He wouldn't have had to if the Lakers made some more FTs... Made the game closer than it needed to be. :sweat:

Well they shot below 30% from the floor in the first half. They said Ron Artest went to dinner with his family wearing his entire uniform....now that's Ron!

Reading a few stories and looking at the some pics of the 'celebration' the 'fans' had, like was said, just any excuse to cause mayhem for some. :usuck: Oh well, guess it's to be expected nowadays from any city, would it have been worse if they lost? :beatyou: Yeah, fairly ugly game on both sides, Lakers really won it with those offensive rebounds, Garnett could not contain Gasol at all, :shakehead: Gasol had more ofensive boards than the entire Celts team combined, though his FT shooting almost cost them. :sweat:

Yeah, really embarrassing. :ashamed:

I still think they should've brought in a water cannon.

Wretched FT shooting on he Lakers part... Awful. :bleh:

Thought he was he was a fairly good FT shooter, maybe the pressure of the game. :sweat: And the way they were shooting from the field, could have carried over to shooting FTs, :nut: he wasn't the only one to abort a few.

Yup.

Their (surprising) D kept them in the game... Now if they could only play that kind of D every game. :fingerscrossed:

Played it when it counted, wonder if both teams played good D last night or was it because both teams were just so wretched in shooting. :bleh:

As the saying goes, probably both... Hard to believe both teams were horrid in FG%, but I guess it happens, just like both teams can be red hot and you have a shooout. :)

Watching a replay of yesterday's game... Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy are awful color commentators. :bleh:

They suck balls. The TNT commentators on cable are waaaay better.

Back in the day, we used to watch the games with the volume off and listen to Chick on the radio. :mrgreen:

Yeah, that was before the big guys took over all the sports broadcasting to fill their coffers. :grumble:

Chicken Stew were the best two.

LOL.

Now you're cookin'. :beaten:

I've got a friend who hates Stu Lantz: He always says Stu's middle initial is "P."

For "Pid." :rofl:

RIP Manute Bol

Disappointing end to what was one odd season for the Celts. It's just incredible that the offense disappeared that last two games. :shakehead: This was probably the worst basketball played during the Finals. So many turnovers and missed shots. :sweat:

This team was put not together for the future but to win now. The hope was that they could/would win at least two championships. As it will turned out, it's just going to be one. I'm not sure if I would call the "big three" successful or not.

Just read the Paul Pierce is declaring free agency... A ploy for more money, to get out of Boston, or both?

They said from a contractual perspective it makes more sense because he can negotiate based on the most recent collective bargaining agreement which is more favorable. I'm sure Boston would love to keep him but that guy is getting worn down as time progresses, and he ain't exactly young, by NBA standards.
