Dude all I know is we could have gotten to the confrence finals if it wasn't for the shit that kid pulled. Any player today would recieve harsh condemnation by their fans for that bullshit. So I really hope you're not okay with that.
The series itself wasn't bad, and I didmn't argue that before but that graduation shit to me was a mail in. In and of itself.
I lost all the respect I had for him that day. then he made it impossible for me to grow any new respect for him with the last two seasons he had left in Toronto.
And then he proceeded to murder that by getting to the playoffs next season playing injury free with NJ, a rival Atlantic division team and then proceeded to kick the Raptors out of the first round.
He's a piece of shit and deserves the karma he lives with, he'll never be a great. His best contribution to the nba will be his 360 dunk.

It doesn't matter. Unless you're having a Godly night where everything is dropping, you don't take 30 shots. If you do, your team will lose. No matter who you are. The fact that it's a PG doing it makes the situation even worse.
As for the Heat-Celtics tonight, I don't expect LeBron and Bosh to have nearly as bad games as they did in Game 3 and it's pretty unrealistic to expect KG to have another Game 3 performance as well. If the Heat play good defense, they should take the 3-1 lead tonight.

I don't think you can play "ifs" in this series or any for that matter. I think in the playoffs opponents study each other so fucking hard that every game is different...the "ifs" only matter during the game, not after in my opinion.
But you did say "should" but I think you get my point.
YuriLowell said:
Why would you ever wish something like that on anyone?
No my fault your dumb ass coach can't get over his fantasies with the Big Fatfuck to actually put the right people on the floor to win games and stop giving him isos and letting him jack up 18-footers to his heart's content.

Now a day later I don't know what I was thinking. It's terrible going out this year like little thug bitches but I'm still excited for the remaining playoff games. In 08 I couldn't watch anything even remotely related to basketball for weeks. This sucks but thank god it's not as bad.

Hahaha. Your words would depress the hell out of me all over again if I hadn't spent the last 12 hours convincing myself that we can rebuild and come back as contenders. However, If the lockout happens I'll prick my finger on a sewing needle and sleep the sweet sleep.

Yeah, Kobe, Fisher, and Barnes definitely aren't punk-ass bitches.

The 2006 and 2007 Suns teams that beat the Lakers were definitely better than this year's Mavs team, and the Lakers were able to win at least one game against them each time they played, so by one of those logical principles I can't remember the name of, the 2006 and 2007 Lakers were superior to this year's squad, at least in its playoff incarnation.
It helped that in 08 we lost in the last game of the NBA postseason.
You didn't watch the Olympics though?
Last time I felt this sick was when I had to see "NBA Champion Detroit Pistons" in 2004. I'm probably in the minority here, but I wasn't that devastated by the 08 loss. The team wasn't expected to get farther than the 2nd round when the season started, so just getting to the Finals was pretty satisfying for me. Game 4 hurt a lot, but a few days after Game 6 I was mostly over it.
This one is going to hurt straight through to next season, and the worst part is that we won't be getting any better.

Lakers just made them look good defensively because they ran nothing but Kobe isos and botched the inside-out game every time they tried it.
Prime Nash would slice and dice this Dallas defense to ribbons, to say nothing of Prime Marion and Amare with a penis.

That's not a bad way to frame the Lakers season. They always seemingly had something else on their mind since the summer of 2010. Kobe was right when he said that "some players are content with having two championships".

I just read back through celtics-heat game 2 posts.

Of course people are going to try to explain the Lakers away.
Maybe they were just overrated because Ray Allen forgot how to shoot and their enforcer went down (whom they traded away like idiots).
They're really not that good, guys.

The last two Lakers playoff eliminations:
92-131
86-122
Pathetic. Sure they won back to back titles, but honestly, I don't think they've been the best team in the NBA in any of the last 4 years. Actually, in every one of these years, i'd say the celtics were better. Have the 2010 Lakers-Celtics 7 game series repeated 100 times and I think the celtics would win 55-60 of those 100 series.
What really makes me think poorly of the lakers is just how badly they seem to play when the writing is on the wall. There's no drive to compete when they're being outplayed. That's not the heart of a champion, and the entire franchise should be ashamed of the team's lack of passion, especially deep into the playoffs.

The Clippers are the new Blazers. Everyone is forgetting that Griffin and Gordon are made out of glass like how they forgot Roy was.
edit: I looked at LeBron's minutes and holy shit, he's already at 25k in the regular season alone? He's got three or four years left after this one, that's scary to think about.

That's a bunch of bullshit. The Lakers had their chances, despite all that, to win on the court and couldn't get it done. No excuses required. Some of you Laker-haters seem to be giving the Mavs less credit than actual Laker fans.

and do the Celtics win the title in 08 if Leon Powe doesn't attempt 20 free throws himself? This ret-con'ing to try and discredit a 2peat NBA champ is pathetic.
Basically, they have championships, but they don't have champions. They're top 5 in the league in terms of ability but they've been fortunate to win in 2009 and 2010 and have a horrible attitude towards the game.reilo said:
