KG two missed free throws are you serious?
Hopefully Perkins will be able to play next game.
Who would you say is the player of the game?
they said before game that he was out for this one and the next.
I thought it was a wait and see type thing. That actually concerns me.
I'm getting the sinking feeling that the Lakers can steal Game 6..I need to marinate on this and see if that is the way I'm going to bet.
Unbelievable
Ray Allen fouls out
KG: 5 fouls
PP: 5 fouls
NBA wanted this Game 6 to happen.
See you in Boston. Lakers still have not impressed me at all but they got this one. I said Celts in 6 and it will go down like that. This series should have had a broom involved.
Shit they stole Game 5. These guys should be ashamed of themselves. Leads of 19 then 14 in the 4th quarter and you almost lose to a team with the whole team in foul trouble or hurt. What have the Lakers done to say they will win in Boston? Someone give me 3 good reasons.
Yep, it will be a better celebration if/when Boston wins on their home court.
**Waiting for the Kobe fans to say that he single-handedly willed them to victory.**
1.) David Stern wants it that way.
2.) The ratings bonanza of a Game Seven.
3.) Saying that a Kobe-led Laker team was the first team in history to win a title after being in a 3-1 hole.

If they had lost what would the Kobe haters be saying
mr. hartman, don't you have a post game show to do?
lets see what skip bayless says about KG on monday.
skip bayless is the modern day nastradamus
"Garnot"
Pretty much the same things that they have been saying about dude.
What matters to me is that I called the winner of all five games so far. This one will be interesting. I will think about this while I eating my blueberry muffins with an equal amount of blueberries in them tomorrow
I want the Lakers to win just because of comments like this. The Lakers dont need Shaq for shit.
Kobe did foul Pierce
and would they be correct?
Sniff...Sniff...
I smell home cooking...
KG chokes
Nice steal by Kobe in a crucial situation...the first I can remember.
Pierce is the Truth
Posey....well, I've said it all along.
Cassell showed up....
Nice job by the refs to get the Celts in the penalty
Phil left Fisher and Odom in with game on the line.
Game 6...
I will just wait for Rothstien....I mean Rollie to fill me in....
Thats why I like his blueberry muffins
i don't care about a foul or no-call on that play.
when you are put in a position to have a notorious turnover machine like paul pierce handling the ball, all bets are off.
fakers got a big win at home. next.
Tiger Woods is the Next Jordan...In the case that he plays selfish at times? Yes.
Kobe?...The latest Pippen
What I liked about the foul discrepancy is that the refs tried to balance it out at the end to make it look like they called a fair one.
True, however those two ticky tacks were a bit questionable.
Down here the Heat used to call him "Knick Bavetta"
KG didn't play well, but it was Rondo that cost them the game. If he had an average game, they would have won. The papers in Boston are crucifying him right now. KG has a bad game every series, and he follows up with two above average ones. He still hasn't had that one great one in the playoffs this year.
I think Doc made a mistake starting Powe over P.J. Hopefully next game he starts him over Powe and Perkins can get limited minutes. Having Powe in the game forced KG to play center. We all agree that he can't do that for extended periods.
True this. KG seemd to let the moment get to him.
I'm leaning towards the Lakers in Game 6. I need to see tomorrows paper to be see how the practice went. (I scan both the Boston and L.A. newspapers.)
This is the one time I think Boston should blow the Lakers out the water.
I also see that Ray Allen had a family emergency and had to leave right after the game.
In the case that he plays selfish at times? Yes.
I agree
Pierce seems to dribble high...easy pickings
However,KG had three free throws that would have made a hugh difference...
Next
how you gonna agree with that seeing as Pierce almost single handedly won the game for the Celtics, if you got a man that has scored 38 points (most on drives to the hole) and assisted on about 16 others then him having the ball in his hands is the only logical decision
no, getting the ball in his hands is the only logical decision.
since you probably aren't aware, let me fill you in on a couple things.
paul pierce was the celtics team leader in TOs this season. almost DOUBLE the amount of the next man. not really a good look for coach rivers having paul pierce take over the ball handling responsibilities.
paul pierce has been in the league 10 years. 5 of those he was in the NBA'S TOP TEN in TOs . putting the ball in his hands as a ball handler is placing your team in a precarious position.
this is the SAME decision (mistake?) coach rivers faced in the cleveland series. coach rivers lost faith in rajan rondo's ability to perform in that series, so he went with ray allen. this series, coach rivers lost faith in rajan rondo's ability to perform and he has tapped paul pierce.
paul pierce has been having his way (in terms of scoring) most of the series against the fakers. so i would want the ball in his hands FOR SCORING, but NOT ball handling.
