LAKERS (REFS ARE IN THE POCKET) CELTICS WINNING STREAK END ON A SOUR NOTE=CHEATED (92-83)
REFS IN L.A GAVE CELTIC FANS VERY LITTLE TO CHEER FOR. BECAUSE THEY CALLED THAT GAME F**KED UP. BOSTON COULDN'T GET A CALL AT ALL, EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR THERE WAS A FOUL ON THE LAKERS! HOW DISRESPECTFUL IS THAT TO 2 CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS( WHEN IT'S CLEAR) YOU ROBBED A GOOD TEAM OUT OF A WIN. IT STILL DOSEN'T PROVE THE LAKERS ARE BETTER THAN THE CELTICS (CAUSE THEIR NOT)

Im laughing because It makes me feel better with this loss, even with the refs kinda giving the Lakes more calls, the C's didnt really show up AS much as I thot they would have. Everyone seemed rly dead, and lack luster.
This loss will help us get back into focus on what we need to improve on. The things we are missing, and the things we need to fix.
The fans, now are riduculous, making this win as if they won title 15. Its only a game in december. And its a win AT HOME.
Im just angry with the loss, bcuz now, I can just expect the WHOLE WORLD saying, "Oh the Lakers are def Champions of 2009". I can already see what L.A Times will have on their newspaper and the Lakes being crowned champs already...
I dont care that our strk was broken, bcuz the strk is not what we win our championships for. What good would it be to have a 50 gm strk, and lose in the playoffs? None! So this strk I didnt care about. Yes it was impressive, but Its not like they were going to win a trophy for havine a 19 gm winning strk.
On the other hand, the Lakers are truly going to get a trohpy from ESPN and the rest of the world, for FINALLY beating the Celtics. Its like the little brother who was never able to beat his big brother, and he finally can, and ends up getting a candy bar from his mom. Thats how I see it.
This is just the 3rd loss. We are still on a fast pace to doing perfectly well, with the need of some acquiring of PJ, Mutombo or Smith, or someone to help our lacking bench which sucks so bad. That is where we need to improve, THE BENCH.
And Orions ur right. As long as I dont see this kind of officiating in June, Im fine. Seeing it in december, a reg season game isnt anything to get me that mad.
My last point b4 I go. I had to watch the game in mute, bcuz I cant stand Jeff Van Gundy or when the Celtics games are on abc/ESPN.. even TNT is ok with me. But those bias commentators are horrible. One point in the game b4 I vouched to put the tv on mute, said, "the Celtics dont even go to the paint often, they need to start with that, if they think they can beat the Lakers". This comment was so stupid bcuz the Celtics actually went to the paint waaay more often than the Lakers b4 halftime. I remember it was something like 30 paint pts to like 10 pts.
Oh yea and (for real now), lastly, it has to show something that the Celtics played one of their worst games and the Lakers played one of their best games, and we still were able to stay within winning the game.

Result:
Lakers win a hard fought, well-played even-sided game by a healthy margin (shorthanded without Farmar nonetheless). Of course, all of a sudden, it was the refs and the game DIDN'T.
1) Stop being hypocrites... This game mattered just as much for both teams. No Qeustions asked, no B.S.
2) The celtics, plain and simple didn't go to the hole as much (within the paint, that is). People love to talk **** based on heresay and inclings.
Look at the shot chart and box score, people. Both the celtics and lakers had 11 shots in the painted area. But factor in how many times lakers went to the line-8 times, celtics-4 times (going to the free throw line does not count as a shot attempt in the box score) Hence: Lakers shoot 19 times in the paint, Celtics shoot 15 times in the paint. Reason why they get more foul calls, duh. Stop being morons and open your blind eyes, dumbasses.
4Q analysis: Lakers shoot in the paint 6 times (go to the line 2 times).
Celtics only in the paint 2 times (never go to the free throw line).
Hence dumbasses, you go to the free throw line more after shooting in the paint, Lakers did that more, hence they go to the line more and win the game. End of story.
I ain't saying anything about who's better cause Cetics are definitely, just stop being a biased dumbass fan and do some research you morons!

Paul Pierce hacking Gasol. Those plays are all over the place, and Ariza was not OB you morons.
My point stands, sofap and and cole_ely you didn't give me a concrete argument.
Fact: Lakers are top 5 in steals and that showed yesterday, when they clogged up numerous passing lanes (although C's had more steals).
Also plain and simple, Lakers drove to the hoop more than your beloved "C's".
Celtics played damn well my friends, better shooting percentage than Lakers, also more rebounds and steals. It was all about clogging the passing lanes and Lakers driving to the hoop more (the nine times Lakers stuffed the C's didn't hurt either :) ). Finally Lakers had 27 assists, which also helps you get to the line (4+ players had 5 or more, hence they were passing more than the C's).
Extra pass ussually leads to defense on their heels (C's) and a hasty foul by the defense. I wish you people knew what you were talking about... I'm tired of giving basketball lessons.

Celtics stioo have a few bugs to work ouot, Rajon needs to shoot when under the basket, then they will respect when he is under there, then he needs to hit a few outside , then they will be really repect him more. Great kid growing up fast.
I do know if it was me, but it seemsed Celts got a little rattled and lost thier way , admit it or not the streaak and record was on thier mind.

How do those words taste? haha. Face the music Boston ain't all that. Shallow bench, old slow players, I could go on. And saying they were better because they're record was better was not a good argument. They are on the Least coast. It hard to have the best record out in the west where theres more than 3 good teams. Check the standings guy, most teams out here have more 20 wins unlike the east.
How dare you even complain about the refs when the first 2 games of the finals last year were won by the refs not the celtics. That series would probably have been a completely different story if the lakers didn't get screwed by the refs at home.
Maybe you don't watch the nba or can't afford cable but the lakers seemingly get screwed by the refs every game, but they still win most of the time unlike your little wheel chair needing, flopping boston wusses
I have no respect for paul pierce's flopping all over the place. Garnet is the only man on that team, and even he is someones bitch. So go beg the refs to let your team win the next game on the 5th. The Lakers of course play their second of a back to back that night so will that help stop your tears.
LA LAKERS 2009 NBA CHAMPIONS- Just wait if you doubt.
