:nope

[NewJerSpur]

Kobe doesn't deserve to celebrate a title with the same teammates and organization he threw beneath the Buss (Jerry) prior to the start of '08. Celts won in Detroit, they can win AT LEAST 1 in L.A. and finish the Lakers off in Boston if it comes down to it.

[LakerHater]

Well it's a race to 4 and Boston has 2!!! http://db.funformobile.com/images/smiles/happy.gif (javascript:emoticon('form_text',':-D')) http://db.funformobile.com/images/smiles/stupid.gif (javascript:emoticon('form_text',':excit:'))

I guess i'd rather see Kobe get another ring, than to see KG ever see his first.

It's a lose - lose.

Hopefully the Celtics solved THAT problem with those 2 wins in Auburn Hills,
and this series won't even go back to Boston

[Mr. Body]

Definitely would rather Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rondo, and Doc win another than that douchebag team the Lakers with two of the biggest assholes in all of sports in the organization.

[timvp]

I can't stand both teams. Hopefully Tim Donaghy comes out with some juicy info that shuts down the NBA until the start of next season :hungry:

I can't handle Lakerfans celebrating a championship...


Plus, if the Celts win, nothing changes because they already have more championships than anyone else.


If the Lakers win they can tie the Celts. Lakerfan will be even more insufferable.


If the Lakers lose, they have a losing record in the finals :lmao

[whottt]

Why don't you Lakers rooters just say, I want Kobe Bryant to have as many finals MVP's as Tony...


I am so sick of Kobe too...it'll be a living hell if he actually win a championship.

[jag]

Agreed!! Paul deserves at least one! I've been a HUGE fan of his for a long time!

Can't stand the guy...his stabbing might have been the only thing he hasn't faked since he's been in Boston.

[Trainwreck2100]

i wish there was a way that both teams could lose, but i find myself rooting for the celts, cause jackson is a douche

[whottt]

Oh and the Celts won't repeat either...


IF the Lakers win it could possibly lead to a dynasty...and that would be the worst thing that could happen.

[whottt]

Besides...


Doc Rivers was a Spur...and he was one of the best players in 95...you'd have had to have been a Spurfan then to know that htough.

[ShoogarBear]

F the Celtics.

[ATXSPUR]

The casual fans and the media win either way so this really is a lose lose series. However, Boston winning is better. They already have the most titles. Plus we are still in the discussion for franchise of the decade if the Lakers don't win another one. We're up 4-3 right now...if laker ties their 3 peat is a tiebreaker imo.

[ShoogarBear]

You guys have been lucky because this board is relatively isolated from Celtic Fan. Believe me, there is no bigger douchebag in the sports universe than Celtic Fan.

It's a tough call, but in the end my Primal Hate wins out.

If the Celtics win the championship, it gives all those people who still believe him to be the better player than TD a window of opportunity - as in:

"see what happens when he gets a good supporting cast, he wins championships. KG
4 #1 PF lol"

God, i hope that doesn't happen.
Add in Ray Allen, and it's a disaster.

On the flip side, Kobe winning would be mind-numbingly frustrating, but it is the lesser of two evils. Just.

kg had a more than satisfactory supporting cast in 2004. TD > KG for life.

[ShoogarBear]

Unless Kobe takes Bynum on an off-season trip to Colorado, the Lakers are going to win a title sometime in the next three years. The Great Collusionist has assured that.

The Celtics will never win one if they don't this year. I'd rather have just one of them get a ring than both.

If the Lakers win a title now it increases the likleyhood they'll win 2, not 1. Therefore it's still better for Spurfan if the Celtics win.


Plus, after this year Kobe'll be in his 30's.


Nice try though :tu

If you told me that the Lakers and Celtics are going to win 2 championships over the next 5 years, I rather have it be the Lakers winning 2 than the Celtics and Lakers winning one each.

At least then I'll have one direction in which I can direct my hate with satisfaction.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Doc's a moron, but I don't understand why people don't want KG and PP to get a ring... do you hate Ray Allen that much??? :lol

[whottt]

So tell me Shoog...all these titles Phil has won being an incomparable smugass in the process, trampling upon the city of SA as he did so...they hurt a little less because of the ole Knicks connection didn't they?


I never got it...now I finally do.

[ShoogarBear]

Phil never kept ABA records from being including in the official NBA records after the merger.

[ShoogarBear]

Chick Hearn never fought Terry Stembridge.

[ShoogarBear]

Jamaal Wilkes never led a pack of Lakers swinging their fists into the HemisFair Arena crowd.

[ShoogarBear]

And Laker Fan never broke into Wilt Chamberlain's house and took a shit in his bed.

[whottt]

I know I've always said to myself, self, if there's one thing you can say about Phil Jackson, it's that he never stuck an asterisk on anyone elses achievement :tu :rolleyes :td

True...if the Universe needed a douchebag, it'd use LakerFan.

