Yeah, definitely rigged...


They basically had to call it since it was the 3rd or 4th illegal screen on that possession.

Leon Powe should play over Brown. Doc Rivers is so quick to bury people on the bench.

The only problem I have with this game is that we let up on D near the end. Other than that I can't complain about much. No one other than Ray on the Celtics really produced much. Lakers came out and did what they had to. I fully expect a Lakers win today. I'm not upset. I will be if C's can't win game 4 or 5.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

Phil Jackson with a huge adjustment, Doc doesn't know how to answer; play Rondo, and have no offense, or sacrifice defense and play House.

all of what? it was basically kobe and sasha... i'm amazed they won
Sasha Vujacic = The Phail Machine = The Ring Blocker

Trade Sasha before he ruins the Lakers next season.

I agree with you that Lakers haven't looked like Champions as of late. But so has Boston. They took so many games to get to the Finals, 20 games just to get to the Finals.

They also had the refs give them the previous game.

Both Lakers and Celts haven't looked like Championship material at times.

After watching three games, all I can say is: these are the best 2 teams in the NBA?

He should never have put Rondo back in after the injury. House changes the way LA plays D. Lamar Odom and Gasol are officially nothing. If the Celts play halfway decent they should win the next two games.

The officiating was worse this game, they're really trying to hand the series to Boston. KG was literally holding players on possessions.

No crap. The Lakers look like a team that has never even attempted situational defense.

Or else that is when Gasol/Odom go and get their knees iced...

Do you purpose not playing Rondo very many minutes in game 4?

that had nothing to do with Garnett's shot selection, Pierce's shot selection, Cassell's shot selection..giving it to other players in bad situations(like PJ)..Kobe's double teams affected it a few times, but all of the guys I just mentioned had iso's and didn't take advantage of them, instead settling..


It didn't cause Cassell's shot selection. He's just been chucking all series.

Garnett and Pierce were definitely affected by it though. Sometimes it was on the double after they received the ball and other times it due to the inability to get them the ball (in optimal position) because of Kobe playing the passing lanes so much. The Rondo/Kobe matchup won this game, period.

Not sure what took Phil so long. It's the same thing they had to do in 2002 and 2003 against Bibby and Parker.
"I'm sure they'll jump off the bandwagon. Then when we do get back on top, they're going to want to jump back on, and we're going to tell them there's no more room." - Kobe in March of 2005

Both of those players were similarly equipped to play in the post.

Both of those players played in the post.

Both of those players had 10x the success Garnett ever had or ever will have in leading a team...

KG couldn't score but he ain't no little Biatch like Gasol. KG crunched the board and dont go up like a pussy for the dunk.

You are really overrating that change just because the game had a positive result for LA.
