That's only one Laker fan though I expected more drama than I'm seeing, which kind of surprises me. It's a good thing Mamba was drinking some beer, or else things probably wouldn't be pretty. lol

Fine, keep attacking guys. I'm done posting in this laker forum until the series is over. Peace and good luck in game 3.
There is no way Nugs/Utah/SA is an easier road to the finals than Hawks/Cavs/Pistons, but Celtics had more of a "road" to the finals. They faced many more challenges and really had a chance to come together. I didn't really see LA grow that much throughout the postseason. Odom had disappearing acts throughout the playoffs, Pau still goes through phases where he played aggressive , Luke Walton sucked throughout, and LA's bench still doesn't provide a relatively consistent output.

I don't really mind you at all, but probably waiting a couple of hours before coming into enemy territory would have been a better decision. Just let people calm down first...

To whoever thinks the Lakers had an easier road to the Finals, lay off the drugs. I'd much rather face the Hawks/Cavs/Pistons than the Nuggets/Jazz/Spurs. There's a huge difference between the route being easier and making it look easier. The Lakers had a much tougher route to the Finals, but they just played out of their mind during the first three rounds and made it look easy. The Celtics, on the other hand, forgot how to win on the road and let far inferior teams win games. And that's why I still the Lakers can win this series. We seem to forget that just over a month ago the Celtics were in the process of playing the Hawks, let me repeat that, the Hawks, in a game 7. The Hawks, who had 29 less wins than the Celtics, the same Hawks whom everyone predicted would be swept. They came back after being down 2-0 and sent it to a game seven. The Cavs were in the same situation. A highly inferior team that went down 2-0 and managed to make it to game 7, despite the fact that LeBron played like garbage. This is why I'm not worried right now. The Celtics, all postseason, have been letting teams back into series. And not just teams, but bad teams. The Hawks were not a good team and didn't even belong in the playoffs with their whopping 37 wins and the Cavs were basically a one man show all season. Based on the current body of work, I see no reason why the Lakers can't get back in to this series. They just have to win it, something the other teams haven't done. Thankfully, the Lakers are much better than the Hawks and Cavs.

Also, Moo, the Celtics really clamped down on the Pistons though. They've grown steadily after each series. But anyways, none of this matters. At the end of the day, all that matters is who's hoisting the trophy. Nobody cares about the "road" to the Finals, none of that. All that matters is the trophy, and right now, we're down 0-2. It's time to step up

A lot of pats on the backs and congratulating the Celtics on pounding us for 3 and a half quarters? Doubtful. We're a frustrated bunch, and I'd think it should be expected. I personally apologize if you feel like I've personally attacked anyways, I'm just here venting at the moment, again, something that should be expected.
