Lakers vs. Celtics prediction thread

[King Glorious]

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.

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.

Drunk, elated, proud.

KG: "What you gonna say now?!"

Enjoy never winning a title without the big man, Cheekbones.

Never a more deserving squad.

Eat it, KG haters. EAT THAT ****.
