hey who was the fat guy in the larry bird costume?
I loved that KG was absolutely out of his mind at the end of the game. When he says he may not sleep for months, I tend to believe him. My favorite line was "I'm certified! I'M CERTIFIED!"

Fuck the Celtics.
[Counselor Troi]I sense anger, Captain.[/Counselor Troi]
In Boston that is known as Ray Bourque syndrome.as a Minnesota native, I am beyond thrilled that Kevin finally won a championship. He was our star for 12 years and, naturally, is truly missed around MN. Of course I'm a little annoyed that this win comes with another team and not with the Timberwolves but that's another story! Congrats Kevin!
It appears any beer launched at him would end up in his stomach.They should have had a Pistons fan launch a beer at him.
Those commercials were quite disturbing on both sides.thankfully we never got to see what he looked like in the jersey during that commerical with magic.
i agree and disagree at the same time... if you gave each player on each team a video game rating and added them all up, there really wouldn't be much difference between the two teams. but for the celtics the whole was bigger than the sum of it's parts. the same can certainly not be said for the lakers.
synergy, it is a wonderful thing.
A few things, if I may.
First, there are millions of Celtics bandwagons out there......fuck all of them. You know who you are.
Second, there are millions of Laker fans that are jumping of the bandwagon.....fuck you as well. especially you.
I wore my Laker jersey today and I saw many true Laker fans out there in Laughlin and here in California on the way back wearing them as well. To those people, I salute you.
Am I dissapointed they lost, of course.
Are they coming back next year stronger with Bynum? You better fucking believe it.
congrats to KG and RA....PP can kiss my ass, that crying mf'r.
*damn, I sound mad*
Laker for life.
So is that on Phil or Kobe? I tend to lean toward Phil...there was a definite effort disparity there, and you'd expect a "great" coach to be able to get max effort out of a largely young team. But Phil has generally done better with stars and vets so maybe that's the problem. Not sure, but I'd have to say that Doc clearly outcoached Phil in this series, and if you told me that going in I'd have been shocked.
Oh and to be fair since I've been killing the Lakers' work during this series I have to say Jordan Farmar really went after it pretty much full time. And Kobe; I don't think Kobe was dogging it at all...but the rest of them? I half expected Kobe to punch Gasol right in the mouth, the way he played.
congrats to KG and RA....PP can kiss my ass, that crying mf'r.
i think it has more to do with KG's influence than anything. Garnett brought his teammates together and truely made them believe in sacraficing for the greater good, and i'm not just talking about the above-average sized three.
Doc obviously did a good job and a better job than Big Chief Triangle did, but no matter what your motivational abilities are as a coach, if you don't get your big gun to buy in, you're not going to succeed.
I'm not sold that the Lakers will be better next year.
a) who knows what Bynum will be like after the injury,
b) Bynum has only played like, eh, 30 good games in his entire career... it's not like we're talking about Moses Malone here. He showed some serious flashes before the injury but he has to show it a little more still. at this time last year Laker fans all wanted him traded for Jason Kidd or some other vet as a way to apease Kobe... now he's a saviour? Maybe, maybe not.
c) i have no reason to believe that the team's obvious chemestry issues (coughkobecough) will be solved between now and then.
d) the hornets will be better, the jazz will be better, the spurs will likely retool, and then you have a team like portland, who just barely missed the playoffs (and would have made the playoffs in the east), are extremely young and primed for a break out season the same way the hornets did this year... and they're adding in Oden, for whatever that's worth.
I think that what the "whatever that's worth" comment was about. He certainly is not goint to hurt that team. We saw in college that he definetly has alot of game. If he comes back from the surgery alright, he should be a great player in this league.
"For whatever that's worth" is not a qualifier for Oden's injury/lack of experience. It's a way of saying "I'm tossing this info out there, who knows what it might mean to you". I am reasonably competent with our language, thanks.
I'm just saying that he has just as many "if's" as Bynum does, so to look at Oden as a positive but not look at Bynum as a positive does not register with me. For whatever that's worth to you.
i'm not saing bynum won't help, i'm just saying it's a little premature to say that because bynum will (maybe) be healthy next year that the Lakers are mortal locks to return to the finals, as many both here and in the media seem to be suggesting.
my mention of greg oden was a throw away... nobody knows for sure what he'll be, but Portland has a very bright future with or without him. if he can be an all star caliber player portland could very well leap frog the Lakers next year, IMO. not to mention that the hornets and jazz could very well pass the lakers as well, especially if they add a piece or two.
that said, i was never that big on oden to begin with... and that was before the injury.
Btw, I might be going to Boston in November again, and I will post a picture wearing it.
Mark my words.
