alright

That was a great game...17 points behind and then they came back and WIN the game. Tsk Tsk. Lakers is HOT right now and Celtics (sorry Piston fans--I love Pistons too but I think Celtics should be in the final LOL) will have their work cut out for them in the Championship.

thank you for reminding me pop, i was just recovering from that fake win, hate the lakers celtics are going to sweep their ass, and i cant wait, or even if pistons do i dont care dont like either team, i think the celtics have a better chance of sweeping the lakers so i go for the celtics

Sadly I think the Celtics have no chance against the Lakers but I'd rather have them than Detriot in the finals.

Yay! Hell yeah! We are going to win the championship! Lakers vs Boston in the finals and lakers will win in 6 games!!

And that was an exciting game but also disappointing. I expected the lakers to come out very aggressive to make a statement to the world. But they came out so weak and none of them looked like they wanted to be there. But in the end, the better team won. I knew they would wake up eventually and knew they would win.

Kobe MVP!
Lakers 07-08 champions!

kobe mvp lmfao he is no real mvp he is a selfish peice of sh*t tim is the real mvp, crying and whinning to the refs, celtics will sweep them they are a strong team, oh and btw f*ck joey crawford

LOVE THE LAKERS!!!

So excited to see the Lakers back in the finals, I have been a fan my whole life! I too think the Celtics have NO chance. They got taken to 7 games by the Atlanta Hawks & the Cleveland Caveliers, neither of who are even in the same league as the Lakers...sorry Celtics fans...if you manage to beat the Pistons...you ain't beating the LakeShow.

pinkprinces1101, why do you hate the lakers?

There are so many laker haters and they have no reason to hate them. Are you just jealous because they are better than your team? What is there to hate? Your hate is irrational.

And hell no, Boston has NO chance at all. Boston could barely beat atlanta, how on earth are they going to beat the lakers? The Lakers would have swept atlanta.

Boston may have the "big three" but they DON'T have the Black Mamba (kobe bryant) and Phil Jackson (best coach ever). Also, lakers have the best bench in the NBA.

Lakers had the hardest matchup to make it to the finals and got through it all. They had to face denver in the FIRST round and SWEPT them (denver being much better than the hawks that the celtics needed 7 games to win), they beat Utah in 6 (Utah being MUCH better than cleveland who they needed 7 games to win), and san antonio in 5 (san antonio being the defending champions and better than a lazy detroit team who they may also need 7 games to beat).

Go Lakers!

Fromana...the reason pink princess hates the Lakers is the same reason most people hate the Yankees...b/c they are (historically) better than everyone. The Lakers have won 14 championships and appeared in 28, second only to the Celtics, so most people are just jealous.

Go Lake Show!!!

pinkprincess1101, do not even DARE talk about basketball if you're going to be speaking negatively about Kobe Bryant. NO real basketball lover and expert would bash Kobe Bryant because he is the best player in the league. If you think otherwise, you don't know anything about basketball. You're just mad because the Black Mamba will pull your team apart in the finals.

Kobe is the real MVP, get used it.

I find it hilarious when people start talking nonsense about players and think they are right. Oh please! Are you a basketball expert? So I guess you have more knowledge than all the experts who voted him for MVP, right? And you also have more knowledge than all the NBA analysts who are former players themselves right? LMAO.

Fromana, don't waste your time trying to dissuade the Kobe haters. The MVP voting this year wasn't even close and Tim Duncan wasn't even in the conversation for MVP. Don't waste your time talking to the haters...just enjoy that the Lakers are the best in the west again!

why are the spurs the better team

the spurs are the better team lets see 4 championships in 9 years they have been in the playoffs for the past ten years, the lakers are cry babies that look to the refs for fouls, the spurs came to terms that they wont call fouls so they play the game the way its supposed to be played, thats why they have the success they do, bowen is the best defensive player in the league tim is the best power forward to ever play the game, do you need more because i can go on and on

You are right ChiTownEm.

People can keep hating because Lakers are for real and they will be for the next few years. So all the haters are going to have to get used to the new lakers dynasty!

pinkprincess, you obviously don't know anything about basketball so be quiet already.
You're just a jealous hater because no real basketball fan would hate another player or team for no reason like you.

And if the spurs are the better team, why did the lakers eliminate them in 5 games? lmao, you really are ridiculous.

charles barkley jumped on the lakers wagon recently he was all about the spurs as was magic johnson, please everyone jumped on that wagon because thats the way it was supposed to play out stern wants the lakers and celtics thats all there is to it, sorry ladies i have to go to lunch so we shall finish when i get back

Ummm...Pink Princess. The Spurs have Manu Ginoble & Bruce Bowen, 2 of the dirtiest players and biggest floppers in the game, so give me a break. Last nights game, both teams went to the line 18 times...I would say the officiating was pretty fair.

Great teams never whine about the refs...because they don't need to.

but they also eliminated the best western conference team which was the hornets, so please sit down obviously you dont know what you are talking about btw i dont hate on kobe, im sure everyone was payed off, i will give kobe credit, hater i laugh at that word

Plus, I wouldn't call the Spurs a better team when they blew a 20 point lead in game 1 & a 17 point lead in game 5.

Pink, the Hornets were the 2nd place team in the West. And it took the Spurs 7 games to get rid of them.

i hope you have dvr to go back and see kobe whinning not only whinning but getting upset at the officials, manu is a different story, bowen a flopper lmfao

but they did right people were expecting the spurs to be swept

but they did right people were expecting the spurs to be swept

Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson didn't jump on any bandwagon. Do you even listen to what they say?

