Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

As I predicted, the Lakers surged in the first quarter/half.

But surprisingly, they kept the pedal on the gas and routed the Celtics, 89-67. :shocked:

Now it's for all the marbles on Thursday. :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

David Stern must be having a woody right now. :rofl:

Comment on Yahoo! Sports:

"67 points? You got to be kidding. Too bad Perkins got hurt. His 2 points would have given them 69."

LMAO. :rofl: :hehe:

The only woody that fool's got is the one he plays with during timeouts.

As I expected, the police cordoned off most of the area in and around Staples Center just in case.... :sweat:

If he doesn't, the execs at ABC do.

Last year my friends were watching the last game of the finals at The Yardhouse, which is right outside the Staples Center...after the Lakers won...they happened to be crossing the street and these fools were driving around and randomly spraying people with mace and they got hit in the face with that sh*t. :shakehead:

Dayem. :shakehead:

Those are the kind of people that deserve to get stomped and billy clubbed by the police.

Seriously, man. How ridiculous. Just plain f--ed up and mean-spirited to say the least.

For sure.

Some people just use these celebrations as an excuse to make trouble. :shakehead:

You're so right. :say_yes:

Well as far the Finals are concerned this is the storied finale that everybody dreamed up...a game 7 between LA and Bean town. It should be an intense game.

Sports Bars are going to make a killing.

Dude that Yardhouse location I mentioned is probably already packed with people saving a seat for tomorrow's game. Cha Ching man on food & drink sales.

Various streaks 'n' stuff going into Thursday's game:

- PJ's 47-0 streak after winning game 1.
- Celtics' 4-0 streak in 7 games vs. Lakers
- Celtics looking for championship #18
- Lakers looking for championship #16
- Lakers try to win back-to-back

Whew. :sweat:

Terrible "performance" by the Cs. I guess they forgot they were playing the finals. :shakehead:

I find Phil Jackson's 47-0 streak, Celtics and Lakers looking for #18 and #16 respectively pretty incredible. That's a lot of winning to go around. That the two franchises will have 33 championships between them is amazing.

First Finals Game 7 for both coaches and many of the players, if not all, so I wonder how they will handle the pressure. I'm just hoping the Lakers play like they did last night.

I felt the same way about the Lakers the previous two games.

Odom is still pretty much MIA, so far. :shakehead:

Bad news for the Lakers, er I mean the Celts as starting center Perkins will not play due to a sprained knee. :beaten: Celts coach Doc Rivers is now at a loss on who can make up his 2 points a game. :doh:
