NBA: Thoughts and Notes
Jun 13, 2008 | 3:53PM | report this

1. Paul Pierce needs to stop acting like he is the best basketball player in the world.  He is overly cocky because Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen saved the Celtics franchise from sucking even more than it already did because he wasn't a good leader of the team.  KG and Ray Allen are the reason for the Celtics being good, not Pierce.  Also, after the Celtics beat the Heat, Pierce was saying they sucked even though he was in that same position last year. The difference is that his team had all their best players, while the Heat didn't have their top 4 players playing for most of the season.

2. NBA needs to investigate the refs.  They screwed the Lakers over in games 1 and 2 of the finals which led to them being down 3-1 not up 3-1 which is what they should be.  I am 95% sure that Bob Delaney is betting on games.

3. The NBA Finals is rigged.  The refs gave the Celtics the first 2 games by giving them every call, but once it got back to L.A. they decided to be fair for 1 game and then give Boston some favorable calls to help them come back from being blown out in game 4.

4. Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol need to step up, because they are way to soft and are worthless in the Finals so far.  They either need to both step up and finish out the series strong so that they will not be traded when they lose.

5. Lakers need to prepare for the offseason because their sucky play and the refs have made them lose this years finals.  They should add someone like Ron Artest or Hedo Turkoglu to make them better on defense and in crunch time.

6. The Cavaliers need to get a better coach and someone to be the distributor, because Lebron isn't a good passer.  They should try and get Flip Saunders as a coach and a point guard like Jamal Tinsley or Jose Calderon.

7. The New York Knicks need to do something to save their franchise from themselves.  They need to trade Zach Randolph, Stephon Marbury, and Nate Robinson if they can.

8. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen deserve to win a ring so I am happy for them because their team has pretty much won the finals (see 3 and 5).  Paul Pierce does not deserve to win a ring though, so I wish he wasn't on the team with 2 future HOF's to get him a ring.

9. Congratulations to all the true Celtics fans.  You guys have waited over 20 years if your one of the older fans, or only a couple of years in you're a fan since a couple of years ago to win a championship, and now you are going to probably on Tuesday in Boston.

Those are some of my Random Thoughts and Notes for this week.

Also a Note to Lakers Fans: Don't completely hate the bandwagon Celtics fans, because they will be Lakers fans next year.

You're hurting. I know the feeling. You should have been there when Frank Selvy's shot wouldn't drop, or when Don Nelson's did.
1-Paul Pierce put the clamp on Kobe Thursday night.
2-The refs call them like they see them.
3-The finals is not rigged. Baltimore said the same thing in '75 & '79.
4-Odom is playing hard, Gasol can't play post defense against a player the level of Garnett.
5-No need for Turkaglu on any Laker team if you wish to compete for the title.
6-NBA players don't respect Flip Saunders.
7-The Knicks franchise will outlast all the others.
8-Allen and Garnett came to play in this series.
9-Boston will more likely win Sunday than Tuesday.

I cannot believe your comments...I don't usually respond to these things but I had to because they are so off as far as characteristics anyway. I would route for Paul Pierce any day over Kobe! Kobe is the arrogant full of his self one and everyone knows it! I never seen someone so arrogant with so many sarcastic answers to the press like he's the king...it's hilarious to watch someone so cocky. I laugh everytime I see him and I don't really route for skills wise but chose the Celtics because of there attitudes including Paul...they are very humbled and don't make up excuses and admit to mistakes and I just love Doc Rivers and that leader says everything about that team..."HUMBLE." Look what kind of fans the lakers have hollywood stars that think there the one and so do the lakers trying to prove something to there cocky fans not saying all there fans but the ones I've seen.

Love tha Lakers!! But there is a lack of rebounding and defensive tenacity here... We have forgotten the Pat Riley Mantra of the Showtime days "No Rebounds, No Rings!...

This series is about Europeans against the hood.... Boston's brothas are BALLIN', My Lakers are balling... I mean have you seen how Gasol and Vucacik are being tossed around like bi**hes...

I'm a true blue Laker fan, so I believe.... but with an asterisk!

It's annoying how everyone thinks that Celtics aren't cocky. If you listen to them in interviews or anywhere else they sound cocky.
