Fakers complete the greatest choke job in NBA playoff history!

Celtics come from 21 down after one to shit all over the Fakers on their homecourt. Biggest blown lead after one quarter in NBA playoff history. :lol

Bonus points to Vujacic for giving up an uncontested layup with the game on the line :lmao

[DazedAndConfused]

I'm not even going to rationalize this loss. It was an epic, epic, fail. Enjoy it Spur fan, this is your pseudo-championship.

I hate to say it, but Phil Jackson got outcoached tonight. He just was not able to counter the Celtic's small lineup.

[ducks]

big choke job was kobe
paul peiece on him all second half and he shot terrible

[T Park]

That with a bottle of dos equis made for a nice night :tu

[braeden0613]

The curse continues....these teams need to learn that beating the spurs means an epic collapse in the finals. Just let us win next time

[resistanze]

LOL @ Vujacic. He "shut down" Manu, but couldn't stop Ray Allen on a drive??

[JamStone]

WRONG 24 down

No, it was 21 points after one. It got up to 24 somewhere in the second quarter.

[ducks]

the lead was 24 and you baically gave up a 20 point lead in the 3 quarter

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LOL @ Vujacic. He "shut down" Manu, but couldn't stop Ray Allen on a drive??

Shit like this happens when the guy you're guarding isn't playing on one leg.

i cant believe i was rooting for the celtics the entire game.

3-1!

[Medvedenko]

Yup a big choke job for the young lakers. It's a great learning experience for this season. They still have a chance as the last time I checked there's still at least 1 more game to play. However, it's been a bonus to even be in the finals this year. As a fan I'm not too upset as the Lakers played well, but are getting beat by a superior defensive team. I give it up to the celtics and their defensive schemes, and they also have hit huge shots when they needed it.

Only 1 team can win the whole thing and it's no shame in losing to a better team.

[romad_20]

Sure. Nothing pulls a team together like a swift punch in the side from Kobe. I'm sure the troops will be just rallying around him tonight. :lol the lakers lockerroom after the game = :smchode:

Your team is the softest, whiniest team to ever get to the Finals. Phil Jackson has been absolutely terrible in the last two Finals he's been in. Vujacic and Gasol's help defense against Ray Allen was laughable.

I'm that guessing that MFFLs everywhere are thanking the Lakers for taking some of the heat off the Mavs for '06.

Kobe just out-choked the '07 Mavs, the '06-'08 Pistons, the Utah Jazz (any playoff year), and the D'Antoni-Era Suns in one game.

Really...you actually believe that...then why did your team lose. Was it Karma....

Anyways, I give it up to the Lakers. You people on this board make it seem like you actually benefit your own existence if the Lakers win or lose. The C's are the better team and have been for the entire season. This wasn't lost on me when the series even started. I'll continue to post here if they lose, no big deal in my life really. I'm just happy I get to see my favourite team play in the finals.

It's been very lucky as a fan to see your team in 5 finals in 8 years. It looks good next year as well. No worries.

[DazedAndConfused]

There is no rationalizing this loss Laker fans. It was a huge collapse from top to bottom.

Let's hope LAL can win Game 5 and not embarrass themselves by letting the Celtics beat us in LA.

[DazedAndConfused]

I think it's a little bit hypocritical to talk about choke jobs when the Spurs blew 18 and 17 point leads against the Lakers twice in the prior series.

The Lakers lost this game in the 2nd half. They outplayed BOS for a quarter and then completely fell apart afterwards.

Do you now admit that Manu's injury was a bigger factor than you thought and the Lakers looked really good against a Spurs team that was a shell of themselves?? That is what the media did with their picks. They based it all on your 5 game win against us. This is the same Laker team that had their hands full with the Jazz whom a healthy Spurs team whipped in 5 games the year before.

The Spurs fought hard but are widely recognized to be old and unable. The Lakers have been fluffed by ESPN for so long everyone hates their guts. Kobe is a freakish prick and no matter how much the media wants people to see him as Jordan, most of us understand he's a withered husk of a person. We're rejoicing this soft-ass team hasn't won a championship, because they were flagrantly undeserving, and adding as a cherry, we're glad one of the most classless people in all of basketball, Phil Jackson, is falling very publicly on his face. It's good times.

