i guess i never paid attention to the all-defensive teams after the DPOY votes came out. did battier really not make the first team? good grief.
JVG: "There's no way Kobe Bryant should be a 1st-team all defender if Shane Battier of the Houston Rockets is not on there." JVGGGG, we luv ya.
pierce kinda moving like this is a serious injury, or at least a semi-serious injury. but the replay didn't make it look like anything too bad happened. as nice as it would be for the lakers, you gotta hope he gets up and is 100%.
uh oh, PP went down and holding that knee, looked like he twisted it from the replay... looked like Perkins kneed PP in the back of that knee JVG plugging Shane, and shouting down to Jackson lol....
i'm pretty sure everyone but the voters knows that. but voters tend to be stupid, live on reputation for years past the expiration date of that reputation, and just go with the popular view. and pierce in a wheelchair, not good.
From the looks of it, I would guess Pierce would be out for a couple of games if not the whole series if he can't even get up by himself to go to the lockerroom.
if any team can survive losing a pierce, it would be a team with boston's ridiculous D. and from earlier in the playoffs they have experience with pierce not scoring much. lakers can't let down and just think they're going to win now. the celtics will try to use this to come together and play harder.
vujacic sucks at guarding ray allen. he gets lost on the picks like crazy (at least 2 or 3 times now). and celtics are 4-0 since losing pierce. edit: and the lakers getting themselves in the penalty early in quarters with useless fouls is going to hurt them again. such a stupid game from them so far. and now pierce is back. don't know how you go out on a wheelchair and play 5 minutes later. is he a soccer player?
holy crap, another stupid foul. now kobe just slapping pierce. these unbelievably low percentage gambles that just hand the other team 2 free throws are just amazing. lakers aren't winning this game.
how does allen knock the ball straight out of bounds and they call it out on vujacic? what were the refs looking at exactly? edit: every time pierce gets on in the playoffs, he never seems to miss another shot. it's ****ing pissing me off. 2 3's in a row, the second one a ridiculous 3. this is why you can't beat the celtics.
Probably for shock effect. If they lose "but Pierce was in a frickin' WHEELCHAIR!! " ** Asterisk by the championship
