Hindi kaya nagsisisi ang celtics dahil hindi nila pinilit makuha and 6th seed? Sa aking palagay iniiwasan nila makaharap ang miami sa 1st round pero sadya ba silang nakontento na makaharap ang knicks?

May nagsabing llamado daw ang celtics dahil mas malaki sila sa knicks lalo na pag sinabay sina PP, JG KG at BB tapos si bradley ang point. Pero anong nangyari sa height advantage? Talung-talo sa offensive boards.

Sabi nga nun isang poster the Jet made the lucky shots ... Umaasa na lang ba sa swerte ang C para manalo? Kung hindi sinwerte si jet kasabay ng pagkasuspinde ni smith nanalo kaya ang C's?

Well ipagdarasal kong manalo ... Gusto ko talaga makita ang laban na celtics vs miami sa ecf

me personally expected ko na lakers will make the playoffs kahit ang gulo gulo ng team nila. 2 weeks before the playoff kasi puro "rest" na ang mga teams except for teams looking for a playoff spot.

 

now Lakers will deal with the Dwight signing problem. will he or will he not.... IMHO he will sign with the Lakers. they can offer more money 30 million freakin dollors more.... and after about 2 years he will be the face of the franchise. (2 years Kobe will probably retire) another reason is that he is recently injury prone he should think about getting the longest contract possible to protect himself.

 

peace!

It was not easy for the laker to qualify for the playoffs ... while "rest mode" na lahat ng teams in the final two weeks, may inside track pa rin ang Utah since they have the easier schedule and the tie breaker. I put the lakers chance to enter the playoffs at 50/50 most.

Going into the final game of the season against Houston, they already knew it was a no bearing game in terms of a playoff spot but still battled to get the 7th seed.

Anyway, kahit magulo ang season ng Lakers, nakapagregister sila ng 45 wins despite laging may injured sa starters nila. Not bad coz that is the same number of wins that the 5th seed in the East has.

DH will do his die diligence in free agency but logically, I agree that DH will resign with the Lakers ... ang laking pera ang pakakawalan niya. Hindi siguro yan aalis unless hindi talaga siya comfortable co-existing with Kobe.

Mitch has proven time and again na magaling siyang GM. I think he knows how to deal with DH

22 yata out of the 82 games. cant win games if you dont know the style of play ng team mates mo.

 

at least they got to the playoffs. many said that Uta will make it instead of the LAL. mas nakakahiya pag they didnt make it sa playoffs.

 

all season long daming problema ng Lakers.

yup and got the 7th seed pa kahit na "pinagtatawanan" ng mga haters nun time they are struggling even to get the 8th seed

The Laker's strength supposedly is their "starting 5" but unfortunately how many games did we see them play all together at the same time because of injuries.

The reliables of Boston made great plays in this particular game. Aside from best player Paul Pierce, very special mention goes to Jeff Green because in this series he's mostly the one guarding New York's Carmelo anthony. Jason Terry of course was the one who made the lucky shots in this particular game.

its about time TERRY gets LUCKY

More than his points contribution in today's game, it was his role in getting JR Smith suspended that help get this W for the C's.

maybe hindi talaga para sa kanila tong taon...

 

na-injured pati sila Meeks and Blake eh... tsk..

 

bawi next season, revamp ulit...

Malas talaga e ... sa simula pa lang wala na nga si KOBE, tapos sumunod isa-isa sina Nash, Blake, Meeks at nitong huli si Ron

May mga umaasa kasi sa simula na lalaban sa championship ang LAkers at Boston. Kaso nalaglag ang Lakers at malamang sumunod na ang Celtics

their season is over .... looking forward to next season

yes nanalo ang C's sa NYK in OT. Tulad ng sinabi ko kailangan ang contribution ni Terry para manalo ang C's. Sa larong ito naka 18 pts siya. Pero suspendido at di nakapaglaro si JR Smith sa game na ito dahil sa paniniko niya kay Terry last game.

Medyo kulang sa offensive contribution si Vmac.

Sabi nga e mas gugustuhin na makitang natatalo ang celtics kaysa ma trade sina PP at KG

For me the lakers' season ended when kobe got injured and couldn't play anymore. Getting this far was already a bonus

sa 1st half the C's can't score and no D at all

He was offered a no trade clause & more money. The C's just pissed him off. But it would've been better to be a starter in another contender instead of just making Miami a lot better. Nash isn't a backup. Ray can get more rings but not a member of the big 3. He's too good to be in just a supporting role.

Yes, I now remember that there was a no trade clause ... yup he was really pissed and despite all the sweeteners in the offer still decided to leave the C's. Oh and I remember one issue that pissed him as well was being relegated as a reserve.

Considering that Rivers had Allen coming off the bench late last year (specifically during the playoffs) it's not a guarantee that he'll start for the C's if he signs. Unless that is part of the agreement which I am not aware of, I think he'll be competing with Bradley for the starting job. But it seems IMHO, Doc's mindset is to play Bradley as a starter because of his D and have RA coming off the bench for his scoring.

Well personally I don't think it matters with RA for not being part of Miami's big 3 ... the important thing is that he will be considered as an integral part in this championship run. In other words, he may not start for the Heat but is their most productive player off the bench. And so far in their current series, Ray has been that for the Heat something that the C's miss in the Jet. In fact Lee another SG signed last summer to replace RA is now out of Doc's rotation.

I actually don't like ray joining miami as it shows him as a ring chaser and helping your opponent win another ring.

It's boston's fault for using him as trade bait.

