my bad....![]()
The Lakers are giving up way too many easy points inside. At least with Benga, I know he's going to play physical defense and contest a lot of shots. Even if he has to foul, at least he won't give up layups. And I'm not asking him to play a lot of minutes. Just a few and see how he does.
Lol, Lamar. He might lead them straight to the ter.
lamar freakin pisses me off. 1st posession he took it to the hole on garnett. he should be doing that everytime.
I think people put too much stock into that Christmas game, saying Bynum solves all their problems. It is only a 1 game sample. , the Lakers DID beat the Celtics in the Finals twice last year, but obviously that didn't matter.
As for how these teams matchup? pretty evenly I'd say, a 7 game series would probably come down to who hits more jump shots and grabs more rebounds.
Let me start off by saying that I don't think this Celtics team can win the le as is...their bench really don't impress much at all anymore. Their big men were able to pound the boards there late in the half because we have skinny weak big men....Bynum certainly eliminates those opportunities for the most part and will add another 12-15 pts against the Celtics.
Trevor needs to play more...
Luke and Trevors outshide shot is basically even. But Trevor is a better slasher and defender. Playing Luke more in favor that he has a better IQ is pathetic cuz Trevor is not dumb like Lamar, Sasha, and Radman
Barkley better win this! Just for the simple fact that Chuck ing owns TNT
the celtics just look like the badass older brother everytime the lakers play them. this is the only team i feel like we need to play perfect basketball to beat. with that being said, if the lakers limit easy baskets, i like our chances but thats easier said than done
The Lakers shouldn't worry about this game. Boston will not get past Cleveland because King James can leave his mark on a game moreso than the Fake 3 put together. King James took them to 7 last year by himself without Homecourt... now this year he has elevated his game, he has Mo Williams, and the Cavs are superior offensively and defensively, and the Cavs will have Homecourt.
So, this game shouldn't concern the Lakers, losing to Boston is no more big of a deal than losing to the Thunder or Wizards. the Sunday game is a true measuring stick of whether the Lakers have the stuff of champions
Look at the game today. Why are the Celtics even in this?
OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.
What does Bynum do better than anyone on either team?
GRAB ING REBOUNDS.
It's that simple. BOS lost huge pieces to their bench in Posey and Brown, both of whom did major damage against the Lakers. What they've been replaced with just ain't all that scary.
Celtics will open this up in the 2nd half. I have a bad feeling about the way we ended that 2nd quarter.
I think BOS is waking up and realizing we don't have anyone to stop them at the rim.
Brother all I'm saying is I can't draw significant conclusions about who would win in a 7 game series based on that 1 Christmas game.
Like I said, I think the two teams are so evenly matched that it would come down to who would hit more jump shots and grab more rebounds, HCA would probably play a role as well.
Well if they are allowed to mug Kobe and foul him on every shot we might as well call it a game.
. Kobe is turning into that mode. But the problem is he can thit .
This is why the Lakers cannot beat Boston without Bynum.
Lamar Odom. He is simply incapable of doing anything on offense against the Celtic starting 5.
Im tired of people saying Lamar Odom can do everything. Actually he can't do anything except transition layups. Without a true post up game or jump shot, he is not very good in grind it out halfcourt games.
Look at this ass BOS team.
Thinking they're the because they are beating a Bynum-less Laker team.
ING COWARDS.
Rondo is a piece of LMAO at him trying to push Kobe.
Rondo is such a - I wish Kobe would have laid his got ass to the floor
I too, Dr House, cannot stand this ass Celtics team.
They think they're special because of their fluke championship. They got bailed out by PJ ing Brown of all people hitting some bull 4th quarter shots in game 7 against the Cavaliers.
Also, Pierce trading baskets with the King? Yeah, that makes sense.
Alas, if they were not fluke champions, they will repeat this year. Non-fluke teams win more than 1 championship.
