Too early to call it after what we've seen the past couple of games, but Lakers fans, think of this next year:
Fisher (Farmar?) Kobe Odom Gasol Bynum! I don't think the key will look so empty when Bynum is on the court.

I don't watch much of the non-celtics bball during the year, is Bynum actually that good, or is he mostly hype and "potential" ?? objectively...

if rondo gets the consistency and a reliable midrange jumper he's a perennial all-star

Still no offensive rebounds for the Lakers, the smallest amount of offensive rebounds in a Finals game is 3.

Celtics deserve to win this title. Maybe next year for the Lakers but I think Boston is going to repeat as champs next season.

Ray Allen now has the record for most 3 pt FG's made in a NBA Finals series with 20 (and counting)

The Lakers don't even look like they are trying anymore. I don't like the Lakers, but why the hell is Kobe on the bench?

He was living up to the potential before his injury. He's got great length and dunks everything close to the basket, which works great with Kobe when he draws the D on drives. His individual D is a work in progress but he is a pretty solid weakside shot blocker. Depending on how he bounces back from injury there's a lot to be optimistic about for LAkers fans.

He's still a project in the making, but one which has already started to bloom. He still needs to develop more girth and moves underneath, and like many young players, he needs to be more consistent. But he is already a very strong and athletic player whose presence has an impressive effect on what opposing teams do against the Lakers in the post. And while he's probably not going to ever be a jump shooter, he has really worked on impriving his post moves and is simply too quick for most big guys underneath. But his biggest addition is what he will do to the rest of the lineup. Gasol no longer has to play as an under-sized center, but can return to being a faceup PF who will be very difficult to stop further out from the basket. Odom drops from third to fourth option, meaning he is relied on even less, and he becomes a matchup nightmare for almost every 3 in the league. And it gives the Lakers three players who have averaged double-digit rebounds on their front line and removes Radmonovich/Walton from the starting lineup. And he's still getting better.

He was in the middle of a month-long or so stretch as the league's leading shot-blocker before his injury, I think. He's a presence. He's no Shaq-in-his-prime, not yet, but he would have made a difference on defense. |

I'm torn between watching the usual end of season awards and what not, and turning on the radio to listen to Lakers' fans jump off the cliff.

So who gets MVP? Before this game I'd have given it to Pierce, but Ray Allen just broke an NBA record and has been on fire for most of the series. I think I give it to Ray.

I think they have a great chance to be better - the only real question mark is whether Allen hits the wall. Otherwise, Pierce and KG are right in the middle of their prime, and the young guys will be a little better. |

Truly a pathetic display by the Lakers in an elimination game. We deserved better than this. The Celtics certainly deserve this win and the championship. They've been the best team all year. The Big 3 will be back next year and they'll make it back to the finals again, maybe against the Lakers who are a young team that should also get better.

for MVP: I think you could argue pierce or ray allen for sure -- but idk...i imagine pierce gets it for being the "long suffering soldier" type thing

Mad props to Danny Ainge. A lot of teams don't bother to pull the trigger and take a chance when they see an opening...and he did it at the right time. Got the right pieces and made it happen at the right time. Heck of a job. Congrats Boston.

Now there's a ringing endorsement from the commentators about Doc Rivers. |

not sure after pierce's effort last game if ray ray is still the team's leading scorer in the finals - if so that just makes the case for him stronger
but now he has the 3 pt record (single game) tied and the series 3-pt record

He's not on the roster tonight, because Perkins is back. In a classy move, the Celtics had Scalabrine, Pollard, and Pruitt go back and put uniforms on in the closing minutes.

Yup, big congrats to the Celtics. They totally and completely earned the championship. I'm really happy for KG and Pierce. Allen was always a bit of an ass in Seattle, but for the other two, I can deal with him getting a ring.

I think he was shouting out to all his old friends - but he included his mom so he gets bonus points from me. And then he embraced bill russell...mega bonus points
