Boston vs LA Game 4 Thread

[kobe080]

Hey, Lakers shouldnt be complaining about the refs. Celtics are too much for the Lakers without Bynum. You cant beat the Celtics with Gasol at center. Perkins is too big and Artest cant play KG or Wallace. Series over without Bynum. Dont ask the refs to bail you out because Bynum went down in a very physical series. KG is playing on one knee and Bynum cant do it anymore.

This just makes me laugh. We'll see how it goes.

Just because Lakers lost to Celtics 2 years ago, dont think we are not CAPABLE of winning without him.

btw, Artest doesnt need to play KG or Wallace, its Odom.

Artest will stick with Pierce no matter what.

It all depends on Odom and his playing level.

Oh also, if Im correct, this game was the 1st game since Game 6 of 2008 finals that Boston won over Lakers on their own home court.

Lakers had a slight edge over Boston since 2008 Finals. With or w/o Bynum

If that theory was valid then there would never be a Finals sweep. This past decade has already seen it happen twice (2001-02 Lakers and 2006-07 Spurs). There has only been one 7-game series in the past decade. Sorry Dan.

I'm talking about this season not past seasons...

If I understand correctly, you're saying Stern wants more money this season but not so much in past seasons. Sorry, but I still don't buy that theory. Of course, maybe this is the first season that Stern has actually ordered a 6-or-7 game series.

He needs the money more so this season then back in the early 2000s..you dont have to buy into it, but the proof is there, so many NBA teams are losing money, Stern wants to make more by dragging things out...I'd honestly prefer Stern out as commish, i cant help but feeling every game that is played is fixed by him and the officiating

I'm sure you're not alone on that. We all know that his biggest concern is ratings, which equals money.

Well not having Bynum certainly hurt us.. even though it's been a horrible officiating series, Lakers gotta figure out a way to get a win like in Game 3. No way the Celtics bench plays like that again.

What's up with Glen Davis drooling and yelling after a basket... you haven't won anything yet buddy, calm down. i don't see anyone else getting cocky when they tie up a series.

Phil Jackson will have the Lakers ready, and the extra day will help Bynum, hopefully.

LOL just Davis bein Davis. He just shows hustle and that he wants a 2nd ring. It's pretty odd thinking it WOULD in fact be his 2nd ring in 3 years. Most people just don't think of him that way.

My 'theory' is he's playing for a contract, i believe he signed a one year contract so he's out there to impress and make more $$$, and win another ring (which he wont)

I did laugh after the press confrence, him and Robinson calling themselves Shrek & Donkey

LOL yeah. Weird I actually took my little cousin to see that yesterday too......... odd.

I guess the "LA in 3 games" prediction is out the window. The Celtics are better than I thought they'd be.
