Boston Celtics NBA Finals Thread

[Kontradiction]

So damn tired of Ron Artest. If the Celts don't stop taking dumb shots, they're going to let the Lakers right back into this. Rebounding, as usual, is terrible.

Another offensive rebound. FFS Celtics. Come on guys.

We've just played the Lakers back into this. Far out.

This fourth quarter is going to be competitive, to say the least.

+1 Great Game regardless of who your rooting for

Well, the Lakers ended up shaving 2 points off the half-time lead.

This is it. One more quarter with 4 points in our pocket. Let's finish this.

my heart cant take this...and im getting buzzed.

Ray Allen has been outstanding defensively and absolutely horrible offensively. Sheed really coming up huge filling in for Perk.

Come on fellas, we need to have the best quarter of our season right here! Push the ball and they cannot stop us. Pressure them and i bet they quit!

COME ON CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ausbacker]

Well here we go. 12 mins to determine our season.

 

[ausbacker]

Why are all the fouls being called on the Celtics now? What ******* universe do these refs live in? Now they call a softie on Vujacic?

Just let them play.

Pierce needs to stop calling for the ball unless he's in a pick and roll situation. Artest is all over him.

EDIT: And he just proved my point. Forced up an absolutely ******ed shot trying to draw the foul.

Celtics are being unbelievably stupid with the ball. Near perfect on the defensive end, completely dumb on the offensive.

59-55 with 9 minutes left in the game ... that is unreal.


The lowest scoring NBA game since the inception of the shot-clock occured in 1955,

with Boston beating Milwaukee 62:57 - 119 points combined.

 

[Disco Volante]

First commercial break and our 4 point lead remains, excellent.

Kobe thrown under the bus by Phil before the quarter, he's living up to Phil's comments still.

 

[PaPZ187]

59-55 with 9 minutes left in the game ... that is unreal.

prob lowest scoring game 7 of finals in shot clock era, possibly ever!

 

[IcyPatriot]

Bryant three free throws. What the hell was Allen doing attempting an arm bar there?

 

[Kontradiction]

Can someone explain to me why it's a foul on the Celtics when Ron Artest throws his shoulder into somebody and then attempts a shot? What a piss poor call.

 

[ausbacker]

Oh you are kidding. How is that a foul on Rasheed. Seriously. ******* cheats.

Come on Celtics.

 

[Kontradiction]

Good. **** you, Gasol!

 

[ausbacker]

This officiating is downright embarrassing. David Stern should be shot.

 

[Kontradiction]

Wow. I have to say that, from beginning to end, this is one of the best basketball games I have ever seen.

And how the hell was that a foul on the Celtics again?