[timvp]

CelticTalk is thataway, garnetttt ---------------->

Just admit you want to hear this phrase repeated for the rest of eternity: "KG was an amazing player who was just as good and just as clutch as Duncan. The only thing that seperated KG and Duncan was KG's supporting cast. The one year KG had a decent supporting cast, he single-handedly carried that team to a championship. That alone proved he's Duncan's equal and better than bigmen who couldn't do that such as David Robinson and Patrick Ewing."

If the Celtics win, that will be KG's legacy :pctoss

Then again, I hate Kobe more than any player so I can't root for the Lakers either. If a team has to win it, all I can do is wait to celebrate that one of these two teams lost. Guaranteed KG or Kobe tears is the only reason this Finals is watchable.

[whottt]

I can live with the Lakers winning a championship

:td




No one thinks KG is as good as Duncan....and I'm sick of hearing about Kobe.

[timvp]

No one thinks KG is as good as DuncanJust watch what happens if the Celtics win and the east coast media starts in on KG's greatness. He could possibly even surpass Duncan.

To the east coast media, KG didn't even exist until this season. You think they watched T'Wolves games? ROFL.

[shelshor]

But doesn't most of the east coast media still regard the Celts as Pierce's team?
And we'll then get a huge dose of how great Pierce is?

[timvp]

But doesn't most of the east coast media still regard the Celts as Pierce's team?
And we'll then get a huge dose of how great Pierce is?From what I can tell, I think they see it as KG's team. KG can continue choking and I think he'll still get the MVP.

Perhaps the best case scenario is the Celtics winning with Pierce getting MVP and KG missing the flight back to Boston for Game 6.

[Blackjack]

I've always thought the Spurs were alot like those old Celtics teams, so you'd think it would be easier to root for the franchise but.....

You're telling me that I'm going to have to watch that 7' chihuahua I've dubbed "The Big Fugazi" win a title? I think I just threw-up in my mouth. All I'm saying is, Pierce better win the damn M.V.P!

Watching Kobe, Gasol, Phil, Garnett, Allen, win a title is an absolute lose/lose situation. Put a gun to my head and I guess I'd have to say Celtics, because I think there's a good shot it's one and done.

If the Lakers win, The second half of the decade could look alot like the first half. So here's hoping that Kobe goes in the tank, throws his teammates under the bus, and that those young Lakers end up with some deep emotional "Maverick Scars", that never allow them to fulfill their potential.

On second thought.... Maybe California finally falls into the Pacific while they're playing in L.A.

A man can dream can't he???

[Kori Ellis]

Whottt is calling out too many people for being on the fence. Here ... I'm not on the fence at all.

Reasons I don't want the Celtics to win:

1. They are being shoved down our throat as the new "America's team."

2. People will once again start saying KG is as good as Timmy.

3. KG slapped Tim in the head and told him Happy Mother's Day.

4. Ray Allen bitches like a wuss about Bowen and Kobe gives Bowen respect.

5. KG didn't get suspended for intentionally pushing a ref. Tim Duncan got suspended for accidentally pushing Jack Nies. Tim Duncan got thrown out of a game for smiling.

6. Paul Pierce tried to chalk up gang signs to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (or something else lame like Blood, Sweat and Tears).

7. KG commercials.

8. "The Big 3" in Boston is Bird, Parrish and McHale.

9. Ray Allen is a wuss. Oh yeah ... I mentioned that already. But Ray Allen is a frickin' wuss. I don't care how many good things I find out about him or how much charity work he does.

10. St. Patrick's Day isn't that fun.

I agree with all of that but Lakers in 7.

Boston just seems like it would be more of a short-term agony, and the Lakers would be a 5 to 6 year nightmare.

Having said that, I actually feel myself pulling for the Lakers during the games just on the pure hatred I feel for Garnett, and Allen.

I never thought I'd see the day that I wished it was Detroit in the finals. :bang

I agree with everything......but Phil winning again trumps all those for me. I can't stand Phill winning another and him going down as the best coach ever surpassing Red.

As much as I want Kobe to get his without Shaq.

I still believe majority will say TD is better than KG and if Pierce keeps playing he'll be MVP.

Seriously...Lakerfan practices a level of douchebaggery so advanced, that nothing else is even in the same stratosphere of douchebaggery. The idea of it winning a championship trumps any other negatives there might be in any other way about any other things, not just in basketball, but in the entire space-time continuum.


LakerFan is the Babe Ruth of douchebags...even if you find someone who hits as good...there's still the pitching.

I'm with Shoog, timvp and Kori on this one. KG will again be compared to TD and the way the Celts have been pushed down our throats all season long makes me hate them with passion (Gatorade commercial anyone?)



There's not a chance anyone is going to seriously consider KG as better than Duncan. Duncan won that race long ago.

