  first… Go LakeShow

• Elyse Posted: May.30 at 9:06 am
  Us Laker fans have it so tough. Jeez. We haven’t been to the finals since 2004- woe is us. Good thing we are back. I don’t know if I could take it anymore.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 9:08 am
  Congrats to the Lakers and all their fans.

• geoff19 Posted: May.30 at 9:12 am
  Hate the Lakers but congrats, seems kinda fishy that they have the two most storied franchises in the final the year after the match fixing scandal, but I digress!!!
  As for the Spurs, this was the playoffs from hell – 1st the bogus plane and then the non-call, hopefully RC Buford will start earning his paycheck instead of hoping that the “big 3″ (which in this series was more like 1.5) will carry everything. Having said that, I hope Horry, Finley, Barry, Stoudamire, Vaughn, and Thomas ALL leave or retire so that SA can surround the “big 3″ with younger hungrier talent
  If I were the Spurs I would give Josh Smith ANYTHING HE WANTS to bring him to SA. Furthermore, SA HAS to stop drafting from Europe, they have 2 AWESOME centers in Splitter and Javtokas of whom ive seen and Javtokas is a poor mans, younger Sabonis. AS a Spurs fan, hopefully this embarrassing loss brings about HUGE changes

• marcgar Posted: May.30 at 9:13 am
  who ever wins celtics or boston they win the championship

• Sam Posted: May.30 at 9:18 am
  ELYSE what about the suns fans! lol.

• Silky Slim Posted: May.30 at 9:20 am
  Mamba was smiling like a kid in a candy store, during the trophy presentation. Lakeshow in the finals!!!!!

• marcgar Posted: May.30 at 9:22 am
  geoff19: i think there is going to be big change. td even said they need to make some changes after lasnights game. dont get me wrong i love barry, bowen, horry and finley but we need three younger players included with the big three. i hate to see the old men leave san antonio. hopefully something gets worked out for everyone

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:22 am
  I’ll say it again (argh!!!) I’m happy for Holly, Marcel, Myles, Bodie, jay and everyone else that cheers for the Lakers. They’ve had a good feel on how the team would come togehter and they are just about there. I think if they draw the Celtics though, they will have issues. Boston was built for this season. The Lakers next few seasons look bright. I think the hunger of KG is going to be a slight bit more than Kobe’s and that could be the difference.

• marcgar Posted: May.30 at 9:23 am
  kobe was mamba lastnight his performance was unbelievable… damn kobe

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 9:24 am
  How about this quote from Bones Barry: “The news prompted Barry to throw out a “Back to the Future” reference. “That’s awesome,” Barry said, “Because Doc Brown is waiting for me outside, and we’re going to get in the DeLorean and fire up the flux capacitor and we’re going to go back and shoot a couple of free throws.” ” – - too funny

• Sparker Posted: May.30 at 9:26 am
  has anyone ever been hospitalized because of smugness?

• Young Chris MP3 Posted: May.30 at 9:32 am
  Doc Rivers coaching against Phil Jax? LOL… This is gonna be funny…

• Gerard Himself Posted: May.30 at 9:35 am
  Frog, did he say that after the game? Brent knows his 80 movies!

• B. Long Posted: May.30 at 9:35 am
  @Eboy: Did your keyboard throw up or did you really just type that KG is more hungry for a ring than Kobe? I know he has never won one but just because he screams more and talks to himself all game doesn’t make him more hungry. Did you watch the game last night? Did you see the look in Mamba’s eyes last night. Thats the look of a seriously hungry dude. like crazy hungry.

• WhaHuh Posted: May.30 at 9:36 am
  It all depends if KG decides to play as a proper PF, less jumpshots more post ups. Gasols defence in the paint isn’t very strong. the celtics as individuals have choked too many times.

• chairman mao Posted: May.30 at 9:37 am
  you just can’t trust the frenche to run your team! feel bad for timmy, but hey, he got rings! And kobe is the shiittzz! my people want to see Kg in the final. cuz he deserved a ring more than anybody! kg! kg! kg!kg! and your people need to know that we don’t give d about yao, all we care is the good basketball game and good players, who play hard everynite! and the Y.A.O. is not in that catergory!

• Silky Slim Posted: May.30 at 9:37 am
  The Lakeshow started the first quarter with very little energy. Gasol was missing bunnies and no one could score buckets. Maybe they were nervous or tight. It took awhile to get the Lakeshow going, but eventually they started rolling. You knew Mamba would strike and attack in the 4th quarter to close out the Spurs and he did just that.

• Holly MacKenzie Posted: May.30 at 9:38 am
  I am completely, head over heels, ridiculously in love with our boys. Yes, yes, yes. That was my favorite shot also, Marcel. He’s special.

