It's no use entering your sports threads because you're dead set against the teams you don't like and always root for socal, it's ok.

Boston was the best team in the league from day one of the season and it was their year.

michaeljohn

You obviously didn't follow the power rankings all season long. Boston was not on top (therefore the best) from day one. Many times, several teams were ahead of them. Quite a few teams had a turn at the lead, and they rightly deserved it. Lakers were even number 1 before the Gasol trade, right when Bynum went down. Had they kept the power rankings going into the playoffs, Boston would have been #8 after the first round. If you posted anything substantive to back up your claim to show you knew something about the sport, you too would have some credibility.

Dead set against teams I don't like? I have clearly stated many times I don't like but two teams in professional or college sports and that's it. The rest I like, or don't care about. If Boston hadn't have stumbled so badly in the first two rounds, I wouldn't have been riding them so much in here. Clearly, they deserved the roasting they got, and this is why everyone in the country picked the Lakers. Boston should have had the 12-3 record going into the finals and not the Lakers. LA could have been at 12-8 due to the competition in the west. Had this been the case, then Celtics would have been the overwhelming favorites.

The only other SoCal team I have heavily promoted is the USC Trojans. Since they have been in the title hunt for several years, supporting them is logical. They don't always make it to the title game, but they did win the Rose Bowl convincingly against a certain proven overrated conference from the midwest the last two seasons....Your "no use entering your sports threads" argument fails. For now, it's just your opinion.

Power rankings?? lol. Useless. Just like the NFL. The only power ranking worth mentioning is a teams record. That will tell you everything you need to know.

michaeljohn

way wrong. a team's record shows aggregate season, current injuries or trades do not appear in the standings. Power ranking shows how a team is doing currently. This is why the Lakers were overwhelming favorites before the series. Meanwhile, is this your first post since the SuperBowl? Brady is still running! see below.

Yes O' powerful mod. And I can tell that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong but... If the power rankings showed the Lakers as an overwhelming favorite, it kinda proves my point.

And nevermind Brady, he'll be fine. How'd YOUR team do?

michaeljohn

You know, the reason I win arguments here is because I do my research. It has nothing to with me being a mod. If you bothered to read this thread, you would have seen this issue addressed:

By your rationalization, Boston would have won every year after the Russell era that they had the league best record, but they didn't. There is a lot of failure on the Celtic's part in the past in the above link, look at it.

Yeah, my team lost to your team, congrats. I stuck around and am facing the music. After the Patriots choked, you disappeared rather than show your face. I didn't even care about the SuperBowl. I just find it funny you chose this moment to return. Actually, no I don't. It's already public knowledege you are a Celtic Bandwagon fan. http://forums.webrats.com/post2619226-17.html

Yeah, my team will be back, will yours?

you also pimp the Angels a lot

I'll admit I didn't watch any of the season cause I had other things going on. But before the season even started it was Boston's title to win or lose.

I don't hate the lakers, I've cheered for them before. It was nice when they first started winning with Shaq. I wanted them to win with Malone and Payton (only after making it past the Wolves first) so they could have their rings. Both of those teams got outplayed, period.

michaeljohn

Actually, I think I pormote the Rally monkey and its website more than the Angels, along with the fact they own the Yankees over the Torre era more than promoting the Angel team. They have been pretty damn good since 2002, but the Rally Monkey seems to have seen better days. In 2002 he rocked!

Back to basketball, and a question for a T-Wolves fan. Are you happy with what you received from Boston in the Garnett trade? Honestly. Or would you have rather had what the Lakers offered, Bynum and Odom? Myself, I am glad the deal we offered didn't go down. Bynum came into his own, and the addition of Gasol made Odom a more versatile player for the Laker team. Kobe, Bynum, Gasol, and Odom, > Kobe and Garnett, plus maybe Gasol. We only went for Gasol when Bynum went down, another team probably would have gotten him instead. I know Phoenix was after him before the Lakers got him.

BWAHAHA

Fuckin' drinkalot, the beantown bandwagoneer, finally shows his face on the board 4 months after his beloved Patriots take it in the shorts.
But only after the Celtics, that he didn't give two shits to Sunday about until maybe last month, beat LA in the finals.

pathetic, dude.

having said that I'm sorry The Lakers went down, but it was pretty much foregone after game 4 when they blew that huge lead they built up, and then in game 5 when they blew another huge lead I could see that Boston really was only playing game five half-assed so they could win in the Garden and have their big celebration.

Like michaeljohn said - The Celtics wanted it more and played for it (just like the NY Giants did, BTW) and that is what makes a championship team.

Did I say something to offend you? I hope so but I didnt mean to.
Did I come in here beating my chest about my beloved Celtics? no. And your right, I am a bandwagon Celtics fan ok? Get over it.

I didn't expect the Celts to win, I mean holy shit! Did you see the power rankings??!! They had no shot. But we'll take it.


Y'all have a nice day.

cubiche

didnt really care who won. props to the celtics for winning, but they have 3 superstars so its kind of hard to not win with that much talent. its cool they're not big headed and are willing to work together.

BackdoorJesus

Nope - I am hardly offended by your ilk; I could give a shit about you and even less about what you think...you're just getting the abuse that you were due four months ago when your Patriots lost & you ran into hiding like a little girl.

Now that you can finally man up & rear your arrogant head around here once more you're just getting some postponed payback for being such an enormous douchebag during the football season.

Beyond that, live well & go with God, my friend.

heh heh you're OK in my book Drinky, I just felt the need to serve you up a nice helping of humble pie a la mode seeing as you finally came back to the boards after your Patriots' crushing defeat earlier this year

Remember I'm a Raiders fan - seems I get nothing out of football but schadenfreude these days.
