In my opinion, the Lakers, or really the Western Conference, are fakers. They are good. I will give them that with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. The problem is the Celtics are very good, maybe even great (I am leaning toward very good). The problem is the Celtics are focused more on the prize. It [...]

Game 2 running

The Celtics outscored the Lakers 10-0 in the first 2:20 of the second quarter capped by a Paul Pierce 3-pointer to lead 30-22. The Lakers subs were in for the run. After the timeout, Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom returned. Bryant, of course, ended the drought with a 20-foot fallaway jumper. **** Some celebs in [...]

It’s early, only seven minutes into the game, but both Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins are not hampered by their injuries (Pierce knee, Perkins ankle). Pierce took the ball to the basket on three occasions as well as hitting a 3-pointer from 26 feet away on the left side. *** The Lakers are definitely more [...]

Celtics in 6

Posted in Celtics, Uncategorized on Jun 4th, 2008 View Comments

I don’t think the Lakers know what they’re getting into here. I believe Phil Jackson believes his nine championships will somehow rub off on his team, which is a very good team, and lead them to an NBA title. I don’t see it. I have a story going in tomorrow’s Eagle-Tribune, with 10 reasons why [...]
