no need to blame the refs for the ft difference. the lakers have bigs that actually play in the paint almost the entire time and constantly go to the rim. we don't. plain and simple.

Exactly. We lost because we are very short and the Lakers are a very tall basketball team. I thought we would get raped today..but we played great for the last 3 quarters of this game. The first quarter is where we lost it. And I honestly think we lose again tomorrow since the Clippers also have bigger guys than us..Danny NEEDS to do something about this, but he won't because he doesn't really care about what happens this year. And he's right..

Yup, not a surprise that we got out-rebounded as well. Pretty much agree with what you said.

Why is everyone getting worked up about this camp. Boston can't rebound buffet can't create their own offense and they turn the ball over a lot. LA sucks to neither team is winning the title but we know Boston's weaknesses and they're not conducive to beating the Lakers

danny could surprise us all and pull a rabbit out of a hat but I think it's more likely he rides this team to the end. I hate to say this since I'll be called a pessimist, not a true fan etc. but every game we lose is one game closer to getting into the lottery and getting a better pick in the draft and improving this team's chances for the future. we are going nowhere this year. we're not athletic enough ( see Sixers), we're not big enough ( see Lakers) and we're not young enough ( see every other team in the league). we played well today but doc ran his guys into the ground again. dooling is ofer march so why is he playing over Moore. we have no size but JJJ can't get on the floor?? what gives? once again doc is burying guys that could help us. JO is done for the year and wilcox isn't far behind. pietrus is playing on a bum knee as is bass and doc keeps playing his guys big minutes. it would take a miracle for us to win a round in the playoffs. we can barely beat teams that other teams handle easily. the magic is gone folks

Rondo was totally excellent.

KG, Ray & Bass hit clutch shots.

That is absolute complete BULL **** about not needing Paul ISOs & aggressiveness in Q4. During the last 2 weeks, he has had 2 30+ games & 2-3 20+ games - & literally willed us to several wins. He simply passed off & did not bring it in the fourth like he has 1000 times. Like Dreamer posted, he was not right mentally today. Artest also fouled the **** out of him earlier in the game, & he had no rhythm.

On D, Artest hit 2 lucky 3s. PERIOD.
His D on Kobe down the stretch was actually good. Kobe was just better.

14 points & 9 assists & ZERO rebounds = UN Truth.

He certainly deserves criticism, but he does NOT deserve the bull **** bashing that he got from some. He has been too outstanding for too long (including recently) to be absolutely crucified when he does not play like we expect him to play & he usually plays.