• maio Posted: May.30 at 9:39 am
  Just wait til Bynum comes back

• Jess Posted: May.30 at 9:40 am
  Im not a fan of either the Spurs or Lakers, but I was pulling for the Spurs, even though it would make for a less interesting finals, I cant come to cheer for Kobe. At the beginning of the game last night I thought to myself, heres the Spurs we all know and, well for the most part, hate. But then the ret of the game happened..wow..terrible. As much as I hate to admit it, Kobe and the Lakers deserved to win the series. But what a ridiculous shot by Vujacic at the buzzer I mean come on show SOME class. Even though the Spurs were robbed in game 4, it wouldnt have mattered if they would have continued to play they way they did this series. The East, hopefully Pistons, will win it all.

• James the balla Posted: May.30 at 9:46 am
  @Marcgar- “who ever wins celtics or boston they win the championship” last time i checked they were the same team … and to EBOY the knob who said KG is more hungry than Mamba … are you sh!ttin me. Have you ever watched Kobe play with the hunger in his eyes … it happened last night. KG aint droppin 40 points without trying in the first half!!!

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:48 am
  B. Long, I know you sometimes seem misinformed, so I’ll give you my theory on why, if the Celtics get past the Pistons, KG will be the deciding factor. KG will make Gasol a non-factor, which is going to be critical. It then leaves Odom as the 2nd option, which for all intents and purposes, is not the Lakers best look. Kobe will then be forced to do more than he needs to. While The Robot played ecceptionally well against the Lakers, the rest of the team basically sh*t the bed, and his defensive presence is nowhere on par with KG’s. Kobe will either take Allen or Paul (probably starting out on Ray Ray so he can drift and play the passing lanes)but if he switches off to Paul, as PP has shown all playoff long, long defenders haven’t bothered him (Lebron, Tayshaun) He’ll be able to get off on Kobe as Kobe will do the same against him, but the problem is, the Celts have a really big frontline. The Spurs did not. Perkins, PJ, Garnett, Powe, they’re all big bodies that will clog the lane and make the life of Bryant much more difficult than the non-existent wall the Spurs built.

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 9:51 am
  Gerard – yeah after Game 4, before game 5 in reply to the “Apology Doesn’t Help Spurs” … gotta love the 80′s

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:51 am
  James the ball licker, don’t type my name, and I’ll do the same. KG doesn’t need to drop 40 to be effective. He’s would be matched up against one the softest PF’s in the league if they play the Celts. His domination of Pau is an afterthought to his singlemindedness. Or have you never watched a Lakers game before this season and noticed that Kobe has held a championship trophy 3 different times. He’s not hungrier. Just as maybe, but not more.

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 9:51 am
  Eboy is also bitter since he called the Spurs to win vs. LAL (so you can take his predictions with a grain – or truckload – of salt ;0)

• Sesa Posted: May.30 at 9:52 am
  I’m a Kobe fan but The Spurs should be ashamed, the 4th quarter is like a shooting drill for Lakers

• Sparker Posted: May.30 at 9:53 am
  i agree with eboy: the lakers match up better against detroit than boston. i’m not sure they won’t win anyway, but there are some pretty good reasons why winning vs. the celts might be tougher. to add to what eboy wrote: they don’t have anyone big and mobile enough to stay with kg; and two, pierce seems to really get up for playing near his hometown

• sfgary Posted: May.30 at 9:53 am
  Free tacos, baby! That’s what the fans in attendance at the Staples Center got when The Machine hit that shot at the end. Classless? I can see where one might think so, but on the other hand you’ve got to appreciate Sasha’s firing one up for the fans – don’t think for a minute that he and the rest of the team aren’t aware of the taco promotion. And that doesn’t even take into account the final shot meant an 8 point win – beating the 7 1/2 point spread and lining the pockets of lots of Lakers fans (while costing Vegas casinos a fortune). All in all, a shot worth taking…

• James the balla Posted: May.30 at 9:54 am
  Nice cal froggie … and Eb!tch … ill say your name when i wnat. But if you say mine, raise your hand!! KG should try and drop 40 so maybe they can try and beat a team without luck in game 7!!! And Kobe is more hungry because of the 3 rings he has … everyone says he cnat do it without Shaq. When someone tells Kobe “he Cant” he usually does it, very well.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:55 am
  Froggie, I thought they would win last night, not the series. Big difference.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:56 am
  James, you should learn proper grammar when you want, too.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 9:57 am
  Also, he was told he shouldn’t in Colorado too, and that didn’t seem to matter then either.

• James the balla Posted: May.30 at 9:59 am
  Wow, never heard the Colorado joke before … good one. Keep em’ comming!!

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:04 am
  If I knew what “comming” meant, I might just do that. And it’s odd, every other team can be discussed, criticized, whatever, and the rest of the teams fans, supporters, critics, take it without much fanfare. You start talking about the Lakers and it’s like the rest of the world is against you clowns like we’re trying to steal you wallet or some sh*t. Give up people, you just root for them, you’re not getting paid to do it. I think congratluations were given to Lakers fand by two fo the biggest non-Lakers fans on these comment boards. No hate, just difference.

• Sesa Posted: May.30 at 10:05 am
  Eboy, what’s with the Laker hate?
  I thought that you’re a pure basketball fan aside being biased towards the Heat?