But if Kobe wins I can guarantee you people are going to say he is better than Duncan. Hell, they say it already.




Furthermore...Kori, timvp and ShoogarBear do not all have the same stance...


timvp is a staunch advocate of fence riding...he sincerely believes it does not make a difference. Inspite of all the past shit between the Spurs and the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Lakers...it's like it never happend for timvp. And he seems to believe that somehow the Celtics have done anything close to what the Lakers have done..


Kori is jocking the Lakers entirely out of loyalty to Bruce Bowen..


ShoogarBear hates the Celtics from his days as a KnickFan.


Me? I'm the only one that can be trusted here...as an admitted casual follower of the Lakers at times...obviously something must have changed to put me totally in the corner of the anti-Laker movement.

And I am very forthcoming with the reasons why when asked...


Bottomline is that it will be far more damaging and painful for the Spurs if the Lakers win...and any real Spurfan will be rooting for the Celts against LA. IT's just that simple.

[timvp]

But if Kobe wins I can guarantee you people are going to say he is better than Duncan. Hell, they say it already. You just owned yourself, Laker Fan.

People either hate or love Kobe. Those who hate him will hate him even if he wins the next ten championships. People who love Kobe already think he's better than Duncan. Kobe is a lost cause either way. He can't convince the people who hate him to like him and the people who like him will like him no matter what (or who [with or without consent]) he does.

KG retiring a ringless biotch is important. That said, you're right. I don't care either way. I'm pissed that there is no good outcome but I'm at least thankful that either Kobe or KG will be crying within the next couple weeks.

[timvp]

And for the record, I hate these Lakers more than the 2000-2003 Lakers. At least those Lakers were physical and Shaq is more respectable than Kobe. This Kobe led group of soft azz Lakers is impossible to respect. These Lakers might be the team I hate more than any team in history.

The only player on the team that isn't soft is their six-foot-nothing point guard who has fvcked the Spurs out of two possible titles with thanks to the refs unable to make the correct call with less than a second to go.

:pctoss

[GrandeDavid]

That little peeing dude is old school.

I hope the Lakers get crushed.

[GrandeDavid]

Whottt is calling out too many people for being on the fence. Here ... I'm not on the fence at all.

Reasons I don't want the Celtics to win:

1. They are being shoved down our throat as the new "America's team."

2. People will once again start saying KG is as good as Timmy.

3. KG slapped Tim in the head and told him Happy Mother's Day.

4. Ray Allen bitches like a wuss about Bowen and Kobe gives Bowen respect.

5. KG didn't get suspended for intentionally pushing a ref. Tim Duncan got suspended for accidentally pushing Jack Nies. Tim Duncan got thrown out of a game for smiling.

6. Paul Pierce tried to chalk up gang signs to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (or something else lame like Blood, Sweat and Tears).

7. KG commercials.

8. "The Big 3" in Boston is Bird, Parrish and McHale.

9. Ray Allen is a wuss. Oh yeah ... I mentioned that already. But Ray Allen is a frickin' wuss. I don't care how many good things I find out about him or how much charity work he does.

10. St. Patrick's Day isn't that fun.
Lakers in 7 (or something happens that they both can lose).

OK, now that was damn convincing. I'm glad I'm not even watching the Finals! :lol

I guess I'll now be able to see positives and negatives regardless of who wins.

[rascal]

Celtics all the way. LA has been the biggest torn in San Antonios side since the 1980s. Why would anyone want them to win.

I also like Doc > Phil Jackson
and KG > Kobe

[21_Blessings]

Lakers winning in 6. Shut the fuck up OP

[21_Blessings]

Learn to repeat.

[MannyIsGod]

I gotta root for Boston. There is no bigger douche in the NBA than one Philip Jackson. He rode MJ - FUCKING JORDAN - to six titles then KOBE AND SHAQ to 3 more. I don't want to hear shit about this fuck tard anymore.

I hate Ray Allen, but Ray Allen >>>> Phil. Plus I like Rondo and Doc a lot. Nah, fuck Philip - go Celtics.

[Kori Ellis]

Kori is jocking the Lakers entirely out of loyalty to Bruce Bowen..



... and because I don't like KG. And because I don't hate the Lakers like you guys do. I lived in L.A. for the majority of my life. Even if I don't love them like the Spurs, I don't hate them with any venom either.

[Kori Ellis]

Bottomline is that it will be far more damaging and painful for the Spurs if the Lakers win...and any real Spurfan will be rooting for the Celts against LA. IT's just that simple.

Wrong.

If the Celtics beat down the Lakers, it makes the Spurs look even worse. It makes them look like they couldn't even beat a wussy team that lost to the Celtics.

At least if the Lakers win, we can say .. Oh well, Spurs lost to the 2008 Champs.

[Ginofan]

I despise both teams, if there is a God, both teams will find a way to lose.

