Artest has to remember - play without the offense son.

Nice hustle by Farmar

1 of the highlights of the game.

but G6 was decided in the 1st half by poor celtics D and mismanagement of the ball by kendrick perkins and paul pierce.

I'll fill in for Cranrab



"You see what happened when Kobe left the floor, Lakers went on a 4 point run to PUSH the lead. Of course if you dummies knew anything about basketball, you'd understand why

close, but still need work.

Man this ninja throwing underhand passes on the fastbreak....in traffic....what the fuck is he doing

not only poor passing mechanics, the spin and angle of the pass throws off the recipients.

worse still was the poor decision making to literally attempt hand off passes in the paint. that shit is OK on the playground and maybe high school, but with NBA athletes, it's just stupid.

Farmer posterizing?!

not surprising. remember that prior to shannon brown, jordan farmar was the fakers best leaper.

Did this nigga just miss a Dunk?

Man its OV for tonight. Niggaz out here missing dunks and shit

You know it's bad for the C's when garbage ass Sheldon Williams is getting burn!!!

of course this had to be about sheldon williams. the only way he sees time is due to the kendrick perkins injury.

Doc put Nate in too late.

game was already over by then.

coach rivers said that he threw in the towel in Q3.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! THIS IS THE SCENE AT CRANRAB'S HOUSE AS WE SPEAK!!!!

except for the fact that i was at G6 and not at home.

 

[cranrab]

Celtics NBA Finals Thread********

Like i said about the last few games, the lack of defense, hustle and making shots is what was hurting the Lakers

"They were terrific," Boston head coach Doc Rivers said. "I thought they just showed great trust. And the more they got it going, the more everybody got involved."

And it wasn't just the fact that everyone got involved, , but it was the way they made their mark.

this is an excellent example of why pookie is such a basketball moron.

notice that he bolded and increased the font size of the sports "journalist", and completely disregarded the comment of the NBA champion head coach rivers.

pookie is the lemming that regurgitates what he hears/reads from sports "journalists" and excludes/disregards the valued source.

I don't give a damn who is out there. As long as pau gasol, lamar odom, ron artest and derek fisher is there the Lakers will be winning this thing.

fixed

Let's place bets.... On how many pages this thread will be if....


Boston wins the title

La wins the title


I say, upon winning the title this thread adds 3 pages if la wins. Meaning from the time the game is in hand onward.

And I think it adds 10 pages if Boston wins.

I also say ifnLA takes a commanding lead the thread adds 3 pages. And 7 for Boston.

already wrong. 30+ pages after this post alone.

If LA wins, two pages.

If Boston win, no less than ten.

co-signing wrong.

25 posts by cranrab if Boston wins.

4 max if la wins, all made no less than 2 days later.

wrong.

 

[TJervey]

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.

This looks like two tired Mutherfuckers to me, PLUS, Doc Rivers himself said that Sheed and KG were 'Dying out there!?!?!?'. If you read my post you never run a player an ENTIRE game, especially one of this magnitude. There were times in the game they were up big that if he managed the clock, TV timeouts, etc. he could have gotten them 5-10 mins rest and only have them out 4-5 possessions which would have helped them later when the shit got real in the fourth quarter!!!

Celtics NBA Finals Thread********

Magic says kendrick perkins being hurt is a blessing, because rasheed scores more. I disagree with magic, If the celts had big perk, they may be up by 15 because of perkins defense and rebounding ability.

he was close to the truth, he just can't articulate his points well.

it was a mixed blessing. kendrick perkins absence negatively impacted the celtics rebounding, but it also allowed the celtics O a better chance to execute.

as stated before, IMO kendrick perkins is 1 of the worst passing Cs in the game right now.

Sub KG for Big Baby!!!!!!

BIG BABY...

worst mistake of G7.

glen davis robbed the celtics of all their confidence.

a pure shooter who cant shoot

wow!

ray allen missed good looks, and rushed a few others. he was too anxious to get his shot off and was out of rhythm.

Thank u coach jackson for taking kobe out of the game!

fakers were instantly productive as soon as tobe left.

Gasol is the key to this game...not Kobe.

as always.

The Refs need to call the game more evenly. Thy are making sure that LA gets back in the game

when los angeles continued to struggle from the field, the officials made sure to put boston in the penalty so there would be a Q4 parade to the stripe.

With all this arm chair acknowledgement, and you multi-quote like it is gospel and shit.... THE LAKERS ARE STILL 2010 CHAMPS AND KOBE IS STILL THE FINALS MVP!!!!!!! Crybaby assed Niggas!!!!

Damn Fish, that jay was wet!

right on time.

funny how scapegoaters had been all over derek fisher this season too. on ron artest this whole post season, but look who showed up when it counted?

Rondo and that fucking runner

play Nate

eewwll kept asking why was ray allen in the game. but when your O is giving you FGAs like those, your best bet is to keep feeding ray allen and hope he gives you something.

