It also hurts your argument that you have to bring up 2005 to find the last time Amar'e had this kind of game. As a fan of his, I'm always waiting for him to get back to that, but you gotta be realistic; no one expects him to average 40ppg for the rest of the series. 25ppg would be "vintage Amar'e", and still not good enough to beat the Lakeshow.

The Lakers have been getting stellar performances from Odom (his game 1 was a career best) and Artest...look what happened when those guys got quiet last game...Not saying the Lakers need their career best, but they need more than Gasol and Bryant (who both put up amazingly consistent numbers)

This series has gotten interesting, the Suns somehow won a game without having any sort of 3 point shooting. Can you imagine what will happen if the Suns start hitting some 3's? Completely different series then. Also, the bench has been quiet on offense, compared to their normal output...

This is true. A whole lot of C's fans came out of the woodworks during that title run. When they were winning 24 games a year, not so much.

[Jasong7777]

Yeah, but the Celtics won 16 championships before 2008. Pretty sure they had a couple of fans then.

For the 15-20 years that they sucked prior to 2008 (minus a couple Walker/Pierce playoff runs), you didn't hear the fans like you do now.

Agreed, though in fairness every franchise that goes through a downtime has this happen.