Actually we all know that the NBA is "business" ... Usually players try to get the best deal out there for them (either monetary or a chance to win a ring). The ball clubs treats them as commodities that is why they can trade the players.

In the case of Ray, I would think he got offended when the C's try to trade him thus he really wasn't interested to return (since the C's could eventually try and trade him again). Signing with the Heat I believe was the best scenario for him in terms of money and the chance to win another ring. If ever that happens he will be one up vs the original remaining big 3 of the C's

The Lakers miss the playoff once I believe during the post Shaq-Kobe era. They had a 34-48 record that season which eventually enable them to draft Andrew Bynum.

For the next two years they would qualify for the playoffs as the 7th seed but on both occasion their season would end after losing in the 1st round. So it seems that history will repeat itself. The Lakers this year have the 7th seed and looks like will have a first round exit.

for two consecutive years after that season. The Lakers were seeded 7th on both occasions

The Lakers are spending $100M in salaries this year, but they also have revenues and one of the would be the $4B 20 year TV deal with Time Warner that kicks-in this season. That is around $200M annually on that deal alone. So I don't think they are losing money moreso losing $100M this year.

Doc Rivers confirms that Lee whom the Celtics has signed during the summer to replace Ray Allen has now fallen off his rotation

Jason Terry, another one of the guys signed to add depth to the SG position has not so far produce a big game for the C's in this series. Am sure a lot of Celtics fans are hoping to see a repeat of the type of his performance when Dallas won its championship

Ray Allen on the other hand already got two 20 pt games for Miami out of the 3 games played in the first round. Moreso, on the night when Wade had an off night (1 of 12 fg), Allen was there to step-up scoring 23 pts.

While Terry's averages this season compares to that of Allen, Allen IMHO is more valuable. I am not surprise why KG was "mad" on Allen for leaving Pinersonal nga yata e ... and I am non wondering why. Allen is so far averaging around 16 ppg in the playoffs vs Terry's 4.5 ppg. That's quite a big disparity. It's time for Terry to wake up and help this team

talo ulit ang lakers sa game 2 vs spurs ... hirap talaga sila.

Talo ulit sa game 2 vs Knicks.

Natambakan nun 3rd quarter.

Nawala din un production ni Green ... lulubog lilitaw talaga itong taong ito

sa aking pananaw namiss talaga ng team si allen sa lahat ng aspeto ng laro. at syempre si rondo mas sobra nila namiss, iba pa rin kung ang assist leader ang maiinjured. si green naman hindi consistent pagdating sa opensa. biglang puputok pero sa susunod na laro biglang nawawala.

 

 

May nakalimutan ka pa ... Hindi ba nila na miss yun elite shot blocking big man?

Well sa nakita natin nun game one, pinagsabay ni Rivers si Green at PP para maging tall line-up ang Celtics. Defensively, match-up problem ito sa smaller Knicks at nakita nating pumutok pareho sina PP at Green. Pero hindi naman din nila napigilan si Melo. Plus maganda rin ang naging contribution ni MArtin. Siyempre andun un usual contribution ng 6th man of the year na si Smith.

Nagtataka lang ako kung bakit hindi na humugot ng malaki si Rivers sa kanyang reserves at puros guards lang ang pinalaro. Kitang kita naman sa stats na nilamon sila sa offensive boards.

While Boston was able to limit the Knicks to below 90 pts hindi naman sila makaiskor nun 4th quarter. Plus eto un dati ko nang nasabi, pumutok man ng 40 si Green (dahil naipakita daw na may kakayahan umiskor ng ganun karami) kung hindi rin naman nila mapigilan sa pagiskor yun main man ng kabila at walang contribution mula sa ibang players olats pa rin yan ... at yan ang nakita sa game 1 IMHO Terrys scoring contribution coming off the bench is critical for the Celtics to be able to win.

Tingnan natin kung anong adjustment ang gagawin ng C's sa game 2 mamaya.

I don't see the Celtics winning their series against the Knicks.

i know someone who thinks the C's could be in the NBA Finals

if it becomes a reality, well and good. Otherwise, hindi masamang mangarap at umasa

More than the point differential, it is the ability of Kobe to come up with the big plays at the right time

kaya nga nagpredict ako against sa knicks eh hindi mananalo ang celtics sa series na ito.

sa game 1 eh tatlo lang pinaglaro ni coach rivers sa bench, sayang naman eh team nila ang may pinakadeep na bench sa nba.

Hindi naman issue ang kung ilan ang pinaglaro ... alam naman natin na kapag playoffs usually 8-9 players deep lang ang hugot. Ang importante pag hinugot kayang mag produce.

Interesting facts ...

• both Lee and Terry who were signed to replace Ray Allen were not able to deliver in the 1st game against the Knicks. Na miss kaya ng Celtics si Ray ngayon

• Despite being "undersized" the Knicks got away with 10 offensive rebound ... anong nangyari?

sayang talo ang celtics. terry played for 20 minutes with o points going 0 out of five from the field. bawi na lang sa next game. dami turn overs ng mga starter,

Actually its not only Terry who had a miserable night ...

Lahat ng reserves ZERO sa FG. Un 4 pts na bench production ( from Lee) galing FT.

Paano mananalo ang celtics kung sila daw ang may pinakamagaling na bench pero ang production nito collectively ay 4 pts lamang

The lakers already know that they will advance to the playoffs even before their game started. They could have opted to rest their starters. But it seems they really wanted to face the spurs rather than the younger and faster okc.
