Pierce where are you ...

Too many guys not contributing when we need it.

Better overall balanced team is the Lakers I'm afraid.

Not giving up ... but long uphill from here.

The series aint over though. At anytime the refs can turn out the lights on the Lakers and start favoring Boston. Unfortunately, the Refs decide the Champion and not the players.

Ray Allen pulled off the world's greatest dissapearing act ever. As bad as the Celtics played this game was still winable. Everytime they cut the lead to 2. An offensive foul or a 3 point play for the Lakers would rescue them.

Boston is a better team but the Lakers seem to be getting lots of help.

Did you not watch game 2? The Refs pulled out bad calls on the Lakers through the whole game. Even the announcers were saying they were bad calls. But you didn't see me come whining on the board about it.  Look refs do give bad calls. Is it Politics to make there be more games. Maybe.. Buuuuuut the key factor in both games was Ray Allen. He helped to win game 2 and he helped to lose game 3 FACT.
And do I agree the Refs should go back to school. Yes I do. I do believe there have been bad calls ON BOTH TEAMS and during games 2 and 3.  But your putting too much on it.  Ray Allen is the reason they lost tonight. FACT!!

It was obvious they were both cold as ice.
Doc shoulda yanked 'em both with 5 mins to go.
Tony Allen, Richardson, Wallace and especially Davis could've done a lot better.

Pick up your heads!!
Still a long way to go.

I suppose your all heated and sweaty after that message.
I would love to get 'worked up' with you.
Maybe get a seriously tongue-lashing to boot (you and me both/the good kind!) and then a nice cool shower.
Now that would be the way to watch a game!!

hahaha!!!!  Yeah, I love sports and I do get heated especially about basketball and my Lakers.

How are you Jhonny? I hope your having a great week!!!!

But sh*t happens.
(tonight it happened to be on the parque in Boston)

I have not watched any of the games and I don't plan to. Gave up on the NBA after my team was stolen.  However, I will say that in my view all pro sports are becoming more and more like the WWE, the out come is set and the refs are in on it to make sure the "right team wins".

I think thats what you mean. No need to blame refs, Lakers wanted more, so they won.

...officiating. Too many paranoid sports fans that don't know the rules & never participated in competitive sports.

They’re making calls in split seconds, sometime they blow a call….that’s what make up calls are for!


Btw, I'm rooting for the Celts.

State thats why Boston won game 2?!?
Liorr's obviously 'special', so what's your excuse?!?

btw - The reason LA won/difference in the game 3 was Ray Allen play 40+ mins with '0' points!!
(this is not rocket science)

Liorr's logic Not mine.

LA won because of Derek Fisher, ( wanted it more)

A 'spectacular' lay-up with four Celtics flat-footed (watch the tape).
You can say what you like/believe and Doc would never call out one of his players in a press conf of the Finals (would be stupid to do so and he is not).
So, he has to come up with something to tell the vultures, sorry the sports writers.
BUT, common sense tells you if 2 of any teams major-minutes guys who are counted on to score DON'T, said team will lose.
(ask Lebron or Howard)
One guy did not win that game; that's smoke/mirrors.

I know the rules and I know how a few calls and change the outcome of a game.  I've also participated in competitive sports for years, as well as refed basketball.  If you would have read my post I stated I didn't watch the game and I overall want the Lakers to win.  I stand by my statement.  I can point to numerous examples over the years where a "blown call" or a "no call" allowed one team to win. Also think to the NBA ref who admitted he bet on games, don't you think he made calls to make sure that his team won????  I'm sure he was not the only one.

if you look at the tape they are all IN the Air, not flat footed.

One guy didn't win that game. It was a team effort, Lakers!