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:05 am
  Can we have this argument if/when Detroit gets eliminated? Thanks.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:05 am
  *fans

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 10:05 am
  Eboy – I was going off the predictions on shawn kemp off spring …. BTW when’s the next update? ;0)

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:08 am
  Froggie,as soon as the East is decided. Which means all our predictions will be wrong again, I’m sure.

• Andy Posted: May.30 at 10:10 am
  Thanks, TAD. About time that someone pointed out that there’s another team still in this equation.

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 10:11 am
  LAL over DET in 6 . . . ;0P – there everyone likes being wrong

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:11 am
  TAD, you little fu*ker, I have noted that the Celtics need to get by the Pistolitos first in each of my comments. It just seems like it’s “destined”, know what I mean?

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:19 am
  It IS destined, but the Pistons go by the beat of a different drummer, so i’m quite sure they didn’t get the message.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:20 am
  Well, apparently Sheed got the message, hence the fine.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:22 am
  I’m rooting for your boys, TAD, but unless Dennis, Mahorn and Isiah, circa 89, come to shootaround tonight and play the last two games, I think they fall just short on Sunday.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:23 am
  Mahorn WILL be there, but doing the Pistons radio broadcast of course.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:24 am
  Honestly, if my boys are to lose, i’d much rather it be tonight so that I can lower my blood pressure this weekend.

• Froggiestyle Posted: May.30 at 10:27 am
  yeah yeah, bring back the thugs of old – mahorn, oak… who else is on your all thug list?

• DP Posted: May.30 at 10:29 am
  Kobe, you are so f*cking amazing I wrote you a love letter on my damn blog. no homo though.

• Bubba Chuck Posted: May.30 at 10:34 am
  I hope tha pistons/celtics kick they ass in tha finals!

• jdiddy Posted: May.30 at 10:35 am
  There is no way kobe will lose these finals, i cannot think of any other person in any other sport who can single handedly make the look that kobe makes when he wants something. Tiger, Federer these guys have such confidence about them, Kobe has a swagger thats just awesome. i believe cause kobe believes, Kobe wont let L.A. lose

• Sparker Posted: May.30 at 10:37 am
  phil jackson’s amazing. every year, people have been saying the spurs are old, but they never looked it until they met the lakers d

• Michael Posted: May.30 at 10:38 am
  I enjoy TADOne’s postings, actually rational.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:39 am
  There is no better high pressure athlete alive than Mr. Woods. To compare anyone to him is ridiculous. Seriously. Golf’s not basketball, for sure, but what Tiger does is off the charts.

• Sparker Posted: May.30 at 10:40 am
  so kobe didn’t want it against the suns last year? or the year before? like mj (though as in almost all things vs. mj, maybe a fraction less), kobe ALWAYS wants it. can we move on to other variables?

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:40 am
  I appreciate Michael. I took my meds this morning.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:41 am
  I appreciate “IT”

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 10:42 am
  I’ll be rooting for whoever come out of the East. Kobe is the best player in the world, I just cant stand Gasolhaving success while playing SO soft. I’d rather KG dominate Pau and get his 1st ring, although he’s harder to root for on this Celtics team than he had been in the past. I love the Pistons bench, but Chauncey doesn’t seem right yet. Either way, I’m basically rooting against the laker b/c of how annoying and classless the majority of Laker fans are (esp on this board) Congrats to the city of LA and the Lakeshow (and their true fans not the ones who just showed up once Bynum/Gasol changed the team)

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:43 am
  That’s pretty rugged, ciolkstar.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 10:43 am
  Also I don’t believe DP when he says “no homo”

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:46 am
  LOL!!!! Sorry DP.

• jdiddy Posted: May.30 at 10:46 am
  no way how can you say tiger handles pressure better, people are scared of tiger because of the stigma of the name “Tiger woods” its easier to defend what you got, im not trying to say what he does isnt impressive i dont want to bring him down at all, but how can you deny kobe he is a pure freak, some might call it arrogance but thats what separates him i put him above federer and Mr woods -> just my opinion

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:48 am
  Ciolkstar: Chauncey is fine. Did you see him lead the team in scoring last game? No excuses, his hamstring is fine. As for Gasol, I agree that he is soft most of the time, but he DID grab 19 rebounds last night. Pretty damn impressive.

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 10:48 am
  i want the Celtics to loose but they wont

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:48 am
  Oh, and did anyone mention the Duncan trip-dub? Too bad he didn’t get much help.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 10:50 am
  Tiger creates that aura by winning. I would say he is above Kobe and everyone else. Of course, you really cannot compare the two sports.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:51 am
  Kobe’s ridiculous, in a team sport. It’s harder to put that craziness to good use in a basketball format than a single player sport like golf or tennis. For the last 4 seasons all of Kobe’s “swagger” had gotten him what exactly, in team form? Just saying. It took a major move and the emergence of some role players to get his team straight. Tiger and Federer do that sh*t on the regular without any help from others. That’s pretty crazy.

• Myles Brown Posted: May.30 at 10:52 am
  ……..

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:55 am
  Congrats, Myles. They handled the Spurs like GOD and you talked about.

