Let's see if they can win one on the road.

[Bon Bon]

They really don't have to becuse they will win all the home games, but I think they can take at least 1 of the road games. Celtics in 6

I feel horrible for jinxing the lakers. **** YOU RADMANOVICH.

[Kingdom_of_Zito]

Well, at this rate, Pierce has his legacy cemented.

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe it's just the homecourt advantage. We'll have to wait and see...next game is Tuesday in LA.

Here's what I learned from watching tonight's game:

1) Leon Powe is an awesome story, and may be the one Celtic who I don't dislike

2) You don't need to guard Sam Cassel, he only shoots when he gets the ball.

3) Sam Cassel sucks (see above)

4) Vlad Radmanovic is an very underrated player, and has a bit more of my respect

5) Kobe is finally past his ballhog character, with his 8 or so assists tonight

6) **** the Celtics, they're a group of perennial losers, who HOPEFULLY will end up like the 2004 Yankees. Sorry to bring it up brownie, but I want to see Pierce, Allen, and Garnett just have their hearts torn out

Kobe has been passed his "ballhog" days since the 04-05 season, when he scored, he scored because he had to score, he had no other help, but based on your logic, Chamberlain and Jordan must have been ballhogs aswell.

[ljshorty89]

Listen Buddy, I said that he was past that. I never once insinuated that Jordan or Chamberlain were ball hogs, especially considering that Jordan averaged 5.3 APG during his career, and Wilt averaged 4.4 from the Center position. Those are excellent when taking into account both position and team.

Now, if you look at Kobe Bryant and open your jaded eyes for once, you'd know that despite having Shaq for those years, and his better year this year, his career APG average is still only 4.6. That's .2 higher than Wilt, WHO WAS A CENTER, NOT A GUARD. So, in perspective, Kobe IS moving past those days, he's actually averaged over 5 APG for a couple years now, but has to continue to do so, even if his team may not be AS good.

So, seriously, stop being ignorant, look at what I wrote, and tell me I'm wrong, because I'm clearly not

[GiantsFanatic]

Because you cant says a player is a "ballhog" because of the number of assists he avg, if that was true then Tim Duncan would be considered a ballhog because he only has a 3.1 career assist avg.

[ljshorty89]

HE'S A POWER FORWARD/CENTER. YOU CAN'T JUDGE A GUY BASED SOLELY ON STATS, BUT THERE'S LESS OF A PRIORITY ON ASSISTS AT THE 4 AND 5 POSITIONS. Kobe is a guard. He came up as a ballhog. He was a ballhog for the majority of his career, and is finally past that. What's wrong with me saying that?

Celtics were the best team in basketball. What's the real chock here? I like the Celtics, mainly Ray Allen. I liked the Lakers when Shaq and Kobe won their first championship but hated Shaq after I found out what a classless dickhead he was. Then I started liking the Kings

[ljshorty89]

I can't stand the Celtics. They are a bunch of overpaid stars who couldn't win jack **** on their various teams. If they win, it will be more because of their bench. **** the Celtics.

[love_that_reefer]

The T-Wolves didn't supply Garnett with a quality team. Allen had what exactly? Allen, Pierce and Garnett have all got their lackluster teams to the conference finals before. The Lakers would be where exactly if they didn't get Gasol?
