THANKS!!! Awful nice of you to stop by and say so, and we'll appreciate your continuing support. Have a wonderful day and I think I can speak for everyone here when I say stop by anytime, and have a big cup of stfu.

Posey and Pierce is a pretty darn good combo to throw at him. Check out Pierce's work on LeBron and Prince the last two series', he's really developed into an great defender this year.

I think the question that the Lakers should be asking, is there anyone who can stop Pierce?

I actually don't hate anyone on the Lakers like I hate Rip and LeBron. Maybe Lamar Odom with his dropkicks, but no one on the team has a really annoying game. Derek Fishers shot is annoying, but that's it.

But yeah, crush them.

LOL The biggest concern is how to stop Kobe, Kobe would be guarding Pierce during strecthes, during that time I expect Pierce to struggle.
With the best scorer in the NBA by our side, anything can happen.

hey bruce bowen cant and didnt stop bryant. and he's the best def perimeter player out there. the point and objective is not to stop bryant individually. fortunately it's still a team game last i checked. our perimeter players will just have to try to contain him and i dont want him fouled. play as much like the spurs as possible. give him < 10 FTAs the whole series, make him earn his paycheck on the perimeter. let the other guys beat us (if they can). compete hard, have fun and just execute down the stretch. that is all.

Bruce bowen is overrated. He's too old and slow to actually keep up anymore. He just relies on "veteran tricks" to play D,

This is what we played for all season to get to this point, but not just get here, to finish the job. The look on KG's face after last nights game showed me he isn't satisfied with just being to his first NBA Finals, he is coming to win it. The rest of the team will follow suit and be ready to go.

Man I can't wait for this to begin.

I'm going to games 1, 2, 6(if neccesary), and 7 (if necessary)
I was thinking about selling one of the games either 2 or 6 to get big bucks...
but Its just been way to longer since the last championship,

I want to be a part of the history :lol:

We did a good job on carmelo anthony already in this postseason, who by the way is a better player than pierce, we survived the 2nd or 3rd best pg of the league in deron williams and we took care of the 3 time nba finals mvp (tim duncan) in 5 games...paul pierce is NOT gonna stop us, it should be pretty simple to understand.
