What's the purpose of that list of PGs, Proggyman? Are you saying they're all traditional ball distributors because I'd question a few, if so.

ProggyMan · 02-14-2010, 02:02 PM

Yeh, pretty much everyone on the list besides Parker I would consider a traditional 1.

Anyone been watching the finals?
I dont follow Bball too much, but my good buddy is a Laker fan, and I watch alot of games at his house and they have grown on me a bit. Likewise, I naturally cannot stand any Boston sports teams, so it works out well. I feel game 2 had alot of poor calls at the end for LA, which had poor results.

i think the game overall was called poorly. i don't like how they are rotating in new refs for each game as g2 had all different as opposed to g1. and i hate it how the lakers' guards off the bench rarely ever get our bigs involved.

No boston team huh?

Well i've got sour news for you....

I caught most of that game last night. Ray Allen might count as a flammable liquid in 32 states after last night.

I hate to complain about the officials but David...I doubt Ray Allen does that again, I also don't think Rondo consistently takes over at the end of games like that or that the Celtics contain Kobe the that extent again. So we'll just have to see. Boston is awful at home.

Ray Allen is such a talented shooter, he could easily mount a similar performance by the end of the series.

Way I see it, Boston got 1 in LA, the "hardest" place to play and the place that seems to always see the worst officiating in sports. All Boston has to do is win out at home, which isn't necessarily easy, but it lightens the load a bit.

I hate to see LA win again, but they are the more talented team. Boston has them in the chemistry department, but LA is bigger, more experienced, and faster. But Boston's ability to rotate bench players and play defense has given them enough to have a shot at winning the thing.

I pick Boston in 7.

L.A. went 5/23 from 3, Boston was 11/16. L.A. still controlled the paint, with 14 blocks to Boston's 3, the rebounding difference was a product of Bynum and Odom's foul trouble and Rondo leading his team in rebounding. If the 3's don't fall at the rate they did last night then Boston will have to hope the Lakers stay saddled with the ridiculous amount of foul trouble they had. I would remind you that Boston is terrible at home, I'd expect the Lakers to grab at least a game and have a 50/50 shot at grabbing two.

They might have been all season, but the Lakers are amazing at home and they got clobbers in the second half of that game. What you saw in Game 2 was a fire under the ass.

The Celtics now have the momentum.

Yeah he was hot, too bad it was short lived. Boston might have a chance if everyone decides to show up.
