How can you hate the biggest rivalry in the NBA?

Well for one, I just hate boston (Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, and technically Patriots). Theres multiple reasons for each team there, but some how all but the bruins have screwed cleveland over in one way or another. Then for the lakers, I just hate kobe. And all the lakers are, are just kobe.

 

[StarlightSearcher]

I want to see Boston win as I am a partial Celtic fan. I can see this series going 6 or the full 7 games. If it goes to Game 7, it's going to be huge.

why do you hate Kobe Bryant?

Now I have my Celtics T Shirt to wear, Go Celtics! Rondo, and the rest of the team are player too good for Kobe and the Lakers to handle.

Kobe on top of his game right now he is the greatest player in the world, rondo and the old 3 cant stop him...sorry man that's just the truth

 

[Rush]

Celtics have been worn down. On top of that, they have an old squad. Kobe is focused on revenging the 2008 loss. So is Fischer and the rest of the team. They are tired of the media and the constant 2008 talk.

Lakers in 7.

 

[MadSci]

^Yup we just saw that tonight, Lakers much more aggressive, Pau played really tough I believe it was 23 pts and 13 rebounds, we out rebounded them played more physical and were in total control through out the whole game, lets hope we can do the same in gm 2

 

[Rush]

If anyone wants to know how serious the Lakers are, look at Kobe while he was sitting down. Chris Rock was talking to him and trying to get his attention. Kobe just kept staring at the court with such force.

If we play like this again in game two, I'm changing my prediction to Lakers in 6.

 

[Riskbreakers]

Well the Suns lost and I just can't stand Paul Pierce calling himself the best shooter in the world after he won the 3 Pt Contest so I have to suck it up and say go Lakers.

 

[jimkakajim88]

Phoenix Suns.....my favorite team...but this yeari think Boston gonna win these finals!!!!

 

[Riskbreakers]

Boston better pack it up

Phil Jackson coached teams are 47-0 in series when winning game 1

 

[MadSci]

^Yup. hahahaha

 

[omahanime]

Boston 103-94 over Los Angeles in game 2

 

[Rush]

That was the most BS call I have ever seen. It cost the Lakers the game. KG clearly touched the ball last and not Gasol.. I cannot believe it. It gave them the possession and a 5 point lead. From there it was trouble.

 

[StarlightSearcher]

Can't we go one game without someone criticizing calls? The only reason you're doing it is because you like LA and are finding excuses to stare away from the fact your team got outplayed.

Simple as that.

YouTube the replay. KG CLEARLY slapped the ball out.

YouTube the replay. KG CLEARLY slapped the ball out.

When they kept the call, I was happy, but mad that people were going to be complaining about the play, as I believed that it was off Boston. Even if the call had been correct, Boston would have most likely won.

 

[Rush]

Wrong. It changed the complete momentum of the game.. Boston was only up 3 during that turn then the bad call and two more points. Bam, 5 point lead. From there it was downhill.

 

[MadSci]

Yes that call was BS it should have been Lakers ball, and even though the refs reviewed it, they still stuck with the original call, that just blew my mind any person that has eyes could see KG's hand clearly touching the ball last. I wont blame that bad call for the Lakers lost but Rush is right, it did change the momentum of the game. The game was a back and fourth for the most part and Celtics had the slight edge at the end and came out with the win.
