Game 7 Celtics vs Magic

[TampaDude]

your team isnt winning a championship. They arent mentally tough enough and their defense sucks ass.

QFT

Talent alone wont get you a championship. If you lack the intangibles, it will catch up to you. If you lack a good D, it will catch up to you.

True for 99.9999% of teams...except for the Lakers.

Their size, talent, and length give them wins even when they're playing at 50%. This is why teams push them to 7 games but you know the Lakers are winning anyways.

But like I said, it's waaayyy too early to talk about this, let's wait for the Finals and you'll see what I mean.

Only the Orlando Magic can stop the Lakers this year of the remaining teams.

[TampaDude]

Folks, this is a ballgame now!!!

[timtonymanu]

Are the Celtics just great at bouncing back or are the Magic great at choking leads?

Both.

[Allanon]

Magic are great at choking leads.

[timtonymanu]

Alston missed a free throw. LMAO.

[kamikazi_player]

I sense a epic ending in this game.

Lakers are the exception? How is that? Because of their talent and history? LA will have to work just as hard as anybody else if they want to win a le. A team full of soft players and that type of arrogance will NEVER win a championship no matter what franchise they represent.

Magic are great at choking leads.

They're not the only team...does Game 4 of the Finals last year ring a bell???

[Lebron4MVP]

Hey Boston, stop giving up those open 3's. Orlando's O goes to when you contest every shot.

Totally agree, the Lakers are by far the best team at choking leads because these arrogant ers relax when they're up.

[kamikazi_player]

LOl, I dunno why Celtics keep Scalebrine, he reminds me of Bonner.

That's the conventional wisdom.

But the Lakers have pretty much been under-achieving all year long and ended up with 65 wins. They have been lazy on defense and jacked off for most of the Playoffs and they're still in the WCF.

They'll play sub-par versus the Nuggets but yet again they'll win.

Lakers should have been out of the Playoffs by now, but they're not because they just have too much talent to lose. Any other team playing lazy defense like the Lakers would have been swept in round 1.

To be fair, pretty much all teams get sloppy when they have a big lead. The Spurs have done it more times than I can remember. No matter what team you're a fan of, it's ing annoying, isn't it?

If you arent concerned with their inconsistent play, you are lying to me and to yourself.

Damn straight man, that is annoying.

Lol, everytime i think of choking big leads, i think of Mavs vs the Lakers.

[timtonymanu]

BOO at Reggie Miller's impression of Bill Walton!

[Libri]

Perkins!

[pauls931]

man I'd love to see marbury and perkins go at it in a game of one on one.

turnover, brick, brick, brick, turnover brick, brick...

Pissed yes because nobody's happe with an under-achiever. But concerened, nah. I'm only concerned about the Lakers going up against the Magic...all the other teams have the talent in all the wrong places to beat the Lakers.

Just like the Cavs, they have 6' Mo Williams and 6'2 Delonte West to guard Kobe Bryant, it's a horrible matchup. If you take out either one to play KObe better you're also taking out your 2nd/3rd best player.

[timtonymanu]

Knew that was going in. LOL Orlando.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Wearing your headband upside down is not cool, its ing re ed. And its disrespectful to the league.

[kamikazi_player]

66-61. Very close game.
