Uncle Man Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Scalabrine? The Celtics would sooner exhume the corpse of Bob Cousy. Thing about the Celtics in '08 is their bench dwarfed L.A., they had a variety of guys who could do a variety of things, defensive specialists (posey), three balls (house), and another quality big off the bench (powe). They didn't really replace those guys, Davis and Robinson are now the extent of their bench, Who plays Michael Finley in the 2010 NBA Finals? During a post-game interview or media day or whatever, Gasol (foolishly) said that KG had lost a step and was basically approaching if not over the hill. Such a thing as too honest Pau, basically giving the Celtics a reason to play at their best, that said I don't expect KG to have a game till the series goes to Boston, a little bit of home cooking and the refs swalloing their whistles in an aggressive garden pretty much guarantees this. i forgot about rasheed wallace which is easily done.agree celtics have basically downgraded,powe,house and championship vets like posey and cassell did theyre bit in 2008 but i reckon theyll be alright this year,tony allen and big baby can do work,i wud still give scalabrine a few minutes just for the hell of it,wat u mite lose in rebounding you gain in shot consistency if the scoring is stagnating.robinson was also decent of the bench i think he has established himself as a decent second option,sometimes he makes bad decisions though speaking of scoring how about ray allen breaking the finals record there 8-11 3's swoosh,thought kobe wud cancel him out the series hes basically done his bit,now kg, rondo and pierce each have to step up for a game to dominate scoring and the job is done i think gasols mind games were pretty good he learnt them from his father phil jackson,garnetts shooting was awry trusay he was dead in game 1 but yh i think garnett steps up in the next one a lot of the calls went bostons way as well it has to be said but youve got to love a silent staples center at the final whistle celtics in 6,jack nick to have a coronary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Fell asleep before the game started. Was getting too comfortable, Thursday night I'm sitting upside down. Switch back with about a minute left in the 4th. L.A. up 87-80. Pierce hits a bucket and one. Flops the free throw. Can't remember the next L.A. possession but following it Ray misses a lay up as Garnett gets called for a moving screen. That's game. From what I'm reading/seeing the refs had another stinker. If the finals are teaching us anything it's that winning is cheap. Good thing I'm a bargain hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Stat lines KG goes off in Boston. 11-16 for 25, people looking in the wrong direction saw this coming. Ray Allen. Misses all shots. 0-13 including 0-8 from behind the arc. Kobe 10-29 for 29 points. I might start calling him Rocco Lampone; there is no shot he won't take. Fisher was the man in the 4th. Grabbed hold of a Laker team that lost momentum and coughed up the lead and put them on his back in a torture rack-esque scene of glory, includes a fast break lay up with three Celtics shirts contesting the shot. Odom - 12 and 5. Banked in a 3. Streakiest player ever? Post Game Interview Gasol - Finished with a double double but only had one shot in the 4th. During a locker-room interviw Barkley called him the premier post player and asked how he felt when the Lakers get away from their length and don't exploit his 'general excellence'. Pau went to his go-to-move 'exasperated face' before responding he doesn't mind when they win, but he does when they lose, and sometimes when they win? Kobe had almost three times the amount of shots as Pau (10 to 29). Gasol should be restricted to Spanish interviews. KG - Non sequitur answers and deflection citing the 'fines and gag orders' the league bandies out. Things to watch in game 4. Bynum tweaked his knee in the 3rd and sat out most of the 4th. I beg he holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Man Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 lol at ray allen bringing new definitions of hot and cold in consecutive games,wat a wasteman garnett was taking it to the cup evrytime as if gasol wasnt there,shud keep it up imo big baby was impressive outpacing odom and coping with bynums size adv.him and tony allen did well to bring boston back within two from a 17 pt deficit for doc to put the starters back and them to lose the game pierce has sat out most of the series so far,hes been getting called easily but he has been commiting unnecesary fouls and generally looking uninterested and hard done by needs to have the kind of game he used to have were he hits threes and drives in the paint to pick up the and 1 for 35 pts,boston aint doing enough to put the lakers in foul trouble perkins needs to dunk,in fact ervy1 in boston needs to practice there post moves as kg has done since game 2,the only aggresive finishing came from big baby and tony allen apart from kg showing how easy it was in the first 5 mins rondo needs