NBA '08 Playoff Thread

Your first mistake was ever having JT The Brick within earshot.

 

First of all, the Lakers actually do play good defense. The problem is that they are very inconsistent. The reason is because of your Vujacics and Radmanovic. Vujacic and Radmanovic's basketball iq are extremely low(and I'm being nice). Vujacic can't play the zone at all. He keeps leaving his zone and going to to his teammates' zones, which leaves other players open. He's also terrible at chasing players around. This leaves players like Pierce and Allen wide open. Gasol is extremely soft. And I'm sorry, but if you're playing against KG, you can't bring that weak stuff if you expect to beat him. He also can't play pick and roll defense at all. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Kobe yell "switch!" after a pic and roll, and Gasol kinda just stands there and does nothing. Pierce ate that up all series.


P.S. It also dosn't help that Vujacic(alongside Gasol), play during crunch time for the Lakers.

 

Did Stuart Scott get booed or was it a "boo-yah?"

No question about Stern getting booed.

 

Sound like a boo to me .

 

David Stern: "I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO FIX IT THIS TIME!"

 

I was "rooting", if you want to call my massive disinterest "rooting", for the Celtics because of Garnett, ex-Buck Ray Allen and the uber-doucheness of Kobe.

But the minute I saw the party in the Garden, all of the references to the 17th banner, etc., I saw red, and remembered that I have always hated the Celtics. So really, no one wins here.

 

Stern wasn't getting booed.... he had already been at the mike.

They were screaming "Truth"

 

Could KG play anymore to the camera? Give me a break.

 

Danny Ainge really oughta get some face time here. He really should.

 

It helps to set the baseline.

 

Larry and the boys, even the first time they won it, acted with a LITTLE bit of decorum. Like they had been there before.

 

The NBA season is over. We're all winners!
