I repeat the celts are out and The Lakers are on their way to the Finals.


On the way to the finals....




.....to choke again????   ;)


But in all seriousness, all kidding, and teasing aside,  good luck to your lakers.    No really.  Lakers in the finals will be a series to watch....


what kind of celtics fan are you?


Seriously.  

Ahem.

Found: Footage of Kobe\'s first overnight stay in Denver since... well... you know.

Lakers are just that much better than every other team in the West this year and in the East except for Orlando but if they should meet again, I\'m sure The Lakers will have that figured out.

I hope so.

I wanted the Cavs because all they really have is Lebron as evidenced by this first real test which other than that shot they would be down 3-0, and The Lakers have proven they can beat them.

The Magic are a different story and I was hoping they were not ready but it seems they are.

I am a fan of basketball.

Yes, I\'m sad the Celtics are out....but..doesn\'t mean i dont want an amazing finals to watch....

What kind of basketball fan are you?   Stop watching just cause your team is out?  Nah, not my style.

How the hell do the Lakers lose by 19 when Carmelo shoots 3-of-16? By being the Nuggets\' bitch in the paint all night, that\'s how. Still, after stealing one in L.A., Denver had a chance to control the series by taking both at home and failed to do that. Now all the Lakers need to do to gain control is win Game 5 at home, which of course, they will.

And if I have to see another shot of these Denver fans who do up their hair like that doofball Chris Anderson, I am going to fucking throw up.

Go Lakers!

Lakers should be scared shitless right now.  should\'ve lost both games 3 and 4, and now all they have to do is win game 5?  get real.  both the lakers and cavs are being outmatched by good teams instead of just being a team w/ 1 good player.

I\'d say LA is still a much better TEAM than Cleveland, with comparable tools to Denver across the board. But Denver looks way hungrier, have even in their losses this series. They (Denver) are more athletic than any team left too, though that doesn\'t always translate to championships. If Smith shows up in LA like he did last night, I\'ll take Denver. Otherwise, I\'ll take Denver. I\'m getting sick of the Lakers and their half-ass-ness every other game. Denver is a lot more exciting to watch.

Shitty loss but they really only needed the one game in Denver.
I just wish they would get over the "well in a game 7 we have Kobe" mentality which is really getting on my nerves.

The Eastern Conference Finals have been ridiculous. LeBron James is proving that he is the MVP and also demonstrating why Scottie Pippen should be a Hall of Famer.

Tight game until the 4th when The Lakers took control. Kobe played the team game and did not need to score a bunch.
I expect another huge game from the nuggets on fri. but if The Lakers can just play big like tonight(ODOM!!!!) the nuggets can\'t handle them.
Kobe has also not gone Black Mamba yet so....

DOMINATION!!!!!!
The Lakers kept playing big and started off w/ energy and the team that routed the West in the regular season came back to life.

George Karl in his interview was hilarious.
In regards to Kobe: "I don\'t think Jesus could have covered him."
" " to Lamar: "Whoever woke up Lamar Odom should be fired."
" " to Phil: "I would say he kicked my ass coaching tonight."

The Lakers play like this in the Finals and I don\'t care what Jerry West says Orlando is not beating them.
Oh and the Cavs if they somehow survive will not have an answer for the team we saw tonight either.
