Lakers will be alright. They aren't as nubile as people like to think.

they had a great regular season. the turnaround was remarkable. the "big 3" actually worked (for the regular season). and it's the boston celtics.
obviously, it's easy to say now that they're all hype and overrated.
but the majority of the hype they got was for the regular season, and they deserved that, i think.
honestly, i don't think they're getting much hype anymore. there's more criticism than praise now.

I will say though, they aren't responsible for the hype. ESPN, ABC, et al, has built them up so much that its a pretty good story seeing the pre-season fave having so much trouble.

I think Doc should share some of that though. He's can coach an up-and-coming team to overacheive, but I don't think he's a great coach of talent.

watching the celtics game right now....86-79 pistions with 7 mins to go....Rondo is doing well BUT guy is SCARED to take a shot...he's had plenty of open 13 ft'ers and just holds it...if he can get down a good mid range he'd be pretty hard to guard IMO....

fuck, we lost... some stupid fouls on our part tonight...
the positive is that Jesus is back, Ray finally found his stroke...
Now it's time to go to work and win one in their house...

Yes Detroit!!!
Awesome, great plays on both sides. Detroit is laying down some massive defensive.
Garnett and Allen...sometimes its like how the fuck do they make those shots, great players.
