Kobe Bryant's NBA Finals Resume

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Kobe Bryant is about to make his sixth NBA Finals appearance in the past decade, more than Shaquille O'Neal (five) or Tim Duncan (three since 2000, four overall). If Bryant's L.A. Lakers win the championship he will own more rings (four) than Larry Bird (three) and only trail Magic Johnson (five) by one.

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) According to a feature in the July 6, 2009 issue of the Sporting News called "SN's 2009-10 Power Poll," the Washington Wizards rank third in the NBA, just behind the reigning champion L.A. Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The reason given for that ranking is even more hilarious than the ranking itself: "The Wizards picked up Miller Miller and Randy Foye for a draft pick, girding them against the injuries that tore them down last season." Miller and Foye? That duo vaults the Wizards ahead of the Orlando Magic, San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics? I don't know what they are smoking/injecting over at SN, but whatever it is has very strong hallucinogenic properties.

Nuggets Erase 14 Point First Half Deficit, Earn Split in Los Angeles

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Although homecourt advantage is important, the Nuggets have been in similar situations before and failed to deliver: in both 2005 and 2007 the Nuggets split the first two games in San Antonio only to lose the next three games. Also, in last year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Detroit Pistons won game two in Boston and still lost the series in six games. Similarly, in the 2006 Western Conference Finals the Phoenix Suns took game one in Dallas but lost the series in six games. The Nuggets are a good home team but the Lakers are a good road team that is certainly capable of winning one or both games in Denver. [read the full post]

In 1976, the ABA's Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets and San Antonio Spurs joined the NBA, while the players from the remaining ABA teams went into a dispersal draft. Of the four ABA teams that survived the decade, the Nuggets won the most games (469; the Nuggets played in seven 84 game ABA seasons and three 82 game NBA seasons, so their actual winning percentage is virtually identical with the Knicks).

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) The Celtics finished with the best record in the NBA (66-16), while the Lakers had the best record in perhaps the most competitive Western Conference race ever (57-25). The top two seeds have generally not both made it to the Finals in recent seasons but the Celtics and Lakers each vanquished tough foes to advance to the championship round, where Boston earned the right to hoist a 17th championship banner, denying Phil Jackson his 10th coaching title and Bryant his fourth ring as a player and in the process completing the one blank space on the Hall of Fame resumes of Garnett, Allen and 2008 Finals MVP Paul Pierce.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Celtics getting away with murder out there Boston messed up by going away from kg Pierce is so injury prone its not even funny. Perkins is a lot of weight for anybody's knee to take. I think Pierce will return.....so the Lakers better get a good lead now. Wow, the Celtics really look shook up with this injury. Oh sh*t, now Perkins just got hurt! Pierce is a drama queen. Injury was exaggerated. The Lakers are better than the Celtics. Pierce knows it and is trying to inspire his team. Kobe has been out of control since opening tip. His Jordan impersonation is hurting the Lakers. When will Kobe ever learn that team ball wins. Kobe was cringe-worthy today.

Boston Celtics 98, Los Angeles Lakers 88 So, I've been at this post for a while, and I've found that there are two ways to take this. On the Celtics side, yeah, lots of "expected." That's to be expected, from Boston, and that likely won't let up.

“Lakers in five” seems smarter, but that would involve Los Angeles beating Boston four times in five games. Does anyone see that happening? I’d pick “Boston in six” before I’d pick that. And yet, for the “six” to come through, that road win for the clincher has to happen. We’re calling it, but i...

Lakers vs. Celtics. Celtics vs. Lakers. I just watched both games, thanks to Synergy Sports. The first was November 23 in Boston, and the 10-1 Celtics beat the 7-5 Lakers 104-97. The second was December 30 in L.A., when the 26-3 Celtics beat the 19-11 Lakers 110-91.

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) NBA Finals The first meeting was a 107-94 home win for Boston on November 23, 2007. That was the 12th game of the season for the Lakers (7-5) and the 11th game for the Celtics (10-1). Andrew Bynum--who is course out of action now due to a knee injury--had just moved into the starting lineup for the Lakers and he finished with four points on 2-7 shooting plus nine rebounds. Lamar Odom also shot 2-7 from the field. The Lakers were still putting their rotation together, as Ronny Turiaf started while Luke Walton and Vladimir Radmanovic came off of the bench. Bryant had a slightly subpar game, 28 points on 9-21 shooting plus four rebounds and three assists. This was the third game in four nights for the Lakers, all on the road. The Celtics had been home since a... [read the full post]
