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.

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.

No it isn't.

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

IrishofNDMan · #13 06-17-2008, 11:44 PM

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.

Maybe having to compete with NY in baseball
has infected the entirety of sports in Boston.
Even though they made that comeback,
its not enough.

I dont like Lutherans... ostentatious bunch.

Just appreciate that a much better team beat the Lakers to the point of embarrassment with the same salary cap, draft choices and role players that every other team has access to.

The Celtics haven't won in 23 years there is nothing but dues paid for this championship.

Your other comments have been forwarded to the Pope for further review

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.

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.
