Imo if your PG is your leading scorer thats trouble.
But they have to do the vast majority of ball handling
and adjusting the pace and situations to fit the Man on the team.
I personally like a PG that can play D. Stop the initial penetration
is always first at the crucial junctures in games. Easy layups
by the opposing PG at critical points is worse than having the
star score imo.

Anyways.
Nice talking basketball on a horsey board.

Got something right finally.

Yeah, they were such an overwhelming chalk that 14 of 16 ESPN "experts" picked the Lakers to win the series before it started. Whatever you say man, we were the bad guys, sure. I'm loving life.

TVG Experts carry more weight than those guys. Get the f.uck out of here with that garbage.

LOL, you're probably right there. Funny thing is you had the Lakers winning in 4, so unless that was more sarcasm, you didn't think much of the C's either. I'm enjoying this immensely CP, and hope you don't hop on the IrishND petulant bitterness train. Goodnight to all, celebration awaits. :D:D:D

I was being just a little sarcastic.

The Lakers big men were exposed and they put on the skirts the whole series. They definitely need to get some physical players...and Bynum isn't the answer.

I think it would be interesting what happens with Bynum in the mix next year but I'm not so sure he's the answer. I don't think they can play Bynum, Odom, and Gasol all together. I think Bynum is going to need to be the number two option in order to continue his growth. You could see it in his play. He's calling for the ball on the block. He wants to dominate inside. That's going to take the ball out of Gasol's hands and diminish his effectiveness as well as Odom's. I think that sometimes, teams can have too many top individual players that don't know their exact role and it ends up hurting the team.

LOL...They don't try very hard to convert people. Last thing they want is more people in front of them in the biscuit line.

nice call...re re and injury to kobe would have helped the lakers.lil biznitches...freaking quit playing ..no hart l.a teams..how do you get blown out by 30?...priceless:D

the REAL good news is........the street ball league is officialy over.

EXACTLY....

whats the Avatar going to be Ateam you sunofabitch! :cool:

Gonna have to think long and hard about this one. Give me a day or so.. :)

It needs to be a Bill Russell or Kevin McHale picture.....or even the CHIEF...

If I had lost that bet Joey, and as a long time Celtic hater, it would pain me most to have to have a Larry Byrd avatar up

That is too easy.

He should rock the Red Auerbach(?) picture, since Phil can't and probably won't beat him....

I hear you, but Irish is too young to really remember Bird (as am I), so it wouldn't be quite the same.

Here's a contender:

I said the Lakers were totally reliant on Kobe(that's why I said I wouldn't bet the series.) He shot poorly the whole series. They weren't going anywhere with him missing open shots like he did all series. It was a very poor performance(much to the delight of all the low-level racists who are still outraged that he had rough sex with a very naughty white girl.) If your asking about the margin of victory, I think it's pretty simple math. Boston made about the same number of 2 point shots as they would normally make, but had an extra 30 points from the combination of free throws and three pointers. In other words, an extra 18 points from three pointers(than their average,) and they made an extra 12 free throws (than normal for them.) They shot very well. They deserved to win. It was a very hot shooting team(much like the years when the Spurs make everything they put up.) We will see how well they shoot next year. They played well defensively, but they were pretty much shooting out of their minds. The defense will remain. The shooting will come and go. It's obvious your attraction to the series had nothing to do with BOSTON, and everything to do with L.A. Your post has nothing in it about BOSTON. Your interest is not in BOSTON . ..."kobe"..."the lakers".... "l.a teams"...If Cali is so bad, then why is it the average house price is like 500k here versus 160k etc. in Pisscola?

Or, you know, to anyone who's been bludgeoned to death with Kobe media slurping and Jordan comparisons. Those people (just about everybody outside of Laker fans) might have taken some pleasure in seeing Kobe piss himself too.
