here we go again.....
Lakers have a huge lead early, Peirce decides he is tired of being behind and puts the Celts back in it by the half....Lakers looked like the Heat in the 2nd quarter....

I don't think this is going back to Boston....
What happened to all the Laker fans??? I can't even get a reply...
I think I need to be revamped on the definition of walk.
I must say too, I have never seen a foul overturned to another player after the following play. Had that not happened, Garnett would be out now.

Walk - Everytime Odom touches the ball.
Actually its everytime any NBA player touches the basketball. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
I've never seen someone with full control of the ball, slide all the way across the key, stop, and pass the ball without it being a walk at any level.
yea, rules are basically a suggestion in the NBA...
I think we will see a fist fight....
I'm gonna love it
I am a lot like Jeff Van Gundy. Posey is a player I want on my team, but if I am playing against him, I'd just as soon punch him in the mouth. He's dirty as heck.
looks like LA is gonna win...
Pierce played a monster game, the rest of boston failed to show up

Smooth move by Fisher to end it.
Shouldve been celtics ball with the play in the corner but not gonna get that call in LA...oh well going back to lose in Boston
How should it have been Boston ball?
announcers are right...
If LA thinks they even played a decent game, they are kidding themselves....
Ugliest game I have ever seen in the finals, looked like the Heat vs. Raptors
Tuesday will be the end

I was wondering that as well

travel or out of bounds on kobe? i thats who it was...anyway take your pick
Real joke of this game was in the end when Kobe was shooting free throws and the crowd chants MVP.
He had all of 5 second half points, and is one game away from elimination. Good job MVP, you won because the rest of the celtics didnt show up tonight
I don't know about all that...
1 good game by one player from 2 teams....Pierce
the rest of both teams looked like they just picked them up from Chuckey Doke High School
OOOH thats bad. Chuckey Doak is awful. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
raider, to be an out of bounds call, the ball or player touching the ball has to be out of bounds. You are reaching big time there. A walk may have been possible, I will give you that, but after the Pierce's impersonation of Chevy Chase sled on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, they may have let one go there.

Exactly right.

It would be different if all you jobs were Celtics fans. Instead, you all come crawling out of the cracks like cockroaches when your team loses or is beaten by a team in the Finals and want to bash who beat your boys.
LA put themselves in the situation they are in by lousy defense. Not switching of the pick and roll has allowed Paul Pierce to look like a million dollars when he's not worth 1.50. And Phil Jackson, some of his decisions, like giving Chris Mihm playing time in an elimination game and having Kobe ride the bench is just unbelieveable. But win or lose, LA did what they had to do to keep the series alive and send it back to Boston.
And about the LA crowd chanting "MVP"...don't see what the problem is since they were chanting for the guy who won it. Keep crying about Chris Paul...he's on his ass at home wishing he could be in the finals now.

Let's talk about how Kobe got to the ground on his back close to the baseline corner before you start crying about a missed walk/out of bounds.
You mean to tell me you didn't see that shove KG put on Kobe from behind to put him down on the floor...and a foul wasn't called???
Take off the anti-purple/gold glasses every once in a while and maybe 1% of what you post would be believable. As it is right now, your credibility is NIL.
I can't wait until the Lakers pull this off. I'm not a fan of either but i want to hear all these celtic fans chat about how they don't deserve it. How the celtics give it to them. Has everyone forgot in training camp, the Celtics "BIG 3" was already NBA CHAMPS and the Lakers was going to be lucky to be the 8th seed in the west. By all rights this series should have ended in 4, and the Lakers should have been pleased they have gotten as far as they have. But if this Laker team beats your "BIG 3" Celtics Fans this will be the biggest joke in NBA HISTORY........
One historical Finals comeback deserves another!
Tuesday will be the last game....
Pierce will score more than the MVP, again, and they will get their trophy in the garden....
Pierce was the only decent player on the floor last night...

Yeah all that talk was at the beginning of the season like you said, long before that trade for Gasol was made...so the Lakers were no underdogs coming into this like youre making them out to be, they were actually a favor be a lot of ppl coming into game 1...so if by some chance they were to win, it wouldnt be the upset of the century
To whoever said this series should be done in four games:
LA has been a favorite in every game in this series, sometimes by 6-8 pts, I think I saw one game go off at 9 points.

Yes I mean to tell you i didnt see that, obviously the refs didnt see it either...they must have not seen the push downs throughout the game by the lakers either...so as of right now, im not trying to make you believe me...when did i put "FACT" in front of it?...i think this will be over next game, hopefully and kobe will be bitching by next season that he wants out

Then you're blind as well as stupid. Moreso the latter though.

Yes they did--remember that foul that the refs called on Gasol (push in the back after the rebound) after he missed the shot over KG with about 2 min's to go? They called that.

All you're making me believe is that you know less about the game of basketball than a little green man from Mars, and that's probably giving you too much credit.

Doubtful. Kobe knows that if they keep this team together, and they add Andrew Bynum back into the mix at close to 100%, that this team is LOADED. This series would already be over if Bynum were in uniform, and the Big 3 would be making their offseason vacation plans to get better and try to come back after a Finals loss. He also seems to be happy with the teammates he currently has, though he was disgruntled last offseason. Win or lose, this season's proven to Kobe that as long as Jackson & Kupchak can put some good pieces on the floor with him like Odom, Gasol, and Bynum, that his game is that much harder to stop, which makes the Lakers that much harder to stop. He won't be looking for a way out.
I screamed on that end play that he was out of bounds, that being said, when I watched the replay he wasn't.
Granted Kobe's steal late was a foul but thats at Los Angeles, late and Kobe, you're probably not going to get that call.
Celtics suck it up and go on and hopefully win game 6.

I was screaming just as loudly that KG had pushed him down and that should have been his 6th, but it's the Finals w/seconds running down near the end--they're not gonna blow the whistle and risk being a scapegoat for either side, no matter what the situation.
