Better than the Warriors, only reason the Warriors crowds sounded so loud at Oracle was because the arena was smaller, and the seats hovered over the court, making it seem louder than it was. Kind of like the Seattle Seahawks stadium.
Bruh, Kobe is not getting double team at all, you all so delusional. If you talk about pick and roll screenplay that double team ball handler, that is just standard team play for some teams.
Crazy how despite Leon Powe’s and The Truth’s excellence, the Lakers still nearly came back down 20 in the 4th. The fact that it was on the road makes it more impressive.
I’m a Lakers fan, but first off I appreciate that a Celtics fan uploading this video did highlights of both teams. Second this was a great Celtics team I know this core only won one title, but that 2008 squad was one of the all time great championship teams. I remember this series well although Boston was the better team the Lakers still were competitive for five games despite missing their starting center Andrew Bynum. Then in Game 6 the Celtics just dominated the Lakers it was one of the worst defeats in Lakers and Finals history. Hard to believe it’s been nearly 15 years later since this series in 2008 the Celtics are a legitimate title contender in 2023 while the Lakers are going to have to fight to just get into the play in tournament and if they advance best case is we’re a 7th or 8th seed in all likelihood. I’d love to see these two historic franchises meet again in the Finals, but I don’t see it this season. Boston is the favorite along with Milwaukee in the East, but the Lakers will likely lose in the first round even if they get into the playoffs. Who knows perhaps they can make some big moves in the summer and get back into title contention. We shall see.
This dude Phil Jackson really had the Lakers playing with 3-4 white boys on the court at the same time lol As Rondo said to Kobe, "You ain't got any niggas with you, you out there by yo self!"
A healthy 2008 Boston Celtics vs. Healthy 2008 LA Lakers was a great game NBA finals unlike 2010 finals was downfall competition because of the celtic players were from injuries esp the lost of James Posey. 2008 Boston Celtics > 2010 Boston Celtics.
@Truth Teller Lol Playoff Formats don’t decide champions Players and Injuries decide champions Lakers hade injuries all year Lakers wasn’t at full strength Boston WAS at full strength Healthy Bynum, it’s 4-2 Lakers in 2008 & 2010 Bynum played INJURED in 2010 Finals also Don’t give me that Kendrick Perkins injury excuse. KP didn’t matter, he was trash 🗑
@Truth Teller Kendrick Perkins is the Second coming of Bill Russell, right? Lol Delusional Celtics Fans Kendrick Perkins & especially Big Baby Davis was trash 🗑 buddy Lakers>Celtics
@Truth Teller Celtics won in 2008 due to Bynum’s injury 2010 NBA Finals went 7 games due to Lakers injuries. Bynum & Kobe played the series INJURED Both teams healthy, Lakers win both series in 6. 2009 with Healthy KG Celtics get to the finals, but STILL Lose to the Lakers in 6.
@Truth Teller Bynum avg 13pts, 10rebs & 2Blks in 2008. Bynum didn’t play in 2008 Finals. Insert Bynum in starting lineup with that stat line & put Odom as the 6th man... Lol Laker in 6 fam
@Truth Teller Lakers team was deep and talented in 2008-2010. Ask a Bronsexual lol, he would tell you. Plus the Lakers had the best player in the league at the time. Gasol used to give KG that work tho lol Boston had 3 aging superstars and a emerging star PG and nothing much else. Celtics wasn’t a deep team. East Coast fans like to overrate their fav teams role players. Lakers roster had more talent than Celtics roster barring injury.
Yep, 30 to 10 ft disparity and Powe had more free throw attempts than the whole lakers team with 13. He only had 21 for the whole series. The refs weren't going to let the Lakers win game 2.
Boston vs. Lakers game 2
Still watching 💪💪💪 August 4, 2o23
What a crowd. The crowds in the '08 and '18 runs were pretty close to Warriors level
Gonna be the closest since 2010 now that they are gonna go to the finals
@@woo_shynen8805 they could beat the warriors
Better than the Warriors, only reason the Warriors crowds sounded so loud at Oracle was because the arena was smaller, and the seats hovered over the court, making it seem louder than it was. Kind of like the Seattle Seahawks stadium.
Lakers needed another big in the paint to contest. Bynum!
The crowd used to watch the game. They were not constantly being distracted by their phones. Good old normal days 😔
Kobe really bring this team to the finals lol salute to the mamba only player that was double teamed every time he touch the ball
Bruh, Kobe is not getting double team at all, you all so delusional. If you talk about pick and roll screenplay that double team ball handler, that is just standard team play for some teams.
The Lakers were a good team this year. It wasn't just Kobe
RIP Kobe
Wow celts were stackked
So stacked people downplay who kobe had to go thru way harder competition compared to bron n mj
The truth 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy how despite Leon Powe’s and The Truth’s excellence, the Lakers still nearly came back down 20 in the 4th. The fact that it was on the road makes it more impressive.
commendable defense throughout the season
My Celtics has never lost a game 2 until they faced lebron in 2011.

Nah fam, a Celtics Lakers final is very much possible now.

Hmm how about Bynum and ariza not playing because of injury...lakers were missing 2 starters
@@moizrana6145
I was about to say the same thing man. 💯
The 2010 series went the full 7 with both teams dealing with injuries. Face it, every year there's gonna be injuries. That's just the way it is
The 08 Celtics were way better then 2010 because their big 3 was still in their prime
My Celtics has never lost a game 2 until 2011.
Healthy Bynum= Lakers 2nd 3peat
@Truth Teller
Lol
Playoff Formats don’t decide champions
Players and Injuries decide champions
Lakers hade injuries all year
Lakers wasn’t at full strength
Boston WAS at full strength
Healthy Bynum, it’s 4-2 Lakers in 2008 & 2010
Bynum played INJURED in 2010 Finals also
Don’t give me that Kendrick Perkins injury excuse. KP didn’t matter, he was trash 🗑

Celtics won in 2008 due to Bynum’s injury
2010 NBA Finals went 7 games due to Lakers injuries.
Bynum & Kobe played the series INJURED
Both teams healthy, Lakers win both series in 6.
2009 with Healthy KG Celtics get to the finals, but STILL Lose to the Lakers in 6.

kulang sa big man ang lakers wlang pamalit kay pau gasol
The game was rigged for the celtics to win.
I dont think so, the lakers was blow out by 22 by the end of 3rd. would agree with you if this was a close game