[romad_20]

I hate LA and loved Bird. Kobe doesn't deserve to win after the crap he's pulled with this team and Jackson is a smug prick. KG will never be compared with TD. TD doesn't shrink in big situations and KG was already a HOF lock, why not let the guy win a championship. At least he never demanded to be traded publicly and rode out the crappiness that was Minn. I could care less if Paul Pierce wins. Also PJ Brown would win and he's' a good guy and player who's suffered many years on less than great teams. Boston plays Spurs-like defense (not this years Spurs but...) and I like teams that don't ignore that side of the court.

[kobyz]

i can't belive we lost to the lakers, i can't find one good reason for that, we should have won this series. the Phoenix Suns and the Hornets are much tougher teams and we beat them.
i think that is the must missing opportunity that we had of all time to go to the finals

[Kermit]

Here is the awesomeness of Laker Fan in all their glory going apeshit on Celtic fan who was dumb enough to attend in his Garnett jersey (taken last night at the Staples Center)...

[romsho]

CelticTalk is thataway, garnetttt ---------------->

Just admit you want to hear this phrase repeated for the rest of eternity: "KG was an amazing player who was just as good and just as clutch as Duncan. The only thing that seperated KG and Duncan was KG's supporting cast. The one year KG had a decent supporting cast, he single-handedly carried that team to a championship. That alone proved he's Duncan's equal and better than bigmen who couldn't do that such as David Robinson and Patrick Ewing."

If the Celtics win, that will be KG's legacy :pctoss

Then again, I hate Kobe more than any player so I can't root for the Lakers either. If a team has to win it, all I can do is wait to celebrate that one of these two teams lost. Guaranteed KG or Kobe tears is the only reason this Finals is watchable.

No it won't. KG will be credited for being a great player (which he is) who finally played on a team good enough to win it all. Leading a team to the championship is a lot different than carrying it to one. Anyone who has watched this series realizes the clutch, money player on the Celtics is Paul Pierce.

KG is not only not dominating the series, he is showcasing his major weakness: constantly settling for the outside jumper. A 6'11' guy who does not impose his will in the paint? Sorry, no one with half a brain who has watched the NBA for the last ten years would think that KG can dominate a game or series the way Tim Duncan has throughout his career. You don't ever hear anyone regarding Kevin Garnett as the "greatest power forward to ever play the game". It is said all the time about Tim Duncan.

Look, if a bunch of east coast media hacks want to dub some false legacy on Garnett vs. Duncan because Garnett wins a championship this year, so be it. It don't mean shit. Duncan's resume is complete.

By the way, fuck the Lakers. At least the Celtics are a hard nosed, defensive minded team led by a former Spur. How can any Spurs fan not care if the Lakers win a championship? Go Celtics.

[romsho]

Wrong.

If the Celtics beat down the Lakers, it makes the Spurs look even worse. It makes them look like they couldn't even beat a wussy team that lost to the Celtics.

No problem. I think most of us realize the Spurs lost to a team that wasn't that great. It is what it is. No satisfaction whatsoever in losing to that same not-so-great team just because they win a championship.

[urunobili]

I can't stand both teams. Hopefully Tim Donaghy comes out with some juicy info that shuts down the NBA until the start of next season :hungry:

timing would be perfect as it's Stern's desired Flakers Celts finals... damn i'd love that...

[FromWayDowntown]

It occurred to me (and it probably occurred to others sooner) that if the Celtics win, the Spurs will remain the only Western Conference team to uphold the honor of the conference in the Finals since 2003, given that the Lakers and Mavericks both flamed out when given the opportunity to demonstrate the West's dominance by winning the Finals. There is something to be said for being unique. And for all of the insufferability of Lakers' fans, it might be slightly more pleasant to remind them that: (1) they've been teh suck in consecutive Finals; and (2) they've only beaten Boston 2 out of 11 (or whatever that number is for Finals matchups).

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I miss the Lakers trolls. Where did they go?

they are losing - don't expect D&C to show up any time soon, unless his team wins again.

He's so predictable.

[ATXSPUR]

Wrong.

That sounds like an argument a mav or sun fan would make. Moral victories are pretty unsatisfiying when you have tasted the trophy 4 times in 9 years. That being said I have a tough time rooting for boston as well. I have a friend who's hate for the Spurs is ridiculous and she has been on the celtic bandwagon all season...she is just a casual fan but she has beaten me in every sports bet we have made this year!!! Ugh....I hate to see her be right about this too.

2008 is just not a good year. :bang

Anyway as much talk as we have about lakers vs celtics fans there is no bigger douche in the entire sports world than ohio state football fans.

[The Franchise]

Hopefully the Celtics solved THAT problem with those 2 wins in Auburn Hills,
and this series won't even go back to Boston
:toast

[SenorSpur]

I didn't care going in, but find myself rooting for the C's.

My hatred for the Fakers, and they manner in which they are shoved down our throats, simply disgusts me.

