Nothings better than watching the lakers lose
its cool that the series is tied up and its evenly match...but if I wernt a fan of any of these two teams, I'd think this finals is boring as .
I rather be watching Glee.
agree?
Nothings better than watching the lakers lose
I thought the last few minutes were pretty much exciting.
The Spurs winning isnt better?
eh? the part where the Lakers were trying to comeback from a 9 point deficit?
Kobe and Fisher in the final minutes of a game within 10 points makes the game more exciting. You never know when they are going to catch fire and bring the game back themselves with their 3s.
Boston's defense just makes it a much more decent game the last few minutes when they tightened up.
Good series for sure.
I'm pretty sure he was referring to the agony of the laker player's faces when they lost the game...
yah the last 2 minutes..if kobe and fisher made thier tech ft's and didnt turn it over or do the paul pierce "and 1"....woulda been crazy since kobe hit that last 3.
Games 1,2, and 3 felt like I was just watching the clock on the game run down and didn't really offer too much suspense, but tonights game was the first I've actually enjoyed as a basketball fan. Hopefully the rest of the series is this way, because Game 1 was by far the most boring game I have ever watched, I've never changed the channel from basketball to home improvement until Game 1 of these finals
i only thought it was intense cuz the scoreboard was real close till the 4th. But the actual action (shots made, fast breaks etc) was horrible.
Agreed with the OP.
Seeing Nate Robinson and Big Baby in there willing the C's to a win was exciting for me. I love seeing guys that may not have been blessed with the typical athletic build, making up for it with supreme effort. Robinson shooting down the lane and throwing up shots against 7 footers is exciting for me.
Not to mention as a Spurs fan, I get more excited for solid D than I do flawless Offense. And the way Tony and Ray were up in Kobes tonight contesting everything was pretty good
sort of reminds me of the '05 pistons-spurs finals where there were a lot fo low scores. same with the '03 finals.
yeah, it's pretty boring. hopefully game 5 goes down to the last second.
I like the flow of these games so far. Pretty entertaining Finals IMO. Although there is no real animosity between these two teams.
i've noticed that. no posey, house. Tony Allen just does his job defensively and doesn't try to start anything with Bryant.
the only guy that LA seems to have a beef with is Perkins, but obviously that only due to the fact that they're try to lure him into getting a double t.
If it wasn't for the play being stopped every other possesion it'd be a lot mroe entertaining.
I really think the NBA needs to change the tech-suspension rule for the playoffs. Perkins is not playing physical BB like he did in 2008.
Being a Spursfan, i think its a little easier to appreciate the uglier side of basketball, like we are seeing in this series. Its more like a war of attrition, both teams fighting every possession like its the last one.
Despite the lack of pure 'quality' basketball, im really enjoying this series.
Meh its the most entertaining series since spurs/mavs, but I've changed channels a few times
I've actually found them to be pretty entertaining. Lots of physical play, some tough shots being hit, close games, lots of emotion from the players. May not be a ton of scoring, but I've definitely been more entertained by this finals than any in quite some time. Arguably the best of the decade so far, only rivaled by 2005.
Last years = lame
2008 = lakers getting their pushed in again, but in 6.
2007 = *yawn*
2006 = actually a pretty decent finals with 3 of the games going down to the final few seconds. result wasnt in my favor though. but in the eyes of a casual fan, an underdog team coming back from an 0-2 deficit is pretty entertaining and a good story. not to mention the other shady stories surrounding it...
2005 = it was good, but sometimes gets overrated, mainly by spurs fans. lots of really low scoring games/blowouts. there was really only 2 games that were truly entertaining (big shot bob GW / game 7). but at least it went 7 games and was pretty compe ive.
2004 = lakers got massively upset, but the games weren't incredibly fun.
2003 = *yawn*
2002 = *yawn*
2001 = *yawn*
2000 = decent, but not all that special.
These Finals are much more compe ive than last year's, and great defense is being played.
I enjoyed the games.
The series is really missing something. My expectations was of epic proportions. I was expecting a lot of physical play, hard fouls, trash talking just like 2008 only this time the Lakers would have more weapons to counter Boston's gameplan but so far it has been disappointing. But the league office made sure none of those happened, T'ing up players for showing emotions and calling every unimaginable fouls possible.
I've seen everything from these two teams that I want to see.
Still better than last year. Orlando's probably the worst team to make it to the finals I've ever seen.
The 07 Cavs are a close second.
Overall, a rather ty playoffs with all the blowouts and sweeps. Not a whole lot of memorable basketball.
For whatever reason, I think the NBA is in the doldrums.
well the Celtics are bringing all the intensity and excitement. The lakers are boring and lame as .
and the fakers now are carrying the torch. congrats. don't worry the refs will bail you out and Lakers will torture the nation with 2 more boring wins.
