Game 6

Here come the cockroaches.

Ohhh well, Im a suns fan really a nash fan and anybody who is playing the lakers....a lot of ppl were Giants fan on that superbowl sunday so it doesnt make them cockroaches...

Ive always been a Laker hater as long as i can remember.

Are you kidding? The whole NBA is soft. If any of these teams played the Pistons, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, and Sixers championship teams of old, they would get swept. If Kobe pulled some of the stunts he has pulled like try to go for 80 points against Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, Bill Lambeer, Darrell Dawkins, or Maurice Lucas, he would end up with a broke jaw ala Maurice Lucas or he would be constantly picking himself up out of the crowd in the third row. I don't expect the young guys on here to know what I am talking about, but the older guys will know what I mean.
At least though the Celtics are playing good defense something you do not see much of. It is nice to see an "old relic" like PJ Brown have a good game also.
Now though the NBA is worried about protecting their star players and image....(hahahahahahaha!!!!!!) because there are so few. Plus the talent pool is so weak because of more teams and expansion. Just not fun to watch.
Kobe put an astrick (sp) beside your name.
*won championship with Shaq.

Yep almost as many as there were throwing their Kobe worship party, a lot of the same ones who were ready to run him out of town last year, during the off season and at the very beginning of this season.

The reason Kobe settles for jump shots as opposed to taking everything in, is a thing called defense. The reason that some of the others haven't showed up is that defense. I don't think Rando stealing the ball 5 or 6 times is due to Kobe's jump shots. I don't think the Celtics doing the little things, making the extra pass (what was the turnover/assist ratio again?), or boxing out is the Lakers not showing up, it's the Celtics showing up. Give a lot of credit to it being veterans on the Celtics, and leadership.

When the Lakers played their best in the entire series was when Kobe facilitated the offense, he had what 3 points in the first half that game, but 6-7 assists and the Lakers looked good. The Celtics looked great, Pierce was struggling but had what, 9 assists in the first half? Kobe is a GREAT player but he's not a leader, no matter how much he tries to tell you he is.

You are right, Lakers have no comprehension or do not care about defense.....I mean how can you leave a shooter like Ray Allen wiiiiiiiiiide open?
Time for mop up points, go for 40 Kobe! It means so much.

I wanna see the pasty white Irishmen put up a buck and a quarter.

A leader is only as good as the parts around him. Congrats to the Celts. They have outplayed the Lakers all around this series and sadly the Lakers still should have took it to game 7.

A leader makes the players around him better, Kobe does not do that plain and simple...a real MVP does that.

You mean the same parts that had the best record in the best conference?
