it's all about the money....that's why we're at game 7

I was feeling like that during the game yesterday. To be so precise, it looked like Rondo was just throwing the ball at the backboard, and giving intentionally bad passes to give the game away. Nate was throwing the ball around too like he had never played before. It was strange and unusual compared to previous games.

Pierce, Baby, KG, and Wallace played normal though, so I don't know. The Celtics just performed horribly I guess. Dudes better win tomorrow. Shannon Brown was hot with those dunks, but I want the Lakers to LOSE so badly.

yup. those aren't basketball players. they actors. all the whining and flopping... basketball died after MJ, Larry, Magic, Isiah, Hakeem, and hand checking. Back in the day, when the refs called a foul players actually got fouled.

college basketball is fake too. C'mon Duke vs Butler for the National Championship ??? None of those players will make an NBA impact.

Kobe is so annoying with that. You can't touch him without him hollering and crying to the referees like a baby.

WE????? The Lakers, son. Folks do that stuff all the time! "we" don't play, the team plays.

No shit. No need to be a technical asshole.

I saw 'we' about all 'my' sports teams. It just shows a fan's affinity for 'their' team.

Kobe isn't a flopper. That would be Pierce (on offense) and Derrick Fisher (on defense). Vlade Divac is the godfather of flopping-- in the NBA that is because he has nothing on soccer players. Ginobli flopped the Spurs past the Pistons for the title and specifically against Rasheed Wallace.

Kobe IS one of the biggest whiners though. His whining bothers me particularly, as a Lakers fan, when he's too busy pleading with the refs to run back down on defense. MJ did a lot of complaining back in his day but he didn't come off like a spoiled brat like Kobe does.

Yes!

And you're right, I shouldn't have highlighted "flopping." Just "whining."

Hope you ain't referring to me. I think the Celtics pussy out when they have a good chance. L.A. ain't a team to sneeze at, I know when L.A. gets right they can dominate. I just never understood why teams think bitching to refs would give them anything (Boston did some bitching when they came back home and lost).

Like that old favorite saying goes in paraphrasing, there's no crying in sports. MAN UP or BITCH OUT. Simple as that, you don't wanna be this guy:

I agree with everything you just wrote.

And yes Kobe does a lot of whining expecting to get calls because he is "Kobe." He needs to get his ass to the other end of the court and play through it . Damn. However some shit was blatant a few games ago but if you just play through it the refs will blaance it out with a call later usually.

But some folks thinking that Boston fucked up like they did "on purpose"? lmao

Maybe they didn't... but from the description, Boston has done this time and time again. It's like they can't hang when it comes down to pressure. They better be ready by whatever day Game 7 is (I'm presuming it's tonight, right?) because otherwise it's a fucking wrap!

Exactly that. Thats why I called people Celts apoligists or plea coppin because everyone knows the Celts modus operandi. They cant close out shit under pressure etc.

And to juxtapose it to be fair, Lakers have a problem with being too soft until they get put in a do or die situation. But that's because they are west coast finesse style. But when they get it together...they are beasts.

Jordan was the master of that. No one whined like a punk ass bitch more that him. He cried more than Oscar Robertson and Kevin McHale combined.

Quiet! That is against the anti-Kobe agenda.

It's weird reading some of you say the Celts can't close stuff out when they were big time underdogs three series' in a row now, and yet here they are in game 7 of the finals.

NO ONE saw them making it this far, (including me and I'm from Boston).

I think tonight's game is either going to be a Lakers blow out or a Celts win in a nail biter.

I'm VERY afraid that the Rasheed Wallace who can't play D, gets into foul trouble and loses his cool over the pettiest of crap shows up tonight.

I think the Sheed/Big Baby combo and a non-panicked Rondo are the key for Boston. As long as they don't implode and/or become a huge liability, the Celtics can win.

While I fear the blow out, I'll throw caution to the wind and say:

Celtics 98 Lakers 93

Good luck Lakers fans. It's hard to stay classy when I hate you so much.....

Lakers will back off Rondo and dare him to make the 'J'.

Well I'm definitely watching tonight's game after all the twists and turns in that shit.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAKERRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's ok. I'm not as cool as you, Kat. I'll be lame here, it's fine.

Thanks. Shame my Hawks aren't. We suck!

This game reminds me of those old Knick-Heat games from the late 90s. Nobody's givin' up nuthin'!