Go C's

[Extra Stout]

Question: If Paul Pierce averages 60 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists in two Celtics' closeout wins in Los Angeles while KG goes scoreless and defecates on Bill Russell's seat, will that be enough to maybe draw a vote or two away from KG as Finals MVP?

[romad_20]

If the C's win, Paul Pierce is the MVP, period. It's not even close right now. He pulled a Willis Reed stunt in game one and hit those back to back 3's and tore them up last night. Duncan will not get forgotten because Garnett wins a 'chip but if the lakers win it does take away from the Spurs legacy. That is the most important thing.

[Mr. Body]

Agreed. KG is a utility guy in the series, but it is Pierce's to win or lose. The Lakers have no way of stopping him so far.

At least if the Lakers win, we can say .. Oh well, Spurs lost to the 2008 Champs.

If the Celtics beat down the Fakers, it also highlights a few things about the Spurs/Fakers series:

* Manu's injury and the Spurs total dependency on him
* The pitiful offensive woes of the Spurs
* ...and of course, the age and lack of athleticism with the current roster

Just had to get that in there.

[1Parker1]

This is a tough one. I really wish that both could somehow lose.

I'm going to have to root for the Lakers to win, just because if the team that beat the Spurs doesn't go on to win it all, it makes the Spurs loss that much worse in my eyes. :pctoss

Plus I really cannot stand the idea of KG and Ray Allen winning a ring.

[1Parker1]

That being said, Boston has looked really, really good. I'm not so sure that the Lakers can win 3 straight at home.

[SpursFanFirst]

Whottt + Shoog + Timvp =


:corn:


As much as it pains me to say this, I have to root for the Celtics in this matchup. I don't think there's anything worse than the Kobe/Colonel combination.

[SenorSpur]

Fakers made the Spurs look really old and slow.

Celtics are making the Fakers look really soft.

The playoffs have a way of exposing who a team REALLY is!

[nfg3]

Kobe doesn't deserve to celebrate a title with the same teammates and organization he threw beneath the Buss (Jerry) prior to the start of '08. Celts won in Detroit, they can win AT LEAST 1 in L.A. and finish the Lakers off in Boston if it comes down to it.

But Allen and Garnet's whinning is hard to take, also. I can maybe give KG some credit but I really don't particularly like Ray Allen. Usually in the Finals I can root for one or the other teams but not this year.

It's the "Lesser of Two Evils" finals. :depressed

[miss paxton]

This would be a harder call for me if it weren't for Phil Jackson, as I am no fan of either Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett. But I have never yet wanted a Phil Jackson-coached team to win anything and I'm not going to start now. Him not winning another ring is far more important to me than Allen or Garnett finally winning one.

[shelshor]

...
And Magic wasn't a douchebag...
...

True--he is/was more like an enema can

[Pucho!!!]

he's also a moron...have you see that commerical with him and bird, which was prolly made sumtime in Feb? You can hear his stupidity over Bird's country accent, plus he's got a dumb-downed look hahaha

[td4mvp21]

I just can't cheer for the Lakers. They are complete BITCHES. The sense of entitlement, the pettiness after losses, the cheap jabs at teams, not giving credit-I can't stand that. I don't like either team but I am not cheering for this bitch team.

[MadDog73]

Anything is better than Kobe getting a 4th ring.

Even Ray Pussy Allen getting a ring...

[hater]

I am not watching this boring series. but I feel Lakers will win 2 in LA. and this series will go 6 or 7 games with Celtics choking and Lakers wining.

then again, it would be pretty fun to see Lakers get swept. LOL

its a win win situation for me. See Kobe and "the machine" cry or see Garnett + Allen cry. :tu

The lesser of the two evils. Would you rather have:
1. Kobe the-rapist-who-escaped-the-guillty-charge-but-settled-the-case-out-of-court AND Phil the-zen-master-with-the-asterisks? or
2. Garnett, Allen and Pierce?

I will pick Garnett, Allen and Pierce ANYTIME. I wish Kobe never won a championship ever again.

I honestly don't think Kobe did it. As a matter of fact I think he is more of an ass for cheating on his wife than anything. And I actually do respect him and colonel more than ganett allen and pierce.

The only reason I am rooting for the celtics is the Spurs legacy. If laker wins the Spurs will be known simply as "the team that won between the lakers dynasty". However if the Spurs only had about one ship i'd root for the guys who actually back stuff up over the guys who whine and talk shit and have nothing to show for it.

That being said GO CELTICS!!!

Great teams blow series. Showtime lost to a shitty Rockets team in 86, and an even worse one in 81. Boston got swept by Milwaukee in 83. Shit happens... and by that argument, were you rooting for LA in 04 and Dallas in 06? I know I wasn't, and I loved seeing both of them go down in flames in humiliating fashion.

