Lakers getting destroyed in finals second time in a row :That's a good thing
Celtics dick sucking being at an all time high: That's a bad thing
Damnit I hate these finals.
Fuck why did we lose to these lakers? That is how you are supposed to guard kobe not let him taken open jump shots all day long, like what the spur did.
Because the league's other poster boy is on the other side of the 24-point comeback?
The NBA won as soon as both the Lakers and the Celtics made the Finals. Either way, they have the storyline they wanted.

Also helps to have a healthy Manu Ginobili
If we played better D we could have beaten them w/o a healthy manu. Playing better D on kobe wins us Games 1 and 4 and 5

Great game by the Celtics, the best part of the game was the refs were not the focus. Sucks to be on this end of a blown monster lead but that's the way it goes sometimes.
If there was any chance of a "fix" extending this series it is gone now with all the focus on past "fixes".
Hope the Lakers show some pride and send it back to Boston.

nah, - we just don't have the right players to defend quick/tall athletic players. I know you're shocked when I say that with players on our squad like Oberto, but really we do sort of suck when a driving player is able to dish off to a taller athletic player (i.e. Kobe to Gasol.)

Yes...another shameful chapter in our history vs the Lakers. Pop shrivels up and dies when he sees the Lakers in the playoffs.
Happy that the Lakers are going down like bitches, but I'm still angry that we should have played better and that they still own us, big time.

True..true. But we weren't that far from beating the Lakers as the outcome suggests. Spurs even said they weren't executing as they were capable of ...
Our defense suffered from fatigue, and the ability to adapt and make better adjustments for that.
I still think despite Lakers leaping and quickness advantage, we had enough to go to the Finals.
Whether or not we beat the Celtics wouldn't have been so easy to guesstimate though.

Lakers thought the game was over at halftime and Boston never gave up.
Credit to the Celtics for playing with sustained intensity while our guys played only in spurts.
Only bright side is at least we saw a decently officiated game tonight, I had almost forgotten what that looked like.
Maybe the most disappointing loss in Lakers history ever or at least since the 1984 Finals, Game 2.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet, but she is warming up. I feel like puking....

have faith Lanny - the NBA has bills to pay and what can be more dramatic than the first team to win from being down 3-1. That's a ratings bonanza waiting to happen.

we miserably failed to match up to kobe's athleticism.
If Manu was in top shape in the series, we would have had a second guy - beside Bowen - to run around and defend Kobe.
We need to get an athletic player that can play the 3 and 2 position.

Whereas with Walker, he was just a role player, albeit an annoying one, who managed to get a ring riding the curtails of Wade and Shaq.

Ray Allen getting his kind of sucks but not really. He just talked too much.
But KG suffered long enough...
Even if he kind of, went all CRAZYYY being cooped up in the NorthWestern part of the states. Where he acts all weird now in front of the Camera..referring to his squad as the Ceatles.
Come on, the dude deserves a one and done championship at least. I can't find the picture anymore, but there was one KG gone fishing pic that made me feel bad. A non altered pic of Him all alone on the beach at one of Minnesota's many great lakes...and he was actually enjoying himself.
I remember a time when nobody really was annoyed with KG himself, nor his talent, just the people comparing him to Duncan.

Well if Pierce wins the Finals MVP, then hopefully that will quiet everyone about who' the man was. Also Allen is helping a lot this series, along with the rest of the squad. So at least it's not an exaggeration on his part. KG's the only one who's been a roleplayer so far. He's good at getting rebounds.

Every single sports fan and bookie are watching these Finals with an eye of suspicion that has never been as present or scrutinizing before. Do you think if LA was up 24 and started to get the game close, then suddenly shot 20+ free throws in the 4th quarter to seal a 3 point win that it would be, "Oh, well Kobe played a great game."?
No. The NBA knows it's on thin ice. They can't afford to have any more questionable decisions after Game 4 in San Antonio and the recent comments by Donaghy. If anyone even gets an IDEA that this series was or is fixed, the NBA is done.

I don't mind Pierce. Dude is a bit of a jerk, but he's put up crazy numbers in Boston for a while without complaint, when he could have demanded a trade.
KG is beast. He played for a horrible Minnesota team for so long and you never heard a complaint out of him that didn't spawn from wanting to win. I respect him even if I think he has his rough spots. He deserves a ring.
