:brick:chill out.

You ever hear of Elvin Hayes? Elvin NEVER, EVER committed a foul in an NBA game, according to him. Kobe is playing the refs like every other player in the league does. He's not doing anything that any other player in the league has done. Admit it, it's all a joke--the entire league.

I entirely 100% agree with you on that... entirely...

Every player acts like they NEVER commit a single foul... Kendrick Perkins is the one of the worse cuz he just always throws up his hands and then claps (you'll see him do it at least three times tonight)

but Kobe is so far beyond that... he isn't JUST working the refs...

I mean... Kobe as a human being... he's just not a good person. He's a terrible teammate (obviously I'm basing this off of the 548734538 accounts I've read on this and most importantly... Phil Jackson's book... but just saying obviously I don't know first hand... :rolleyes:)

but... he is just a terrible teammate, he is selfish... he cheated on his wife... he doesn't know the meaning of "no"...



Like... Lebron James made me upset because he was asking for calls and acting like he wasn't committing them too... AND Lebron gets more calls than any other human being... its absurd... Lebron could committ homicide on the court and they'd call it a blocking foul on the guy he killed... it's just absurd...

but he doesn't ATTACK the refs... Kobe literally belittle's them the entire game...

he acts like a complete child on the court, carries himself like a baby...


And I mean, I've played basketball my whole life... usually the "AND 1" cry out is an instinctive response when you get hit like really hard and don't hear a whistle... whether or not its really a foul, usually if you get hit in anyway it's just kinda second nature to yell out And 1... but i couldn't even fathom a single human being not even getting touched by another human being and crying out And 1...

that'd be like if I was in my driveway shooting around by myself and took a jumpshot and yelled And 1 at the woman walking her dog down the street... she'd look at me like I had three heads... but that's basically what Kobe did...

(Seriously I bet he does that...)

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. I thought it was bad when we blew a 15 point lead against the Pistons earlier in the Playoffs. This series is definitely OVER! I turned it off early in the 3rd quarter and then checked back with a few seconds left in the 3rd and I thought it was a mistake.

Congrats to the Celtics. It certainly looks like that Sunday will be the last game of the season.

Funny thing...even after that first quarter clinic the Lakers put on...I never felt like the Celts were out of it. They were getting shots off...and they had plenty of time at their end...the ball just wasn't dropping.

Gotta say, they really impressed me last night.

Green, you deserve that Gold!

What a game! I only saw up till 2nd quarter, but watched the highlights and post game interviews on ESPN this morning and was quite surprised that the Celts had won.
Wow, Kobe only had 17 points???? He really needs to get his head in the game. Lately he has been compared to MJ, but MJ used to take over a game when the team was down (specifically in do or die games) and then support the team when they were hitting their shots. Last night was the time in a huge game in the series for Kobe to show his amazing talents and :shrug:. Apparently in a post interview Kobe said he needed a lot of wine, a bunch of beers and about 20 shots. That should make him play much better on Sunday. :confused:

it's one of those things that just always happens in the NBA... where... a team goes up too big too early... the crowd jumps the shark... and then slowly the other team gets back in...

now that's not like what happened in Game 2... that woulda simply been catastrophic because the C's had all the momentum LATE... and lost that...

but this was like the San Antonio game for us early this year... I obviously wasn't happy, and didn't like how three different times in the second we got it to 12, 13, and 13... and everytime it jumped right back up to 18-20 and couldn't get over that hump...

but still... they clearly have the fire power...


RAYYYY RAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


my original C's in 6 off the 1,2,4,6 theory might be shot though... I see a team come back from this kinda loss... a generic team... almost get fired up by it... but what I see more is Kobe bryant self imploding and getting into "me" mode and trying to completely do it himself and really getting on his teammates...

he might prove me wrong... and last night I felt he carried himself much better than game 3 when i (clearly stated above) thought he was out trying to make the refs look bad...




regardless...

UNREAL GAME...

That was an incredible game!

At one point my husband said "it's over" and I was thinking.
OH NO IT's NOT! I was right (of course!!)

This is the Celtic's year and KG certainly deserves it!!!!!

Yep, this does look like Boston's year. For some reason, the Lakers don't match up well with them. But, with the team L.A. has, they should be back next year, especially with Bynum returning. Lakers may take Game 5, but no way do they win 2 in Boston.

Still, I'd rather lose to the Celtics than to the Spurs or the Pistons.

He's got plenty of whine already, and needs to not miss those 20 shots... oh, he was talking alcohol, huh? My bad... :lookaroun

Same feelings here. Also, if the playoffs really are all that matters, then people should shut up about how much better the West is than the East since (hopefully) two of the past three champions have came from the East.

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics!

Thanks for winning one at home for a change! It's been 22 LONG years since a championship was won in Beantown!

What a team effort.

Trust me, that isn't THAT long :). You guys have been spoiled, especially lately.

Congrats to the Celtics. I'm really happy for KG. Can't wait until next year.

Lately, but aside from this season, no sports championship has been won AT HOME since the Celts did it in '86.

Congrats to the Celtics.

After living and dying with every shot in the 80's rivalry, I watched maybe 10 total minutes of this finals.

Time to swear off the NBA again.
