The Boston Beatdown thread....

[Michigan Girl]

Still on board w/the Boston Boys ...got some work to do!!

[ScarabGator]

Momentum is now back on the Magic's side..history will be made. The first team in NBA history to come back and win a series down 3-0...GO MAGIC!

TIM Tebow ain't walking through that door.....

no, Tim is too busy bashing thru the NFL's doors....BUT even without "The Chosen One" Magic take this series...

Dude, get serious....on the NFL depth chart it would be:

Todd Marinovich
Ryan Leaf
Jamawful Russell

then

TIM Tebow

I'll have to believe that when I see it.....

[S2M]

Uh-oh....its seems to be all over but the crying.

Paul Pierce, one of the goats of games 4 & 5, is lights out tonight!!!

[Everett]

bye bye magic

[StevePerryHair]

Damn!! I really hoped the Magic would do it. Oh well, good for Boston because having two teams lose the same way could have destroyed that town one was tough enough! Good luck in tbe finals! I think you're gonna need it

They're not gonna need it... the Lakers are basically a 4 man team at this point. I think the Suns would be a more fearsome opponent for Boston, as Boston is vulnerable to a team that runs (thanks for playing our slow lineups ex-coach Brown). But, winning two games in a row, including a game 7 on Kobe's home court, is a tall task even for Steve Nash and Amare

Agreed. Lakers were lucky Artest was there to clean up Black Mamba's airball....Suns had momentum if game went to OT. Shades of Big Shot Bob...

[Michigan Girl]

Game One at The Gahdun!!! Long way to go, yes ...good game east!!

[S2M]

Ok....who's ready for the beatdown?

Kobe's gonna get his.....like he always does. But I'm not sold on Bynum and Odom. Surrounding cast needs to show up big in order for L.A. to win this game/series....

I'm calling Gang Green in 6, possibly 5.

[Since 78]

I say Lakers in 7.

[bluejeangirl76]

I say Lakers in 7.

Go Lakers!

[S2M]

Jeesh. Boston looked like shit tonight. Garnett looked tentative. Pierce had 0 points in 2nd quarter. Allen, due to foul trouble, couldn't break through screens. I think C's only had 2 treys....Lakers couldn't miss, and Boston couldn't make shots...and L.A. still only won by 10 ( I'm not counting that garbage-time 3 by kobe).

Boston had been the best defensive team in the playoffs. And the most physical. Refs took that away from them tonight. Right from the opening tip the Refs were gonna call this game tight...Refs - 1 Celtics - 0

Oh Please! The fouls were called pretty evenly, the Celtics/Actors just couldn't take advantage of it. Fisher had to sit down within a couple of minutes of the game starting. They got beat, pure and simple.

Yep, and Ray Allen had 5 fouls through 3 quarters. Artest tackled Pierce in the first minute, and Boston wasn't allowed to be physical...Refs took that away...go tell it to someone who cares...a ten point win should make laker fans scared shitless....kobe carries almost every play, yet pierce gets called for it...Gasol travels eveytime he touches the ball, never gets called. Refs totally took Boston out of their defensive game....

Tony Allen got 3 horrific touch fouls in FIVE minites, forcing Doc to put in Finley, who got blown by twice by Fisher and Shannon Brown....wouldn't have happened if the Refs just swallowed the fucking whistles and let them play....tale away those 4 points and its a 6 point game....dude, this is TOO easy.....

"I was very surprised," said Kendrick Perkins, staring wearily at his shoes after being shoved around by one-legged Andrew Bynum. "They competed harder than us. They worked harder than us. They were all very physical."

"They definitely pushed us tonight and had us on our heels," said Paul Pierce, who made only six of 13 shots against Ron Artest. "They beat us to the hustle plays. That don't sit well with me at all."

I think about says it all. Not saying this is going to happen every game, but we lost last time for lack of being physical and that won't happen this time.

What were they supposed to say? Players usually don't bad mouth Refs after games. Even if they believe they got hosed, which they did....ever hear a soldier bad mouth the president ON CAMERA? Didn't think so.

You heard it here first....Boston wins next 4 games....

Ok, my friend, Ill write that down.

[YoungJRNY]

No fucking way, not by the way Kobe plays ball. They finally found the answer that was needed to sock Boston in the mouth 2 years ago, Ron Artest. Defeating the defending champs, ones that are PISSED off of how Boston handled them last time will be the toughest task yet and with Kobe at this stage of his career, I say L.A in 6 to cement Kobe's legacy even deeper.

[S2M]

Merry Xmas L.A. when was the last time Ray Allen went 0-13 from the floor? Gasol is the new king of the floppers, snatching the crown from Vlade Divacs....pathetic. 6 garbage-time poimts, and you won by 7.

Allen even goes 3-13 and you lose....lucky fucks.

[Saint John]

when was the last time Ray Allen went 0-13 from the floor?

Tonight.

garbage-time points, and you won by 7.

Kinda like Rondo hand raping Odom and Boston getting the ball back? Fuck, Allen couldn't make a wide open lay up when Garnett held and then illegally screened. This one falls squarely on Allen.

Oh...you mean when Pau flopped?

[journey361]

Sorry Boston fans but it took 8 3-pointers, 27 first-half points from Allen for Boston to win game 2 in a kinda close game. After tonight, it's going to take a effort from Allen, Pierce to combat LA and their balance with Kobe. It's the way it is and it is what it is.

Considering they completely ignored him being held by the jersey, I can't blame him for exacerbating the illegal screen. He flopped, indeed, but it was still a foul.

Oh...you mean how it took an O-fer from Ray Allen for L.A. to win tonight...yeah, I get what you mean. And like it took Allen getting in early foul trouble in Game 1 for L.A. to win that one too....Refs had too big of a presense in that game....face it.

It's the implication - that the other team never "wins"...

Question - has Boston ever been beaten - fair and square - by another team...in the playoffs, regular season, whenever...

btw - I despise the Lakers - but they were clearly the better team tonight...

If by better you mean their best shooter didn't pitch an O-fer, then yes, L.A. was better...but my take was legitimate...if Allen even hits 3 shots, Boston wins....and you know IF Kobe ever went ofer, the same stuff would be said from the other side....

Dude, but he didn't, he whiffed, that's the point of getting it done and not getting it done. Allen couldn't hit jack but that means absolutley nothing to the fact that L.A was the overall better team last night while Boston just couldn't put the ball in the hoop, it's really THAT easy. Watching KoBE is unreal, the dude is all over the place and hustles like no other.

Boston needs Pierce, Garnett and Allen to have a good day, not 1 of the three, or two of the three or Boston is going to have an early exit. Good luck going back to L.A, this will be over soon.
