2010 NBA Finals

Postby Flip » Tue Jun 01, 2010 9:44 pm

I'm going for the Celtics, but I think the Lakers will win. I think they are better than they were two years ago and the Celtics aren't as good. Rondo is obviously much better, but the Big 3 have all declined some. As for the Lakers everyone on their team seems to be as good or better than they were two seasons ago. Fisher might not be as good, but he still makes some big shots. I'm hoping Rondo kills him. Fisher struggles with the really quick point guards. Garnett and Perkins match up pretty well against Gasol and Bynum, but Perkins is one T away from suspension and Wallace isn't as good as Odom and he's hurt. Kobe has the advantage over Allen obviously and Artest might be able to slow down Pierce even if he can't hit a shot.

Thoughts?

Garnett, Rondo, Pierce, Allen, and Perkins have never lost a playoff series as the starting lineup. I got the Celtics in 6.

Celtics played about as bad as they could have in game 1. I dont see LA winning in Boston, Celtics in 6.

"Celtics in 6". they've only played one game. Celtics need to win 4. 6-1=5.

If Boston wins all their home games and win in 6 they have to win 4 in a row.

I didn't think the Lakers would win last night. I also feel that many people don't talk about Kobe forcing shots last night, 29 shots.

Jordan was notorious for 28, 29 ,30....reggie Miller was more like 30-35 that's why you hire re-bounders...remember its a business and a job too. He also was smart enough to get it to his bread and butter, FISHER just like Jordan used to with Paxon and Kerr

It took a Fisher career-game (playoffs) and Ray Allen going 0-13 to squek one out...c's will be up 3-2 when it goes back to LA

Just because they took alot of shots doesnt mean Kobe didnt force shots. one specific shots sticks out to me, middle of the 4th quarter. he picks up his dribble on the left wing, glances to the corner, noones there so he glances to the top, no one, so he turns and hoists up a 20 foot fade away with tony allen right in his mug. still plenty of time on the shot clock, and he gave no one a chance to get open. as Shannon Brown was sprinting on the baseline from one corner to the other to try to help him out but he didnt even give him a chance to get there.

and as far as Reggie Miller taking "more like 30-35"...I would go back and check those NBA recordings you have...

Miller averaged less than 15 shots per playoff game. Kobe had 4 assists last night and none were to Fisher. Again you have no idea what you're talking about.

I wasn't talking Playoffs....whats the difference your star is your star and he shoots the most....and obviously you didn't watch the game because Kobe is the one who told Fisher to post up and take his man one on one....I didn't say he passed him the ball....don't you watch the press conferences????? I know what I'm talking about and I dont talk out of my ___ like you do

Miller's average shot per game was less during the regular season, but maybe you were talking preseason?

I rarely watch press conferences.

Miller was a gunslinger, a flat out ball hog with a crybaby attitude and was always shooting

12 shots a game during the regular season, averaged 18 points a game. Shot 47 percent for his career.

15 shots a game during the post season, averaged 20 points a game. Shot 45 percent for his post season career.

His most shots in a game ever was 29...funny, Kobe jacked up that many in game 3 and no one was suprised. Get your facts straight seriously.

He shot three in 8 seconds and made them all :) ....my point was 29 is nothing for 13 year veteran who is your shooting guard and I've already stated that I know Kobe is a Ball hog (still good though) I have seen this argument before with Jordan (who was notorious for being in the 20's) and whoever it was had noted 35 shot by someone and off the cuff I thought it was Miller...but anyhow it looks like old Reggie should have shot more. I'm not a stat man, I played....and if I'm picking my favorites I pick them with my eyes. but in the mean time, Please forgive me
