nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 In Dama's defense, Matt, the fact that you included "and I don't recall you ever publicly supporting them before this season" gave the impression that you were trying to call him out on bandwagon jumping. I don't think you were, but I can see why someone would interpret your question as more than a simple "why?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Understandable. But for the record, I've always been a Dama supporter and one of the few who recommended bringing him back here, so I didn't mean to start any conflict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Is it just me or has everyone seemed to forgotten that Paul Pierce was a defensive beast when he first got in the league and then kinda just...stopped playing it. For a while there though, he was a monster. THen he became the obviously best player on the team and kinda said "fuck that defense stuff". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Congrats to KG and Ray for picking up their first rings in a couple of days. But fuck Paul Pierce. He has now usurped LeBron and Nash as my least favorite player in the NBA. I can't stand when talented guys flop around and whine like bitches all the time. Leave that shit to the Europeans and Manu. If only Pierce was as stoic as Kobe Bryant ... that guy never whines or complains about calls. Notice I said flop AND whine. One of the two is bad enough, but when a guy does both consistently I just want to kick him in the balls. Hence the hate for the three guys I mentioned, the Europeans and Manu.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 When does Lebron Flop? Or whine for that matter? Did you see him play at all against the Celtics this postseason? I almost didn't realize how much Pierce flopped because LeBron was outflopping him. On a more serious note, whenever he drives to the hoop and the lane doesn't part like the Red Sea he bumps into a defender and flails his arms wildly and acts like they're capable of knocking him down with a glance when he's running at full speed to the rim. Dude is like 6'8 260, the only person who should be able to blow him up like that is Shaq. If you've never seen LeBron whine about fouls, then you've never watched a Cavs game since he got there.

For a while there though, he was a monster. THen he became the obviously best player on the team and kinda said "fuck that defense stuff". I think alot of that had to do with playing beside Antoine Walker who also had no desire to play any kind of defense what-so-ever. Antoine will always be my favorite Celtic player ever but the guy just wanted to push the ball and take shots alot of the time...I think that rubbed off on Paul when he came into the league.

Boon 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 Pierce was also the only offensive weapon the Celtics had not named Al Jefferson for a while. It's easier to play great defense when you don't have to expend as much energy on the other end of the floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boxer 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 So tonight could be the night for a championship. It'll be something for Doc winning on father's day much like Jordan in 96. With that said, let the Celtics end it tonight and the Big 3 plus Doc get their first rings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 I am finding myself wanting the Celtics to hurry up and shoot so that Kobe can get the ball again on the other end. I want the Celtics to win and all, but I would rather watch Kobe play like desperate Kobe. ... Why the fuck are they playing Thriller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Wow Celtics. Way to totally not try on defense in that quarter. I guess they want to win it in Boston and they're taking game 5 off. I should've expected as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 IF the Lakers manage to win this game there's no doubt in my mind that they will have every opportunity to do so in Game 6.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 HAHA. They praise Kobe getting a great defensive play while watching the replay of him not touching the ball and grabbing Pierce around the waist. LOL. Not that they should call that a foul. Its not a biggie, its just that the annoucers had the nerves to call it a good clean play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
