Lakers beat Celtics to take Game 5. Post-game discussion here

[QUOTE=No.45]gasol = game mvp. Shear heart and massive rebounds, however still has those soft moments.[/QUOTE]

yea if u call over the backs massive rebounds, plenty of times gasol tried tipping rebounds over KG's back no fouls called ...also that steal kobe had on pierce was a foul..

LOL...people cryin about Kobe's subpar game....25 pts 7rebs 4ast 5stls on poor shooting...You think he he didn't play hard or something? lol. As if any of you guys could do better? As if any of you guys could even make it to the league? You think Bryant wants to shoot bad? Last time I checked Bryant was a pretty good f*cking basketball player. lol...you guys disgust me...He played well enough to win, and so did the Lakers, what else do people want? A perfect game? Never, not against this team at least. Go watch the Utah series if you wanna see Kobe get lay ups and free throws and shoot 50+ %

Don't let the win hide the fact that Kobe was missing in action after the first qtr.Dude was MIA:oldlol:

MVP's for Lakers were Derek Fisher and Odom IMO.The Fisher 3 ppt play when Rondo fouled him and that Odom 3 ptr were the backbreakers IMO.

[QUOTE=Lakers_Kobe_Fan]dude....you didnt even watch the game...what the hell do u know?? u were begging others for link online??

Yeah, my stream was choppy though, which is why I asked for different feeds. I saw the game.

"GTFO"

I think as the game progesses the Lakers will figure the Celtics because they can learn from the Celt's veterans and they got a little better in this game.

Still have the same mistakes at not guarding Pierce on his baseline side and force him to go middle. His go to move is going left and flopping for the foul. Kobe gave him room today so he couldn't do the same flop when he went left.

Lakers got better at guarding Ray. His sweet move is a fake right and one bounce three point to the left.

KG, force him to take the jump shot, if he misses it's a fast break.

Just my two cents.

Stream?? You have work on Sundays?

Pierce said that last play by Kobe was a good defensive move. He didn't say anything about foul.

He also said the game plan is to pack up on Kobe and force the other players to beat them. Not surprising if u don't see him scoring much.

his over the backs were fouls and they were called.

and what does kobe's steal have to do with my post?

how come the celtics arent bringing up that peirce took 19 shots and made 16?? please

15 of those 25 coming in the first quarter and like 6 of them in the final 3:00 of the game (4 FT's). So 4 points from the 12:00 mark of the second until 3:00 left in the 4th. So 4 points during the stretch where the game was actually being decided.

Like I said, he laid an egg.

just like every laker/laker fan sucked it up in game 1? oops i mean started to cry when the fouls in game 1 were sooo in favor of the celts?

how about vlad's travel on his dunk ...dude took so many steps he should of took the greyhound...

[QUOTE=Indian guy]Stream?? You have work on Sundays?[/QUOTE]

Yup.

[QUOTE=bleedinpurpleTwo]

if you dont recognize this, then you dont see why the Celts have been the best defensive team all season and the Lakers ranked 17th.[/QUOTE]

LA actually finished the regular season ranked 5th in points allowed per 100 possessions(best metric of a team's effectiveness defensively, IMO) and 6th best in opponents FG%. While PP's not quite facing the Celtics D, he's still going up against a darn good defense.
