Go Boston Celtics!!!

[newbie1221]

game 1 just finished and it was a great game, close game throughout. Just wanted to spread my excitement right now. :):D GO CELTICS, BEAT LA!! :):D

[JimmyMcGee]

Let's See are the Celtics going to Follow in the Red Sox Shoes Or the Patriots Shoes? Excellent Jubilation or Crushing Defeat? Hmmm...

[extraducksauce]

Boooooo! Go LAKERS!!

well i'm obviously hoping they follow the soxs, but it was only game 1 and both teams were getting adjusted to the playing style of the other. Celtics d was slacking, LA's pick and roll was killing us but LA's d wasn't that great either. Putting garnett in the post up is something we need to do more of, can't wait till Sunday for GAME 2.. :D

[newbie1221]

Boooooo! Go LAKERS!!

LOL, my feelings are the exact opposite. BOOOOO LA, GO CELTS!! i forsee us winning this series AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP in 6 games. 3 IN BOSTON AND 1 IN LA. :D WE'LL SEE SUNDAY. :)

I'm definitely for BOOOOOO BOSTON. Boston has no finals experience nor do most of the players on the team so that's a huge downside. This is Doc River's first Final's appearance and the Zen Master has won 10 (not to mention the many other times he was there but lost). Let's see, Raja Bell had his turn, Bruce Bowen, and probably the whole Boston team will get a shot at him, but Kobe will get through ;) Once again, great offense ALWAYS trumps great defense. Lakers will win in 5...max 6.

I'm sorry but you can bring KG, Alonzo Mourning, Tim Duncan, Raja Bell, (the list continues on forever....), and they still wont stop him. I'm not all over him, but since i'm a huge fan of the game (been playing since i was 7ish and now i play high school ball), seeing such a player like that is just amazing. One thing you should remember, great offense will ALWAYS AND FOREVER trump great defense. History proves it ;) . . .

I agree with you that Kobe is an amazing player - ask most people here in Colorado what they think of him as a person and you will get a far less complimentary assessment. That said, although I am a Boston fan I am also a Gasol fan, and my initial impression was that Kobe and Gasol would be too much for the Celtics, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Celtics took game one. The heroics of Pierce were inspiring. I am glad that it looks like it will be an exciting series (like the NHL final was!), and not a walkover. I would still bet on Lakers to win but I hope it goes 7.

Thanks for that productive post.:rolleyes:

[newbie1221]

looks like i'm flying solo rooting for the celts! :D it's all good, i'm a bostonian and have been all of my life, so i guess you can figure out my view on this series is kinda, (or really) bias. :D One more day and i'll be back on this board. Hopefully still bashin' on LA. LOL, later guys.

with that AWESOME Celts road record, we'll see about that.

Ughh, those refs pised me off so bad--i felt like smashing all of them into the wall. WTH were those gay calls? Apparently, Kobe has to be shot down in order to get a foul or smacked on the face where as Rondo or Allen just have to be tapped. Lakers will still take it tonight--even if those gay refs don't cooperate.

i doubt they will take it tonight, boston d is on point tonight. Defensive boards and stops all day. Offense running the way it's suppose to, 11-0 run in the third with bryant on the court and no help from the refs, no bs call in second half so far. those fouls called on bryant first half, 2 of 3 he deserved running through celtics trying to break the screen? no good... Powe was killing the post in both halfs and rondo is doing a hell of a job running offense.

[kareeem]

There's been a whole load of crap calls in the third. I'll say that the lakers are playing like crap as well. HORRIBLE SHOT SELECTION. BENCH NEEDS to step up and wth did Powe COME FROM!?!!? This just pissed me off.

:) The celts bench has a pretty good arsenal, mix of veteran and rooks that are ready at a moments notice. Powe, he finally got of the bench, he's always produced when needed. Only reason why he doesn't see much time is because perkins is mostly on the floor. :D And LA's D just isn't there. Up 20 pts going into the forth, BEAT LA!!!

[newbie1221]

Didn't like how it ended but the celts WIN!!! 2-0 BEAT LA!!!! :D

[kareeem]

Well, if you're the Lakers, you're probably super pissed off, but then again feel some sort of relief. After playing one of the CRAPIEST games of the season and Boston playing amazingly, you manage getting the game to 2 points and a chance at the win. Not bad if you ask me. Had the refs not been so gay, LA would have had a chance to take the Finals back in LA. I still think lakers will get it in 6 (yes 4 straight).

well the celts played amazing D then got stupid in the forth and just let LA get the open looks they wanted and made. I'll give LA credit they have an array of guys who are spot up 3 point killers. Hitting 6 3's in the forth is just unacceptable.

LOL 4 straight? i dont think so. Boston takes game 4 and 6, Game over.

Don't worry even if LA comes back the Celtics will take one from the play book of the Patriots and find a way to cheat.

Besides the NBA is not a real sport. It has become entertainment more then anything. Honestly you could call a foul in the NBA on about every play. The refs make a huge deciding factor on the outcome of the game. To me....that is not a sport.

To an extent yes. We always hear it that if you want to watch good basketball to become a better player, watch college basketball which is true. My coach even said WNBA is acceptable to get your game up. The NBA is...well the NBA. The NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS, are all not real sports. They are leagues, associations, etc. What is being played is a sport reguardless of how it's played. Lakers still take it in 6.

[extraducksauce]

unf'ing believable Lakers.............. argh.

[newbie1221]

BEAT LA!!!! YAAAAAAAWHOOOOO!!!! what a f'kin come back, eat that. CELTICS ALL DAY. One more and the championship is ours :D :D

[extraducksauce]

hate to say it, but the lakers deserve to lose after that awful performance.

I agree. I couldn't believe they could lose it like that. That's even worse then getting blow out. I have to give Boston credit though. Their defense in the 2nd half was phenomenal. They always say defense wins championships and it shows it right there.

I think the Patriots learned that earlier this year :)

Down as much as 24 in the 1st quarter.......21 at the end of 1.......down 18 at half and 20 in the third and then WHAMO......Game.....set.....match!

No director in Hollywood could write that story book ending! Boston will still be undefeated vurses the Lakers in NBA Finals History! Can you say 9-0 here we come!

I can only say it likt the guy in the fantasy football commercials....."Hooshmazilli........Championship!!!!"

~22~

[newbie1221]

:D:D THE TITLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, LA couldn't hang with Boston, and we won it just as i predictated!!! :D :D YAY BOSTON!!!

[gc14]

I think the word that best describes Game 6 would have to be...DOMINATION :D

what about the 80s (Magic and company) putting to the Celtics three times in a row? did you forget that? when we (the Lakers) and you were both the dominant force in our respective conferences.

i do have to say, as a die hard laker fan, that was an absolute shellacking . . . credit to garnett, pierce, allen, and others. in the meantime, the celts are still lame. :p

[grandpareza]

131....wow.

[Pull9Gs]

Isnt the number of games they played post season also a record? 27 I think...
