NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics

[God]

Thats how we do it Boston!

[Kakarot]

Good thing the Lakers get the last 2 games at their spot. They better hope somebody besides Kobe shows up, or Boston will win in 6. Kobe cant do it alone.

Artest needs to man up and play some ball.

[C47]

If anyone other then Kobe shows up tonight for the Lakers they would've won. They didn't and they lost, some terrible calls helped but thats no excuse for the way Gasol played tonight.....

I want Boston to blow LA out by 30 in game 6

[God]

[Kevin Greene]

Game 6 should be interesting.

Can Jackson light a fire under the Lakers asses?

I suspect he will and home cooking will win out.

I Always felt this would go 7 anyways....look for the Lakers to get at least a 2-1 free throw advantage.

That wont happen....Stern wants this series to go to 7 that is so obvious.....

[Dpantherman]

i called Boston in 6. im still skeptical but i'll stick with Boston. please LA fans, don't blame the refs. blame anyone but Kobe, who scored 38 pts.

Yea.... that's why thru 3 quarters the Celtics had only shot 6 free throws.. or something like that.

[C47]

It's not the free throws they shot, its the fact that they were allowed to do pretty much anything on D, Bynum and Gasol were getting hammered down low....like I said before I'm not blaming the refs for the loss.....if ANYONE showed up with Kobe tonight we would have won....

Celtics are way to old and their young guys are average.

What does it say that the Mighty Lakers who won the title last year (over an expansion franchise) and went out and got Artest still cant beat an older version of the team who demolished them in '08?

Guess we now know who the real King is.

You're damn right. The real King doesnt shoot his team out of games only for his fans to scapegoat his teammates for not showing up. How could they when the "black hole" comes out in the 3rd in panic mode and shoots every shot? Its not a coincidence that despite his 19 point outburst and difficult fadeaway shots, the Celtics lead expanded from 6 to double digits at that point. Kobe cant beat this team by himself. By the time the 4th quarter rolled around, the 31 year old looked too old, tired, and fatigued once again to knock down a shot and his teammates were slow defensively and offensively from being shut out most of the 2nd half. People mistake "will to shoot" with a "will to win", and people compare the "black hole" to Jordan when they should compare him to "Pistol Pete" another player who lived for making tough shots and didnt care about shooting percentages. With 2 games left in LA I guarantee you Doc Rivers & the gang are praying, hoping, begging for Kobe to come out and shoot the ball as much as possible. Good things happen for the Celtics when he does.

Owned.

Wow are you kidding me,....."The Black Hole"......please if anyone other then Kobe showed up last night for the Lakers we are talking about this series being OVER right now.... Kobe didn't shoot us out of a game, he made sure we weren't out of it.... and as for the lead expanding, I'm not sure it's Kobe's fault that the entire Lakers team not only was pathetic on offense but on the defensive side of the ball as well.....Artest is a waste and they should have kept Ariza........

[Dpantherman]

im so sick of excuse. for the love of all things good and mighty quit kissing azz. Maybe the Celtics are better right now! jeez
