not really, i know some will disagree but the lakers have pretty much controlled their entire playoff run, if theyve won its cause they made their shots, if theyve lost its cause they missed their shots - controlled in that sense rather than being stopped by good defense which there was, the lakers are just one of those teams where either theyre gonna hit !#+!! or theyre not, the quality of defense just alters their shot selection, where as boston has been on the brink twice and were 5 min away from a 3rd

pp always plays well against kobe
that's true, he has a big frame and can use his strength against kobe - he'll take kobe in the post. don't want Kobe to pick up fouls againstpierce.
some of ya'll act like kobe is that much better than pierce
he is....HOF lock Kobe ...
Pierce - even if he wins a championship he won't be in the HOF, he might get one foot, not even foot ---- toe in the door and at his age, his gameisn't going to improve that much, so hes not even close.

i thought you already knew i wasn't talking about accomplishments. i'm pretty sure if pp had shaq he woudlve had some rings = hof.
i was talking about the pure skill set. cuz paul has it as well.

There are more than enough Laker and Celtics fans out there who will be watching so this will be watched everywhere. Both those teams have fans allover the place; just like the Yanks, Red Sox, Cowboys, etc. do.Originally Posted by curt2121
i would have been 47892572986204375676592 times more interested in a spurs/pistons final series and watched every minute. Now I won't watch a single minute or care at all about the outcome. The matchup doesn't interest me at all and I'm perfectly fine with being one of 7,000 people in the US who strongly wanted a spurs/pistons final to watch real basketball. showboating ftl in this. Can't wait until the ratings are bad and people can't say anything about it.
