June 10, 200818 yr If Odom don't produce any more than he has been, the Lakers will lose again. I'm guessing the free throw shooting (38-10 advantage Boston in Game 2) will be better for the Lakers tonight.
June 10, 200818 yr Lakers are a 9 pt favorite. Very odd, coming off two straight losses. It looks kind of like the boys in Vegas are begging people to take the 9 points.
June 10, 200818 yr Celtics in another close one. Anyone know who Phil was calling out about their play thus far in the finals. I seen in on ESPN but didn't get to see who he was talking about.
June 10, 200818 yr Celtics in another close one. Anyone know who Phil was calling out about their play thus far in the finals. I seen in on ESPN but didn't get to see who he was talking about. Odom. "Lamar got confused out there,'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said after Boston had taken a 2-0 series lead. "Situations that got him into foul trouble and little offensive sequences -- rather than just taking a shot or making the right play, [he] looked like a confused player out there at times. We'll try and get that straightened out.''
June 10, 200818 yr ^ Thanks.. I know the Lakers will come out hard and fast tonight. they are too good of a team not to be competitive in this Finals. I think Boston will stay right with them tonight. Key factors that will determine the winner: -Foul differential -Turnovers
June 10, 200818 yr Lakers lakers lakers. I hope I'm wrong b/c I'm pulling for the C's. Got them at a very good price before the series.
June 10, 200818 yr BTW, as Mike & Mike said, Phil knew exactly how to pronounce Powe's last name but chose not to.
June 10, 200818 yr I think the Lakers pull this one out and feed off having a very good home crowd and the refereeing will be more in their favor. I do like the Celtics for the series though. I believe the Celtics have a better bench, particularly on the interior. I would take Brown and Powe over Turiaf and I guess Walton any day.
June 10, 200818 yr No way the NBA lets the Lakers go down 0-3. Lakers will win. Yep, good point. Besides, it's all about the $$$$. This is a business baby
June 10, 200818 yr Celtics have beaten the Lakers 4 in a row so far this season. I don't see them making it 5 in a row and L.A losing this one at home. I think they come out with a lot more intensity and defend their home court. Let's not forget Dallas did this to Miami 2 years ago and Miami went on to win 4 straight and take home the title. Lakers only lost by 6 in game two and that with a 28 foul shot differential.
June 11, 200818 yr Kobe's gonna HAVE to hit more shots tonight than he has been. He's 20-of-49 through the past 2 games. If the Lakers are to win, it will be because Lamar decided to show up down low & Kobe actually hit some shots. Go Lakers!
