    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lakers' guard Sasha Vujacic believes that the Celtics have been playing too rough through the first five games of the NBA Finals, according to The Los Angeles Daily News. "Phil (Jackson) told me after the game that he thought I was a bit emotional. And I think he was right; I didn't manage it right," Vujacic said. "It all started from that poke in the eye (by Celtics' guard Sam Cassell). I got a little bit mad because the ref was right there, and he didn't call it."

    Sasha believes that Boston gets away with quite a bit.

    "They (Boston) foul a lot. They get away with a lot of fouls," Vujacic said. "When we go back to Boston, we know that they are going do a lot of moving picks like they do, and they're probably going to get away with it. But we got to stay smart, stay focused, and play with poise."</div>

    Hm. He's pretty much saying the reason why I haven't been able to stand the Celtics all season long...

    I hope that they do "stay smart, stay focused, and play with poise" tho, and don't let it get to them too much. I hope they fight back a bit, too, because it's starting to get ridiculous.

    The fact that he's making excuses in the media just shows how mentally weak he is.

    Every time Sasha defends, he fouls and I mean every freaking time. You've seen the games yourself. lol


    Pegs, tonight will be the last game so you're going to be free from watching the Celtics and we will be free from all the complaining from you. [​IMG]

    Boston isn't at a level where I would just cement their victory.

    No one will remember the excuses though, just get it done LA.

    Excuses they may be, but he's right. They get away with a lot because of how physical they are, the refs can't call everything. Though, it'd be nice if they called KG on a moving pick here and there, he does it almost every time and I've seen him called once for it in the series.

    Well, maybe some complaining might help sway the refs.

    What Sasha is saying isnt showing "mental weakness", he's being completely honest. Its one thing to play aggressive defense and another to just out right foul everytime nearly.

    How many times has Kobe been called for charging this series? Yet early on in Game 5 Rondo lowers his head, goes fool speed into Kobe, and they call Kobe for a foul. KG fouls Pau on every single freakin entry pass to the post. He is all over Pau's back. I'm not gonna even get started on the screens lol. Just ridiculous!

    With that being said, If Kobe and crew show up tonight, Im not worried about a thing. Whether they will or not, is another question.
    It's in their hands.

    You guys sound smart...that's right..its because they foul everybody, not their precise rotations or their communication or their commitment. You're so ****ing ignorant and have a big blind eye to what the Lakers get away with. There is no conspiracy theory about the officials favoring the Celtics or letting them get away with a lot. Why don't you watch a game without the purple and yellow shades for once.

    So you're saying Vujacic is lying or something? Have you played against the Celtics to back these claims?

    I'm not sayin they arent a great defensive team, they are! And who said there was a conspiracy? I must have missed that. I'm takin myself out of this and standin back to take a look at it. Im not makin excuses, but can you honestly say the officiating hasn't been in Boston's favor?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    Look at you ignorant fools. Do you actually believe Machine is intimidated? This is just a mind game he learned from Master Zen. These statements are supposed to make Machine seem childish, weak, and pathetic. Instead, it is just something to confuse the Celtics. They will come into the game tonight, believing they will be able to abuse and destroy Sasha. But they have no idea what they will be facing tonight

    Speaking of mentally weak players, am I the only one that thinks Gasol looks like he's going to start crying when he gets upset?

    So does Sasha. But hey, at least you know they are upset. Everytime Lamar makes a stupid mistake, he looks like this [​IMG]

    Stupid turnover: Ah ****! [​IMG]

    Missed free throw: **** [​IMG]

    Stupid foul: **** [​IMG]

    Missed layup: **** [​IMG]

    The lakers ENTIRE team outside of Kobe and D-Fish are weak. thats why they can't beat the celtics. Posey, Pierce, Allen, Garnett, and even Rondo and Perkins are mentally tougher than the lakers. The trade for Gasol was overrated by the fact that they basically just gave away Kwame Brown for him. Gasol is a good low post scorer but not a good defender and definitely not tough or a winner. The Lakers will be the second best team in the NBA this season.
