*********Official Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals Thread********
- Thread starter lossless499
- Start date
can't knock that lakers for winning the title as it was well deserved but the stans act like they are a little disappointed in their idol's performance. Take your man a few posts up for example.
Did HNIC make a post that any wobe threads would result in an automatic ban? The board was more cluttered after they won the WCF.
Enjoy the W. The team earned it.
From what I read its "The Lakers won but Kobe played like shit." A bunch of cranrabs.
Boston defense did what it was designed to do. Make Kobe look bad on the offensive end but theres two sides. Kobe was the most consistent player in the series and deserved the Finals MVP.
Man haters gone hate let them do what they do
kobe played like shit tonight. it wasnt the celtics defense on him that caused him to miss al of those shots. some of them yes but not all of them. he had an extremely off shooting night. i thought gasol shouldve gotten the finals mvp but like i was reminded it wasnt based soley on tonights game.
how about no celtics shaking hands or not even doing the press conference. in 08 kobe went up and did his press conference after the lakers got that ass whooped.
people are not going to like kobe and they'll find any reason to hate lol

sad, sad day for Knicks fans........
what the hell, the Rapist and the Violet crew deserved it............I guess thats better than a Boston team winning any sort of championship.....still though, it was a no win situation

As I told u for the Lakers way before (page n°3), but damn ...
I also wrote Boston in 6 versus Orlando and France out in the first round of the World Cup . Next time , I'll bet on it as I should!

Which is exactly what happened. I wonder how many of you will come out and say the 'cast was overrated' and 'had no talent' now
So was it the defense that made him look bad or his lack of basketball IQ? Answer me this, did Boston play the same or similar defense on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade?
Gasol was definitely the most consistent player for the team throughout the season and playoffs. He made clutch baskets to win in the closeout games of both of their tough series. Not to mention he led LA in every single advanced statistic.
can somebody verify that he really just said that?
you can't take the stans serious and can't tell him he's wrong because he truly believes that is what happened. It's like trying to tell a 5 year old that there is no Santa Clause.

All of your laugh emoticons can't change the fact that Kobe now has one for every finger and back to back NBA Final MVP's.
I'll bet my bottom dollar history won't remember Kobe Bryant the way you will.
You're nothing more than a Kobe hater who can only see the negatives and none of the positives. That's why your opinion can't be taken seriously. You can nit-pick any player to death, and focus only on the areas they didn't excel in to bolster your opinion...
...but it's still an incomplete picture.
But, I know you're type. You have a need to do what you do.
amen.
this niggass on here act like kobe took their lunch money when they were little.
the fact is he has five rings and is going to the hof. nothing they can say will negate these two things. these 2 facts burn these guys up
can somebody verify that he really just said that?
Who was the most consistent player in the series? This was a knockdown drag out series. Nobody looked good but the best guy in the series was Kobe.
I don't get why anyone is saying Pau was the most consistent player. It's not like he or Kobe played great every game. Both had good and bad games.
Also, as the #1 option on the team, Kobe was going to get the MVP. I mean, I don't see why this is such a big shock. People like Kobe didn't show up this series. The dude was averaging thirty almost the entire series, and finished the series with 8 rebounds...
...while being the main focus on the Celtics defense. Of course it's going to be hard for him to put up great statistics. Hell, they were saying prior to game 7 that Kobe was the MVP even if the didn't win!

it's funny how ppl used to clown Gasol for being soft. He muscled the shit outta KG in game 7. Outrebounded him 18-3 out hustled him. KG's ass got old in this series. Plus, with all this talk about how great a coach Doc Rivers is, his ass fucked up last night, played his starters too much and they ran out of gas. Especially Pierce, 46 mins of having strong assed Artest laying on your ass?!?! He's as responsible for the loss as anybody. Your up double figures...give your starters a rest from time to time...

You're nuts.
Doc, once again, got his team up to play when everybody counted them out. If Scal plays any significant minutes or Mr. Parker play even one possession, the game is lost. The C's didn't lose this because they were tired. GTFOH with that shit.
I was going for Boston but real shit, the person Im happiest for the most is Ron Artest. Dude has been through alot and you can tell from that press conference he's truly happy with his performance and the ring.
from inside hoops.
I tend to agree...however if the C's made their shots it would have been a moot point.
It's home court advantage for a reason.
the C's lost because they couldnt capitalize on the Lakers mistakes and they couldnt rebound. the lakers shot 26% at halftime and were only down like 6pts. The C's have a knack of getting something started than stop going to it. Wallace in the post was a problem and they stopped going to it.
Rebounding killed them.
That 26% figure is misinterpreted. It wasn't like the Lakers were missing a bunch of wide open jumpers. They were missing a lot of shots at the basket cuz the C's were defending greatly and either block or significantly altered those shots, however the length of the Lakers was killing them, resulting in several offensive rebounds. 2-3 Celtics were contesting almost all of the shots Pau and Bynum were putting up, so when they forced a miss there was no one left to rebound.
yep..that and the careless turnovers..
people can bitch about the free throws in the 4th....but Boston shouldnt have been in that situation in the first place...
im convinced now... Ron is fucking OFF
I've known since he was with Indiana that Ron was on medication.
as a hoyas fan i should have known about Artest from his St. John's days. Didnt he break/crack a couple of Jordan's ribs in a scrimmage some yrs ago? anyways i bet dude is layed up somewhere with a massive hangover
Well I'm eating just about everything I posted in this thread. It's tough to swallow, but congrats Laker fans and bandwaggoners!!
LA proved me wrong on everything I criticized them about. That my friends is what makes basketball the sport it is. Tobe realized something last night though. No matter how hard he worked or how hard he tried, Kobe could not defeat the C's D. It took Phil to pull Kobe Early in the 4th for him to understand the offense that needed to be ran. Kobe listened and trust the system. You can say what you about how the game was officiated, but it was an awesome game 7 with plenty of drama. LA dominated the boards and they simply just wanted more.
The C's knew they had to play a perfect game to win it, but fell just short. Im really proud of the C's and whether people want to admit this or not, the Celtics have changed how the game should be played in the league and motivated the Lakers to be what they should be. Defense and Team!!
Don't know what will happen to these C's next year [Starting 5 is still undefeated ;-) ], but if healthy with some fresh good young talent. The Big three may just come back for another run. People was so sure this year, but they ended up dismantling teams in the playoffs and changed the face of several franchises.

i agree with every word of this.
NOBODY said:
CO_SIGN neither Kobe or Gasol was having a good shooting game UNTIL CRUNCH TIME at the 6:11 mark. Check out the play by play and tell me if this isn't how WINNERS WIN...Oh yeah check the SIG when you finish looking at this

Celtics NBA Finals Thread********
another ignorant non-reading bastard.
some of us actually attend games.
when did you go back? thought you were in LA.
his 4 consecutive poor plays are what sparked the fakers rally.

Anybody have a good stream? I'm in Korea watching this shit in ultra low quality?

I'm disappointed in the Celtics, what a way to go out and can't blame the refs either they backed off the whistle most of the game and let them play for the most part. They just could not convert on second chance opportunities(crashing the boards and getting to the line) and gave up too many rebounds which is credited to the awesome performance of the Lakers big men. Don't even get me started on Ray-Ray
