Great game Lakers. Unfortunately scrubs like Turiaf will do them in. Celts will win in 7. Big bucks for Stern and ABC.

Word of the week is still split.

Damn..Lakers played a REALLY bad 4th quarter. And Kobe needs to stop with the freaking jumpers. FFS. We damn near stole that game, then all hell broke down. They failed to take advantage when PP went down for a bit...they tightened, didn't score, then he came back and fueled a nice comeback.

For those saying there "is no rivalry" you can go pound sand. This is a rivalry. This is going to be a fun freaking series. That's one of the most exciting games I've watched in a long...long time. Nothing does it like a Lakers/Celtics series. NOTHING.

Dude, this isn't the 1980's. This hasn't been a rivalry in a long time. The teams in the 1980's were dynasties. You can't get that back. Not with these teams. One could actually make the arguement that these two teams, especially the Lakers, are the least talented of the Championship Lakers/ Celtics teams. These teams met twice a year for 20 years until now. I will agree that it will be a fun series though, as long as the Lakers scrubs...err role players show up.

LOL, and throughout the season, Lakers fans were banging their chests what a great teammate and player he is.

I'm not a Lakers fan. I just want to fit in at Arizona Sports Fans Network so I rock Lakers avatars and sigs.

Do we look as stupid as bandwagon Lakers fans living in Phoenix that double as Cardinals fans? If so I know what you mean. We must look pretty dumb.

I thought it was a pathetic game by the Lakers.

Terrible boxing out resulting in a poor rebounding %.
Too many jumpshots.
Out hustled on most loose balls.
Awful free throw shooting in clutch situations.
And kobe had an awful game shoothing... waited way to long to take it to the hole.

With that said, as bad as they played, there were still in the game late on the Celts home floor.

We will see a different Laker team in game 2.

For those saying the loss is on Turiaf. Well your just plain foolish and obviously know nothing about bball.

And for those of you who argue its not a rivalry. You just don't get it and never will. However, it seems the teams, the players old and new, the real fans, the sports websites, and the networks ALL disagree. But you keep on hating and dreaming of having a rivalry of your own. :D

Thank you for bringing sense into this conversation. 20yrs + without competing for a title isn't a rivalry...it's nostalgia.
