I have read thousands of reports on the Lakers since Thursdays game one loss in Boston and have come up with several conclusions. The first is that many reporters have no idea what they’re talking about and their opinion is ridiculously useless and should be taped off with caution in order to protect readers from [...]
NBA Finals 2008: Game 2 – Gasol attacks, but someone called the Powe Powe! —
The Hoop Doctors
June 9th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water
Pau Gasol, I must apologize to you. I am sorry Pau Gasol for calling you “soft.” I also apologize on behalf of the other writers at The Hoop Doctors who have ever called you soft. There is no way that anyone who throws down a dunk as nasty as we saw tonight in Game 2, right in the grill of “The Big Ticket” Kevin Garnett, can be called “soft” by anyone at ...

The Hoop Doctors
June 7, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious
If there is one lesson that could be pressed upon us as soon as this Sunday, it’s that it may not be wise to taunt, prod, and ridicule a competitor as fierce and potent as Kobe Bryant. The “Black Mamba” is probably the fiercest competitor the NBA has seen since the retirement of the great one, Michael Jordan. Competing the way he does at this level, Kobe ...

The commentators tonight are two or three guys who will be muted while I listen to music and drink beer. Feel free to use the comments to this post as a sounding board should you need to vent about ...

My NBA Finals preview and prediction will be brief because I have Nats/Cards game to attend. It is Ryan Zimmerman bobblehead night baby! He is on the DL like half the sorry ass Nats squad. Anyway, Lakers in 5. Kobe Dominates, the Zen Master gets his 10th ring, and Doc Rivers shows why he is an average NBA coach. HT: Bleacher Report for the Picture

No need brig out Michael Buffer to get Lakers and Celtics fans pumped up for this one. I think we all know we are in for what should be a rare and exciting finals. When was the last time the best team from each conference met in an evenly-matched finals?
And yes, I said evenly matched. The more I have looked at this series, the more I think it is ...

The two regular-season meetings between the Lakers and Celtics can be disregarded when looking at their matchup in the Finals. Rondo missed one contest and they both came before the Lakers made the trade for Pau Gasol. The Lakers picked up their game considerably after the trade for the former All-Star who has averaged 18.8 points and 8.6 rebounds in his career. Saying that Gasol's addition ...
