Celtics need to tighten up on their defense and find a way to limit Gasol from driving to the lane. I do like how they're making Kobe force shots by switching defenders on him though.

This is it. This is for all the marbles and is the big ratings game for the NBA and $tern.

Here's hoping the series is called down the middle and both teams are allowed to play without interference from the zebras.

HAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Ah you kill me! Lakers have a game being called without ref interference! You and the jokes!

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Perkins needs to move faster and jump higher when he's that close to the rim. The Celtics need to play better, smarter, and more intense while Kobe is not hitting his shots.

Garnett? HOLD ON TO THE DAMN BALL!

Edit: Uh oh, the zebras are flexing their muscles and giving the Lakers their calls now.

Well............here we go. Refs making f-ed up calls!

As much as I want the Lakers to lose, Posey could have seriously hurt Kobe. He should have gotten a tech at least.

Why isn't Garnett posting up?! Noone on the Lakers can guard him downlow.

I'd honestly wish the refs wouldn't make any calls at all than to call some of the bs they call sometimes. Somethings are clearly no calls but they seem to call it on Boston. But if the Lakers do it, then they just miss it.

Don't forget that one of the officials is Dick Bavetta who has a history of helping out the Lakers in playoff scenarios and championship games.

Celtics are playing dumb right now and can't hold on to the ball. They're choking under pressure already it seems like.

And how come almost all of the Celtivcs team is in foul trouble but no one on the Lakers squad is in foul trouble?

 

[LastSunrise1981]

That was a piss poor 2nd quarter from the Celtics. They keep playing like ******ed step children they'll end up getting swept.

Very glad to see Paul Pierce come back after a scary injury moment.

Where are the basketball fans of the thread? I thought Laker fans were confident that they had this in the bag and would be on this forum talking their smack?

Perkins is clumsy as hell! Gawd!

It's past their bedtime

Explains why the bandwagoners aren't here then.

Believe me, DarthRekal will be in here as soon as the game is over......either to brag about a Lakers win or to complain about how Boston got it.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Come on Boston! Beat LA!!!!!!!!

I want you to beat the living hell out of the LA snobs and send their bandwagon fanbase crying to their beds.

 

[Docker2.0]

What the f is Doc Rivers doing?! Cassell is playing stupid so why not play House?! He played great against Cleveland and now he just stopped playing him. Same with Big Baby.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Boston is playing this game too close and they need to increase the lead while Kobe is sitting down and obviously struggling. Boston can win this game if they played smarter and Garnett needs to take Turiaff on the low block.

No one can guard Garnett on the low block, he seems to be settling for jumpshots rather than trying to get an easy lay-up or dunk.

COME ON BOSTON!!!! BEAT LOS ANGELES!!!!!! I want you to beat them so bad that their bandwagon fanbase is brought down to earth.

my faith in luke walton has sank to a new low.

 

[BlackLantern]

is it me or is Boston outrebounding the hell out of LA all night??

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Tell the "Zen Master" to sit his goofy ass down! Where are the bandwagoners now? Boston needs to put this out of reach so the Lakers cannot make their usual and predictable fourth quarter rush.

You had faith in Luke?

 

[Jspider13]

You had faith in Luke?

notice the phrasing "new low"

 

[LastSunrise1981]

That was such a ******** call there. That was a charge that Odom should've picked up and they gave LA a typical superstar call.

 

[JaD]

Yes, let's go Celtics!

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Pierce got fouled on that drive to the hoop. I think the officials are intentionally trying to stretch this game out to increase ratings and give Stern his money.

 

[Docker2.0]

Wow! Boston won. I see I was wise to pick them in game 1. But game 2.......it's going to be the Kobe show. Dude is going to come out and get 60!
