[Guest watcher]

I wouldn't get so carried away.

1. Lakers had a week off; Spurs slept on a plane after game 7 and had a day and a half to get ready for game 1

2. Lakers were at home

3. Because of the short layoff, Spurs were constantly rotating players

4. Many had How many points? How long is that gonna happen

5. Despite 1 2 3+4, the lakers STILL almost got run out of their own building.

hopefully 3 more games

[Guest GO!zilla]

he's always had bad games against lakers.

and how many games will tim duncan have 30 points 15+ boards. yea okay.

how many games will parker not be a factor.

how many games will kobe only score 2 points by half time. yea okay.

how many games will lamar get under a double double. yea okay.

how many shots of fishers will rim out? okay.

theres counter arguments to yours.

lakers were lucky to play against utah before the spurs.

the style of utah resembles more of spurs than NO.

i expect a good series. i just think lakers have what it takes to reach the finals though.

So long as ronnie's guarding TD, i expect a few 20+ 15+ games

Tony's averaged over 20+ points against LA

Manu, though his numbers against LA aren't that great, Are much better than last night's game. (14-5-4)

TD's been guarded by bynum the first two games of the season series. Gasol and Turiaf are not NEARLY as good as Byumn defending the post.

As the Spurs have demonstrated against the Lakers before, Duncan can shoot 2-13 and they can still win.

This series is gonna come down to overall team performances, not individual. Anyything can happen.

[Guest mojomunkeez]

Kobe was merely toying with the Spurs. And Manu's body is breaking down. He doesn't even have fingernails anymore.

[xkrndreamer]

like i said, lakers are the most exciting team to watch right now

love it

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

too busy flopping that's why

[Guest GO!zilla]

uh oh... Celtics lost at home...

WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN? WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN???

ahhh the suspense of the playoffs

I hate sounding like Bill Walton ... *inserts witty line here*

keke.

btw... no sportsmanship on the celtics part except for Kevin Garnett.

[Guest xsilentangel]

Is that all you point out?

That bad thigns about the Celtics?

Sheesh, some respect you're showing.

Anyways, I had a feeling we would lose.

I hope we make good out of it! Better up those games on the road!

Hopefully we won't make some dumb*%@# fouls.

And Doc really can't coach ... why'd he put TONY ALLEN in?!

AND MAY I ANNOUNCE:

RAY ALLEN IS BACK!

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

And funny enough, Allen had a terrific night scoring even in foul trouble. Wouldn't go gaga over one night though.

Celtics bench did jack.

Still eager on Carmelo&Camby trade rumors.

[Guest GO!zilla]

Respect? respect towards what.

Do I have to point out other things about the game?

Do I look like i work for ESPN?

Dont get offended because I said your beloved Celts have no sportsmanship by the way they left the floor after the game.

[Guest xsilentangel]

Well what do you expect them to do? Go and hug them and say "Good job you won!"

They showed respect in the begining already.

Hell yeah

Wtf.. TONY ALLEN?

All he did was contribute free throws to DETROIT.

PJ Brown made some nice shots though.

Atleast this makes us more competitive on the road games

[Guest GO!zilla]

nah, all you gotta do is say GG.

even the worst sportsmanship of ONLINE GAME players do it.

it's like an unwritten rule.

poor sport.

[Guest GO!zilla]

yea i see a lot of players do it but usually at least the players on the floor say something.

idunno what you are watching because they did leave like poor losers.

[Guest GO!zilla]

maybe have some pride and keep your head up.

they look like dead cats after the game. maybe its cuz they know they cant win on the road.

[Guest mojomunkeez]

Boston will not amount to much playing .500 basketball, they'll need to find a way to win at Detroit, or else it's curtains for them.

[Guest GO!zilla]

^yup i agree. they are poor sports.

Shaq, Big Shot Rob, Foxx, and Kobe are known to be.

and Doc did point over to the other coach which is Kudos to him.

Doc Rivers had to do something. He obviously doesn't know how to coach. Might as well be a good sport.

[Guest res0nate]

Reading the thread is goddamn painful.

[xkrndreamer]

ahh the good old nba on nbc days
