I'm not sure who the NBA thinks they're fooling, but the current game is a sham, with the way its being called. They must be hurting for revenues, losing money, so lets manipulate the game. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, they are sucking out all the reasons why I like basketball and we are playing the part of the fool......bring on the NFL.
I could care less about professional sports, they are all over paid and greedy. The players as well the owners are no longer interested in loyalty. I had enough when all the local teams were losing, so I lost interest. I could care less about knowing the players name, regardless of sport. I will however see what the local teams are doing, by looking at the standings. I'm no fool, I won't support any local team.
can you say crap-o-la? lakers will win and then The NBA will hype the third match up between the current rivalry that begain in 08. (Ching Ching)
C's bench overpowered Laker starters down the stretch. If that continues, and Bynum can't play many effective minutes, then C's win the title in LA!
You can't ask Kobe and Gasohol to do any more than they did last night and they still lost. The Celtics bench players are better than LA's and, unless Bynum's knee gets fixed up, Boston can win by attrition.
The Laker bench needs to show up....playing decent defense....Shannon needs to drive to the rim and draw fouls. First 3 Q's for the Celtics were not good. LA. in seven, pray the refs don't effect the outcome.
The Lakers' finesse and skilled execution of the game will give them their 16th NBA CHAMPIONSHIP! KOBE BRYANT IS A JUGGERNAUT! go Lakers!!!!!!
Andrew Bynum is going to play tonight and that will give the Lakers advantage in the paint. Kobe, (the Black Mamba!) Pau Gasol, D Fish, and Ron Ron will be playing tonight with refinement and best execution of Phil Jackson's stratagem; therefore the eve of success is here!.......Go LAKERS!!!
the celtics will win because apparently one ball hogging rapist isn't enough.
Although I strongly like both teams, I hope Los Angeles Lakers will win the 2010 NBA Finals in game 7 -- if they play consistently for four quarters. However, Phil Jackson should minimize the playing time of Artest and Bynum, especially in crucial plays. Both are very inconsistent and commit lots of turnovers in this series.
Moving forward to 2011 NBA season, LeBron James should join Kobe Bryant if he wants a championship ring(s) on his fingers. Not Chicago Bulls, NY Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers will give him his much needed NBA championship. In this regard, Lakers must let go Artest, Bynum, and other under performing member in order to give way for this so-called "twin power guards" of LeBron and Kobe.
Good luck to both teams!
The Lakers will give the series to Boston,most disappointing series the Lakers have ever played. Odom continues to be one of the most overpaid and undermotivated players in NBA history.
Boston has the better team, LA the better individual players. But that says it all, Bryant is quite a bit better than Ray is at this stage of their careers, and Pau is a bit better than Kevin, but by and large the Pierce and Odum battle tilts in favor of Pierce and Rondo is considerably better than Fisher. Artest has become a non-entity offensively and is not making much impact defensively. The reality is Boston is utilizing their bench much more efficiently than LA, particularly in the physicality of the game. Lets face it other than Ray Allen, most of Boston plays a power game, where LA is more finesse and finesse gets pushed out of its rhythm easily.
LA bench players will show up in LA along with the rest of the team. lakers will remain champs. watch and see!
the bench players will stepup and the rest for the lakers players will do the rest check this out .
