The Lakers should drain Bynum over night one last time.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2009/2010 NBA Champions, The Los Angeles Lakers.
Good. Didn't even have to show up Thursday night.
Like shaved pussy.
Perkins playing wasn't going to stop the inevitable.
Seriously, I don't think this is a big loss. Yeah they lost another big, but I think starting Big baby and letting Wallace come off the bench would still produce a good amount. Then again, the only thing that the Celtics need to worry is being effective while playing small ball or have Sheldan Williams step up to produce in 5-7 minutes.
Sheed seems to play better man defense on Gasol than anyone on the Celtics anyways. The refs just need to quit calling bull fouls on him. Plus him and big baby both seem to be more active on the glass and are bigger offensive threats. Celtics should still be able to pull it off, but it will most likely be a classic game down to the wire.
So, Kam & Stretch, last night you lost because Perkins went down early on, but, now this morning his absence Thursday night will have no impact.
doubtful he's on the court much, he got saddled with foul trouble the last Finals game 7 he played, and he wasn't playing the lakers
Hows your coffee this morning?So, Kam & Stretch, last night you lost because Perkins went down early on, but, now this morning his absence Thursday night will have no impact.
Sheed playing more than 30 minutes is such a huge risk for them, specially in a game with this magnitude. Things are going to get chippy and emotions will run high. Sheed must be at his absolute best behavior.
Could go either way with Sheed. He's the type of guy that can kill the Celtics chances altogether as soon as he steps on the court. But he also is the type of guy in this very situation that relishes the moment, find his rhythm with the more minutes, and hit 5-of-7 three pointers and completely change the tenor of the game because of his ability to shoot the longball. The Lakers better hope that Perkins' injury doesn't become a blessing in disguise for the Celtics.
i never said anything about the Celtics losing because Perkins was hurt.So, Kam & Stretch, last night you lost because Perkins went down early on, but, now this morning his absence Thursday night will have no impact.
all i've said here, is that while his presence will be missed, Davis and Sheed both are more gifted and talented players that if one or both get hot, will most definitely overcome the loss of Perkins.
Perkins being out changes everything.
Rebounds win championships. Without Perkins, the Lakers have a decisive rebounding advantage. We saw that last night as the Lakers pummeled the Celtics on the glass. Also, Perkins is really the only guy the Celtics have who can effectively neutralize any Laker big without getting into foul trouble.
Sheed can be deadly if he's draining 3's, but he's really only good in spurts at this point in his career. I think if you had him out there a full game you'd see a marked dropoff, which is why Doc Rivers made a point to play Sheldon Williams so many minutes.
Sorry if yoiu guys missed me! I just woke up from a coma after I had the best orgasm of my life once I found out that POErkisn is injured!!!!!!
Is there anything stopping the 15 time NBA champion Lakers of LosAngeles led by the GOAAT Kobe "Jellybean" Bryant aka the Black Mamba and mthe most feared man in North American Sports history!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?
If the Lakers can pull this off I will be the happiest man ever!!!! ME along with my other lakers fans will not commit suicide because we need the Lakers to feel good about ourselves because we lack so much in other areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111
In the three games Boston won, Kendrick pulled down 6, 7, and 7 rebounds respectively. He was solid on the boards but he wasn't the reason the Celtics were beating the Lakers on the glass. It was guys like Rondo and Glen Davis crashing the boards and then KG taking a dump on Gasol's head in game 5. Kendrick is a loss, but the Lakers technically should have had the rebounding edge the entire series. It has been more about effort when it comes to the rebounding game this series.
Where Perkins will be missed most is just in eating up minutes. It hurts the Celtics depth because more than likely Shelden Williams will have to play some short minutes and Doc will have to extend KG and Rasheed. The good thing about that is that it doesn't really matter for this game because it's game 7, end of the season. Don't have to save anyone for the next game. I expect that KG was going to play close to 40 minutes any way. I suspect KG, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, Kobe, and Gasol will all play close to 40 minutes or more tomorrow night anyway. Phil might have a hard time taking Kobe out of the game at all.
Wait a second...you just provided a clear basketball non-biased opinion without once overly describing the greatness of the 15 time NBA champion Lakers of Los Angeles...Is that even possible???????????????????
Your hump. Your hump. Your lovely lady BUMPS.
I think Kobe plays 46 mins Game 7.Also, the Celtics were atrocious last night at grabbing rebounds... I don't remember how many times balls bounced off their hands. They didn't secure anything.
They were atrocious all around. Missed 2 or 3 dunks, about 5 missed EASY layups/putbacks, missing wide open jumpers, not boxing out on the glass... they looked completely uninterested and lacked energy. What are they going to do about Rondo? IMO they really need give him some more picks to try to mix things up more. this way, they can get someone slower switched onto him, as opposed to kobe, so he can still find ways to penetrate.I think Kobe plays 46 mins Game 7.
The 1-2 pick and roll with Nelson and Carter would work very well for Allen and Rondo. The change would be that Allen goes to an open spot for 3 and Rondo gets switched to Fisher.
Not that hard to defend that PNR because Kobe plays off Rondo so much anyway. He just stays under the screen and let's Fisher maneuver through. The pick-and-roll would have to be 10 feet away from the basket in order to be effective instead of out at the three point line, which makes no sense in terms of offering enough space. That or Rondo has to start making 20 foot jumpshots consistently. Don't think that's going to happen, at least not enough to force the Lakers to completely change their strategy on how they defend Rondo. If Rondo does start making them, then I think the Lakers let the Celtics win the le that way.
prepare the vandalism fest on downtown LA already
Congrats LA
Wrong. Perkins does a great job of sealing his man off and not allowing him to get the rebound. He may not get credited for the actual board, but anyone actually watching or paying attention can see that when he's in the game the Celtics magically start rebounding better.
If he gets a pick set while driving to the hoop, I think that could end up being pretty effective. I think it would definitely create some issues for the Lakers defensive rotations.
