NBA '08 Playoff Thread

I like the fact that Ariza is playing tonight. While he's not a scoring threat the way Radmanovic is, he has the ability to make things happen on defense and score on "junk plays." His energy, along with Turiaf's, is exactly what the Lakers need. Also good to see Gasol come out and be assertive early on. The key, though, is to maintain it throughout the game.


And jesus, enough with fuckin Pierce's knee. Next Memorial Day Weekend, I hear they're changing the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon into the Paul Pierce's Inspirational Knee Telethon.

 

And, since you're a Celtics supporter, your opinion on anything having to do with the Lakers means jack shit.

 

Yeah, that video they just showed, complete with sappy music was ridiculous. I kept waiting for an Outside the Lines special on Pierce's knee.

 

Hey I'm not complaining. If he wants to keep taking those "bunnies" you know the ones where he's fading into the first row, I can live with it.

 

Calling it wayyy too tight right now. Kobe has picked up two ticky tack fouls. That was a little bit of an elbow, but Allen didn't even flop or expect a call. No need to make that call.

 

Wow. Nice call, Delaney. [/sarcasm]
I don't wanna hear any Celtic fan complain about the officiating for the rest of Game 2.

 

You won't, bostonbred isn't here.

 

As long as that goes for the Lakers too.

They're calling it too tight tonight period. Too many off the ball fouls.

 

I'm not sitting Kobe for too long. The refs will not allow him to foul out of this game.

 

It sounds like there are a lot of Lakers fans at this game. There was a ton of cheering on that last bucket by Fisher.

 

Well, the good thing for the Lakers is, this is about the time Bryant usually sits. The last minute of the first quarter thru the first 3-4 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

 

If I saw Sam Cassell walking down the street, I'd have to stop myself from trying to cause him harm. Play Rondo 40 minutes and House the other 8.