• jdiddy Posted: May.30 at 10:56 am
  good point, so in a game of a hypothetical sport, say darts, who do you choose Kobe or Tiger, Presuming they both are of the same ability. who’s will to win do you think is more?

• Gerard Himself Posted: May.30 at 10:56 am
  DP? Double Penetration? Sick bastard.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 10:58 am
  man f*ck yall! lol. f*ck yo hospital, Kobe Bean Bryant is the illest! I’m done with my laker love shout-outs today. I can barely talk after screaming at the t.v. for 30 minutes straight. ugh. So who is the better match-up for the Lakeshow? Pistons or Celts? I say Pistons.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 10:58 am
  jdiddy, I got Michael.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:00 am
  DeVontae Palmer for you chumps out there. Double Penetration? funny funny.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 11:01 am
  The 19 boards were HUGE, and offensive rebounding absoluely killed the Spurs over the last 2 games. Pau’s strongest move on offense is to just yell, pretend like he’s getting fouled and toss the ball up. Also, dude is pug fugly. I’m happy for Turiaf, Farmar, and Odom, even a little bit for Kobe b/c he just played so damn well. But i now hate Sasha forever and not just b/c of the final 3, did anyone see his “i’m about to cry/mad face” while holding his shoulder and running back up the court a few games back. Sasha and Pau are why this Laker team WON’t become the dynasty that so amny on this board feel is predestined. Bynum is for real thouggh. (as long as he makes a full recovery)

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:02 am
  Like Triple Ocho, my number is 55 in respect to whit hot eboy Jason Williams. damn why did I believe the hype in those youtube videos on White Chocolate? anyway since that is my number I would like to be called double-cinco from now on. I know that won’t happen I just wanted to clear the air. play wit it.

• jdiddy Posted: May.30 at 11:02 am
  Fair enough, i respect that to the extreme.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:02 am
  Kobe should retire and go play baseball…

• Michael Posted: May.30 at 11:04 am
  i dont think kobe or tiger could drink the requsuite number of pints to get through a darts game. one hundred and eigthy!! Its a british thing.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 11:04 am
  I like Double Penetration better for your name, DP. Thanks Gerard.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:07 am
  deadspin.com are a bunch of bastards. I have to be approved to say my comments? what the f*ck is up with that? hey why doesn’t slamonline at least have star commentors? I know everybody wants to know if they are a star here on this website.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:08 am
  @DP….your comments have to be approved because your comments freaking suck!

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:09 am
  ………………double-cinco b*tches! damn I’m mad that Reggie Miller has been in my head with that triple ocho sh*t since tuesday. but I like it though. and that is what f*cking irks the hell out of me. Double P maybe? f*ck paul pierce.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:11 am
  Who are you Rico? I’ve never heard of this guy…………

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 11:11 am
  Was that a direct quote from Kobe, DP?

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:12 am
  ………………

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:13 am
  DP, whats good people. Dont mind Rico, he’ll be kicked back to Puerto before you can say Mexico

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:14 am
  DP = Damm Personal

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:14 am
  Yeah Eboy, that what I was shooting at. I’m Kobe, Rico’s a annoying little Raja. Kobe smashes punks like that.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:14 am
  U forgot me,Eboy????????

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:16 am
  PP is in the building

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:17 am
  BET, wats good fam. Damm Personal? yeah, that sh*t has a good ring to me right now.

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 11:17 am
  PP, hello, whatever you are! Yes, congratulations to you too. It’s like a love fest. PP, who do you prefer your boys to face in the Finals?

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:17 am
  …or is that just the homeless guy who doesnt bathe?

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:19 am
  What the f*ck is slamonline going to do when the NBA finals conclude? Damn the only other major post you guys will have is the NBA draft. I hope yall got a few tricks up the sleeve. DOUG COLLINS!

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:19 am
  everthing i say after i drink a bottle of that children’s motron has a good ring to it.

• marcgar Posted: May.30 at 11:19 am
  sasha will get his payback next year the dudes a f*cking p*ssy. he thinks he’s way better then what he really is and he’s a soccer flopper the punk has no class shooting that three at the end of the game no real pro would do that, and gasol is weak and a p*ssy too. yelling every time he shot was annoying.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:19 am
  Celdicks..I know KG would eviscerate Gasol but yeah between but somethin about TAD’s boys just scares the fu{k outta me..

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:20 am
  Slamonline is like a cod0m, because it pretects me from the unwanted Reggie Miller and ESPN

• Eboy Posted: May.30 at 11:20 am
  That’s a lot of hate.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:20 am
  What up B??

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:20 am
  1000000000000000000000000000

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:21 am
  nothin, i am chillin so hard right now, i might have caught hypothermia. Seriously. FU(K EOCS!

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:21 am
  sip on some syrup, BET. your ring will be higher than the damn sears tower with some of that sh*t. Keeps me in a mellow mood when I’m bagging groceries at Kroger. tropical flavor rocks.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:22 am
  Besides u think KB would Ray-Ray get a chip???Get outta here..