I'd rather my team win, but to see this bunch of goons go down in very visible flames is highly satisfying. It's like watching the Republicans die a slow death. Thumbs up.

Yea, it's a great time to be a Spurs fan.

You probably won't ever see the Spurs in the Finals in the Tim Duncan era ever again.

Where is the Laker defense? That layup by Allen is completely inexcusable. Championship teams can shut down teams especially in the 4th, and the Lakers are not doing that at all.

[KidCongo]

hahah suck shit

can't beat the east

[DazedAndConfused]

Defense, defense, defense. The Lakers will inevitably fall short this year because they simply aren't a good enough defensive team.

They've been able to hide their weaknesses thus far because they haven't played a team with Boston's combination of strong defense and good offense. Those last two layups by Ray Allen just encapsulated it all for me, we need an anchor and enforcer in the paint to deter that kind of easy penetration.

When Bynum returns he will cover up a lot of those weaknesses on his own as he has the length, athleticism, and quickness to alter shots and deter easy penetration. It might also be a smart move to get rid of Odom in the offseason for a lockdown perimeter defender like Ron Artest, so Kobe can rest on defense and save his energy.

In short, the Lakers are close to having a championship team. A few minor tweaks in the off season and they will be right back in the Finals next year. Gotta take your lumps before you win it all.

BOS is pretty much universally hated in football and baseball, but they've been so irrelevant in basketball for so long that people have forgotten their old Celtic hate.

The Lakers, OTOH, with their continued success in each decade are the most hated team in basketball by far. Especially by Spur fan, whose team has fallen at the hands of the Lakers more times than I can count.

If the Lakers dont win this series, you wont be in position to talk shit either. At the end of the day, only one team has any right to talk shit and that is the one who wins the championships. Beating the Spurs and losing in the finals means your finish to the 2007-2008 season ended the same way the spurs did....coming up short but no ring.

I would hope for a superbowl at any costs. If there is one thing I have learned the hard way, winning all these games mean nothing if you dont win the championship. If they have to go 8-8 and win all their playoff games on last second plays to win the superbowl, ill take that in a heartbeat.

JT why did you ask me an nfl question? Now you got me thinking about the upcoming season. Ill be in the nfl forum throughout the year so I hope to see you there. Im curious to see who steps up to be the new #2 guy with Marvins age and health issues. I personally think Anthony Gonzalez is someone I like for that role if he doesnt drop too many balls. Damn it now im ranting about football again. :lmao:lmao

Damn it now im ranting again. :lmao:lmao

Marvin Harrison will probably be in jail for shooting someone in Philly so Gonzalez doesn't have a choice.

[ChumpDumper]

And here I was wanting the Lakers to win.

You guys suck.

[MateoNeygro]

You Spur clowns act like it was your team that won tonight. This series is going 7.

:rollin:rollin:lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH FUCK THE LAKERS

[BiZNicK]

Are the Faker fans still trying to defend their team's choke job?? LOL, just shush already.

[MateoNeygro]

And yet the Spurs have been eliminated from the playoffs yet again by the Lakers, Tiaggo Splitter is not coming to save the Spurs, Horry/Barry/Finley and the rest of your vaunted bench is probably going to retire, and Manu/Duncan just got a year older in a conference that is becoming more and more competitive. Yea, it's a great time to be a Spurs fan.

You probably won't ever see the Spurs in the Finals in the Tim Duncan era ever again.

HAHA THAT'S LAUGHABLE, EAT A DICK

[MateoNeygro]

First of all the Lakers choked big time tonight.

But NO Spur fan is in position to talk shit when his team choked not once, but twice in the prior series against the Lakers.

laker fans telling us what we have no right to do in our own forum?? i forgot you have to be here and take all this shit, if you don't like it leave you panzy!! :flag:

[MateoNeygro]

:lmao:lmao Thanks for the support guys. I know we are the lesser of 2 evils but glad to know that we are being rooted for.:toast

HELL YAH MAN GO BOSTON, PAUL PIERCE IS THE TRUTH, KOBE NOT SO MUCH

[LakeShow]

This was the one time that I would have prefered Kwame rather than Gasol. I'm sorry, Gasol is just too fucking soft for me. At least kwame would have held his own down low.