The second LA takes the lead, this game's over.

you could sense it at the game, even before the lead change.

glen davis nutted up and the fakers confidence swelled.

The refs needto swallow that whistle for the last 5 mins & let them play

& see who wants it more

wishful thinking. if only they had let the game play out that way.

when your pure shooter cant shoot

you cant win

Rondo cant shoot
Paul is on lock

QFT.

paul pierce looked like 2007 paul pierce with the FGATOs. he was stuck on stupid and forcing the action. credit ron artest with the on-ball pressure.

Doc rivers made that whole statement. I bolded it because that was the most important part. Everyone can be involved but if they aren't producing it means nothing so when they contributed in the plus side then that was the game breaker

I'd give it to the refs. I would give it to their free throw shooting coach but they're not even making them.

yo, why are all these Lakers points coming from Free Throws?

the difference between halves in officiating were polar opposites. and the calls that put boston in the penalty early were suspect.

it's like an NFL game where they say offensive holding could be called every play, but the flag isn't thrown. a violation occurs on almost every play in the NBA too, but they don't all need to be called.

Series MVP, not game.

but the series turned into a single game.

and who were the best performers in the fakers 4 wins?

WHERE THE FUCK IS CRANRAB AT!!!!!

based on the time you posted, i was still at staples.

trying to leave staples center was like trying to fly to israel with a full beard and a last name of salaam.

What the Kobe haters have to say now?

wouldn't they be saying "watch G7" again?

I just think he gets too much credit considering he plays on such a talented team.

The Lakers won as a team tonight despite Kobe's bad play

QFT

OPn some real shit i'm tired of seeing his wife and kids all the damn time. The hell? You don't see anyone else kids up there front row. Hell Pau Gasol himself is in the back. Why the hell Kobe wife and kids up there?.

conditions, requirements, and agreed terms.

The Lakers won despite Kobe playing like complete shit in game 7

ron artest that was beasting all night.

ron artest is the only faker who played consistently on both sides of the ball for all 48 in G7

N!gga, it's the FINALS MVP, not game 7 MVP.

so which player played the best in all 4 fakers wins?

Celtics lost this series when they didn't get homecourt advantage.

but more than half of BGOL basketball fans claim that regular season doesn't mean shit.

Ummmm, who took it to the basket more, and who shot jumpers

that's horse shit.

how many FTAs were from loose ball fouls, swing through bullshit, etc?

 

[cranrab]

From Nobody:

Here's a stat.

What NBA player won a finals MVP and shot 5-19 in the closeout game?

funny, because i thought the person you quoted also said that it wasn't the measure of a single game, but rather the series as a whole.

inconsistent thinking?

 

[cranrab]

Celtics NBA Finals Thread********

And it's not really his shot, it's his lack of confidence in his shot.

it's more than shot mechanics with rajon rondo.

it's more about maturity and growth as a player.

for example, coach rivers tells rajon rondo "be agressive".

young players take that to mean "attack 24/7". but young players lack the understanding to know that it doesn't mean you have to shoot every time (floaters, runners) you penetrate. it means to "probe the D 24/7" for all kinds of weaknesses, not just transition and half-court penetration.

 

[cranrab]

Celtics NBA Finals Thread********

Pau was the most consistent player out there and he was robbed of the MVP

in your opinion, of his 3 NBA finals performances, which year was his best?

 

[ccunny]

Lebron has some growing to do and this is from someone who has always given him props.... even if you give him a pass on the losing thing... i think Beeii has him in his sig dancing and this is on the sideline DURING THE GAME.... i know dude is still young and this is a different generation.... but I couldnt imagine ANY of the all-time greats on my top 10 list clowning like that during the game....those mofos are in kill-mode all the time..

I appreciate the skills of Kobe and Lebron. However it will be a cold day in hell before I put them anywhere near the likes of MJordan and Magic Johnson. One key reason for this is because Jordan, Magic and many other greats went to college. In doing so, they not only got an education and refined their game, they also had a chance to mature before entering the pros. The idea that from High School you can play with the best of them is a complicated case. Yet I still look at the class of Magic and MJ (while they were playing) and the immature behavior of Lebron and the like. Yes, those guys (Lebron etc. ) truly have a lot of growing up to do; problem is they are doing the growing up at the right time in the wrong place!!!!

Re: Celtics NBA Finals Thread********

Kobe didn't play like complete shit. He shot like complete shit through three quarters.

He defended well, rebounded excellently, and hit key shots and free throws when it mattered most.

Kobe took some dumb ass shots, and some were due to the Celtic defense. For his poor offense ray Allen played great defense last night. But you guys won't notice that because y'all only care about one side of the game.

I think he rebounded very well...but overall, he played poorly and had LA lost, he would have gotten killed by the media. He shoot horribly and had very costly turnovers... luckily basketball is a team sport and the team showed up.
