couldnt have said it better bro
For those that hate on Phil Jackson, yet again an example of him knowing his team, he went to the pick and roll with Kobe setting the screens for Derek Fisher of all people, and it worked over and over.
The man isn't JUST MJ and Kobe/Shaq, he puts his role guys in spots to win games and make plays within themselves.
Phil gets credit for this game.

^right without Phils direction the ball would have ended up in Artest hands....and that would have just been horrible
the Ref situation needs to be addressed tho....its been horrible all series but last night was just disgusting to watch, they make up for ishhty calls with another ishhty call....the whistles are so late...it just all around sucks...the fouls they dont call are so much worse than the fouls they do call...I could go on and on....

--Cant expect these dudes to just lay down without fighting. And that stat about the team winning Game 3 with the series tied 1-1 in a 2-3-2 format is meant to be broken. Everything is. And this Boston team is fully capable of that.
i knew when we were up double digits...the celtics were gonna come back and make a game out of it cause thats how tough boston is
but wow d.fish was huge in that 4th...unlike some of my Laker brothers who constantly are out for fish's head during the regular season ive always been patient with fisher because i know what hes capable of during this time of year...what a coming out party in finals after 2 subpar games...usually fish comes out with backbreaking 3s but last night it was layups and midrange shots something hes not really known for...he has become the new robert horry for these Lakers
with that said i agree with you darth...i expect the celtics to come out firing from all cylinders and possibly even blow us out on game 4 setting the stage for a pivotal game 5...boston is not gonna quit and ray is not gonna shoot that bad again...also pierce is due for a big game so hopefully we have our antennas up to take bostons heart out
btw refs suck both ways man...make up calls is not what this game all about

The screens have been done since 2008, like Holden said. KG is just good at making them look normal. The Lakers aren't victims anymore then we are. I've just come to realize their is going to be some bad calls and they go both ways.

get out of here with that. KG fouls Gasol everytime Gasol is trying to post him up. Holds his jersey every single time. That last play was a clear foul on KG. They should have called Rondo for the over the back on Odom and then again minutes later wwhen he slapped Odoms hand for the rebound.Originally Posted by SCuse7
@ Kobe getting fouled almost every shot he takes.

Celtics do nothing but foul. Their definition of tough defense is foul and hope to get away with it.
Tony Allen doesnt just hand check kobe, he body checks him and gets away with it. Ridiculous.

The officiating is bad both ways, I think we can all agree on this. Yes the Celtics are fouling a lot more than they are getting called for but if you can get away with it then why not try? Just don't cry about it (coach) when you do get called for it. Same goes for the Lakers.

I wonder if Celtic fans realize it could easily be 3-0 Lakers right now...
I know one thing, Celtic faithful are happy KG is finally awake.

It's not though, the Lakers didn't hand over Game 2, the Celtics actually took that game.

Of course I know it's not but if the Lakers have played like the Celtics, especially down the stretch, I would be worried. I am sure Celtics fans know what I mean.

Agreed on whoever said Kobe got fouled plenty of times last night without a call. Defenders got away with so much stuff on him, but he also took some bad shots. Then he also missed some jumpers that usually go in.
Regardless, he was off.
Celtics still got away with that foul on Odom that they called out of bounds on him, they ended up with the ball. Same with that "Foul" on Odom towards the end of the game etc.
Doesn't matter though, we won, point blank.
Great finish by Derek Fisher. Kobe horrible offensively but his defense was on point and his blocks/steal was a difference maker as well.
All the calls Reviewed were definetly the right call. I can see why they did ODom wrong, can't call a foul on a review, but Celtics got some breaks at the end and couldn't capitalize.
Garnett shows up, no one else does. I love it

Could also look at it from the if the Celtics knocked down a couple of those open looks down the stretch perspective, you'd probably be singing the refs stole it from the Lakers tune.
If someone put a gun to my head and asked me if the Celtics can take 3 out of 4 from the Lakers, I'd probably say no. Anything can happen though.

This is why everyone has a poor perception of some Lakers fans on here. It could easily be 2-1 as well, dudes act like they won the Finals after each win.
REALISTICALLY, this series is getting closer and closer to ending rapidly for the C's. You cannot have one or two guys carrying the team each game. A lot of it is on Doc for his lineups and subbing, but not on him if these guys aren't focused. This is the Finals. You shouldn't need any sort of motivation or coaching to get up for these games. Most of the 2 C's losses can be placed on poor focus, lack of team work, and guys continuing to make the same mistakes.

Finnns you have no idea what you are talking about man. What about my statement makes you feel like we won the finals?
Nothing, the statement I made is truth. It could easily be 3-0 Lakers.
REALISTICALLY the Lakers appear to be the better team this time around. REALISTICALLY the Celtics should be worried about this team instead of making predictions about the series not going back to LA. Another reason why I feel the Lakers are better, mentally they are focused and poised. They are not talking garbage about winning in Boston. Kobe and Fish have this team even keeled. And the difference is the Lakers star players are actually playing like stars.
Now I know people will take that last statement to mean that the stars are playing perfectly because people here can't read. What I mean by that is they are not perfect but they are not letting bad shots, missed shots, bad calls by refs or anything else get to them. They are playing the game focused and moving on from bad plays and playing defense which is all necessary to win the whole thing.
And I see how much you love the Celtics it's somewhere in your sig smashed between one of the many teams you like from all over the country.

id usually be heated when kobe takes bad shots but most of the shots he took were good shots he can make but he did the little things steal, blocks and that saving it to bynum play IMO changed the game to our momentum

2008.
These Celtics have been shoving and clutching like they're in a mosh pit since they were put together in 2008. Combine that with their elite skills and athleticism and you get 2/3 Finals and at least one championship. Other teams just can't play like that.
I just watched the first quarter and I've seen the highlights from tonight. They still committed more fouls that they weren't called for. Not just "let 'em play" #@%% either. They were outright slaps and grabs on Lakers with the ball that went uncalled. What's just as bad though is the phantom fouls the Celtics are picking up make it seem is if they're victims when they aren't.
That's the stuff that Thibodeau teaches them how to get away with. They also grab jerseys and hold people a lot on defensive rebounds so that even when the offensive player is in good position and boxing out they can't get the rebound. The difference between 08 and now is that we have Bynum's length as well as Pau playing a little more aggressive and with more muscle.