• B. Long Posted: May.30 at 11:22 am
  @Eboy: The Celtics have struggled against the Hawks, Cavs, and this Piston series is gonna go to a game seven too, so what in the hell makes you think that the Celtics really have an edge over a team who came in first in the toughest reg. season conf. race ever, has only lost 3 total playoff games, and has also knocked off the defending champs in 5 games while staying undefeated at home? Crack is wack.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: May.30 at 11:22 am
  Please, let Kobe miss the last shot in game 7 vs. Celts, KG grab the rebound and do his Dikembe vs. Sonics impersonation, while Bird-town goes crazy celebrating no. 17. To see The Phony One come so close and then stumble at the finish-line would be the greatest satisfaction and ending to this fabolous season. With that said congrats Holly your boys played well.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:23 am
  I don’t why but I freakin hate Micheal Finley’s mickey mouse looking ass.

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:24 am
  bro you are baggin at Kroger!?. I am applying to do that, or Chicken Fill-a, or poppin poppin corn at the movies today.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:24 am
  Btw any new SwaggerJack posts up yet???

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:25 am
  i hate the Millwake Bucks except Rammon Sessions

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:25 am
  @BETCATS….you think you’re funny? At least I got heratige….cracker!

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:25 am
  and Micheal Redd

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:25 am
  @BETCATS….you think you’re funny? At least I got heratige….only a bigot cracker would make a lame @SS comment like yours!

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:26 am
  wrong race. But its okay, Uncle Rico. Snap.Craker.Pop.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:26 am
  What?? No love for Easy-Yi???

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:27 am
  yeah Kobe is a phony. BUT DAMN I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM OWN RAY RAY OR RIP. No Bruce Bowen! This is like a damn field day for Kobe now. hahahahahaha. I’m laughing straight to the bank with this. The Phony One? hmmm. nah. Triple Ocho will dominate and make all the haters want to jump off a damn bridge.

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:28 am
  and since you are the one who is most likely white as santa’s beard and you attacked my boy DP, and you are a new boy around here, i suggest you watch yourself (not to hard, i dont want your eyes fallin out from the ugly) because i am Mr.100 000 and this is my domain (name)

• Genenene Posted: May.30 at 11:28 am
  Lakers in 6 vs. whoever. If the Spurs can’t contain Kobe, nobody on the Celtics or Pistons will.

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:28 am
  Rip can defend, Ray Ray is too streaky to deciede on.

• BETCATS Posted: May.30 at 11:30 am
  1twenty

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:31 am
  BET, Kroger is a love-hate job. I love just sitting there and bagging groceries but when you live in Mississippi and it is hot as SATAN’S WOMB outside, pushing buggeys isn’t the most enjoyable profession. Rico, calm down man. It’s all love here if you got love. Lil John said it the best, “Don’t start no stuff won’t be no stuff!” be easy homie.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:32 am
  You’re right BETCATS….since you can see me there’s no use hiding the truth….I’m an albino Cuban… I’d blame you for this but something tells me it T-mac’s fault… Maybe you could teach me to act not so white when I write…you know, so I can rep my race properly.

• Genenene Posted: May.30 at 11:33 am
  Although, as everybody has been mentioning, KG scares me versus Pau Gasoft. With his ability, KG should be able to just DOMINATE games.. but he doesn’t. I don’t get it.

  EXACTLY, PP… Sometimes he looks like Dirk out there! And his jump shot is pretty good, but dude has to be more agressive toward the rim… Anyway, the only way I see the Celts winning over my Lakeshow is if KG goes 30+ a night.

• jbn74sb Posted: May.30 at 11:38 am
  Eboy – If you’re the Celtics, don’t you put Garnett on Odom and Perkins on Gasol? If I’m Doc, I’d much rather leave Odom with help from Garnett and leave Perk under the basket to do the one thing he is capable of, which is box out. The problem for the Celts is that they can’t guard Kobe. I’m not sure who I prefer to face – both teams present problems for the Lakers. The Pistons can put Prince on Kobe, and not really have to leave any of the shooters open, and the Lakers don’t really have anyone to guard Billups – Ariza and Sasha might do okay, but they won’t get any calls. And Kobe will have to chase Rip through all the screens on D. Boston is shallow in the backcourt, but they are big and deep up front. At this point, I am happy with the season. I am hoping that Bynum is pissed about being the forgotten man, and comes back ready to show Gasol how much of beast he is down low.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:38 am
  you cool marcgar. I didn’t even notice you were new because I’ve seen a couple of your posts on here. We can all get along, even though you are a spurs fan! It is like the other side of the pillow though, marcgar. Rico is still on my jackass side, though. anyway, back to basketball.

