Fisher is fine at the 2.

maybe Denver will be willing to cut ties with Iverson, boy would that be nice.

No Iverson. He will come in saying Kobe is the man and
just dribble the ball around. He is also really a 2.

Hoss is right Farmar is still young.

A older guy like Billups would help for a year or two.
A younger guy like the backup on Detroit...
The thing is Kobe is not an easy guy to play with.
So might have to be a PG that is already established
in running the show.

They just need to be stronger and smarter than Farmar.
And quicker than Fisher.

Can we get Kent D. to mount the Lakers and wrap them up...

It's good to see a bunch of career losers like Garnett, Pierce, and Allen finally see what it's like to win something.

Maybe one day Kobe will know what it feels like to win a championship without Shaq....but don't hold your breath, you will be the one with a blue face.

Team basketball wins championships.... defense and ball movement nothing fancy just effective.

Somebody needs to hand Rivers a cigar he did a fabulous job with Ainge this year.

#17 and counting...

Ainge will just take his pants down and Rivers can smoke on that instead.

I love you Kev. Career losers my balls. Redfaced words from a bunch of salty bitter girls. Sorry that your idol reverted to what he is: A glorified Vince Carter. Would Mike have ever let this happen? Answer that question before your thong sneaks inside your ass again.

I didn't see Pippen or Rodman on the court tonight. Stop being utterly ridiculous. A team that was picked by most experts to win it all before the season started won it.

Hooray.

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.

No it isn't.

I know, I tried being nice.

Farmar is a b.itch. There is nothing nice about his game.

[IrishofNDMan]

Farmar will be fine at PG for the Lakers, he is young but plays with some swagger and will continue to get better. Another PG they could bring in that I think would work good with this team is Andre Miller. Again, I don't know how realistic this is but it would be nice.

I'm not sure why people keep saying that the Lakers need a point guard. Phil Jackson teams have NEVER had top level point guards on their championship teams. He won what, five of them with Ron Harper playing point guard. Come on guys. Know the game. In that offense, having a top level point guard is not necessary. Phil prefers a big guard that can play some defense. Brian Shaw was a big part for him before.

This is a diff. game now.
Teams can play a moving zone.
Double off the ball, whole bunch of stuff.
The role of the PG has evolved.

The number 1 player in the draft is most likely Rose.
When was the last time a PG was taken,
besides Iverson?

BTW. I really believe this was a down year.
These two teams were definitley the best.
But not that good. Rondo leading the Celtics
to victory is like the Ravens QB winning the Super Bowl
for them.

I just can't stand Boston sports teams. They loaded the deck this year in football and basketball. Should be 2 for 2. Just seeing their fans act like they just witnessed the greatest team ever is sickening.

I don't like catholics either.

The role of the pg has changed but that's only if you are talking about they should get a pg to be their dominant offensive player. You don't want a guy that's going to dominate the ball because that's what Kobe's going to do. Same thing with LeBron in Cleveland. You saw the same thing with Pierce here. When it's most important, Pierce was the one doing the main ballhandling.

I thought before this season started the Celtics
could not possibly work with the D.

Rivers had done a great job.

I also agree with Pants. Odom will never play a big role.
He makes a great pass, and then promptly
throws the ball away, loses all his confidence,
and he tries to hide. I swear he does not want
anything to do with the ball at times. The heat
is too much for him. Things dont go well, he
is the first to retreat.
