Can you say BLOWOUT!?!?! The Lakers looked like little 8th graders on that court in game six.embarrassing.

I saw the game CELTICS HAD 39 MORE POINTS THAN THE LAKERS! Basically lost by 40 points! Celtics beat the Lakers in their home town and the celtics were down by 24 points and they still won! Their were three minutes left in the final game 6 Celtics still was busting lakers ass even though they knew they had the game won! Paul, Kevin, and Allen are the shit!

@ironMagicJohnson32 NOT

[Troy8Emmitt22Irvin88]

@celtssoxpatsbrurevs MJ =GOAT

[PhillyDippy5]

Celtics>Lakers all the day

[celtssoxpatsbrurevs]

@ironMagicJohnson32 then what did you mean by your rose thing..I mean looking at pg. If you judge whos doing the best with less. Its Paul. If your juding affect on game from a scoring its williams. If you look at dimes and steals and boards. its rondo. all sucbjective

[celtssoxpatsbrurevs]

@ironMagicJohnson32 i see what your saying its all subjective. We cant go back and plug this person to do this. The past happened for a reason. And for russell. He grew along with wilt the NBA. If it wasnt for them growing the product there would be no magic,bird,jordan,kobe... To some people growing the product is being the GOAT. being the best is so subjective. because eras change.

[ironMagicJohnson32]

continued.. I'm saying it doesn't matter who played first when it comes to who is better between two players. So Dr. J v.s. MJ/ Erving is automatically better because he played first? I don't think so. and I never said Rose was the best PG in the league that was a different user. I got to go with Deron Williams as the best Point Guard right now.

[ironMagicJohnson32]

@celtssoxpatsbrurevs Well I'm just saying most players would probably say Magic was the best PG to play. Yes Paul was a Laker/Magic fan growing up... With the whole Russell and Jordan thing you said. People kind of judge the two on the eras they have played in. Jordan in his prime could probably average 40 ppg with today's defensive rules... Lets say you switch the 80s Celts team with Russell and Cousy.. Would they win 11 rings going up against Magic, Dr. J, Malone, Bad Boys?

@2pacisthebest90 dont do the could of should of game...come on

[celtssoxpatsbrurevs]

@2pacisthebest90 in 83-84 dont bring up the4 injured thing. because I can throw that back at you about the celtics in 87. Mchale BROKEN foot, Walton basically broken leg. Bird bad back...If the celts were healthy in 87 they would have beat LA. Detroit beat the crap out of you phisically. detroit inovated defense..they would have won regardless.

[celtssoxpatsbrurevs]

@2pacisthebest90 magic avg. 7.7 rbounds for he carrear. SO HE didnt have the tripple double.

How is russell overrated? LOL..you are a bandwagon fan. So your gona blame the past for not having the internet..lol..If there was no russell. Who was the games ambassador would the league expand??. Yes or no...mj didnt just appear...