Duncan won't get his due, and it's something we're all going to have to live with regardless of whether Garnett ever wins. Nothing can ever change the fact that Tim left the east coast when he came to the NBA, and that the national media couldn't give a shit about anyone in any other area of the country (aside from LA).

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Whottt got it right.

I don't understand anyone who could tolerate the modern Lakers winning it. They're the team you love to hate. But moreso LAKER NATION itself.

Being okay with the Lakers winning it, as a Spurs fan who's weathered all the shit and controversy relating to these guys with Kobe and Phil and Shaq and the cockiness of their fairweather fans...I don't understand the compromise of principles.

WGAF about KG, Ray Allen, and the media. The level of annoyingness is equivalent to that of a Gnat buzzing by your ear v. a Mosquito carrying the West Nile virus.

The potential for a repeat by Lakers? Why not just root for that to not happen at all?

[WildcardManu]

+1,000,000

Me and my brother been saying that the Spurs lost to the eventual champions. I hate Boston primarily because of Pussy KG and wussy Allen and fuck gangsta Pierce. Kobe demanded a trade, KG cried his ass out of Minnesota, and now some people want him to win a ring so he can be ranked up there with the elite bigs like TD? Fuck KG, bitch couldn't cut it in the West so he moved to the Leastern conference and the fag looks dominant.

All season long I hated the media trying to shove down our throats the nostalgia of the Celtic era. Sick of the damn gatorade commercials, the big 3 aren't so big till they can prove they can win.

Oh yeah, I also hate the fact that Boston worked so hard to scout and develope players and didn't just trade and patch the team.

[J.T.]

I don't think the Lakers will win a title in the next three years if they let this one get away (which they're already doing). If the Celtics win this year, the '09 Lakers will have '06 Pistons/'07 Mavs written all over them. Pissed because they lost in the Finals the previous year with a dominant regular season followed by a playoff collapse.

I don't care for particularly either of these teams but stupid Laker trolls and Phil Jackson are as good a reason as any to go for Boston. It's obvious that Pierce is going to win MVP, so I don't know why people are afraid that the media will put KG above Tim when Tim will still have three more rings and Finals MVPs than KG will.

[sandman]

I haven't watched a single second of the Finals, including any highlights.

But a few quick thoughts on why I would rather have the Celtics over the Lakers:

1. I won't root for one over the other based on individual players (i.e.- the TD v. KG debate or the Ray Allen doesn't respect Bowen debate). The Spurs to a man have always been team first, and probably don't give a rat's ass about any of this individual player hate that is prominent on the board.

2. So if it just about the team, which is worse for the Spurs legacy? Having to trade Championships every other year with the one and done teams from the Eastern Conference, or being tied with the Lakers for decade dominance? We all know that the Spurs would come out on the losing end of any Laker v. Spur team of the decade debate.

3. Having half my family living in Whittier, I am well aware of the insufferability of LakerFan when they are winning. Tie the Celts for most championships ever? Tie the Spurs for championships in this decade? Sorry, but I don't think that I could handle that much front-running elitist mentality for the next year (if not longer, God forbid they win a few more with this team).

I care who wins, not that I want to watch it happen though. Go Celts. :(

[romad_20]

If the Lakers win it diminishes what the spurs have done, bottom line. It's not that hard to figure out. What's the worse thing that would happen if the Celts win? Nothing I can think of is worse than Phil becoming "the greatest coach of all-time" and all the Kobe ball sucking that will go on for years.

[mavs>spurs2]

Anyone ever seen that south park episode where the whole town is so smug because they all drive hybrid cars to "help the environment?" If the Lakers win the championship then Laker fans level of smug will be unbearable and their cloud of smog will devour us all.

So yea, GO CELTS!

[bostonguy]

Celtics suck on the road, so hopefully L.A. wins three at home. I don't want the Celtics to win the Title.

Change suck to sucked. While that was one series, they were able to dominate the Pistons in game 3 and close them out in game 6 with both being on their homecourt. Celts can win on the road as they proved the last series. That being said, a series doesnt begin until a road team wins.

[bostonguy]

I don't think the Lakers will win a title in the next three years if they let this one get away (which they're already doing). If the Celtics win this year, the '09 Lakers will have '06 Pistons/'07 Mavs written all over them. Pissed because they lost in the Finals the previous year with a dominant regular season followed by a playoff collapse.

I don't care for particularly either of these teams but stupid Laker trolls and Phil Jackson are as good a reason as any to go for Boston. It's obvious that Pierce is going to win MVP, so I don't know why people are afraid that the media will put KG above Tim when Tim will still have three more rings and Finals MVPs than KG will.

TD>KG it isnt even close. I said it the minute KG was traded here and I will say it now, Paul Pierce is the ultimate leader of this team. KG was a huge reason for us getting this far but this is Pierce's team when it's all said and done.

