RyanB06 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 We should take a cue from WFAN's Steve Somers and refer to the Lakers as the "Hollywood Fakers" for the balance of this thread...because that's exactly what they are (at least on this night!)

Island_Style Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yaaaaaawn. What a boring and crappy finals. I also think the tide is turning. The East will be a lot better in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Does Art Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Does the NBA award a MVP type award for the playoffs? Similar to the Conn Smythe? Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 There's a Finals MVP. I don't think there's another all-encompassing award.

FiddySicks Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So what was worse, Boston's showboating at the end, or LA's total and absolute lack of pride? I say they counter each other to a balance.

Squeaks4 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So what was worse, Boston's showboating at the end, or LA's total and absolute lack of pride? I say they counter each other to a balance.I was thinking the same thing. When I saw that alley-oop and saw the reaction from Phil Jackson's I wasn't sure if he was pissed off at the Celtics rubbing it in his face or his players standing around letting it all happen.And I know he is just ecstatic and with good reason, but to me Keven Garnet is making a fool out of himself right down during this post-game interview. (and I personally really like KG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So what was worse, Boston's showboating at the end, or LA's total and absolute lack of pride? I say they counter each other to a balance.Eh, I could've told you beforehand that Boston would showboat after they damn near had a championship celebration after they beat the Hawks. Especially when KG put on that late elbow on Zaza Pachulia. So yeah, no surprise there.I am surprised at how LA went out. It's like they just quit after they realized they were down big. But I will give the Lakers this: NOBODY had the Lakers going this far, especially when Kobe was crying about a trade during the preseason. The fact that they made it this far (Gasol trade notwithstanding) is sort of a minor miracle.You could say the same about the worst-to-first Celtics, but we're talking about two entirely different teams there.

Squeaks4 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Showboating? That wasn't showboating...it was running out the clock. Happens in the NFL all the time.They were shooting the ball with 20 seconds on the shot-clock left. Not to mention continuing to throw up threes and alley-oops like it was a street ball game.

Brass Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Error Stuart Scott.DO NOT refer to the TD Banknorth Garden as the new Boston Garden. It will not be and never will be.

It's not like they would have even been on the floor if the game was close. Now they can say they scored points, dunked, etc. in the clincher. I don't think it was any big deal. Helluva season for The Celtics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Doc can barely speak right now, he's so choked up.MVP is Paul Pierce.

Happens in the NFL all the time.They gave Doc Rivers a gatorade bath with like two minutes left on the clock. That was DEFINITELY showboating. But considering the Lakers bent over and took it like an underpaid hooker, it was completely justified on Boston's part.

PeytonManningRocks Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Man I would've been happier if the Lakers went 0-82 than to see them lose the finals to Boston. There is nothing worse than seeing Boston fans have MORE reason to gloat (especially after 16-0).And we didn't even bother showing up this series so we deserve our mockery I guess.
