GT: Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics

link

...I can just imagine it with the spanish accent

 

Good game. It could have gone either way, but I think the Lakers are riding an emotional high right now after the loss of Bynum and Kobe's epic game in NYC. Good teams play better in adverse conditions, and the loss of Drew is still fresh in their minds. I was pretty pissed that KG fouled out on 3 ticky tack fouls in a 2 minute span, but I don't think it cost them the game. The Celtics had plenty of chances, but failed. Surprisingly, the Lakers defense really stepped up in crunch time and left the C's with no chance to win the game in the 2 final plays.

That being said, I think you guys are definitely overreacting to the outcome a little. I can totally see why you could be more confident in your team against mine in a series, though. I saw a different Lakers team last night than I did in the Finals last year, so it should be interesting if we do end up against each other in the Finals again. I'm still pretty confident that the Celtics will win, but it will be a lot tougher for us if you guys can play with the same mentality that you did last night.

 

That was almost gracious

 

No.

 

Thanks for the kind words Thrilla. Hopefully we'll meet again this year.

 

Like 70% of Gasol's points were balls that got deflected to him after a blocked shot or a weak side rebound. If you take out all the accidental offense he had, he was pretty ineffective. He was almost invisible to me as I watched the game.

And again, Posey was not responsible for any of the great defense the Celtics played in the playoffs last year. I keep challenging people to go back and watch the games because it was Pierce who was shutting Kobe and LeBron down, and both of those guys did most of their damage when Posey was on them. And PJ Brown made a few good plays last year but for the most part he was just a body to throw out there that wouldn't screw anything up too badly. We have three guys that can do that.

We had more chances to put the game away than you guys did, plus the clock was in our favor at the end of the 4th and it OT. Don't try to make it look like you outplayed us. It was a back and forth game that either team could have won. Basically a tie. Not bad considering 75% of our team had the flu and even you admit that our best player was fouled out on a dumb call with a ton of time remaining.

I'm not worried, and if anything, it's better off this way because you guys will cry harder and for longer when you lose to us again in the Finals.

 

Wow @ the ratings. When is Charles coming back. lol

 

We totally outplayed the Celtics. No Drew, back to back road games, FT blowage, Kobe not having his best game, Odom started dead cold.

 

Man, you guys must suck because even when you "totally" outplay a team, they still take you to overtime.

 

Yes considering the situations I mentioned, it was pwnage.
