Rate the Finals So Far

[LnGrrrR]

Really, no game has been a blowout, and many of the games have featured unexpected performances: Bynum playing great, Allen going from world-beater to beat-up, Fisher's heroics in Game 3.

What do you give it?

2.6/10

[ezau]

Great series, save for some spotty officiating on both sides.

[Amarelooms]

still bad shooting and play by both teams...don't give me the D bull ...missing open shots all over. 7 out of 10 at best

[BullsDynasty]

Won't beat the Spurs - Pistons series 2005, that was an epic series

[IronMexican]

A compe ive series with 3 close games so far. Refs just need to leave some leeway on both ends of the court.

[ducks]

never seeen fisher take over a whole 4 quarter
big shots but not a whole 4

First time the Finals have been tied since '06, but the officiating has really put a damper on things (that "blocking foul" on Bryant was ridiculous tonight).

4.5/10

[DPG21920]

We blew you out the first game. The Lakers are obviously the better team. Boston has needed a record setting night from Gay Allen, who still sucks ass by the way, and an out of this world performance from their bench to win two games. Having said that. If Bynum is done, this changes the tide in the Celtics favor.

Even with no Bynum (which is not certain) LA is the better team. That is clear. LA can blow Boston out, Boston can't do the same to LA.

No Bynum evens it out a bit, but LA is still better imo.

Far and away THE Finals gem of the decade (even accounting for the blowouts in the first four games)

6/10

The refs have been extremely poor, stopping too many plays and calling the game too tight(tonight wasn't as bad in regards to the ticky-tack calls though), too much sloppy play..

It looks like it's picking up though, tonight's game was the most enjoyable of the 4 IMO..

That benefits the Celtics, imho.

[DesignatedT]

Too many whistles. Foul foul foul.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Those were the cavs' fans' rating from the last Spurs finals.

I agree. Just let them play.

[xellos88330]

I give it an 8. Pretty good series so far. It would be a 10 if the Lakers weren't playing. HAHA!!! J/K!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

No one watched.

Doesn't change the fact that it was a uva series. Nice try.

[florige]

No one watched.

Yeah right. You know you cancelled all your plans to watch that game 7 liar.

[Darrin]

It has had some suprising performances, but with the exception of the Celtics in game four, there hasn't been some spectacular team play. The series might be close, but it's not great. I gave it a seven, but really, it's like eating a half-heated hot pocket.

[hitmanyr2k]

I give it a 7 mainly because of Games 3 and 4. I'm loving seeing the unlikely heroes (Fisher, Big Baby, Nate) come through while the star players kind of disappear when the game is on the line

Huh? A fully-cooked hot pocket would be a 2/10 at best. I gave it an 8/10 so far, since 3 of the games have been great and since Boston's bench is really stepping up to save their declining starters.

[sribb43]

is rigged...this will go 7 per Stern

[MavDynasty]

too many ing whistles tbh

still a good series though..wish the games ended with a closer score though...maybe go into an overtime

[ezau]

No one watched.

because the Lakers didn't make the playoffs.
