Key Elements

Image VS Image

Pau has something to prove. He certainly came out rough and tough in the Olympics and we'll need him to absorb the hard fouls and keep producing

Image VS Image

Losing Jordan was big for us, but no excuses here. Ariza and LO must have their shots working. Vlad needs to stay focused on D and keep up the Sniper accuracy

Image VS Image

Rondo is not the same player we saw in the finals. His playmaking and creativity have improved and he's doing a bit of everything to help his team. Fish has been playing big minutes lately and our PG defense this year has been a weak spot. I look for Sasha to see good minutes to matchup with Rondo and for Derek to give a veteran's performance

Go Lakers!! Make us proud and put some fear in them for the finals

What a crappy game thread for sure we will lose now

lol j/k. For real it is pretty nice and I love that idiotic pic of KG looking like a moron. The bench pic was creative too.

BUT I was really hoping the GT creator would put some lame pics of that injury faker Paul Pierce. Listen to the genius explaining himself again.

http://lakers.freedomblogging.com/2008/ ... plot/7322/

“No, not really,” Pierce said of accusations that he was acting a bit. “Not something I planned. I’d never want to leave my teammates. I’ve never been a player who faked an injury. Why would I want to come off the court during the NBA Finals game?

Only people in LA would think that was something I planned. That is Hollywood!”



Image

In case you guys didn't know, Pierce faked another knee injury last week prior to the game in Atlanta. Yet he played in the game showing no effect, before the game he said the knee really hurt.

http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball ... ff_injury/

Image

Oh here is more from Pierce. As a reminder here is what he said during the summer

http://thelakersnation.com/blog/2008/07 ... st-player/

I don’t think Kobe is the best player. I’m the best player. There’s a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don’t cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself.


Image

Image

With that said Boston comes rolling into town

Final Score

Celtics - 148
Lakers - 78

Pierce - 82 pts
Kobe - 7 pts as Pierce holds him to 3 for 40 shooting

After the game here is Ray Allen: "Another win in LA, this is getting too easy."

Image

KG - "Anything is possible, there is nothing else to say man."

Image

Paul Pierce - "HAHAHAHA I told Ya'll I TOLD Y'ALL! I AM THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA. All you need to know, I'm Better Than Kobe."

Image

If that doesn't motivate LA I don't know what will.

Put all you know aside from the Celtics and the Lakers, forget the championship ring, forget the starting records, forget Kobe's MVP, forget it all. None of it matters tomorrow, both teams will come to battle and the best team will come out on top. No excuses either way!

BTW: Great Game Thread!

Hahah nice bulletin board material Minhee.

You know there's another possibility. Maybe Paul did tweak his knee and was crying real tears because he's a real honest-to-god puss.

just for you:

nice game thread. here's to a great game win or lose. i just want to see if we can hang with them. i know we need to improve,but to stay with them,will give our guys some confidence imo.
Only on realgm is 27,000 points, 5 rings, 1 rs mvp and 2 finals mvp considered overrated!

Guys, don't be surprised if Paul pulls the wheelchair stunt again, he's gotta make the Christmas party so he can party with his lady!!!!

Image


Also, I hope Drew and Pau are ready for Scalabrine, he's put on a bit more size since the last time we saw him.
