did you see game 4 vs phi lebron had it and choke once again

[sharkman121]

^^^agreeed...thats why miami will deal with boston...lolz

but miami seeded higher than boston

[casper]

LAKERS FOR LIFE BICH!!!!

mia will take down lakers easy if there ever get pass bos which i doubt

[sharkman121]

Lakers fold too easy if Kobe has an off game.

[casper]

^^^u have doubts of miami beating boston when lakers beat boston for d title 2 years straight but u sayin miami go beat lakers???

u confusing urself man greddy...u see what lack of PSN does do???

[sharkman121]

Lakers did beat boston in 2 playoff finals, but boston also beat them too in between.

The point is, you can throw out whatever happened before, each playoff stands on its own account. What happened before wont carry any weight now.

daz true...no team likes to see their captain go down....same happened to chicago too when rose pulled his hamstring...

felt sorry for artest in that game 4 though...man was playin he heart out jred...

[sharkman121]

Right so if Rondo has an off game, u think boston gonna fold? If garnett folds, if paul pierce folds, if ray allen folds... we have players that can pick up the slack if one even two is having an off night.

not necessarily true...cuz it plays a psychological role in how confident a team feels playing against a rival they have a poor track record against...

jes like how ppl was feelin like they cudnt beat lakers @ home cuz last year they were undefeated @ staples center during the playoffs....

[sharkman121]

Psychological roles only affect young and inexperienced sides who cant put that mental block of previous encounters past them. Experienced veterans in all sporting genres know how to do this effectively so it wont affect them. Its mental strength

[sharkman121]

an even though lakers have won twice in a row, i seriously think they fear boston more than boston fear them.

[jusme]

now reach home and saw the highlights of the spurs game. damn them grizzlies hungry

[casper]

u comparing an all star team (ie boston) with a side that has 1 true all star..(ie lakers)

watch the roster...celtics have...garnett, rondo, shaq, pierce, allen, robinson, babyface, and a few others...dem have big players on their bench and all

lakers have kobe...gasol's game is not consistant...artest ok but very inconsistant too...fisher is hit or miss...odom does rel pull stones some times...shanon brown IMO have the most potential in that side after kobe...they shudda never let go vujacic as well..dey lossed a excellent sharp shooter...dunno wtf phil jackson was thinking their nah

[casper]

an even though lakers have won twice in a row, i seriously think they fear boston more than boston fear them.

i hadda agree with u here...they know they'r outnumbered where talent and skill is involved...i think the fear that boston has for the lakers isnt really the team...but the coach...u facing the most succesful coach ever in the history of NBA...Doc Rivers does musbe b rell intimidated about that...

team for team...they dont fear the lakers

[GReddy23]

^^^u have doubts of miami beating boston when lakers beat boston for d title 2 years straight but u sayin miami go beat lakers???

u confusing urself man greddy...u see what lack of PSN does do???

mia is my team but u really think because lal beat them[bos] thats going to make it easy for mia
boston is a legit threat in the east, it will be a best series to watch

[casper]

^^^i actually lookin forward to that series more than the finals...lolz

[sharkman121]

x 2, could swing either way.

[casper]

somehow i think boston will still beat miami...mainly cuz of the fact that they have more playoff experience

[Morpheus]

My goodness. Grizzlies handed it to the Spurs....
