fantastic, I hope DOc gives PP a few minutes rest at the end of the third so he cna dominate the 4th

[Hrvoje]

I'm impressed 

[Who]

Everything offensively is easier when Rondo plays with intelligence. Push the ball and keep moving to the open space as close to the basket as possible when his man doubles off of him. Well done Rajon!

[Cman]

Wow wow wow great stuff.  We won't let up this time.  Win the third quarter, finish this thing off.  LakersGround.net here I come, should be an entertaining halftime, good call Roy.

... AND the fourth quarter!
Cs absolutely cannot let up, gotta stay out in front, don't get too cute, keep making plays.  Lakers will go on a run at some point, Cs need to remember defense, defense, defense.

KG!!!! That last shot was sick. I'd say he's answering his critics. Pretty clutch too me. Kevin's too classy to say it so I will, F-U Whitlock.

Pierce's answer to Michelle was classic, "Its the NBA Finals and we're trying to win a championship." I'd have added a "Are you stupid or something?"

[Roy Hobbs]

can someone please explain the illegal defense to me?

On that last play, it was a defensive 3 seconds violation.  You can't be in the paint for more than 3 seconds unless you're within "guarding distance" of your man.

fair enough. why can't they call the offensive 3 seconds, the time before

The joke is, because refs aren't smart enough to be able to count on both of their hands at once.  Thus, it's either offensive or defensive.

I understand the 3 second rule.  But the two fouls on Baby for Illegal defense, were those 3 seconds?  I don't think so, he was just guarding Pau Gasol.  But maybe I missed something?

"Illegal defense" is one and the same with the three second rule.  There used to be a more complicated illegal defense rule, but that got eliminated back in 2002 or 2003.

24 minutes. We need to finish this game. No letting up. Win by 35-40 points.

"wow, kobe hanging his head. i've never seen that before."

My second favorite basketball site. 

[Onslaught]

Just keep this up. Don't stop at any time. Step on their throats and crush them! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Run up the score and run them out of Boston.

[Casperian]

CHOKE JOB!!!

Exactly, TP.

I never ever want to hear the words KG and "Choker" in the same sentence again.

'Spose i need now to sign up over to  LakersGround.net...

Nah, I'll just lurk for laughs, we're to classy to gloat 

But my oh my, that half was a total thing of beauty; Sensational!

Our bench is HUGE in that half!

[RebusRankin]

Love this from the other site:

I feel SO BAD for Kobe that he cant have a team like MJ or Lebron.

A team that DIES on Defense and REbounding.

That would SLIT its throat before they let someone out D them and out Board them.

What a PATHETIC DEFENSIVE TEAM

What a PATHETIC REBOUNDING TEAM

You look at the Cavs...Lebron shot 2/18 with 10 TO's in ONE GAME and his team was leading by 2 with 1 minute left.

Lebron shot 35% for the SERIES And the series was almost lost by the Celtics.

WHY? Because of D and Boards.

What a weak arse team man. Phil Jackson is the WORST DEFENSIVE COACH EVER. John Bach was his Tom Thibedeau in Chicago. John Bach is now dead.
