The Lakers try to become the first team in ... (let's see, consults record books..) TWO years to come back from a 2-0 deficit to win an NBA Finals. The Celtics come armed with the knowledge that they are likely better than the Lakers. I've come away with the knowledge that Leon Powe is actually on the Celtics. Go figure.
Today's question to debate:
Would the course of basketball history been changed if I had not returned the lost wallet of Brian Scalabrine (who is inactive for the series) when he was visiting the library? He wouldn't have had his library card or an ability to check out the books he needed for the paper he was writing at USC.
Bob, USC athletes don't write their own papers. At least not since Mazio Royster's epic thesis on Pan-Slavism. That paper really set the bar way too high.
Since my computer terminal isn't giving me much crowd noise, what does Staples Center sound like? Has the crowd picked any particular Celtic as the new Kevin McHale?
The crowd is boisterous, shouted "MVP" when Kobe shot free throws, and even made a bit of a sarcastic cheer when one of the first fouls was called on the Celtics. It's not incredibly loud to my ears but fairly loud.
Sheesh, the one time I'm here in an NBA chat and D4P is nowhere to be found. I would like the secretary to note my presence on the roll sheet, at least.
14 he's arguing that the lakers have no heart because their 4th quarter run happened when america was "fast asleep"? yeah, they played badly. it happens. they still didn't lose by much.
They should be up by 15+ right now. Gasol is playing like a scared little kid, Odom is pathetic, and Kobe cant hit a free throw. fortunately Garnett and Pierce havent showed up offensively, either.
Pau Gasol is playing like a A Gaol Pus. He really needs to wake up, yeah. That should've been dunked, near the end of the half. Odom will be back in the 2nd half, we'll see if he's alive.
That was a totally bizarre ending indeed. Celtics looked like they'd given up early, the Lakers sort of looked like that, too. There were some weird plays just before that sequence, and... odd.

but instead we may be looking at a...

instead. I wonder how many NBA games (or what percentage of games) this year had a free throw shooting advantage of 28 or more.

I wish someone had kept Leon Powe's wallet when he was visiting the library at Cal, though, if he'd in fact lost his wallet.
(Puts on grammar cop hat.)
(Thinks better of it.)
And he left his wallet behind.
Fortunately, he tends to stand out in a crowd.
And then... some chaos on the other end. How was that a foul on Vlad-Rad? Oh well, maybe just as well, given how he plays defense.

That foul called for Sasha would not have been called in game 2.
And hell follows after him.
Either that or no one cares.
Anagram of Lamar Odom: Alarm Doom.
he's playing like Aroma Mold right now.
Farmar and Brown looked like they wanted to dosey-do there.
kg is ok too i suppose.
I usually wash it down with some Soylent Cola™.
IT'S TOFU!!!
SOYLENT GREEN IS TOFU!!!!
The Lakers were down by 20 last game and still kept fighting. The Celtics just gave up practically.