  I wonder who will thump their chest harder with their after winning the championship, Kobe or KG? assuming the celts are in of course (which they will be)

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:45 am
  I used to be all up in on wayne’s jock and I’m not going to lie about it. Yeah he is good, Rico but his sh*t is starting to dull me out now. He is not saying anything meanigful and really all his raps are just metaphors rhyming with no thought behind it. I’m not saying that is a bad thing because I still I like Lil Weezie, I’m just saying his tighest sh*t was with the Hot Boyz. Look for the song f*ck the world. He snapped on the Ghetto Rich remix with Rich Boy as well.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 11:46 am
  Man,KG’s one of the most talented low-post player ever..And for him to take contested 15-footers most of the time is just crazy..It’s like when Kobe first developed his range out to 3..He fell so in love with it that Phil had to remind him that the wet trey was an option to keep the defense honest,not his primary weapon like it is for Ray-Ray..

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: May.30 at 11:46 am
  Good for you Ciolkstar, keep doing your thing! Not to sound elitist, as I myself have done my fair share of sh!t jobs, but people (first world – Europe, US, people that is) being satisfied with wrapping food is just sorry. Give any guy from the 3 world half our chances and you’ll see em work like KG on D.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: May.30 at 11:51 am
  DP since I have a 10 year advantage on you I’m just wise like that.. I was leaning towards Doing Pau though – seeing as Pau in portuguese is slang for d!ck. Glad I got it right.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:52 am
  Why is everone trippin about the sheed-KG lovefest? I know most NBA players feel that you are supposed to show love to the opponent AFTER THE SERIES IS DONE but hell if that is what KG and Sheed do, leave them the f*ck alone. They just have true respect for one another and that is good sportsmanship. I don’t like Lidsney and Rip ripping Sheed for that.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:52 am
  Lil Wayne isn’t saying anything “meaningful”….have you not heard lollipop? That shiz is deep like mutumbos voice!

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 11:53 am
  KG will humiliate Pau and hopefully Pdouble and RayRay will do their job which is to score points esp from the perimeter while KG goes to work inside. Kg has shyed away from the Detroit bigs (who are tough and plentiful), but I think Pau will be a different story, Garnett will need to go right at him. KG has the will to domiante opponents , but does he have the persoanlity to dominate his teammates as well and take the game over offensively (ala Kobe)?

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:54 am
  I’m beyond my years as well LZizzle.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 11:56 am
  KG will eat Pau alive…..the only reason Pau poses a threat to anyone is because of Kobe.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:56 am
  Yeah, letting her lick the wrapper is real meaningful.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 11:56 am
  DP: Where do you get that Lindsey and Rip are down on Sheed for him and KG showing respect to each other?

• marcgar Posted: May.30 at 11:58 am
  thats what i was wondering too DP

• DP Posted: May.30 at 11:59 am
  Everybody know the obvious: Pau will be KG’s little b*tch. but it comes down to the rest of the matchups on the floor. I mean sheed will dominate Pau as well but it all comes down to the role players and who is going to stop Kobe Bryant. If DB-dirty bastard or Bowen cannot stop him, you guys tell me who will stop Kobe from winning again…………..anyone????????? quiet. just what I thought.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 11:59 am
  Also, i’m not quite sure where everyone is getting the idea that KG is shying away from the Detroit big men? Are ya’ll watching a different series then me? KG has been the most consistent Celtic in this series by far, and dropped 33 in game 5. Who cares if the bulk of his points have come from 18-foot jumpers? If that is what the Pistons D is giving you, then that is what you take. Trust me when I tell you that Detroit is taking away the block from KG and forcing him to shoot jumpers.

• Rico Posted: May.30 at 12:00 pm
  he got it from one of Jay-z’s meaningful tracks

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:01 pm
  Yeah, i thought DET “has each others back at all times, regardless of the situation” Maybe their just trying to motivate Sheed to do something other than fire 3s?

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 12:02 pm
  Tad u think TD had the block taken away from him during the 05 Finals?? Therein lies the diff between KG and TD..

• DP Posted: May.30 at 12:02 pm
  Maybe I was watching the conversation with Stephen A. smith and L.Hunter wrong on First Take, but what I meant by that is they are against it. I didn’t mean they were ripping sheed’s head off.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:03 pm
  KG is shying away from DET’s big men. How many time has he caught the ball in the high post with space and NOT EVEN LOOKED fOR HIS SHOT? He should be going hard to the rim.

• Silky Slim Posted: May.30 at 12:03 pm
  @Rico: Why do you think Gasol will be checking KG? Odom is going to check KG. Gasol may check KG, at times, but Odom will be checking KG. Of course, that’s assuming the Celtics can go through the Pistons.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 12:04 pm
  What I’m trying to say is the great ones force the defense to adjust to them,not vice versa..

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:07 pm
  Just B/c he’s hitting the 18 footer with great regularity doesn’t mean its to the C’s advantage. KG needs to work back to the basket and can’t pass out of wide open situations. I have been a huge KG fan since reading a slam profile on him over ten years ago, while he was still in high school. dude needs to impose his will Kobe-style, and has not done so in the fourth quarter of meaningful games this playoffs. Although, he has been the C’s most consistent offensive player/jumpshooter.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: May.30 at 12:07 pm
  TAD is right, Detroit’s team D on Garnett has been excellent and he’s still gets his no matter what, so who cares if he was shooting from halfcourt – sorry TAD still think Pistons will go out.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:08 pm
  Why do you use “check” in every sentence Silky Slim? Are you Doris Burke?