to learn how to shoot free throws wen i saw bynum limping up the court was a positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Waiting for another update on Bynum, it's imperative that he be able to play decent minutes in game 4. Imperative. Hopefully the tank is ticking dangerously near E for Garnett, but against a weakened L.A. frontline and facing a 3-1 hole ? He may dig deep =/. Pierce after Game 2 - "We ain't coming back to L.A.!" You could be right schmuck. Pierce is due, been playing with a Joe Johnson level of efficiency atm, he's been hampered by foul trouble but tbfh a lot of key players have had the same problem, and all have managed to submit at least one good performance. Rondo is tired as hell, hearing he's shooting 31% from the free-throw line? That's not a good look. Hopefully Doc Rivers continues to run him into the ground, instead of playing Nate Robinson like a competent coach would. More production from Odom yes please. Game 4 is pivotal ***** Phoenix Suns Grant Hill is gonna be a sun next season. Stoudemire has said that "We've got the fans excited about basketball again, so what I don't want is for me to have to leave and the fans are now not quite as excited about the game here. I want to keep the hype, want to keep the fans involved, want to keep everybody ecstatic about the Phoenix Suns." Needless to say, he is pushing for a max deal. Chicago Bulls Land Tom Thibodeau (Celtics assistant coach), Superstition is happy about this. Nets Land Avery Johnson... *clears throat* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Q Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Lol @ Big Baby. I am pissed to have been missing the games 'cause of Exams! Ray Ray needed to be Jesus the other night, yet he was playing like Kwame Brown or something. Watching tonight, hope for another win at the garden.

Superstition Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thibodeau has oodles of experience (although not as a head coach), commands respect, conducts legendary defensive schemes and has a real offensive game to match it. One of the best guys on the market, short of PJax swinging back home for a last swansong threepeat. Apparently he sealed the deal by proposing a drive-and-dish offense centred around Rose, seems the best option given Derrick's strengths. Defo excited at the prospect of an actual offense in Chicago again I didn't see Game 3 so I'm struggling to picture that KG performance - he looked like a corpse in the first two games. Blowing open dunks, rattling them off the rim coz he couldn't get any lift Sheesh @ Ray Allen. Dude left his jumper in the Staples Centre Surprised Pau is still getting so few shots in fourth quarters, considering Kobe's not shooting entirely well. And the non-Kobe ballhandlers (Farmar, Brown, Artest, Odom) get bare happy with the overdribbling, especially when Kobe's not out there It feels like Boston has outplayed Lakers so far tonight, but LA always find a way to keep it neck-and-neck. Davis is doing his thing in the paint, he must be taking lessons from Barkley in undersized PF offense. Rondo's free throw shooting really has crumbled. Wonder if Phil is considering Hack-a-Rondo down the stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilliam Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I didn't wanna say this earlier but I kinda feel without Bynum all hope is lost. Second chance points and that, mullered us on the boards. Mullered. Gasol is a ditz, keeping the ball high on a lob, fair enough, but when you're rebounding in a close game you pull the ball towards your chest like it's your first born and you're lactating ! Don't keep it high so rat kings like Rondo can pick you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstition Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Lakers' fortunes will def depend heavily on what Bynum can give them from here. If he struggles and sits, the Boston frontline shifts downards - Perkins can guard Gasol, and importantly KG goes on Odom which reveals a huge intensity differential. The team which controls the boards has won the game every time so far this series Just watching the 4th quarter of last nights' game. The Nate-Big Baby-Sheed-Tony Allen unit stepping up reminds me a lot of the Suns' bench explosions in the Western semis and finals. So difficult to adjust to, especially against a squad without a reliable deep rotation (Lakers pretty much go seven deep if Bynum is hurt) - your starters get worn out against waves of fresh bodies LOL @ the crowd chanting "NO MEANS NO" on Kobe's free throws. Commentators were bare awkward Skip to 0:50, dude looks like a dinosaur Either that or an Al Pacino impression from Godfather 3 Pierce doing what we'd all like to do to the refs these playoffs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstition Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Bynum's had his knee drained again and says he'll definitely play tonight. Remains to be seen how effective he'll be Apparently Crawford is reffing as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
