NBA Playoffs anyone?

Bynum says he'll play in Game 5 (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AvjHNaU9aB0s.t3w_dzxXJy8vLYF?slug=mc-bynumlakers061210Bynum's)
If he wasn't able to come back that'd be huge as through Game 3 he'd been close to the equivilant of Perkins and Davis combined for the Celtics despite playing 10-15 minutes less a game than the 2 of them. He just adds a huge element to the Laker's interior defense that can't be ignored.
(Bynum=13.3ppg/7.3reb/2.7blocks vs Perkins&Davis= 16ppg/11reb/1block)

The low pt totals for Pierce, Allen, and Rondo has atleast a little to do with the fact a good portion of their shots are being contested/blocked by either Gasol/Bynum or Bryant/Artest/Fisher. I mean the Lakers are averaging almost 8 blocked shots a game!! Kobe's still averaging 28.3ppg without any really low games except game 2 where he was in foul trouble the whole game and still got 21. So anyone who follows the NBA should have a feeling we might be in store for seeing a 40pt+ kind of game from him soon. And I'm sorry "holding" a player that's a 95% jump shooter to 41% shooting is not what I'd really call successful defense as that's only 4.5% less than his season average(that's about one less made shot a game for every 20 shots taken).

So as I said I'm not worried. I expected each game to be a battle because there's a reason each team made it to the finals, but I haven't seen anything in this series to make me believe the Lakers aren't the better team in this match up when all is said and done.

Cs survive the Kobe explosion.....GO CELTICS !!!!!!!

I don't really care for either team, but I don't need to see Kobe and Phil win anything else, so I'm pulling for Boston. Plus Rondo is quickly becoming one of my favorite players in the game. He's so nasty. Aside from Chris Paul (coming off of serious knee surgery), I'm not sure there's any point guard in the league I'd take over him.

Oh yeah! Great game tonight, been exciting series. Hats off to Kobe! What a game in the 3rd quarter, my dad and me where like is he ever going to miss?

Celtics defense stepped it up a notch and Lakers defense was no where to be seen. Next 2 r at home, but everyone not named Bryant in a Lakers jersey has to stop standing around hoping Kobe will save the day and hit atleast a few shots. But that's a point Jackson is probably telling the team that despite a porous defense and no one other than Kobe scoring more than 12 points, they only lost by 6.

Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning. -Dom

In real sports involving teams with point contribution from individuals, it does matter. I mean, shit we talk about it all the time in relation to the skins the last couple years haha.

Ok I hear you the Celtics will keep piling up the six point wins and the Lakers can feel good that they only lost by 6.


What does the NBA Championship trophy "that we only lost by six" look like? I have never seen it.

You keep using historically facts or comments like we only lost by 6 to keep making yourself believe the Lakers are going to win it but the Celtics just keep rolling.

This coming from the guy who jumped off his own teams bandwagon after game 1 haha. You know what, I will still keep believing my team can rebound from 2 tough loses on the road involving poor performances by everyone not named Bryant and use home court to win the series, because that's what real fans do.
