The Lakers did what they had to do, and they took the rock to the rim.
Sasha provided a HUGE lift off the bench.
Pau and Odom were trash, at least they made a few plays down the stretch.
Fuck P.J. Brown.
Ray Allen shouldn't score so many points. He was 5 out of 5 from three point land at one point.
KG and Pierce were shut down, excellent!
Fuck P.J. Brown.
Oh, and the game would have been a blow out had Kobe and Pau made their free throws.
M-V-P! M-V-P!
Shitty thing for LA is Pierce and KG will come out of a 1 game funk... Gasol and Odom have looked like shit for three games and I don't see that changing. Based on how bad Boston played, and still had a chance to take it in the final minutes, I can't see the Lakers taking 3 in LA. And they will not win 2 in Boston, so to put it simply.... Series over.
But are they? Gasol and Odom were in a funk, as were KG and Pierce, so it evened out in the end. The team with fewer players in funks will come out on the top.
Series over
My friend, with people like you, I'm glad they play the games instead of leaving it up to the so called "experts."

I'm no expert... I'm just saying I don't see how LA takes 3 of the next 4 (two of which are in Boston).
Also Pierce and KG were only off the first game in LA, Gasol and Odom haven't shown up yet this series (with the exception of one quarter for Gasol in Game 2).
So in my non-expert opinion... I don't think LA can take either of the Boston games... Series Over.

It is going to be a battle, LA are no slouches. But in the end, I predict Boston to win in 7.

How about that game???!!!
The Celtics just finished one of the greatest comebacks in NBA Finals History. In fact, the first team to comeback when trailing by 21 in the first quarter. Give it up to the Celtics defense who after playing like shit in the first half, came out and shut down the lakers in the second. Celtics lead 3-1 baby!!!!!!!
Unbelievable.
BEAT L.A.!!!! BEAT L.A.!!!! BEAT L.A.!!!!

If you give away a 24 point lead, you deserve to lose.

Not all the time Archie. The Celtics nearly blew a 24 point lead in game, yet still held on to win.
What a game! What a comeback! What a win!
How about Kobe throwing his teammates under the bus in the post-game press conference? Looks like Curt Schilling may have been right. Kobe may be a great player, but he's far from a great leader.
Anyway, this night belongs to the Celtics. A win of historic proportions. One more to go.
Go C's!!!

anyone ever watch ESPN's First Take or 1st and 10?
Skip Bayless has always been dead on about Kobe but most laugh in his face.
he says the thing that makes it impossible for him to be in the same sentence as Micheal Jordan is the fact he is a primadonna and isnt a good leader.
Curt Schilling said Kobe was cursing his teammates and just acting awful.
U know how hard it is to have confidence and play with someone like that?
I think this series is making Kobe look very overrated. He is a great player but Im not sure he has had one good game in this series.
I have argued in the past and I keep going back and forth, but I believe Lebron James is better than Kobe.
Lebron took boston 7 with a much worse team.

Boston is a cheap team, I can't believe the Lake show is rolling over the way they are.
Ok, Boston WAS a cheap team. I can't dis them after the way they came back. Good for them for smelling the victory and going for it.

D, I totally agree with you, Lebron is definitely better than Kobe. No doubt.

Let's give the Celtic defense a little credit for Kobe's struggles. He played pretty well in game 3 but was pretty much held in check. Is he better than LeBron. That's debateable. But let's not forget how much James struggled the first 3 or 4 games of that series. People were saying similar things about him then.
I really think it comes down to matchups. Atlanta gave Boston fits with their extreme athleticism. Cleveland gave them trouble with their toughness. This is a bad matchup for the Lakers. The Celtics are more athletic, tougher, and more aggressive. Everyone seems to love the Western Conference with all the offense, but as the saying goes "defense wins championshis". Lakers are a very good offensive team that has clicked for about 4 quarters in this series. They've been neutralized the rest of the way.
And on a sidenote, something most Celtic fans couldn't have expected. Doc Rivers has completely outcoached and outclassed the "Zen Master". They've outscored the Lakers coming out of halftime in the 3rd quarter by more than 8 points in each game this series. Doc has ran circles around Phil.
With all that being said, still one more win to go.
Go C's!!!

Excellent game last night boys and girls!
Had to love Kobe's foul on Pierce with 45.6 seconds left in the 4th quarter
Pierce sold it absolutely perfectly

I fell asleep early last nite thinking LA had game 4 in the bag...apparently not!
I read in the last 5 minutes it was a 21-3 run for Boston. Lakers blew a 24 point lead. Holy shit!!

This has been Kobe's MO since day 1. He is a team cancer. Look at the termoil he caused when the lakers were at the top of their game durring the Championship run...
I think it is laughable to compare him to Jordan.

He was selling it before there was even contact.
I wonder how well Lebron would do on a team with someone like Shaq or Gasol?

If Lebron were on LA instead of Kobe, they would win the title.
Remember Kobe against Phoenix in that game 7 when he took zero shots in the 2nd half..........

D, Lebron is amazing, but I'm just not sold on LA's supporting cast. As much as the NBA is about the "stars," you still need either multiple stars or a solid supporting cast. It seems Boston's got all the above this year. A core of Garnett and Pierce is definitely imposing.

True, Gasol was always a bit overrated in Memphis and basically LA are behind cause they play shit defense and Boston have the best defense.
Kobe however, hasnt been spectacular.
Ive always thought Odom was one of the most overrated players EVER.
Still
Look at Cleveland. they have nothing remotely resembling Gasol or Odom and they took Boston 7.
Im still not sold on LA.
With Bynum back, they need to ship Odom for a defensive stopper and a 6th man.
Im not sure Odom,Gasol and Bynum can all three co exist.
that would knock Odom down to a 4th option.....

If only Odom did have as much he did in the first half.
Pau Gasol has a limp wrist and uses an umbrella as his primary mode of transportation.

I dont think its really fair to trash Pau Gasol cause he is dealing with one of the all time greatest defenders of all time in KG. Tim Duncan struggles against KG.
the blame is on Kobe.
He was 9-26 I think in game 1 which is attrocious, only 6-19 in the game 4 loss.

I agree with Curt Schilling that Kobe is a great player, but horrible leader....he is also NO Michael Jordan.....for a few reasons...first off Michael Jordan would have never let that happen last night....and another Michael Jordan would not have lost to Detroit in 04 with Shaq, Malone, Fisher, and Payton on his team....
