Celtics lose, Lakers are NBA champions
Fuck. I’m sick to my stomach right now. The Celtics had this game in hand. They were pulling away in the third quarter, and then…The Celtics spent 23 games trying to tell us the regular season doesn’t matter, but don’t tell me that shit anymore. If the Celtics had homecourt in this Game 7, the Lakers fold when the C’s make that third-quarter run. But we’re in LA, and the Lakers didn’t fold. And now they’re NBA fucking champions.
Excuse me while I go light myself on fire and cry my burning ass to sleep for the next four months.

I have to agree. Even though the Celtics are road warriors, I definitely know that if we had home court advantage, the results would be completely different.
It sucks.

As a Laker fan to the bone I have to send out some mad respect to Boston. As corny and useless as it sounds the Celtics are no less Champs than the Lakers. They had us for 42 minutes last night. A bucket here or a call there and the big three would be hoisting up #2 wihtout a doubt.
You guys should not feel an ounce of shame or loathing. Noone gave you guys a chance. Hell i thought you guys were a one and done team and had Orlando taking you in 6, but man you proved me dead wrong.
Let’s hope Danny can work some magic and keep you guys in the thick of things for next year.

Thanks for the kind wishes. Personally, I hope Kobe breaks a leg or two. Just kidding. Celtics-Lakers is how it should be.

Sorry to bust your bubble excuse but you forget it’s 2-3-2. If Boston had home court advantage, the 3 middle games would have been in LA. Lakers would have won 4-1.

Hi Jay. Yes, I am sick too. I am a Boston Celtic fan and was so upset since Boston outplayed the Lakers for 3 and a half quarters. I usually don’t like to complain about refs but in this case it seemed like the refs definately wanted Lakers to win. 21 fourth quarter free throws? That is ridiculous. Kobe charged into Garnett when Garnett was set and gets 2 cheap free throws to take the game from 13 up to only 11 up and that was the start of the momentum and bad calls. Why wasn’t there a review when Gasol went up and down? It was 74-70 at that point and that was crucial. That basket should have been waved off.
I think the NBA should be like the NFL in there should be challenges allowed. Like each team gets 3 challenges per game. That way if there is an obvious bad call then they can throw the challenge out for review. That wouldn’t slow the game down that much and would make it so the refs can’t decide a game, especially when it is close.

I truthfully thought the refs weren’t that bad. The Gasol travel was bad and there were a couple questionable foul calls, but nothing too blatant. The Lakers got the calls because they were more aggressive. Still, that foul disparity was impressive.

The Lakers had more talent, and did not consistently play up to their potential. The Celtics, getting older, more consistently played as a team, with an emphasis on defense. In this series, the Lakers were again inconsistent, but played strong defense when it counted most, and combined with their length and edge in talent, made the difference.
No reason to question the outcome, Boston did not lose, the Lakers won.

I agree. Those two teams battled their asses off the full 7 games. Most hard-fought, contested series we’ve had in a long time. Even the last game, with brick after brick on both sides, was a joy to watch because of the incredible intensity.

Congrats on a hard-fought season. The Lakers and Celtics need each other. Our mutual hate (and in the more rational fans, mutual (but grudging) respect) is what makes sports fandom worth feeling. This title felt much sweeter than last year’s, and I thank an incredible team for pushing us to the limit.
My only wish for next year? To have both these teams with a fully healthy starting 5, going at it. Because as much as Doc likes to talk about his starting 5 never losing – the Lakers starting 5 (with either Ariza or Artest) has never lost either. I’d love to see these teams at full strength.
Sadly, what-if scenarios are pointless. Bynum is probably just injury prone. KG was old when the C’s acquired him, so injuries/slowing down had to be a reasonable expectation. It’s too bad, because I would have loved to see these teams win with no asterisks or question marks.
As much as I hate the C’s, their incredible defensive schemes taught the Lakers so much about how to be champions. Congrats on a great run, and I wish you guys the best of luck next year.
