trial thread: G6 celtics v. fakers

[cranrab]

at the most recent suggestion of pookie, i wanted to see how many would participate in a G6 thread ABOUT THE BASKETBALL THAT OCCURS.

this is not a thread to say "wow, ________ just got bammed on".

this IS a thread to see if anyone wants to discuss SPECIFIC plays and game trends in near real time, because we know nobody here can type at the same speed they can think.

one BASIC rule. since we aren't all watching the same broadcast, if you want to discuss a play (or group of plays which tend to illustrate a theme - bad fouls, a player who travels a lot, bad passing, poor dribbling), give the GAME CLOCK time if possible.

barring rest room breaks or refreshments, let's see how participation works in this thread.

 

[Spectrum]

I'll participate if I find a good feed online for the game.

 

[cranrab]

keysersoze, your services are requested!

 

[Spectrum]

^^

word. where is Keysersoze.. I'm gonna try to find one online somwhere...

 

[blacksmith69]

Yo, anybody got hd tv?

 

[cranrab]

alright, i'll go first.

i haven't seen any team build a house around a player like the fakers just did on kevin garnett since michigan state played larry bird. Q1 2:45

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Good to see Perk back in the game. For those that care, I didn't bet on this Game..lol. I was going to go with Lakers by 6, but backed out at the last second.

KG is coming out with good energy tonight..all those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches..

 

[cranrab]

rondo's FOUR steals mitigates his poor shooting so far.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

I don't like the two early fouls though..

 

[cranrab]

tobe's got 7 FGAs after 1. fakers are down 4. not a good look for the fakers.

that last shot (Q1 :22) was highly questionable. dribble out the shot clock and chuck a 27 footer for a 1 and done?

 

[cranrab]

I don't like the two early fouls though..

no problem if coach rivers plans to semi-bench him for Q4 again.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Pierce is 1 for 6 in the quarter.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Stop playing defense with your hands, Posey..

 

[cranrab]

coach rivers just picked up a T Q2 9:57 because tobe commited a foul going over eddie house's pick

pure bullshit call. tobe clubbed eddie house with his left arm.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Shut the fuck up, Doc..

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Larmar's (lack of) free throw shooting is a problem..

Phil Jackson is going with a more athletic (non-big Euro idiot) line up right now..

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

inconsistent calls..You let them play physical for stretches and then you call hand checks??

 

[cranrab]

so did you kick that whore of a wife out the house yet? don't forget to empty your safety deposit boxes first.

LOL!

 

[Spectrum]

Kobe and Pierce are shooting A LOT of 3 pointers..11 attempts between the two of them with 8:22 left in the second quarter

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Yeah, but I had to take care of Lester Diamond first..

If it makes you feel any better, I did made a side bet at my job. I win if Kobe takes more than 20 shots tonight

That's a suckers bet, because he's almost halfway there now.

 

[cranrab]

all but 1 of tobe's came from distance

 

[cranrab]

but no call for lamar odom scratching ray allen's retina.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Lakers are getting slaughtered on the boards tonight.

 

[Spectrum]

back to back 3s by the Celtics..

 

[cranrab]

anybody else wondering why tobe didn't attempt to take kevin garnett off the dribble just now?

i mean, world's greatest player , excellent handles , not even probing the D when you have a mismatch like that?

 

[cranrab]

all on the O boards too. 8-0

 

[Spectrum]

Lakers are getting slaughtered on the boards tonight.

word..celtics have 8 offensive rebounds...

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

People don't realize how much of a possession that Kobe takes when he goes one on one. If he makes those tough shots, you live with that...especially if you have the lead.

Allen's injury concerns me..

**EDIT-nevermind.**

 

[cranrab]

Allen's injury concerns me..

**EDIT-nevermind.**

i'm still concerned

 

[cranrab]

i mean, world's greatest player , excellent handles

Q2 5:35

thank you paul pierce.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Dumb move, Kobe...

**Note to self: reward yourself for not betting on this game.**

 

[cranrab]

great hustle kevin garnett. love to see that.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

KG really needs to stop spinning away from the contact and go to the middle of the court.

Good hook shot by Gasol..but you can live with that.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Phil has to be pissed that the Euros and shooting so much and not setting up the offense.

Lakers in the penalty..C's should open this up now.

 

[cranrab]

vladimir radmanovich gets his 1st FGA 20 minutes into G6. wonder if he's cold?

what could be the reason?
