I hope the Suns can extend the current series with LA. LA's gotten far too much rest so far. If they sweep Pho they will have played far too few games. Add to that the fact that Stern gives teams a week off b/t every game to get the best TV slots and they're tremendously fresh for this time of year. Hopefully the refs let Boston play like they have against Orlando. That would be huge. I hope LA's lack of 3-pt shooting finally bites them against Boston. Unfortunately I have to root for that POS Rasheed Wallace to get another ring. Unfortunate byproduct of my extreme dislike for LA.
break it down, game by game... G1 Lakers G2 Boston G3 Lakers G4 Boston G5 Boston G6 Lakers G7 Lakers Lakers in 7
LOL dude that just sounds wrong. but yea i am aware of it. kinda why i chose it. Also, for all the laker lovers out there, the lakers cant stay focused enough to beat the celtics. Look at the performance of the celtics in game 3 against orlando vs the lakers against the suns in game 3. The celtics game was over by half time. Its a tie game pretty much after 3 quarters. Even if LA wins, I dont see the same passion and energy that the celtics have. Also, Rondo will take the lakers guards lunch money. He is more talented than all of them combined LOL.
I don't get the hate for Boston personally. The KG is a douche thing is overdone in my book. Let me break it down. KG flounders for years in Minnesota as a lone star who stays faithful to a pretty terrible franchise. His salary does hamstring them, but he pretty much spends the majority of his career without complaint and never mails it in. He comes to Boston and tastes his first taste of success and people are all over his "Anything is possible" and "fake passion"? Sure KG has some dumb antics, but at least you can't question where his focus is. He is always about the game. I don't understand how people don't prefer this to the sideline dancing and blame deflection that Lebron and the Cavs had, or the laissez faire disposition that the Lakers trot out every playoffs. As much as I like Dwight out of the younger players, I think he sometimes has this attitude that he is already there (and yes he is damn good) - but I would like to see some of that hunger in Dwight too until he wins a chip. Paul Pierce is extremely likeable in my book. A guy who is overlooked constantly by just about everyone who doesn't always scream look at me and wins without the athletic gifts of other superstars. Also a guy who stuck by a floundering Celtics franchise through thick and thin and never gave up. What is there NOT to like about Paul Pierce? I would take 5 of him on my team anyday and 10 on Sundays. People point to his wheelchair act, but excuse me if Pierce doesn't strike me as the injury exaggerating diva that Manu, Kirilenko, Gasol are when they get hit. Ray Allen is just a class act. Rondo doesn't exude this "I've made it" attitude and constantly points to the veterans who have gotten him here. The only guy that annoys me at all on the Celtics is Big Baby, but he is not half as bad as Vujacic. Celtics all the way, other than jealousy, I don't get what there is to hate on the Celtics for.
1) KG is cool in my book. people may think he's a douche, but that's just the way he plays. who cares? 2) however, paul pierce isn't likable. dude is a certified flopper (and he's black). you would think he always gets hit by a freight train or something. and he's overrated. he stunk it up in the first 2 playoff series in their first championship run. and he stunk it up v. the cavs. and yet he gets most of the credit offensively for what they do. i'm glad everyone knows rondo is the main guy now.
i think the celtics are going to lose the next 2 games. dont see it going past 6 games though. im just hoping above everything that the lakers DO NOT WIN IT ALL.
