Shem Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 With the 39 point win in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals, I'm pleased to see Kobe Bryant choke the big one and hope that many of those so called experts would quit comparing him to Michael Jordan as Kobe isn't even close. I doubt it will stop, but I'm hoping it will slow it down. I'm also happy for guys like Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and of course the long time Celtic Paul Pierce (the Finals MVP). What a great year it was for them and I feel like a kid again since I was a kid the last time the Celtics won an NBA title. Again, congrats to the Celtics!
Prime Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Doc Rivers > Phil Jackson That was the thumping of all thumpings. Kobe/Jackson legacy tarnished!
Rev7 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Congrats Celtics! You earned it! Yeah, I don't like Kobe that much....
Rogue Nine Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 As a New Yorker, it pains me to see another Boston sports team win a championship. However, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce definitely earned it and I'm glad to see them finally win one. They're all excellent, competitive athletes and stand-up guys, so I don't really mind being happy for them, especially since I'm not a Knicks fan.
MacTavish Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I wanted the Celtics to win, but Pau Gasol is my player. If he were still on the Grizzlies I'd be cheering for the Celtics 100% but, congrats to Boston!
Jeff Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Seeing the Lakers go down like that only makes me wish even more the Pistons would have beaten Boston in the Eastern conference finals... But the Celtics were definitely the best team this year so they deserved it.
MacTavish Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 But the Celtics were definitely the best team this year so they deserved it. And it is good to see that they finally were!
Titanius Anglesmith Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I would've preferred for LeBron and the Cavs to have gotten a championship this year, but it was definitely nice to see LA get pounded. That 26-6 run at the end of the second quarter was awesome.
Fredi Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Man ... I was cheering for Boston since the begginig ... I love the Celtics. btw ... dude Schmorgy ... if thats you in Mass Effect ... dude you're exacly as Volka Demirell lol.
DarthAve Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I would've preferred for LeBron and the Cavs to have gotten a championship this year People around where I live have just shut up about the Cavs losing in the playoffs... I couldn't care less, considering I've got high school sports to worry about.
adamqd Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've caught what I can of the Finals on NBA.com, as it's rarely on in England (Probably cause we suck at it... Apart from me of course) Nice to see Boston come up, The Big Ticket ruled! Go-Go Gadget arms
Exile007 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Not to mention people keep getting the team Kobe is on switched on, he's not on the Lakers he's on the Rapers. Woo! Go Celtics (even though I live in California)!
Pho3nix Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 The NBA hasn't been the same since Michael Jordans heydays.
gm5k Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 im a big Kobe fan, i like the Lakers as well. congrats to the Celtics, they really earned it. however, Spurs will be back in 08/09 baby (please God let us get younger) The NBA hasn't been the same since Michael Jordans heydays. and it never will. Michael Jordan essentially destroyed the NBA by being incomparably good. watch what happens to golf ratings when Tiger Woods retires(although that hopefully won't be for a while) it's not Kobe's, LBJ's, or anyone else's fault that they're not as good as Jordan. it's always such an unfair comparison. i feel like KOTOR did this same thing to me playing other RPG's. nothing measures up, and all i want is KOTOR III!!!!!
Da_Man_2423 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Wish Kevin Garnett was still here in Minnesota... Congrats to all the Celtics, not just the Big 3. Every single one of them earned it.
gm5k Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Wish Kevin Garnett was still here in Minnesota... . let McHale know about it. he's the one that F'd everything up. although it also had a lot to do with Garnett's ridiculous contract.
Da_Man_2423 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 let McHale know about it. he's the one that F'd everything up. although it also had a lot to do with Garnett's ridiculous contract. I don't think he'd listen to me, but Garnett was better off in Boston anyway after Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell left the T'Wolves.
Prime Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Seeing the Lakers go down like that only makes me wish even more the Pistons would have beaten Boston in the Eastern conference finals... But the Celtics were definitely the best team this year so they deserved it.I don't think the Piston's could handle the Lakers this year. I would've preferred for LeBron and the Cavs to have gotten a championship this yearUgh. Apart from LeBron that band of scrubs doesn't deserve to sniff the Finals. Wish Kevin Garnett was still here in Minnesota...He doesn't.
DarthAve Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Ugh. Apart from LeBron that band of scrubs doesn't deserve to sniff the Finals. Yay! QFE. I thought I was the only person who thought Cleveland didn't deserve to go near the Finals because they only have one relativly good player!
Da_Man_2423 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Wish Kevin Garnett was still here in Minnesota... He doesn't. Actually, he was pretty content here in Minnesota and at first didn't want to be apart of Boston at all. Then he got smart and realized the T'Wolves were going nowhere.
Titanius Anglesmith Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Ugh. Apart from LeBron that band of scrubs doesn't deserve to sniff the Finals To be honest, I don't care at all about the Cavs. I've been a big fan of LeBron's since back in his St. Vincent-St. Mary days, and I root for whatever team he plays for. He just happens to play for the Cavs.
JCarter426 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 As a New Yorker, it pains me to see another Boston sports team win a championship. You're just jealous.