[bostonguy]

Oh yeah, I also hate the fact that Boston worked so hard to scout and develope players and didn't just trade and patch the team.


They have been trying to do that for years and it wasnt working. It's been 21 years since this team has done anything worth a shit. It did make the window shorter but it had to get done. I dont blame them for it.

[hater]

If Kobe wins, he'll celebrate and go home. If garnett wins, he'll rip his shirt off, act like a fool and talk trash all next season. Not to mention the Celtics cock sucking the world will suffer for the next 12 months. Not to mention Vagina Allen would have a ring.

Yeah, I still rather have Lakers win it as horrible as that sounds.

Actually, on the other hand, if Lakers win, we will hear for the next 12 months how the new Lakers dynasty will win the next 6 championships. Not to mention the worst fans in the league (laker Fans) will talk shit for the entire year.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I don't get the willingness to say "well we lost to the champs"
where was that attitude in 06'..

Fuck that. If the Lakers lose and fall to the Celtics D, and Kobe continues shooting more games at under 40 percent, vs the 55 percent of ours. It means that the Spurs loss to a good but not great team, who benefited from fortune:
a gimpy Manu, a blatant series deciding NO call of an obvious foul that HAVE been called before in important games with two seconds left (Finals 06) , and the error of an incompetent AIRLINE!

I don't want to hear the "what if" cards because all those are legitimate reasons , the last two being unnatural and manmade. If Lakers get exposed for being a soft-ass team, then logic suggests that Spurs got beat by Lakers getting the lucky draw of the straw.
Their number 1 seed wasn't even a dominating position, they just came ahead in the horse race at the right time.

[td4mvp21]

The Spurs already look bad because we lost 4-1 in the WCF, that included: giving up a 20 point lead, giving up a 17 point lead, and getting blown out by 30 points. The Lakers getting blown out by the Celtics isn't going to make the Spurs look any worse IMO :lol

a gimpy Manu, a blatant series deciding NO call of an obvious foul that HAVE been called before in important games with two seconds left (Finals 06) , and the error of an incompetent AIRLINE!

I don't want to hear the "what if" cards because all those are legitimate reasons , the last two being unnatural and manmade. If Lakers get exposed for being a soft-ass team, then logic suggests that Spurs got beat by Lakers getting the lucky draw of the straw.
Their number 1 seed wasn't even a dominating position, they just came ahead in the horse race at the right time.

It's just sad that all those little things could of lead to a completely different outcome, but now we are stuck with the 4-1 loss that people will remember over anything else. That 4-1 series was as close as any there has been IMO.

[Pucho!!!]

And I actually do respect him and colonel more than ganett allen and pierce.The only reason I am rooting for the celtics is the Spurs legacy. If laker wins the Spurs will be known simply as "the team that won between the lakers dynasty". However if the Spurs only had about one ship i'd root for the guys who actually back stuff up over the guys who whine and talk shit and have nothing to show for it.

That being said GO CELTICS!!!

Your funny,although your goin for the Celtics and ur reasoning for goin for them I do agree with, I'd have to disagree with your take on the 2 teams: 1. the only team Ive seen talking shit, whinning and kissin the star players ass is the Lakers. The Celtics mentality is that much like the Spurs "we're here to play, fuck the refs" while Kobe and Phil whine, yell and cry in the refs face, on the sideline, after Kobe loses the ball out of bounds and to the media. Sure the next day they changed their tune, "oh, we gotta be more aggressive", but that was only after he had to say something to the meda. Then in G3, Kobe answer to Tafoya's question about "what was the difference between your teams play in this game and the last couple?" he had the audasicity to say "No different, we played the same." He's such a crock. 2. How can you respect a team that has nothing but utter disgust for your team? Ive never to rarely heard Phil or Kobe say anything good about the Spurs and guess what every year in the playoffs theyre gonna be in our conference playoffs, the Celtics will not.
:flag:

[Pucho!!!]

If the Lakers win it diminishes what the spurs have done, bottom line. It's not that hard to figure out. What's the worse thing that would happen if the Celts win? Nothing I can think of is worse than Phil becoming "the greatest coach of all-time" and all the Kobe ball sucking that will go on for years.

Not to mention all the Kobe cock sucking and ass licking that will happen this summer if he wins, touche, your someone who knows what they're talkin about

[MateoNeygro]

There's not a chance anyone is going to seriously consider KG as better than Duncan. Duncan won that race long ago.

But if Kobe wins I can guarantee you people are going to say he is better than Duncan. Hell, they say it already.




Furthermore...Kori, timvp and ShoogarBear do not all have the same stance...


timvp is a staunch advocate of fence riding...he sincerely believes it does not make a difference. Inspite of all the past shit between the Spurs and the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Lakers...it's like it never happend for timvp. And he seems to believe that somehow the Celtics have done anything close to what the Lakers have done..


Kori is jocking the Lakers entirely out of loyalty to Bruce Bowen..


