Ray Allen is the truth, **** Paul Pierce. San Antonio, Detroit > Boston. But damn, they're good. Lakers are pathetic tonight. They came out with absolutely no fire, extremely flat tonight.

Because the #1 defense in the league gave the Lakers 45 wide open shots and layups.

Kobe 5-22, WTF is that. He is forcing way too many horrible shots. We had our chances, both Allens got in to foul trouble early in the game. That was our chance to capitalize and we end up missing lay up and wide open shots. Horrible game for the Lakers today. Nothing went their way. It's time to focus on their next 3 games which are very winnable.

Lol Laker fans act like they've never seen a bad night from Kobe before. It happens, especially when you're a scorer. Lamar had an equally bad game, Bynum was shit, Phil Jackson (hate blaming him) didn't coach for shit. The team came in with the mentality that they were going to get ass raped, and they did.

Bow down to you and drool over your team? Why don't you go over to the Celtics gamethread then

I think Odom heard the Patriots were holding open try-outs, he was auditioning. That was a pretty nice tackle.

LOL this shit is ****ing amazing, the refs decide to call all the fouls in the world in the final 30 seconds. Suck my nuts, they were ****ing terrible tonight, but so were the Lakers. How good will Boston be when Pierce and Allen get bit with their yearly injury bug? Can we cut Luke Walton?
I didn't see the hit (I've turned off my TV), but I don't wish injury on anyone. I've never had a problem with Ray Allen before either, except that little spat he had with Kobe, but that's history. Ray Allen has always been a stand up guy, so I would never wish any harm on him. I wouldn't worry about Lamar, he's a classless punk, career under acheiver. He'll get what he deserves
