Lakers vs Celtics
« on: June 05, 2008, 11:28:19 PM »
Anyone watching this?

I just watched game 1.  This series looks good, very evenly matched player lineup.

I'm going for Celtics because Vegas odds say that if I bet $500 i have the potential to win $1,000 :devil

I don't watch bouncy-bounce


2-1 only? not a great bet IMHO 5-1 maybe worth $500

I don't watch the NBA anymore but this is the series that I remember when it was Bird, McHale, Parrish, Ainge, et al versus Magic, Kareem, Byron Scott, KURT "SUPERMAN" RAMBIS and company.

BTW Rambis was my favorite Laker when I pulled for them way back in the old days.

Other than when Houston won championships back in '94 & '95, I can't say I've ever watched a game of basketball on tv.

Lakers shot the ball poorly in the 3rd and defense took a nap. I still think the LA has a better team and should win the series.

Love the old "beat LA" chant shaking the Garden like the old days.

My coworker is a huge Lakers fan.  He adores Kobe one minutes, laments him the next.  I could care less who wins, just watching his mental anguish is entertaining enough!

Lakers got outrebounded, out hustled and out done in 2nd half!  It was 6ft D. Fisher who is doing most of the rebounds for the Lakers lol.

This series is going to be Celtic's defense vs Laker's offense.  Unlike other defensive teams, Celtics team can score 100+ point just like the Lakers.

It could be all over Sunday!

I'd honestly like to see it last a few more games tho, these have been great to watch

It's over by Father's day

If the Lakers manage to tie the series 3-3 then I will suspect that the referees are scripting the game :t

Strangely, I feel the same way about soccer.

The 90s era with M. Jordan was good times.
