I put the first initial of my first name in front of my last name. How cool is that?

FYCK. Stupid computer deleted my entire post. I was on that straight knowledgism.

From what I remember, I was talking about how you all are drinking haterade on Sam I Am. In the first half, he completely changed the Lakers defense. They had to pay him so much attention and at one point had to switch Kobe up on him. That paid dividends for the Celtics and kept them in the game. Yea, he sucks much of the time, but when he hits a game winner during this series you all will on his gorilla sack.

I can't pin point how, but Doc played KG differently as far as when he got rest. Doc needs to do something differently there. KG was winded.

He was obviously barely holding on in the fourth until the last few minutes when the game slowed down and he got a few timeouts in. If we all agree the Celtics need another competent big man, goodness the Lakers need about 3. If this is any indication, expect the 4-5 positions to be dominated by Boston. KG's first half wasn't him getting on an usual roll, it was him being completely unfazed by Gasolina's unthreatening defense. Sheed, McDyess, and Maxiell did a fine job of being aggressive and making KG stretch to get shots off. KG might as well be shooting over Farmar everytime. The Lakers had trouble handling PJ Brown, what happens when Perkins has his \"once every four-five games\" breakout of 10-15 boards? I really think Powe would give Phil Jackson fits because they have nobody other than Turiaf who really bangs. Am I missing something or are the Lakers really in trouble with the big men matchups? I love it

It is a bit troubling that Mr. Bryant just glides around having a subpar game in the finals. You've got to think he's going to tear shyt up on Sunday. I'm convinced Kobe turns it off and on much like The Daddy does with the lightswitch after succumbing to a swampdonkey at bar close. They had better decide to play some fycking pick and roll defense on Kobe and Gasolina/scrOdom. It sucked.

Rondo - Rondo'd em
Ray Ray = Jesus
KG - two slamups for CW's room, both in Gasolina's grill.
Pierce = the Truth, \"So cold chicken soup won't help.\" - Kanye
Pierce's injury = sissy. That was monkeyshyt.

JVG - hilarious and smart.
Mark Jackson - STFU


DaddyFatSax - Out this bytch till game 2.

Alright I'll give you the point about them switching Kobe over to play on Cassell after he scored those quick 6 points or whatever. My personal theory that goes along with that is that it was also done because guarding Cassell is cakeduty and Kobe was struggling on the offensive end in the beginning of the game. Thus, if they let Kobe \"guard\" (more like help out other guys/pad your rebounding stats/etc.) Cassell, he could concentrate and get going on the offensive end.

Totally agree about the PP injury, if you can call it that. He seriously was in the locker room for like 5 min. after being carried off by teammates. Maybe he just really had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it? Thus I can't even consider this a \"he came back injured and was huge\" moment.
It would have been amazing if they proceeded to carry him back out, place him at the 3-pt line, and then he hits those consecutive 3's while hobbling around the court like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

If you are looking for an argument about Sam I Am, you'll get none. You all know the Daddy is relatively objective and rational with my arguments, except when it comes to the Spurs and the monkeyshit they throw on the court. With that in mind, I am fully aware of Sam's detrimental nature, but I choose to only look at what little good he does, cuz he's my man Sam!

So shut your logic up Roundhouse. Same is the Kobestopper as JVG dubbed him last night. You cannot refute his excellence. No Sam last night = no victory.
