i think the celtics have shown enough to be considered the better team.

but i want the lakers to win

Man none of my posts are making it through. Did this one?

rondo should not be starting, especially when his presence on the court helps the defensive scheme of the lakers.

I just want to know one thing, what was up with Chris Mihm playing tonight? Where did that come from? All he did was foul and turn it over. The guy hasn't played in months.

what is the ray allen personal issue he's dealing with that doc just referenced??

Boston better finish this on Tuesday or else it gets scary.

I was so confused when Phil put Mihm in; I thought it was some kind of joke. And, I really can't stand Luke playing, at all.

Lakers win on Tuesday and swing the pressure back onto Boston.

Phil went with a lot of weird stuff in this one. Since when do Fish and Farmar play at the same time at the end of games? What happened to Sasha?

Boston fans bitching about the officiating are on crack. Read the rule book. Kobe didn't foul Pierce. A reach is only called when the the defender makes enough contact with the ballhandler to gain an advantage. Pierce didn't even know he lost the ball because he didn't feel Kobe hit him nor the ball. Therefore it's not a foul.

uhhhh ohhhh, it's Bgil..how did I know he would spin the foul?..I guess it doesn't affect the ball handler when the **** defender swings at his body..Kobe could admit to murdering somebody, and Bgil would find a way to spin it..ridiculous..

Well, I predicted Boston in 6 anyway. I didn't want to be right, but I guess that is fine and celebrating in Boston would be more fun anyway.

I'm fine with this. When Boston wins officials had nothing to do with the series.

Although it was weird, I actually kind of liked that Fisher/Farmar duo with Kobe at the 3. Obviously it wouldn't work as a starting lineup or for an entire game or anything, but it was kinda nice. It was especially nice because Sasha was jacking up shots like a maniac. I can probably count on one hand how many times he passed the ball. He's just been off the last 2 games, problem is, he doesn't seem to know it and resorts to throwing the ball at the rim whenever he touches it.

Chris Mihm I can't explain. That was just bone headed.

And btw, that clearly wasn't a foul. He didn't touch Peirce or affect his dribble. It was a pretty clean steal.

I didnt think it was a foul on Kobe to be honest, but it was still a poorly officiated quarter.

This new message board is annoying now..i cant submit anything without pressing reply 20 times

Pierce lost the ball when Kobe smacked his body. If it wasn't a foul it definitely wasn't a steal. He didn't touch the ball.

anyone know what's up with ray, doc said he has a personal family issue and he wanted to leave it at that?

if you're gonna call Pierce and KG for touch fouls to get LA in the penalty, how do you not call a **** reach in that didn't touch the ball, when Pierce is trying to tie the **** game..that's **** up..

i think i remember them saying allen's daughter was diagnosed with diabetes.
