Anything is better than Kobe getting a 4th ring.
Even Ray Pussy Allen getting a ring...
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.
My bad...here, let me fix it:

And you call yourself "hater"
...pathetic.
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 and have nothing to show for it.
That being said GO CELTICS!!!
Great teams blow series. Showtime lost to a ty Rockets team in 86, and an even worse one in 81. Boston got swept by Milwaukee in 83. 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 about anyone in any other area of the country (aside from LA).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
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 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 and controversy relating to these guys with Kobe and Phil and Shaq and the iness 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?
+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 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? KG, couldn't cut it in the West so he moved to the Leastern conference and the 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.
I don't think the Lakers will win a le 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 . It did make the window shorter but it had to get done. I dont blame them for it.
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 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 for the entire year.
damn, I really don't want neither of these to win.

You sh change your name from hater to waffler
this thread is still soft... we could also call YOU Whotttie...You sh change your name from hater to waffler
and yours toYou sh change your name from hater to waffler
As long as that head LA coach doesn't win another........
I guess that means I'm pulln' for the C's.
and yours to
You sure about that? Or would you like a little more time to make up your mind?
I don't get the willingness to say "well we lost to the champs"
where was that at ude in 06'..
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.