Charles Barkley said that the lakers wouldn't make it far this, but he said that AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON! NOBODY expected the lakers to make it far this season, not even me and i'm a huge fan.
How on earth would anyone have known that the bench would improve so much, Andrew Bynum would turn into one of the best young centers in the league, and that they would get Pau Gasol?

Of course people started to change their mind about the lakers once they saw that they have improved. I changed my mind too.

And regardless of what anybody said about the Lakers, All the analysts (including Charles Barkley) have ALWAYS said that Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league so get over it you hater.

hater please, grow up

First of all, all teams whine for calls, including the precious Spurs. So I am cracking up that you are suggesting the Lakers are the only team that argues calls. If you think the officiating was so bad, how do you explain them taking the exact same amount of free throws last night? For fouls totals, the Spurs had 21 and the Lakers had 19. That is almost identical.

Pink, why are you calling us haters? We are just talking.

I wouldn't say new orleans was the best team in the west. The Lakers are better and they finished number one, the hornets finished 2nd.

Also, New Orleans was young and inexperienced. They had never made the playoffs before so I knew they wouldn't make it far.

Stop it already. You ARE a hater. You said you don't hate kobe yet you were bashing him earlier (scroll up and read your comments in you forgot).

Spurs are not better. How on earth did the lakers beat them in 5 games if the spurs are better?
If it would have been a 7 game series, maybe I would believe you but it was only 5 games meaning the lakers beat them pretty easily.

Once again, you are ridiculous and you HAVE no argument.

And everyone knows Bruce Bowen is the dirtiest player in the league.

Ginobili is a confirmed flopper, so is Parker, imho. But in the Lakers game, they didn't flop as much as I expected. Eh.

I want Celtics to be on the Final although when I talk to my darlin' fiancee, he thinks Detroits may be a better 'fit' to go against the Lakers (based on individual players).
I love Garnett and his intensity as a player, the most consistent one so far in the Celtics. But yeah, if the other big 2 don't show up (Allen and Pierce), it's not going to happen. And don't get me started on Rondo. Someone should take him out of the game by the 4th quarter where he always made the MOST unwise decision. ARGH.

I think Lakers are awesome, they did what they had to do, and they had lots of calls against them yesterday although they played at home, and they still won. Although I think it's due time for Garnett and co. I think if I'm a betting man, I'd put mine on the Lakers.
(P.S. Lakers lost both games against the Celtics during the season, but we don't know what's going to happen during the Post-season: since so far I've not been too impressed == although I'm rooting for == with the Celtics).

BTW, I know about a million guys that would think it is super hot to have a bunch of girls arguing about sports on a blog. LOL.

Yay Lakers!

It was a good game.

#18 Was hot as sh*t. Im'a have to look that boy up

Saw Cameron on the sidelines. Cute

LMAO, Pinkprincess clearly doesn't know anything about basketball and has no real argument.

ChiTownEm, we throw facts at pinkprincess's way and she doesn't even respond to it because she knows we are right. She just comments back with complete B.S.

j2e1n9, you're talking about Sasha Vujacic, right? haha. I thought he was cute last year but I hate what he did to his hair this year. He looked better last season with the short hair.

Hope2be:

I think Lakers-Celtics would be cool to get that rivalry started back up again. I think your fiance is right though, Pistons would be a better match up, they are more experienced and have better role players. The one thing you can say about the post season is that the regular season goes out the window. The Lakers have had one of the more decisive playoff performances this year while the Celtics have struggled with below average teams, so you never know what is going to happen I guess.

You are so right Fromana. Facts have a tendency to get in the way of ridiculous arguments...LOL.

You think Sasha V is hot? LMBO...I don't really go for guys in headbands myself...

Cool, a lot of stars in the house. My brother and dad were seated courtside last night too. I was trying to find them in the pics. Ha!

I am googling pics of him right now! I know, I have weird tastes

I used to think Sasha was CUTE not hott last season but his hair is ridiculous now and it ruins his whole appearance. I prefer the black guys, anyway.

I think the finals will be interesting. I think the lakers will win the championship because we have the most complete team. We are strong at every position and have a great bench. Also, The lakers averaged 108 points per game in the regular season. We are a high scoring team but we also play defense. The celtics aren't a very high scoring team so I think they'll have a little trouble keeping up with us regardless of how good their defense will be.
And the lakers are younger and fresher.

But I have respect for the Celtice. I hate how people like pinkprincess hate teams and players for no reason. You have to give credit where credit is due.
Boston is a great team and I absolutely adore Kevin Garnett but I simply think the lakers a little better and of course I am rooting for them because they are my favorite team.

Maybe I would respect pinkprincess more if she had a real argument, but she doesn't. You can't go off making silly comments about teams and players without backing up it up with facts. The things pinkprincess said are just her opinions that mean nothing because they are silly and immature. She clearly has no reason to hate the lakers and kobe bryant.

But whatever, people can say whatever they want. You don't like the lakers and kobe? Good for you! The real basketball lovers and experts do and acknowledge the fact that Kobe is the best and that the Lakers are one of the best teams in the league. If you can't agree with the expert analysts about the lakers and kobe, it means you are just jealous and in denial and that's a fact.

That's fantastic! All thanks to Pau Gasol, of course! (kidding, kidding). I hope they win the ring this year. Good luck!

(ps: ignore Pink, she behaves like a regular troll with no arguments at all or sense of grammar).