As a Lakers fan this has to be the worst loss I have ever experienced as a Lakers fan. No way were the supposed to lose that game. that sucks!

Kobe, I luv you and I'm glad you're a lakers but you disappointed me as well. I could see the defeatish attitude you were displaying at the 5 minute mark. This series is not over but I can not say that I have confidenced in the Lakers pulling it out.

Boston Celtics and fans, good game. You showed what champions are made of, my hats off to you. :toast

[Red Hawk #21]

Sorry guys but I cant agree that this was a choke job by the Lakers, I was saying it before that the Celtics are just a better team than the Lakers. Their defense and their hunger is what has brought them this far, dont get me wrong I think its an Epic Fail to blow a 24 point lead but I still think the Celtics are the better team. If the Lakers were the better team and they were down 3-1 then they choked but since they were not the better team imo they did not choke. Just my two cents

[shelshor]

meh, Auerbach's Ghost & the Leprechaun forgot that the Flakies no longer play in the Forum; took 'em 6 1/2 quarters to find the new place

[TampaDude]

So...will the Lakers hold off the Celtics on Sunday and extend the series, or will the Celtics SHUT DOWN THE STAPLES CENTER???

Stay tuned...more to come...

Agreed, that's why I'm saying it's pointless to talk shit when your team has already lost.

True. But the Spurs have newer trophies than we do. 3 in fact since our last one. Thats painful

He's not. I think he's a Suns fan to be honest. He has this fascination with Shaq, Amare, and Diaw being the strongest frontcourt in the league :lmao

BOS is pretty much universally hated in football and baseball, but they've been so irrelevant in basketball for so long that people have forgotten their old Celtic hate.

The Lakers, OTOH, with their continued success in each decade are the most hated team in basketball by far. Especially by Spur fan, whose team has fallen at the hands of the Lakers more times than I can count.

I'm not so sure that it is the Laker's team - more likely the hatred is directed against Kobe and what he represents - a self-centered, egotistical, can get away with anything, attitude. He generates a feeling as close to hate as most of us have ever experienced.

The Celtic players, by contrast, represent team basketball and unselfishness.

The Spurs fought hard but are widely recognized to be old and unable. The Lakers have been fluffed by ESPN for so long everyone hates their guts. Kobe is a freakish prick and no matter how much the media wants people to see him as Jordan, most of us understand he's a withered husk of a person. We're rejoicing this soft-ass team hasn't won a championship, because they were flagrantly undeserving, and adding as a cherry, we're glad one of the most classless people in all of basketball, Phil Jackson, is falling very publicly on his face. It's good times.

I'd rather my team win, but to see this bunch of goons go down in very visible flames is highly satisfying. It's like watching the Republicans die a slow death. Thumbs up.

I couldn't have said it better, except for maybe tossing in a few "overrated" comments. ;)

I hate the Lakers with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Ours is an epic hate, on par with that of say, Richard III and Henry VII, Sallieri and Mozart, Khan and Kirk, or perhaps even Dennis and Mr. Wilson.

I can't remember ever not hating the Lakers AND Celtics. When the Pacers were winning their ABA championships, Red Auerbach and Bill Sharman went out of their way to disparage them and the ABA. (This was particularly galling since Sharman had coached the 70-71 Utah Stars team that prevented Indiana from winning four in a row.) In both cases, they were completely unsolicited, gratuitous swipes at Bob Leonard, the team, and the league. I later learned this was out of character for Sharman, but pretty tame by Auerbach standards.

I really grew to hate the Celtics when they would face the Pacers in the playoffs, and more people around here were rooting for Bird instead of Indiana. My hatred of the Lakers obviously reached its peak in 2000, although the rapist has helped me keep my edge.

Yup a big choke job for the young lakers. It's a great learning experience for this season. They still have a chance as the last time I checked there's still at least 1 more game to play. However, it's been a bonus to even be in the finals this year. As a fan I'm not too upset as the Lakers played well, but are getting beat by a superior defensive team. I give it up to the celtics and their defensive schemes, and they also have hit huge shots when they needed it.

Only 1 team can win the whole thing and it's no shame in losing to a better team.

This is the smartest most rational Laker fan anywhere!!!!:toastProps Med.
