Face facts?

Heres a fact for you... The Celtics shot 28 more free throws and won by just 6.

Hows that for a fact?

A win is a win. go look at the Utah series when you guys got all the calls. Thats a fact. Go look at the Brent I was beaten half to death Barry fouls-which the league admitted was a foul. Your team has had more benefit of the doubt calls than anyone in this post season. Your guys are perimeter oriented and shoot jumpers. This is the NBA finals weak crap doesn't get called. be a man and take it into the paint. you can make all the excuses you want but in the end you got outplayed showed your inexperience, showed you are a soft team and let some bad call effect your performance. So to sum it up.

you are mentally weak, physically weak, down two and the vultures are circling and your grave is being dug.[/u]

We need to jump out on them early, like the first quarter, when half the crowd isn't there yet.

be a man and take it into the paint.

The Lakers attempted 16 more fg's in the paint than the Celtics did.

Be a man... Do some research before you post that trash.


Alright, I have had enough of you. This is a warning for trolling and baiting.

So I put out a paragraph and you single out one sentence....thats your reply.

What about the barry phantom foul. What about the descrepency in free throws from Utah. is it only OK when the refs kiss your teams butt?? Even in the paint you drift away from contact from Kobe to the four marshmellow men around him.
soft is a word your team needs to get used to. as well as composure.

NBA--stands for no boys allowed. i.e. it is a mans league and their aren't any on your team.

Celtics 2
LA 0

[leper-con]

Keys to game three.

KG needs to establish himself in the low post.
We need to pound the glass.
Our D needs to make a 48 minute appearance not just 20-30 minutes.
Pierce will be huge in LA.
Allen loves to play in LA.
Powe is from Cali.

Go C's go.

I can't believe how many LA fans I've seen in the past 48 hours who don't understand that. And this is the guy saying "do some research?"

[IEcelticfan]

excerpts on wojnarowki's piece:

These NBA Finals had been framed as a coronation for Kobe Bryant, his time to climb onto a basketball Rushmore with Michael Jordan. This has been his MVP season, his chance to make his parting with Shaq, Eagle, Colo., and his summer temper tantrum fade out of focus. These Celtics were discussed as merely props as Bryant starred in his June mini-series: The Story of Me.

On the way to Phil Jackson passing Red Auerbach, on the way to Bryant

BEAT LA

im sry but i want the series to go to 6 games for two reasons.

so they can win it at the garden and so i can go to the parade ( my finals will finish by then)

no i want us to close it out in la YES on THEIR home court b/c i wanna see the faces on these faker fans and nothing beats winning on your opponent's homecourt. and to prove that we dont need hca to close it out.

First off- no more caps lock. If you don't know you are yelling- you are. If you do know- Knock it off.

Do some work on the laker board before you decide to get involved with other people's boards.

[BillessuR6]

We need to come out with intensity and focus! KG needs to step up!!!

Win game 3!


BEAT LA!!!

[Taget]

Can't say I feel good about Game 3. We've seen first hand how huge home court advantage is in the playoffs. That said we only need one out of the next three and we'll be in a great position to the win the championship. Two more games and we've reached the promise land.

Although I know players have to say what they say because they are still competing, but I find it hilarious that anyone in their right mind think that the Lakers comeback was because of adjustments they made and how things were different. The Cs were up 24 and relaxed. That was it. Players talking about how they helped each other on defense and such is just stupid. They know it. We know it. Now, I expect the Lakers to probably win tonight, and then, all the Laker ball washers will be saying, "it all started during the 4th quarter of Sunday's game." I just hope the Cs come out and just squeeze the life out of the Laker and the entire Laker fanbase, and that includes everyone at ESPN.

Kinda OT, but I read an interesting article just now, and the part about Kobe surprised me, especially now that he's seemingly "changed" and learned to "trust" his teammates:

5) Kobe. This one stunned me a little bit. Who doesn
