yea, it was a pretty questionable call, even got replayed n it was still questionable, not sayin it couldnt have maybe skimmed the rim but it was hard to see if it did, I'd say it didnt personally, but bad calls are part of the game,

and

*sneezes*
:)(fuck the Lakers);)
 
Questionable sure but, it was reviewed and called back. No more questionable than Ray "fouling" Kobe for 3 free throws but, its all part of the game. In this series there have been a shit ton of questionable or just plain bad calls on both sides of the ball. At the least this one definitely wasn't an air ball as it bounced off of something and to me it looked like it hit the rim before the backboard but, whatever we could argue this for days.

Back to LA gentlemen 3-2

just for the record it wasnt reviewed because that type of call isnt reviewable by video, the refs just talked for a few moments and made the call. second your right it is part of the game. as I said in my first post on this the celtics just played better, no other lakers would step up other than kobe.

I see game 6 going to the lakers, just because its a must win for them and a lot of other players will feel more comfertable stepping up due to being at home also it just seems written in the stars that this would be a 7 gamer. either way im disappoint in the laker supporting cast.

c'mon lakeshow, shape up!!!
 
What a stupid rule. They can replay whether or not the player released the ball on time but, not whether or not the ball hit the rim. That's one half without the other.

Anyways bynum is fucked up and you need him more than I originally thought because Odom is useless. I hope that kid stays healthy because he's only 22 and he could be doing some serious damage to himself. If he plays limited minutes again and everything is so open underneath I think its over for you guys.

Can't say I can really count on kg yet but, I guess we have to. The Cs just have too many people that can step up when someone else is having a bad game. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Ray Allen break out of this slump and start shooting again too.

I'd take the Celtics bench over the Lakers any day too. Even though farmar stepped up his D Robinson, Wallace and Davis (sometimes) bring a comfortable rest to the starters. Tony Allen is great on D, if only he wouldn't do so much stupid shit he'd be better.

Overall I'd say the Celtics have the better, deeper team. The Lakers have Bryant and Gasol which are better individually that any one Celtic. Thing is as Kobe proved last night that doesn't mean shit when you're the only one doing anything (not just scoring). Artest sucks with the ball and apparently his D isn't as good as it looked either. Kobe can't cover everyone and with bynum in and out gasol can't either.
 
About Bynum.

Laker fan will say:

"We won even with a banged up Bynum!"

or...

"We lost because Bynum wasnt healthy!"
 
Bynum is way overrated.

I hate to admit it but it looks like LA is going to take this down. Big momentum shift with tonights game.
 
fuck onehd. this is the shittest nba finals coverage ever. not only are we well over a day behind, but they only play matches during the middle of the day or very late at night. any working person just can't watch them.
 
got to give the advantage to the lakers now. they have the momentum, they have home court, and if perkins really doesnt play, the lakers are more confertable playing without their starting center.

then again they always say its easier for the team that lost to identify the adjustments that need to be made.
I still think its going to be lakers in 7 but not by the amazing 22 point victory like tonight, more of a down to the last second, every posession matters, type of victory. 4 seasoned vets arnt just gunna let what happened in game 6 happen again so smoothly.

this has been one hell of a series

oh yeah and I was at game 6 last night. staples and all of los angelas was going BEZERK. definetily a game ill never forget
 
So according to Hollinger, Perkins is completely worthless and the C's would be better off without him. Hahahah what a moron.

I hope LA takes full advantage of the Perkins-less Celtics. I hope Bynum shows up and does his thing. Lakers need to force KG and Sheed to take jump shots.

If I were Doc, I would definitely start Sheed over Davis, he is a completely different player when he starts and he is known to show up in huge games. I don't think he can play for more than 30 minutes though, with his back issues.
About Bynum.

Can't wait for Bawwwston fans to start making their excuses to why they lost. I'm sure Perkins will be the #1 reason lol. Now they know how we felt in '08 without Bynum.

Bynum is way overrated.
How the fuck is Bynum overrated? 8)

I hate it when people don't appreciate his work ethic. He has completely changed his physique, look at pictures of his rookie year to now. He has come back from two major knee surgeries. That requires a lot of rehab/building up strength. And unlike some Centers, he actually has post moves.
 
I think this game 7 is going to come down to too factors in the end:

1. obviously rebounding has been huge in this series don't really need to talk about that.

2. bench play. both teams pretty much dont have their starting centers. the celtics are going to be running new linups especially when its time for their second unit. so that will be huge for them. what the lakers need to realize is that the celtics still have KG, pierce, allen, and Rondo which is damn good. they will get done what needs to be done just as the laker starters will. so the benches really need to step up for both teams tonight

other big factors will be. artests D on pierce, and stoping rondo.

watch for those

GO LAKERRRSSS!
 
Oh man. Can't say I have a warm fuzzy feeling about this. Rasheed is really gonna havta step up. He can do it but, he's just as likely to be a dumbass and foul out. Either way I'm not expecting the Cs to get blown out again. I expect some good ball from both teams and can say that whoever wins will absolutely deserve it. Good luck boys

GO Cs BEAT LA BEAT LA!!
 
i'd prefer the celtics, but im betting on the lakers

got a bet going with my friend right now, ten point spread to the lakers, im taking the under side....hopefully i come out $5 richer
