It's over. Let the LeBron sweepstakes truly commence.
..smart ass 9-1. But I'm just saying the Celts won't get rattled when facing the Lakers in their hometown. They are playing well and their bench is coming up big. I just don't see them winning the next two games. Maybe game 6, but if Bynum starts getting injured again, they have no chance.
Nope, the Celtics aren't going rattle. We've been rattled.
We're going to have to earn this, there is no way around it. There just isn't. I wish there were, I have no problem goosin the ring count further on shaved pussy. This isn't Orlando, nor Philly, nor Indy, nor Jersey.
To an extent it matters. That being said, Boston's season is also on the line tomorrow. Win and banner #18 becomes a reality. Lose and the Lakers have life again and a game 7 at home in which they will win.
The proposition that Game 7 falls to the Lakers is without an ounce of merit.
You NEVER want to give a team like LA life especially in this situation (with games 6 and 7 being at home). I know Boston has 2 chances to close it out but tomorrow nights game is literally their best chance. They have to win this game.
They got life knowing they don't have to play again in Boston's arena.
At the moment, it doesn't look good for LA. I said "at the moment". Playing at Staples does help but to what extent? Gasol is gonna have to bring it. Same for Odom,Fisher,Bynum, Artest etc etc. A victory in game 6 tips the scale right back in the Lakers favor. This isn't going to be easy by any means. Lakers haven't been closed out at Staples since 2003 (which was the only time in that stadium).
Based on what empirical evidence, Guy? There's no paper trail that lends itself to your hypothesis.
the Celts see the Lakers' blood in the water, with two chances to make the kill.
I don't see how the Lakers will be any more fired up than the Celts.
The Celts are by far the more physical, aggressive, intimidating blue-collar team with all the momentum now.

That's just ass wipe materiel there.
I hate to say it's all about the refs, but it's really all about the refs.
IF the Celtics are allowed to hack, push, shove, and manhandle the Lakers in the paint they will win most games. They weren't allowed to do this in Games 1, 2, or 3 and it affected their play severely. In Boston, after Doc's tirade, they were given a lot more la ude and the end result was something that looked eerily similar to 2008.
Don't expect the Celtics to get the same kind of ref treatment in LA. It won't happen, if the refs even try to do that there will literally be rioting in the arena and massive chaos. The Celtics will have to play solid defense WITHOUT fouling, their role players must come up big, AND they need their Big 3 to play good games.
I'm confident LA will win Game 6. It's Game 7 that worries me.
Lakerfan complaining about refs may be the most pathetic event that can occur in the realm of sports fandom.
To say that the refs allowed the Celtics to manhandle the Lakers in Games 4 and 5 is REALLY stretching it. If they call the games like they did in 1, 2 and 3, I'll be mightily pissed. D&C, did you think the reffing during those games was fun to watch? The ridiculous amount of fouls? Shoot, why not make them wear helmets and shoulderpads while they're out there? We wouldn't want people getting hurt!
+10000000
Seriously, here in LA that all the Lakerfans talk about. It's so annoying.
Switch it around, if the San Antonio Celtics were losing 3-2 your fans would be doing likewise. It's the nature of the beast.
I never complained about the Spurs losing, maybe other spurs fans. But I gave credit, I EVEN SAID the Suns will in in 6 games. I thought they were the better team.
Many called Celtics in 6. It's no surprise they'll once again prevail over the Lakers.
Being second best is still ok.
I think realistically. I'm not a blind homer, here I even quote myself
I never complained about Manu's nose injury or another excuse some Spur fans make. I just simply give them props and give no excuses, thus also meaning NOT BLAMING the refs.I think the Suns will win tonight game. I actually predicted that the Suns are going to win this series in 6 games. I just think this Suns team has a better chance at dethroning the Spurs this year than years past. However, I'll keep cheering for my boys in silver and black and hope they prove me wrong.
Nope. The Spisak Manifesto is quite clear on this point:
1. Make the playoffs.
2. Win the last game you play.
There is nothing else.
If it's all about the refs, the Lakers will win the series.
