the celtics are a proud veteran team. Usually it takes 7 games to knock them off unless key players aren't playing. They have the better coach, and their best players have played in the finals before. Thinking they would get swept is idiotic.

not swept but it would have been 5 games.

If you're an honest person you would attribute injuries to the celtics losing more than who they played.

2009 - KG out of the rest of the season would of won the finals this year

2010 - perk hurt early in game 6, would of won the finals this year.

2011 - rondo hurt in game 3 vs cheat, would of lost to bulls in ECF

2012 - EVERYONE injured had 3-2 lead on cheat, would of gave OKC a run for their money in the finals

I was with you until 2011 :shaq2:

Gotta love the convenient ass "ifs" that are being used to fit arguments. We could go on all day about if this or if that but it's pointless because we live in a world where you have to actually go out and play the game. Those dudes LOST.......simple as that

Sheed gave the Celtics 11 Pts that game. Perkins aint giving you that. and Bynum had left Game 6 becuz his knee was fukkin' up and limped around the court in Game 7. and we out-rebounded the Celtics in 5 of those games.

nikkas kill me with that Perkins shyt.

the lakers had 23 offensive rebounds in game 7. You don't think having Perk would change that? :what:

Uncertain grounds
Not those "if" years, which I'm referring to

Very well then, thanks for clarifying.

The only reason I embellished my post was because of the TS's comment that the Lakers were depleted the year the Celtics beat them, but the facts remain. They aren't necessarily excuses for losing, but I think they do contribute to the idea that the Celtics were not disappointing as much as they were unfortunate.

Well I wasn't just singling you out. My post was for a few of you. Actually for the TS as well, but my hate for the Celtics made me only write about them :russ:
