“Don’t blame (the) Celts fans robinred when the Celts are vastly superior to the Lakers….”

This has yet to be proven, but even if it is the case, you can feel free to go express that kind of simplistic, biased opinion at C’s blog.

This may just be a bad matchup for the Lakers–sometimes fans tend to think that a couple of tweaks can make more difference than they really can.

We shall see. I will be intereste to see what they do with Rondo in Game 3.

“I wonder if Laker-nation would trade “soft” Gasol for Bynum at this point.”

As I said on the other thread: always pleasant having Celtics fans around.

528. Again, that win at the Staples center counts! Bynum gives the Celtics a MUCH tougher matchup than Gasol regardless of how much crisper the offense was running. I wonder if Laker-nation would trade “soft” Gasol for Bynum at this point.

Does anybody else hate the ABC announcers?

Breen- Kobe with a wide open shot….no good. Wow what great Celtic defense. Paul Pierce with the rebound.

Marc Jackson- Paul Pierce.. is the greatest Boston Celtic… ever.

JVG- I dont know about the GREATEST ever Marc, though EXPlOSIVE might be the better word, that he is the most EXPLOSIVE Boston Celtic ever.

Marc Jackson- Well explosive then. Its the same thing.

JVG- Actually its not. EXPLOSIVE and GREATEST, are two COMPLETELY different meanings. Saying Paul Pierce is the GREATEST Celtic of all time is like saying Scottie Pippen is the GREATEST Bull of all time.

Breen- Hahaha, you tell just great funny jokes Jeff. Pierce for three!!……BANG!!!

Marc Jackson- Thats why hes the most explosive player ever.

JVG- NOW you have it RIGHT.

Lakersfan88 – Maybe he is, but he is also the front runner for the Finals MVP trophy for this year, which will be handed out Thursday night. Of course Kobe would have gotten it if he didn’t miss so many “bunnies.”

” I’m not sure the C’s are *this* much better, but I do think they are better and we’ll find out over the next 10 days.”

I am not a blame-the-refs guy, and your point about the Utah game is well-taken, although it is worth noting that Utah has a long history of playing phyical and leading the league, or nearly so, in fouls, opponent FTs, etc. That said, the Celtics have been the better team so far and Rivers deserves credit for using Powe.

Also, the Celtics have not proven they are “this much better” than the Lakers. All they have done is hold serve at home, by winning two hard-fought games, one of which was keyed by a 28-FT advantage at the line, with a few questionable calls.

And yeah, you do have a lot of fanboyism at Celticsblog.

I’m sure we do the same thing over at celticsblog, but it appears as though there is an excuse for everything. The regular season was different because no Pau Gasol. Game 1 was just bad luck with Kobe’s shots. Game 2 was the officiating. At some point there is going to be a rude awakening that it is in fact possible that the Lakers can (and are) being outplayed.

Also as an aside, I went through the Utah Game 2 thread and did not see one post on the “absurdity” of the FT differential. Just something to think about. I’m not sure the C’s are *this* much better, but I do think they are better and we’ll find out over the next 10 days.
