    the celtics wanted the lakers to take this game, but stupid fouls to get in the penalty (odom adds another one to the tally), missed open jumpers, kobe playing like crap and overall dumb play didn't let that happen.

    and predictably as ever, kobe tries to force it now and can't. he's not going to shoot well this series.

    you're a bench player that just took 9 shots in freakin' 10 minutes. is that even possible for a guy who's a bench player?

    you're a starter and get paid $25 mill a year to lose in the first round,
    is that even possible for a guy who gets paid that much?

    everytime one of you hates on one of the former greats, the chances of bad karma happening the current rockets happens.

    keep at it!

    and just wow. absolutely wow. ray allen forcing a tough shot with 1 on the shot clock and vujacic fouls him. after the lakers got away with a couple close calls earlier in the possession. stop fouling!

    is kobe trying to play this badly?

    edit: and the lakers with another foul 40 feet from the basket. the lakers do not know how to play aggressive D w/o fouling b/c they don't play aggressive D ever. how can they not see this? every time they try to turn it up they just foul. phil jackson's inability to see this is costing them (and hurt earlier in the postseason but they were just too good). they are just giving away points and not making their opponents earn them.

    this last 5 minutes has just been a nightmare of horrific execution by the lakers. the celtics give them a chance, the lakers shoot themselves in the foot, rinse and repeat.

    how can you defend those 2 possessions that cassell did in a close game? if that was tmac, any normal fan would be all over the dude. cassell just missed his last 3 shots and did that. let alone he's an old role player.

    bad shot selection is bad shot selection.

    I told you guys before, tinman jumps off the Rockets bandwagon when they aren't winning championships.

    Hate on Sam, but Garnett is the problem -- what is with all the jumpers -- can you imagine Hakeem taking all those jumpers in the finals ? KG you're 7 feet tall -- take it to the rim.

    Pau's face during the slow mo replay of the Garnett tip dunk was great.

    That's right

    Hey if it were Luther Head, it would be zero points, I'll take 8 points from Sam Cassell in a playoffs game any day.

    KG is getting paid max salary to play against shorter dudes.

    that's why you give him all these help. he's always been perimeter-oriented. pierce is their go-to guy.

    we need to recognize our stars' faults and do the same thing.

    hakeem is an all-timer. stop comparing current with all-time greats

    care to revise that [edit: lakers] in 5 prediction A_3PO? you thought i was reverse jinxing, but i wasn't. kobe can't shoot, celtics D is better than lakers offense, celtics and role players just make plays. it's all happened here in game 1.
