He obviously isn't referring to 8.
You were like Portland:::you couldn't function at full capacity unless we were in the same building. & last night the Heat were having none of it.
McHale took care of ya though. Got you straightened out. You've nothing to be ashamed of.

Seems an overwhelming smell of skunk just entered the topic tbh
Sure did. But I'd rather we go down fighting figuratively, rather than literally.
I think it was a success, and despite a rocky road to the le in '08 they deserved
it. Got a tough break in '09. And in '10 I think they tanked in the Finals but were also
robbed. I give no cred to this Lakers repeat. The last real champions of the league
were the '08 Celtics. So, for me the undisputed le is now up for grabs.
Re ed take by Mike and Mike.
Had KG never gotten hurt in 09, Celtics would have been in the NBA Finals 3 years in a row. It's not a failure at all. They rang and that's all that matters.
Yup. It happens.
None taken.
Then don't back up on Artest ever again.

Only pussys cite injury & officiating excuses.
And don't let us win by 30+ in a clinching game of the Finals
Then don't lie about not returning to Los Angeles.And don't let us win by 30+ in a clinching game of the Finals
If only Ray Allen could've made one basket in that game in the crunch. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
But everyone lies. Heck, your Kobe said he thought their team could come back from 3-0. Course, you could always use the Liar, Lord or Lunatic argument for him.
That don't count. There was no free agency, so no team could break up your championship nucleus by overpaying for a key player like we see nowadays. Back then if your team was stacked, it was stacked forever. Plus there were only about 3 good teams back then including Boston. Color me unimpressed with Russell's rings.
Pfft qualifiers. You either ring or you don't. Repeating adds some shine to the rings, is all.That don't count.

meh they won a ring they otherwise would not have gotten if the big 3 stayed with their respective teams. they've also become the toughest team in the NBA. i thought they were done after KG's injury but they didn't go down easy. pushing the magic to the brink in 2009 was very impressive. contrary to the whimper the spurs barely gave after losing ginobili, the celtics refused to give even an inch.
the 2010 run was impressive as well considering their health. they were one perkins injury away from winning the le despite their aging core. even this year they fought until the end every game despite their inevitable fall to the heat. compare that to the completely healthy lakers laying down and spreading their legs for dallas. they are done and have pretty much been done since KG's injury but still refuse to die easy.
boils down to lakers stole celtics big three thunder with stern's help
The Dope||the goods. He's right, we denied them. & it's been that way since June.9.1985.
There is one success and 29 failures every year. So for their 4 years so far they are 25% successfull and 75% failure.
It's that simple.
Lakers over that time 50-50.
Whoever wins this year gets the other 25% over the last 4 years.
All other teams.... 0% success and 100% failure.
It's not over yet, while KG is well past his prime, Rondo is a tremendous player picked with a lower first rounder. They will do another run next season. So far it has been 1 championship and 1 finals in four years, so the Celtics have been successful.
They had bad luck with injuries, in 2009 was KG, then in 2010 Perkins and this season Shaq and Rondo.
Lots of elite teams would trade for Boston's situation just for one ring...
Not a failure, but a "what might have been"
they are looking like the pistons of the previous decade. if thats a failure then the celtics are too. to me if you win its great, but at the end of the day isiahs pistons won at least 2, current lakers won 2, hakeems won 2, dr j as well. like jordan told ray allen winning 1 is luck. winning 2 is serious business
