***Official Game 1 of the NBA Finals Lakers vs Celtics Thread***

You know, I do think Doc's idea that the T's shouldn't carry over makes sense, and not just cause I'm a Boston homer. Refs will give a double-T alot more than a singular, to make guys aware they're calling it tightly. It just punishes the players who play in the post if they go far into the postseason.

Uh, uh, none of that crapola. If Doc thought that way he should've gathered his fellow NBA coaches and lobbied New York and Stern to change the rules MONTHS ago, not now when he finds himself in the .

He's a disingenuous little prick and is in dire need of an ass pounding....

.....we're just about to see if we can get 'er done.

I don't think Doc was saying the rule should be changed NOW. Just looked at after the off-season. Which it should.

Ln, please. He's trying to impact the rules for this series. Like Phil does each series and everybody casts him down for it. Now the shoe is on the other foot and you expect me to let this go without calling ass?

[Killakobe81]

who cares? they ALL do it ...
Doc and other make snide remarks about Phil's "mind games"

BUT they all try to get edges through the media like when Doc was whining about Howard's illegal elbows ...

[Dr. Gonzo]

This series is going to suck.

Everybody wants to contrast it with the '80 series and those players, but, that set of cir stances is long gone. This is more like professional rasslin'. It's more of a brotherhood now. Back then there was genuine hate. Now, it's played that way (for us), but, behind the curtain they're talkin' the Crash and dividing up the booty.

Eh, perhaps you're right.

Six hours to tip:::booty holes be gettin' tight.

Well, Ray Allen and Kobe certainly don't seem to like each other much.