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:09 pm
  The difference between KG and TD is night and day. The only similiar thing is they both play the PF position. Duncan is the best at his position, ever. Duncan has WAY more post moves then KG has. KG is way more consistent with 18 foot jump shots and fade aways. Hence the reason KG may not take it down low as much. And just because you see KG passing it out doesn’t mean he isn’t making the correct basketball play. Even if Chauncey is on him because of a switch, maybe he didn’t get it in a position for a high-percentage shot. And guess what? If Chauncey is on him because of a switch, then there is another mismatch on the floor somewhere. Bottom line: KG is not the reason the Celtics lost games 2 and 4.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:10 pm
  “check” can be substituted for “Guard” or “match up with”, but mix it up a little. Besides , I feel like “Check” implies shutting someone down or atleast being very evenly matched.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 12:11 pm
  Doris Burke, I love her but she needs to stick to the WNBA. I’m sorry.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:11 pm
  PP: I understand exactly where you are coming from, but KG is just not that dude. A tiger can’t change his stripes just because his environment has changed. But again, it doesn’t mean he is making the wrong basketball play.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:12 pm
  I agree that KG is not the reason they lost 2 and 4. But he wil need to be the reason they win game 6 or 7 if they do.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 12:13 pm
  No way Tad..KG has TD beat in quickness and length and he can get his shot off in the block whenever he wants..And I don’t care how consistent he is with the J,if you are a ultra-skilled 7-footer use the J as a threat..Not as your frigging bread-and-butter..

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:14 pm
  I agree with a lot of what TAD has said. But I still feel that KG has been reluctant in a few situations and his J has been so accurate recently that its hard to criticize him for shooting it. But we just saw what happens when you depend on jumpshooting for so much of your offense in SA.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 12:16 pm
  I think it all comes down to how the PG play tonight guys. If Rondo outplays Billups, the Celts will win but if C-Billz is back on his Grizzy, it will be a long night for the celts. Also watch for the ray allen-rip matchup. Allen is getting caught behind too many screens and Rip is scoring at will. and will Allen go back to the shooting sleeve? I hope so.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:17 pm
  Will Rip’s elbow be ok tonight? I completely for got about him leaving the game…

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:17 pm
  PP: Of course KG has TD beat in speed and he has longer arms. Doesn’t mean he is more skilled, does it? TD is a clinic when he is down in the post against pretty much anyone in the league. KG, not so much.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:17 pm
  175!

• DP Posted: May.30 at 12:18 pm
  Rondo better learn to step his ass up and shoot the ball. If Chauncey was sitting in the crowd with the fans, his ass still wouldn’t take the shot.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:18 pm
  Rip is a game-time decision.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:19 pm
  TD’s footwork back to the basket or face up doen low is unmatched. KG can’t allow defenses to confine him to the 18 footer though. Even if he makes half of thgem it doesn’t bode well for the c’s.

• DP Posted: May.30 at 12:19 pm
  Rip will play.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:21 pm
  DP: I sincerly hope so.

• ciolkstar Posted: May.30 at 12:22 pm
  Thats huge TAD. and how bout sheed being one tech away from a suspension. If they’re about to win it in game 7, he should get on e on purpose and just take game 1 off. Also, i really really want to see Amir get some burn, and that’s pretty much his only chance. Maybe he could match up with Odom? Max and Amir in the frontcourt would be awesome.

• People's Princess Posted: May.30 at 12:22 pm
  True about TD..Timbot’s in the stratosphere of NBA low-post excellence fractionally behind the GM of the T-Wolves whom I am loathe to name,IMO..But I still maintain KG relies too much on his J and does not take advantage of his considerable lowpost skills..

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: May.30 at 12:24 pm
  PP, just because KG is more athlethic doesn’t mean he has TBot beat in length – Timmy is looong.. Compare their bpg stats.. Plus KG lacks upperbody strength (which TD has in abundance) this further complicates his postgame. Anyways no matter how much he cries about it and where Pop put him, Tim is more of a center in my opinion. After all ever since DRob retired (and at times when Nesterovic was in San An) he’s always played like their biggest guy on the floor for them – aka. he’s their center IMO.

• Silky Slim Posted: May.30 at 12:24 pm
  @coilkstar: When I use check I mean defend. Some words mean different meanings for different people.

• Silky Slim Posted: May.30 at 12:25 pm
  some words have different meanings for different people.

• sab Posted: May.30 at 12:28 pm
  so, congrats to LA, but as ciolkstar said above, i’m rooting for whoever comes out the East cos the Laker fans are crazy. they’ve won 23 of the last 47 western conference titles – all you who cry “conspiracy” about this, that and the third, look no further – there’s your damn conspiracy. it’s disgusting.
  anyway. what happened to ginobili? i know he had some injuries but damn, dude had a horrible series…

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:30 pm
  Yeah, Sheed will more than likely pick up his 7th unless it ends for the Pistons tonight. And yes, that is the only way Amir gets to take off his warmups. That, or if the Pistons blow the C’s out by 30, which is highly unprobable.

