June 18, 200818 yr The Celtics are better than the Lakers....that goes without question. If I were a Lakers fan, better yet a Kobe fan, I would be extremely displeased with Kobe and his lack of leadership skills, AND Phil getting out coached by a Finals rookie. None of that mattered they were just out played and noting more. It wasn't because of Kobe "leadership" and Phil didn't get out coached. They are terrible on D and have been all year. They thought they could out score everyone but Defense wins Championships.
June 18, 200818 yr Wow, Pierce just poured red Gatorade all over the court with 30 seconds left. Hope no one slips. :lol:
June 18, 200818 yr Gatorade bath? We don't do that in the NBA, Paul. Someone could get hurt. Or at very least have a sticky floor.

I want you to read every article over the next week or so, they will almost all mirror my sentiment. Phil tried all kinds of crazy lineups at odd times, and it backfired. Had they worked he would be genius (though I still feel he is).....Kobe simply disappears way to often to be considered one of the greatest....he's not even the best Laker to lace'em up. I understand you being defensive about them, I would be as well. I am calling a spade a spade here.
