Re: What a bunch of... All I can tell you folks that think the Blazers are close to these two teams except for injuries have another 'think' coming.
Re: What a bunch of... Their defenses are incredible no doubt. I still think a healthy portland with a different coach and fair refs could give them a run for their money. I think Boston is an excellent team due to absolutely incredible defense. You are probably right. Still makes me ill to think of the rapist hoisting another trophy thanks to 2X the FT's of the opponent. Jeez Stern why even have a season or more then 2 teams? EDIT: Also We've blown both of these teams away even missing one of our big three. The biggest difference is coaching and experience.
Re: What a bunch of... Agreed. We will never win a championship unless some major changes are made to the offensive and defensive sets this team runs. We also need a more consistent bench.
Did you watch the 4th quarter? They were all legitimate foul calls, and the Celtics shot themselves by getting 5 team fouls.
Re: What a bunch of... Not necessairly on the bench part. Lakers had an awful bench (even Odom wasn't that great) and they managed. We need that second star, Aldridge is not and will never be that.
Re: GO LAKERS.......... GO KOBE! GTFO. You Laker trolls need to be banned from ever cheering for Portland again.
Like the three point play to start the quarter where Glen Davis didn't even touch Gasol? Or what about the call on Garnett after Gasol threw up an airball against the shot clock. Not to mention the 8 second violation that wasn't reviewed, instead, more Laker FT's. For someone who was pointing fingers and calling people blind, you sure are oblivious to this rig job.
