Can't wait for game 7

is300eater

see... the problem is... everytime the Lakers win a game by a blow out... they drop their guards, and either loses the next game or it's a REAL close game. I guarantee game 7 will be a LOT closer

MWalsh9152

ANY time that happens it usually sparks the looser in the next. See game 3 of the 2004 ALCS for reference

Kobe had the "fuck off" attitude at the post press conference.

Mizouse

Lakers!!

Good to see that everyone else other than Kobe showed up tonight.

A game 7 for the championship, at home, doesn't get any better...as long as the Lakers win.

Man. Game 7. Do or die. No room for errors. No room for slacking. Gonna be great.

Shift_Acura

Agreed

They better f***ing shoot Perkins' knee up with every kind of painkiller/anti-inflammatory they've got. We saw what happened to their rebounding when he went out.

elessar

One thing made me though. Right before the game, Jeff Van Gundy saying that people criticize Kobe for not trusting his teammates but, "trust me, he has the appropriate amount of trust in his teammates." Damn dude, tell us how you really feel!

Of course, Van Gundy has such a boner for Kobe it's ridiculous. Pretty sure he was the guy who, during the game, said that if Kobe's attitude were different, he wouldn't be taking so much criticism all the time. Puhleeze... most of the criticism is PRECISELY about his attitude! That's like saying that if OJ Simpson wasn't a double-murderer, he would be more popular right now.

Also, the clinching Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals was on..... June 17th. Just sayin'

things are a bit different with perkins out and ol' patch head in foul trouble.

the lakers can own the boards now.. and with home court advantage and some offensive boards.. i think they can take game 7 as long as they show up..

not saying it will be a blowout like last night for sure... but the odds are heading more for the lakers with the events of last night.

elessar

^ I don't think Patch Head is too worried about picking up that 7th technical now. This is the last game, no matter what. It still takes 2 T's to get ejected from the current game.

its a problem when he averages about 2-3 fouls within 5-10 minutes of being on the court... and now hes starting...

either he cant play "his game"

or they have to start a 3rd string guy..
both of which still hurt the team..

i guess wallace doesn't have to worry about getting 1 tech tomorrow.

I just hope we don't see Brian Scalabrine in uniform...

I agree. Now Boston knows how it feels to play without your starting center like the Lakers did in 2008 for the whole series. Even if Perkins were to play he won't be effective if the reports of the seriousness are correct.

Kobe's the man! i hope pussy's like vince carter are seeing these games and realizing it takes more to be a leader and superstar than standing around the perimeter shooting jumpers b/c their afraid of contact

Mizouse

Well I hope Perkins knee falls off!!

Dr. Colorado

Damn that was a srs ass kicking. Brown's dunk FTW.

i literally got up and clapped for teh ally-oop dunk.

is300eater

I'm not hating, just calling out what seems to be the trend with the Lakers. Believe me, I want the Lakers to win, I have a bunch of Lakers-Haters in my FB friends list and I've had to turn all their status off so I didn't have to read their shit

Dr. Colorado

LOL the equal hatred I have for the Lakers and Celtics is making this series extremely enjoyable and strangely compelling. I'm just stoked it's going to 7 games. I was not cognizant of how infrequent 7 games NBA finals are, 1994 and 2005 being the last two.

nice

Sorry, just finished dictating a surgical note. OK out of MD mode now

All the sports news outlets are reporting that Perkins is out for game 7 but I won't believe it until it happens especially since Pierce pulled that fake injury move in 2008.

goose25

More than likely he'll try to go for a game 7, if not then either Big Baby or Rashweed Wallace is going to have to step up big.

MWalsh9152

oh we will see the Vanilla Gorilla tonight for sure!

Perks knee went sideways, hes probably going to miss the first part of next season, nevermind this game. (unless hes robotic like Wes Welker)

Dr. Colorado

Time for Big Baby and Sheed to shine. Notice no Guaran-sheed this series?

MWalsh9152

I think (hope?) that Big Baby is going to come up huge tonight, much like the shrek and donkey show last week. He needs to come in off the bench though, I think starting a game 7 would be way too much of a mindfuck for him

very celtics fanboyish....but fuckin hilarious

Yumcha

I believe Beef et al won't be able to win Game 7. It can't just be all him...



But, hey...who knows. Depends what Boston team shows up.

Moog-Type-S

Lakers...meh.....L.A. is gonna burn tonight!!!

..all the morons and idiots are gonna come out of the woodwork tonight...and hit the streets.

Lakers #16 win tonight and the window closes on Boston for awhile unless they make some good moves in free agency and Doc Rivers doesn't leave.

Shift_Acura

Lakers have already been fouled like 5 times and no calls by the refs 4 mins in


NBA officiating is so inconsistant
