

an NBA conspiracy thread has been dug up again?

why? :lol

there's a great article over at 82games.com written by the founder who himself did a play by play analysis of the Sacramento/LA Lakers WCF game 6 that Donaghy claimed was one that the NBA pushed the refs to help the Lakers win.

I recommend that anyone who still believes in conspiracies by Stern and the NBA front office reads it.
