NBA Finals Thread

[yezzir]

Sasha didn't play selfishly, he's a young player who didn't know when to take his shots and when to pass. I don't think he meant to hurt his team at all, because he knows he has the talent to help them win games but doesn't know exactly how to do it right yet, if that makes sense at all....

but yeah, training camp is all i'm looking forward to right now. I don't even know if I'll have the heart to watch another game just so I can see them lose the finals anyways (even if they win in LA next game, they'll lose in Boston). This really ruined their chances.

And no way am i glad for ANY of the celtics, but they obviously deserve it more than we do, especially after tonight's game. Paul Pierce for MVP

 

[elcheato]

he was averaging 18/12 for about a month right when he got injured.
and must i remind you that he's only 20?

He's the 2nd coming of Tyson Chandler. An athletic big man who has no range, and depends on alley opps as his main source of scoring. He has good defense I'll give him that, and like most 7 feet man can do, he can rebound.

 

[The Young One]

Do u know what selfish means? Man sasha is selfish

 

[Pierce]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YESSSSS!!!!!
'
OMG YES... Ill post my thoughts once I realize what we just did.

If you watched the entire game you could tell he wasn't being selfish, but just taking his shots. If you look at the stats, he looks selfish.

you've obviously never seen him play. He has a really nice inside post game
and dont you think that defense would've helped a little?

I've seen him play, and there was a reason he was among the league leaders in alley opps. From what I've seen, he has absolutely no range, he depends on dunking, he's like Dwight Howard but not nearly as powerful. He would have helped defensively, but he's still not the biggest guy. And I'm guessing the Celtics would have played differently with a new style with Bynum in there instead of just trying to pound it.

What Bynum is going to bring back to the lakers is a low-post presence, both offensive and defensively. He can guard a guy like kg, and be able to post up on a guy like kg. He'd obviously have a tougher time on KG himself, but he'd be way more effective than Gasol ever was. He has a certain toughness about him.

I'd say either Ray-Ray, Posey, or Powe for MVP...honestly.

Powe? The guy had one good game, he's been a non-factor the entire series but one game..

 

[yezzir]

No way is Posey or Powe the MVP.

He's got good post moves, I realize that but when you have no range, you can easily be shut down and exploited in big games. He has time to develop, but he made a mistake not going to college and just going strait to the pros.

sure, but you even said it. he's got room for improvement, but he's still only 20
i like my chances with a front court of Bynum/Pau/Lamar

and a backcourt that includes kobe bryant and some developing point guards.

 

[Pierce]

Pierce will get MVP. Even though Ray Allen deserves it. The guy doesnt show up until the confrence finals and then he's gonna be top 2 in the MVP race for the finals.

Who knows how long Bynum will be there, shown by his move from going to the pro's and not to college, obviously he wanted the money, and if someone offers more then the Lakers, he could be as good as gone.

i'm pretty sure he's sticking with the lakers.

Yea because we all know players who get bashed by the teams star player and go from high school to Pros for money is guaranteed to stick with that same team.
