Bynum is getting meaner and meaner. Odom is in elite mode. Pau is still in pussy mode. Man, you guys ever watch his replays? He makes the weirdest fucking faces. Like he's scared to death or something. My cousin and I always enjoy a great laugh watching him. Godfuckingdamnit. His arms are so floppy.
It was one game without Kobe. Just calm down :] Gasol was pretty damn good all night until crunch time set in. Bynum started out hot, but cooled off considerably for a while. I think Phil pulled him way too early in the game.
I don't know who's more of a dumbass...the thread creator that can't spell the man's name he's insulting correctly, or Fisher. Anyways, Fisher played lousy tonight. Every time he goes to the hole, I cringe, and it was no different tonight. But hey, we had no Kobe and still pushed a good Celtics team to the brink and had a chance to win in the end, so not too bad.
Stupid time-out by Phil. He should have called it a lot earlier if at all. Lamar was in a decent situation with the ball
Fisher was fouled on the layup he missed. On the final shot that was not Fishers fault. With 2 seconds left you cant pass so the inbounder decides who is getting the shot. Artest chose Fisher to take the shot instead of Odom who was right around there too. It was a very difficult situation Fisher was in.
Did you see how difficult shot it was he had to take? It was Pau with his stupid "pass" to Shannon, why the hell did he do that? He could've created a shot for himself or something. Shannon kinda bricked at the end also, but I don't blame him because he's not a shooter and he's young.
You misunderstood me, I said it to the thread creator, for saying that Fisher is a dumbass because of that airball. The defense prevented Fish to get a good shot and of course he had to try instead of doing nothing (no brainer).
Relax people. Our goal is to win the championship. Focus on that and all this regular season games will look just like the should.
Pau called time-out when there was 5 seconds to play, but they noticed it at 2.2 . Some dumb plays by Shannon and Pau in the end. I wish we had that 5 seconds too, but well.. Odom is the shit right now, I love him and Artest in our team. I like how Odom taunts Garnett and gets in his face quite often.
Last night was great basketball despite a tough loss. What's encouraging is the dominance our front line is having against Boston in both games this year. Ray Allen's hot shooting killed us last night and the Lakers backcourt was horrific. Shannon Brown 2-9 Derek Fisher 1-9 Jordan Farmar 2-7 Not to mention the 9 missed free throws including the Technical Brown bricked. Boston was smart in the way they attacked Fisher all night long. They ran Allen off screens and Fisher didn't have the foot speed or height to close out on Allen. When Fisher switched to Rondo, the Celtics ran high pick and roll with Rondo blowing right by him or feeding into the post with Fisher defending KG or Pierce. Last night was an example of how we miss Kobe. Lakers went scoreless for 4 minutes down the stretch and no one was able to create offense or make bailout shots, not to mention the positive impact Kobe has on the defensive end. I really hope these two face each other in the Finals. I love the match ups and the rivalry.
If the Celtics manage to get their act together, and become the Celtics of 2 years ago, I beg to differ.
And besides, call me crazy, I feel that Nate Robinson to the Celtics is a better acquisition than Antawn Jamison. I don't see Antawn playing well as a perimeter guy, as all the Cavs are perimeter players, and he's just gonna get into Shaq's way. If Big Z doesn't come back to CLE, they are screwed.
It really depends on LeBron's workload in the post season. If his teammates aren't making shots again it's going to be tough to win 1 vs. 5 Bobcats will be a tough 1st round matchup for the Cavs. They play very physical defense and will make Cleveland (LeBron) work for shots. They've beat the Cavs twice this year including a win in Cleveland. Tyrus Thomas could be a huge piece for them if he works out. Another potential 1st round matchup could be Miami. Wade is equally as capable of taking over a series.
