Paul Pierce is bragging on twitter.

[florige]

Spurfan already jumping on the next "this is going to be the team to beat the Lakers". Just like last year. Round by round they get their little asses hurt more and more. Each time trying to live vicariously through another team because they got their asses swept the out of the playoffs.

I hate LA because of some of their obnoxious fans but, but mostly because of that asshole Phil Jackson. I actually like Bryant and Gasol. Oh and I hate ears too.

Larry Bird would have never done this.

Robert Parish wouldn't have said "Man we gone bully these " either! Lol

Did anyone else feel like they were molested through the TV by Paul Pierce and his awkward wink?

[Ghazi]

When you have Gasol and Bynum in your frontline, you can't do no wrong. Wade can win a championship if you juxtapose him in this current Lakers lineup

Yeah... Kobe's team is soooo stacked with Diop 2.0 @ center...

Pretty creepy how he stared into the camera and said, "You hear me?"

Ummm, yessuh, I'll go get a switch now.

When healthy Kobe is better than Lebron. Lebron is watching the playoffs on TV again just like last year after having the best regular season record two years in a row. You can't choke in the playoffs two years in a row, have no rings, and be considered a better player than Kobe Bryant.

agree ...

agree ...
though Bynum gave us little in the last Finals run and little this one as well ...

There is no disrespect to kobe ...saying Wade could of won a tiltle with Last year's Laker team or make it to the confernce finals with this one.

Wade is a top 3 player and future HOF'er

He HAS to get the nod over Lebron (at this point in time) as well...

he has a a ring...he has a "skin on the wall".

That Heat team was not "stacked" ... they had a lot of former all-stars (much like Lebron has) and he won a le.

i feel no need to argue Kobe here because you can jusxtapose as you say Wade in the same argument vs. Lebron.

Look at it this way ...WADe won 1 less game against the Celts with no current all-stars and a s of a former one (O'neal) ...what was more impressive?

That was creepy and way too over-confident ...if Magic have any balls whatsoever they take Game 3 ...we will see.

That was a pretty HUGE choke job by the Magic down the stretch ...

[mindcrime]

Celtics don't have what it takes to take down LA this year.

The mismatches they enjoyed in '08 simply don't exist anymore. Instead of Radmanovich on Pierce, we have Artest. Instead of Pau on Perkins we have Bynum. Instead of Posey on Kobe they have the Allen bro's.

I've been a fan of Artest since Indiana. He's a great defender but I don't think he had too much success against PP. For some reason Pierce was never too bothered by having Artest guard him. Found these stats online. Obviously I'm not sure on how valid this is but here it is anyway.

BLACK = Regular game Stats average
RED = Stats average against Ron Artest

PAUL PIERCE
PTS 22.9 -- FG% .443 -- 3P% .366 -- FTA 7.8 -- REB 6.3 -- AST 3.9 -- TOV 3.1
PTS 21.3 -- FG% .436 -- 3P% .393 -- FTA 7.1 -- REB 5.8 -- AST 3.9 -- TOV 3.4

Serious question, don't lie(although you probably will)..did you consider Kobe to be the best in the NBA in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007, like the rest of Al-Quobe did at the time?..

[beachwood]

As long as PP destroys Kobe, I won't have any problems with what he says

Kobe is going to destroy PP. Book it.

Gentry addressing Kobe not forcing his own offense:

"There's a reason that he's the best basketball player in the world."

Don't pretend like you actually ignore me, I've already proven that you don't..