ShoogarBear hates the Celtics from his days as a KnickFan.


Me? I'm the only one that can be trusted here...as an admitted casual follower of the Lakers at times...obviously something must have changed to put me totally in the corner of the anti-Laker movement.

And I am very forthcoming with the reasons why when asked...


Bottomline is that it will be far more damaging and painful for the Spurs if the Lakers win...and any real Spurfan will be rooting for the Celts against LA. IT's just that simple.


I AGREE 100 PERCENT, Fock the LaKeRs especially Phil jackson and derek fisher, and why does every one hate KG so much?

[LakerLanny]

Celtics suck on the road, so hopefully L.A. wins three at home. I don't want the Celtics to win the Title.

You are a good woman!

Do you have a sister?!?

[shelshor]

Well, KG is an ass

Just not as big as ass as Phillatio Jackass, KoMe or the talking sock puppets who can barely restrain themselves from throwing either one down at mid-court and blowing them

And I still wanna see GasHole looking like a (barely) survivor from a Basque train bombing

[LakerLanny]

Not to mention the worst fans in the league (laker Fans) will talk shit for the entire year.



You know we will do that anyway! :lol

[manufor3]

I guess i'd rather see Kobe get another ring, than to see KG ever see his first.

It's a lose - lose.

why? kobe is a rapist, why does he deserve another?

[timvp]

I'm on the Celtics bandwagon now. I don't want to see the Lakers come back from their 3-1 deficit. That'd be too much "Kobe is the greatest" talk. Finish this ish off, Boston.






P.S.

James Posey was the player I wanted the Spurs to get this past summer and I've long pimped Eddie House as the perfect backup point guard for Pop. They are the only two players in the series I like. Posey has that 1999 Spurs toughness about him and House just wills himself to do good.

It sucks that Ray Allen will have to win MVP but Posey to me might be the man most responsible for their 3-1 advantage. That guy makes more great defensive plays and reads in a quarter than nearly anyone else in the game makes in an entire contest. Tom Thibodeau gets a lot of credit but none of that defensive mastery would be possible without Posey.




P.P.S.

Bill Russell called Boston the most racist town in America. When he left Boston, he moved as far away as possible (Seattle). Unless they want to praise Brian Scalabrine in dress clothes, Celtic Fan doesn't exactly have anyone to um ... overrate.

They said it was for the black man,
they said it was for the mexican,
and not for the white man.

It's about this fucked up situation and these fucked up police.
It's about coming up and staying on top

Tom Thibodeau

[Streakyshooter08]

To me, it is not really important to pull for one team. I don't like either. I think the Lakers will be a contender for years to come with a healthy Bynum and the MLE to improve some needs.

Boston on the other hand has 2 years the MOST to be in contention (with the big 3).

My thoughts on Boston winning it: I don't see how 1 ring would help people argue that KG is better than Timmy. The ones who argue that KG is better right now will keep to do so regardless of what happens this year. Everybody who followed the NBA over the years and has some basketball knowledge will agree that Tim is better. It is not even close. That said the ONLY reasonable way to compare players is their success (as franchise players). The consistency of success since TD joined the league is remarkable. When Tim played they got out of the first round EVERY YEAR and won 4 championships with the team that drafted him. He won championships with 11 different players (1999/2005) on his team. He has 3 Finals MVPs (along with MJ, Shaq and Magic the only players who won 3 or more). Who knows if KG will win one finals MVP at all.

I don't really root for one team. But with the Lakers being strong for years to come it might be easier to accept if Boston wins.

That said, I really hope the Spurs will retool and win another...

All championship teams have to take their lumps in the playoffs before they win it all. The 3-peat Lakers lost to Utah and then got swept by the Spurs in 99 before finally winning it all in 2000.

This current Laker team surpassed all of my expectations and had a wildly successful season when put into proper perspective. The experience they are gaining now will prove invaluable in the years to come as they try and contend for titles. The addition of Bynum, a defensive minded veteran to help Kobe lock down the perimeter, and another offseason of training for the entire team will push them over the top next season IMHO.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

They only exceeded expectations thanks to the Memphis donation.

I hopeout of left field the FBI inadvertently stumbles on that collusion trade and the league has to rescind that frickin trade as a consequence.

I agree. The Lakers will be a favorite going into next year. But remember Pheonix when they did not have Amare? They also thought that would go all the way when he is back and they did not. All I want to say is that no one knows what happens next year. But one injury, one trade, one aquisition can change a lot. All we can do is wait. :)

It's really too bad that the league decided to fix these Finals against LA, though I suppose the upside is that it will give you years of garbage to post on any number of internet forums.

San Antonio -- still the only West team to uphold the honor of the conference in an era of an absolutely dominant Western Conference. (there are better ways to say it -- at least the Spurs manage to actually win the Finals . . . . ).
