2010 NBA Playoffs

[Change]

If Celtics advance, please don't let it be the Suns. Celtics don't have the offensive power to keep up with this team. Suns scares me.

At the same time If Celtics do lose in the finals, I'd rather lose Celtics to Steve Nash than those Fakers.

That was fun.

Shouldn't a genius coach like Jackson be able to figure out how to attack a zone?

The Lakers have one guy that can attack the rim, Kobe. That will be their undoing when they play the C's. C's backcourt will be the difference.

[misha]

Suns bench came up big.

We need our bench to come up big down in Orlando.

Let's go C's.

Suns have a good shot at stealing a win in LA....all pressure is on LA right now.

Their bench was huge. 54!! points.

Their weakness got exposed. Lakers don't have enough shooters. Odom, Artest, Brown, and Farmar are average to below average shooters. Fisher is old & inconsistent. Kobe has to carry the load every game.

[Celtics Fan]

Hype let me add this on thing about the Suns....they shoot the 3 ball better than ORLANDO by far SCCCCCARYYY MAN.

[Celtics Fan]

I forgot who worte the topic about Magic Johnson saying yeah the Celtics will lose game 5 and prolly the series, ok now whats up Magic, your Gaykers are choking tied up in 2-2 with the SUNS. Who is worried now.

The 2008 Lakers would have done better with Radmanovic, Ariza, and Sasha getting minutes. They were a better shooting team in 2008.

I agree

Zone isn't really doing anything except limiting Pau Gasol's touches for the majority of the game.

Kobe still got touches in the game.

The Suns zone left the weakest Lakers (Odom & Artest) open for outside shots.

Kobe and Fisher still made some tough outside shots over the zone.

I think limiting Gasol's touches on the inside is what is key about the zone defense.

[Celtics Fan]

We need to talk about tomorrow, how are we going to stop the dorn pick and roll and the pentatration in the paint?

[Dybdal]

I would love to see Phil Jackson throw a curveball into that series.

Pull out Fisher and throw someone with alot of speed into the starting lineup, see what that does to the zone.

Dont get me wrong, im rooting for the suns but when im watching the bastketball thats not the Celtics, im a basketball fan first and i would love to see that series take another 180 turn.

Balls in Phil Jacksons court, they were lucky not to have gotten completly blown out, allthough i think that would have been better when you think about the outcome of the game.

[Rondo_is_better]

Hype let me add this on thing about the Suns....they shoot the 3 ball better than ORLANDO by far SCCCCCARYYY MAN.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that we actually close out on shooters, though. LA sucks at defense. 3 consecutive open three pointers tonight, two from the same spot on consecutive possessions.

[Celtics Fan]

Again tommorow is game 5. I'm wondering how are we going to defend Nelson and the Zebras?

this is better suited for the game threads in "celtics talk", this thread is usually playoffs in general aside from the c's

Topic: I Will Tatoo My Entire Back if Lakers Lose Tonight

Yeah you heard it right. Starting from my left shoulder all the way down to my right hip. Im talking big letters S U N S along with their team symbol. At least 4 by 4 in size. I'm going to youtube as well.

Why would I do this? I met this really obnoxious guy at the sportsbook. A older gentlemen who I assume is on the wealthier side of life. He knows I'm a really big Dallas fan so this would kill me to do this. Game 3 we got into pretty heated arrgument. I stated the Suns were EXTREMELY lucky to win. To say the least, he disagreed with me. So if Suns win, I tatoo my back. If the Lakers win, I get 4k cash.

In Game 3 Amare had one of his best games of his carrer. Add to the fact that the Suns made 21 more free throws in game 3. I repeat 21 more free throws in game 3. Yet the Suns still had a hard time putting away the Lakers. Along with this bet, Im putting a really large amount of my own money on the Lakers.