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 12:31 pm

  Manu devolved into Vinny Del Negro in thi series. Dude couldn’t catch a break though. Atleast 2 of his 3s last night were in and out. I feel bad for him just b/c i know how much of a competitor he is. He feels like he lost the seies for us (and he kind of did) The ankle is the reason, but excuses are like a$$holes…

• JR Posted: May.30 at 2:03 pm
  The conspiravy theories started by bloggers just are funny and need to stop already. Bottom line is the Lakers abd Celtics have proven both in the regular season and playoffs why each team is the # 1 seed in the east & west conferences. Nothing was handed to them at all.Both team each earned the # 1 seed and have proven why they are the best teams in the league. It’s funny how everyone complains how boring the Finals are when it was Spurs vs. Pistons 3 years ago, how nobody watched that Finals and it showed in the TV ratings.Now that we have a probably the best Finals matchup since the Michael Jordan led Bulls teams in the 90′S everyone outside of LA & Boston complain about conspiracy theories and the league being fixed. To quote Rodney King: “Can’t we all just get along”

• Z Posted: May.30 at 2:08 pm
  If I were a Lakers fan, I’d be extra worried about Vlad Rad on PP.

• Kadavour Posted: May.30 at 3:28 pm
  The Lakers match up nicely against Detroit. If Kobe’s proven anything these playoffs it’s that no single player can guard him (ask Bruce Bowen 1st Team All Defense). Lamar Odom has shown that when he’s determined he can take any player 6’10 and over off the dribble (even when they give him 3-4 feet of space). Chaunc’ won’t be bodying Fish as is his custom against smaller guards and Kobe’s had Rip on LOCK ever since he (Rip) thought he was the best highschool baller in PA.
  Look for a Trevor Ariza to give PP FITS on the defensive end, while Kobe will calmly contain Ray Allen. Boston’s success will rest solely on Garnett’s ability to consistently put up big numbers, the game he fails to come through big, the Celts lose against these Lakers. It’s a given that Kobe WILL get his against this Boston team even if they try to relegate him to a strict jumpshooting attack. He’s only been hitting 50% from the field these playoffs afterall.
  Lakers in 5 vs. either team.

• Permaculture Posted: May.30 at 3:36 pm
  Ciolkstar, i’m glad to hear you mention Manu. As a fan, his injury hurt because it robbed so much from this match up. This was the last time we will see this San Antonio team together. Sure they have old players and had their work cut out for them, but it reminded me of the Sixers team that made it to the finals and couldn’t perform. On a different note, I couldn’t quite get a bead on why Tony Parker didn’t slash through the paint against the Lakers as much as in his previous series: are the Lakers so superior defensively?

• TADOne Posted: May.30 at 4:32 pm
  Where are the Spurs going? It has always been Tim, Manu, and Tony with a bunch of fill-in parts anyway.

• bbfan Posted: May.30 at 4:36 pm
  The Lakers defense isn’t superior, but it is better than the Suns & Hornets.

• Spaceship Jay Posted: May.30 at 4:38 pm
  No they are not, but their triangle offense is a huge catalyst to their success. The Lakers have 8-12 guys that understand the plays, and their roles in each individual play. That makes them all look a lot better than they would individually.

• Chukaz Posted: May.30 at 5:06 pm
  We gonna win a sh*t load of championships over the next 6 years. Kobe is better than Jordan and the Lakers have the edge over any of the Eastern conference teams left.

• Permaculture Posted: May.30 at 5:08 pm
  http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio.htm gives the salaries of the Spurs. No, they aren’t going anywhere, TADone, those three will stay but just think of the tragedy of Horry not getting an 8th ring. Anyway, there’s at least 10 mill to play with in salary for the wannabe GMs on this site-I defer to many of the posters here on that front.

• Chukaz Posted: May.30 at 5:09 pm
  I can’t believe the Lakeshow got more experience than the other 2 team. Phil got 9 rings(10 finals apperances), Kob & Fish got 3 rings each(4 finals apperances a piece). That’s 15 rings combined. The C’s got 3 and the Pistons got 6.

• Chukaz Posted: May.30 at 5:11 pm
  I know that the last comments is kinda stupid (really stupid actually), but I’m tired of all the sh*t people say about the experience of the Pistons. 5 guys in the pistons roster were part of their 2k4 championship and their captain from back then is now dropping passes from Bron.

• Kieran Posted: May.30 at 5:13 pm

  I love KG, and Ray (circa-2001 Bucks). Would love to see them get rings. But if the Celts make the finals, Boston fans are in for at least one game when Pierce tries to prove he’s as good as Kobe. He did it with LeBron, but its not the same thing. P-Double will try to take over the series, and fall-short. The “Big 3″ are about to become an asterisk in Kobe’s ascent to legendary status. MVP, Finals MVP, Olympic Gold, in the same year! For KG, PP, and Ray-Ray, it’ll be just another feature article in Almost Magazine.
