I think so.

Pierce goes out and the Lakers get outscored?

Kobe shoots in the mid 30%? And 4 points in the fourth quarter.

Not looking good right now.

KG looked pretty amazing.

I hope Kobe wins and gets the respect he deserves....

Kobe 08 > Kobe 06

He has matured and I respect him for that...

KG amazing after missing 7 straight in the 4th? You're a worry wart DDD. The Lakers played pretty poorly and were still in it. Kobe played horribly, the Lakers shot poorly. I never saw so many shots rattle in and out in a game. Those rims were tight.

The only KG play I remember from Game 1 was the monster put back off Posey's missed 3. Two clutch free throws didnt hurt, either.

I hope I am wrong....but those are the same rims they are going to use on Sunday.

I am just giving the Celtics their due. They looked shaky all post-season, but played well tonight. They are a good team.

Kobe shot like crap tonight.

The refs are letting both teams play pretty aggressively. I saw Celtics tugging on Laker jerseys and Lakers tugging on Celtic jerseys, both teams hacking each other, etc...and the refs let them play. I actually prefer this way.

I only saw about 5 minutes of the game, but I still say Lakers in 6.

The Celtics were the better team tonight. They deserved to win. The Lakers had opportunities but couldn't throw a brick in the ocean in the 4th quarter.

I liked the physicality too. Unfortunately that style hurts the Lakers. Pau is soft. Lamar doesn't finish strong all the time either. And if Kobe isn't getting calls he's going to get frustrated and try and force things kind of like he did tonight.

Should be a decent series. I am with Rocky. Lakers in 6. But I think tonight's game was theirs to steal. Especially with all the rest they would have before Sunday's game.

Why does Kobe cry during sex?

Because mace will do that to you.

If Boston can keep the Laker's shooting 41% and play the type of defense they played last night, they'll keep winning.

I don't think they'll be able to do both for all four home games, and I don't think they'll take a game in LA.

Pierce won't hit 75% from 3 again this series, and won't sniff 70% from the field.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this go 7, but the Lakers had better start getting a better effort. They need to get to some of those loose balls.
