Yay, It's the 2010 NBA Playoffs thread!

[k0ruptr]

this is getting bad.

[Crapshoot]

That was no foul - that was Kobe running into the guy.

Van Gundy and Co. made a good point about Nate the other game. When he plays in Celtics green, he's really playing much more like a PG than he ever has before. He's bought into the team concept in Boston. He's still a sparkplug who is looked at to provide scoring, but he isn't a complete liability in every other facet of the game like he used to be, either.

yea, absolutely the way I see it too, hes really changed (hopefully matured mentally too) Seeing him in NY the last few months was painful.

i'd love it if RayRay would take a discount and stick around and Nate would resign as the starting SG...

[SirFozzie]

Great start. keep up the effort, Gang Green!

[Crapshoot]

Rondo has 6 rebounds... as a point guard. That's ridiculous/.

[Chief Rum]

The Celtics are the ones who deserve the title when they play this way. If the Lakers can't be bothered to show up, they don't deserve to be on the floor.

It will be interesting if at some point, the guys in yellow actually start to play.

There are series where he averages a triple double (and rebounds is one of them). He just wants it more.

for some reason I see Nate as just being that much better coming off the bench as a 6th man. I think with his size it helps coming off the bench also. But then again the kid can score lights out when given the minutes.

[SirFozzie]

Need to get back in the flow there, too much clogged toilet offense (everyone standing around)

[k0ruptr]

it's crazy that the Celtics could dominate for 3 quarters and come out flat in the fourth and lose. I could totally see that happening.

Would be fitting seeing as that would reflect a lot of the Celtics season. I seem to remember this happening more often then not this year for them.

Nothing new, though. He had 18 rebounds in game 4 against the Cavs.

If they came out flat in the 4th quarter of game 7 they'd deserve to lose

Heh...that's what I was thinking. Not like Rondo hasn't done this before. Maybe having seen it enough, I am just inured to it and am surprised when I see someone express actual surprise that Rondo does that.

[Noop]

I think the Lakers will lose if Artest continues pretend to have offense.

[Noop]

Lamar Odom is an enigma.

[Chief Rum]

What Van Gundy just said about Odom...that's why he's one of the most frustrating players in the game. I didn't like him doing that with the Clippers, and it's still annoying seeing his inconsistency with the Lakers.

And as I type that, he makes a nice basket, lol.

[Crapshoot]

I hear you folks on Rondo, but its just damn impressive to watch the shortest guy on the court (Fisher I guess may be shorter) pull it off - if Rondo had a jump shot, he's a top 5 player.

I don't know how anyone could hold this opinion after the shitfest that was the refereeing in the first few games of the series. "Great" my ass.

Kevin Durant is everything Lamar Odom was suppose to be...

[k0ruptr]

ouch that looked like a groin pull for Fisher

[k0ruptr]

Bryant needs to quit turning the fucking ball over.

[Chief Rum]

Kobe's forcing the action is feeling a lot more like a detriment to the Lakers right now.

[k0ruptr]

How the fuck do you shoot 24% in free throws in the NBA Finals? W T F?

[k0ruptr]

Allen can't buy a bucket.

[k0ruptr]

Great O-board and put back by Odom

[Chief Rum]

Offensive boards...if my team (as a coach) gave up as many as the Lakers seem to, I swear everyone would be running lines at the next practice until they puked.

Nothing kills a team's momentum like a great defensive effort...and letting them get the ball back.

[k0ruptr]

sure feels like this is gonna be one hell of a finish to this game.

[JPhillips]

Dear Celtics,

The more you dribble the less chance you have of winning.

Thanks.

ROFL @ Scalabrine

Artest is a momentum killer. Either Kobe or Gasol need to be the focus of the Lakers offense with everyone else delivering passes or grabbing boards.

[Chief Rum]

Doc Rivers should be slapped around by Ainge for letting his team get into a situation which the announcer can accurately describe as "Scalabrine needs to put this up...".

[DaddyTorgo]

dont like that the lakers cut it to a 4pt game

[SirFozzie]

Are we having fun yet?

I'm enjoying it. Since the Angels are on an offday and the US will play while I am at work, this is a good way to pass a Thursday night.

[Crapshoot]

4 pts. Wow.

[larrymcg421]

I predict that I will not survive this 4th quarter.

Hehehehe. RUmor has it that people have been spotted on the Zakim Bridge in Boston and on freeway overpasses in LA, on Suicide watch

That and the heart attacks.. the hospitals must be overflowing...

[k0ruptr]

so uhh... who took under 187? lookin good.

[k0ruptr]

Really LA? Your really gonna shoot 53% at the line in game 7 of the finals? I'm pretty sure thats the definition of fail...

[Noop]

Artest STOP trying to be an offensive player.

[k0ruptr]

Wow Bryant's ball handling is pure suckage today.

[Chief Rum]

Coming soon to theaters near you... "Kobe: Doppleganger"

[SirFozzie]

If KG is behind Gasol, RUN THE LOB PLAY EVERY TIME

[Chief Rum]

lol @ that play.

[k0ruptr]

Huge FTs by #24.

[Chief Rum]

I hope Doc says thanks after the announcers finishing swallowing. Sheesh.

[k0ruptr]

Ray Ray in the Mfkn house...

[Chief Rum]

Nice shot by Allen. If he gets it going, could be tough for the Lakers to beat that.
