What Oskar is saying:

If Rondo has assists, steals, and with at least 10 points automatically means Celtics win.

But Doc Rivers is too stupid to know that Rondo is the MVP to center the offense around him just to get his 10 points.

That's why Pistons will win in 7.

And also win the NBA championship with Jason Maxiell being awarded the MVP.

Agreed, he was very fortunate not to be called for a foul on that play.

Game 5 was one of my favourites in this postseason. The Celtics blowing their lead is somewhat concerning in terms of their ability to ultimately close out the series or get the job done in the Finals if they do end up advancing but it did make for an exciting finish and they were able to knock down those free throws to put the game out of reach when it mattered most.

My custom title ftw.

I loved when Pierce got fouled on a three and made it, followed by Salvatore calling an offensive foul when he didn't even move forward. I thought the game might be over after that one, but Rasheed and Prince couldn't make a shot to save their lives.

It's over, Celtics take the win, and going to play the L.A Lakers for the championship.

Whoo, I hope Bosten wins. :)

It's a shame the Pistons keep CHOKING in the ECF. 3rd straight year now. What's most frustrating is that the Pistons were up 10 in the 3rd and now find themselves eliminated yet again.

But at least we'll all be rewarded with the matchup the NBA wanted to have : Celtics - Lakers for the title. It should be very fun to watch , and I hope it goes 7 games.

I hope it goes only four games, in favor of Boston.

A fine finish to a fine series. Great win by Boston though they almost came unstuck with their free throw shooting at the end. It was a valiant effort by the Pistons as well, once they took the lead and seemingly control of the game I was expecting the series to head to seven but unfortunately for Detroit it wasn't to be. I wonder if the NBA will bother to fine Sheed for his outburst, that would certainly add insult to injury.

Go Detroit! Woot....I mean go Boston...kill those Lakers. I thought Detroit had this one, they were playing pretty good at the time I left. Oh well, I would doubt the Pistons would have won Game 7 in Boston even if they manage to stave of elimination tonight, I mean considering the Celtics only have 1 loss at home.

Yeah, GO BOSTON.

First game starts June 5th, I probably won't get to watch it.


Does anyone here besides me hate Kobe? :mrgreen:

The one person who said Celtics in 6 must be real happy.
Lamrock on the other hand, is moving on to another bandwagon team.
Anyway, the series was fine. The C's managed to avoid another game 7, and Flip Saunders is looking to avoid losing his job.

This may be the last season of Flip on the Detroit bench.
The biggest question is if Flip is fired, who will replace him?
Avery Johnson perhaps?

Avery big mouth johnson would be a perfect fit for the pistons. He wont have to pain stakingly try to preach defence to a offensive minded team and from what I saw of him...he's a damn good coach. I wish the knicks or cavs got him instead.

Off the court, Garnett can be a jerk. He is rude to ball boys and locker room attendants. He gets himself so intensely wound before games, he's even a jerk to his teammates at times.

But on the court, Garnett is the perfect teammate. He plays hard every second he's on the floor. He shares the ball. He executes the game plan completely and without questioning anything. If the coach says to cut, he cuts. If the coach says to play zone, he plays zone.

Wow. :lol:


I think that article is just placing an escape goat for the Pistons' loss this season.
