TP! Let's go Celtics! Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!!!
TP FLCF.
In no time at all you'll have a ton of TPs again
;)
looks like bynum will play...but i dont expect much from him ala game 4
i'm calling this game a blowout... we are bound to gel together for one game, and i just have a feeling it's this one. the reason why is that our success on offense will energize the defense. kobe's still gassed and bynum will be a non-issue. odom is off his sugar high, and gasol is having a ton of problems on offense. DONE.Bold statement. Here's a Tommy Point with your name on it.
C's 104, L's 81.
C's gotta stop walking this tightrope...They better not come out timid just because it isn't a Must-win game...My nerves can't handle this style of play.
Just for once, destroy the opponent the next 2 games...Ray's legs have rested enough--Time for Rondo to ATTACK the entire time he's in there (he's only had 1 good game in 4)...Paul must also attack the rim at every opportunity...Oh, and as for the bench---how about showing up 2 games in a row and surprise us all.
Come out strong!!--the Lakers look like they are starting to crack--arguing amongst themselves a bit.
Don't worry about my boy Ray.

This is it!
Nervous. Optimistic. Nervously optimistic? Optimistically nervous?
I'm going with the earlier posts of a blowout .. team still hasn't all fired at the same time yet. Frustrate Gasol, minimise Kobe, go to work.
Beat L.A.!
Here's too our entire team showing up and us crushing them.
Everywhere I look, espn, nba , everyone is picking lakers and I don't know why!
I hope for a great game, similar to the previous one. We have a better bench, better defense, better home crowd, more momentum and motivation for this is a must must win game at home.
BEAT L.A. BABY!!!!
I've got my good luck glass of scotch and my authentic KG St. Patty's Day jersey on and I'm ready.
ARE YOU READY?!?!?!!!!

LET'S GO
CELTICS!!!
Before this thread becomes hard to post in, Let's go Celtics.
Bury them early.
Nice movement

>...and way to run. I like how this game has started
For the TP Pledge thread, I am trying to stay at exactly 18 TPs until the Celtics win the title.
If you want to give me a TP before then, thanks for the thought, but for the time being please just send money instead.
Garnet can take gasol all day inside...bynum is killing perk
Sorry but I'm REALLY frustrated with Perk.
What is going on? His offensive game is absolutely stagnant (has been for many games) and now he's getting destroyed by an injured Bynum that he should really be able to cover.
Would we have any better luck with Sheed? I even think Sheed might be worse.
Yeah, I'd like to see Sheed enter the game. Perk is bringing nothing to the table here in the first 7 minutes.Sorry but I'm REALLY frustrated with Perk.

Sheed has played excellent D this series. Could slide KG onto Bynum--he could handle him enough and Sheed on Pau who he has guarded wonderfully.
allen, KG and PP all with one foul each already.....have the lakers been called for a foul yet??
Question: how did that Faker fan get courtside seats? Near the Boston bench no less. ::)
Question: how did that Faker fan get courtside seats? Near the Boston bench no less. ::)
Can't judge that call until we see the replay...IF we see the replay.
But Pierce seemed to think he got all ball.
No conspiracy theory guy here, but what do the Lakers have, 1 personal foul so far?yep
No conspiracy theory guy here, but what do the Lakers have, 1 personal foul so far?
What the hell Perk?!
No conspiracy theory guy here, but what do the Lakers have, 1 personal foul so far?
yup....fisher has 5 FTs...perk has 2 fouls,,,the big three one a piece.....lakers have on foul on kobe
a makeup call of sorts---well, evening out those bad one's on PP, but i'll take it.
It feels like half of LA's points are second chance baskets.

Paul was in position, it was an offensive foul

hahaha Tony.
I always cringe with each jump but I enjoy it when it goes down...
Perk draws foul running 1-man fastbreak.Pierce to Perk: "What are you doing?"
Sheed dominating on D right nowSheed is off to a great start. On the road to another impressive showing.
lakers look like the older team right now....
Sheed dominating on D right nowSheed is off to a great start. On the road to another impressive showing.
It's great to see him play defense at the moment. Very happy with Rasheed.
the bench continues to play like thursday. nate and rasheed are such great pickups
Ray Allen needs to start playing or take a seat on the bench.
Its getting ridiculous. We are better off with Nate Robinson on the court than Ray Allen right now.

Ray Allen needs to start playing or take a seat on the bench.sadly he got hit right in the hands under the basket with a nice pass and fumbled it almost out of bounds a couple of plays ago. He just doesn't seem into it tonight
Its getting ridiculous. We are better off with Nate Robinson on the court than Ray Allen right now.
I'm not liking that the C's can't get FTs. That's horrid. We have NO FREE THROWS to the Lakers' 8.
Also, Perk needs to stop fumbling the ball.
Lakers have 9 points off turnovers, and I haven't kept track but a ton of second chance points--we're gifting them back into the game.I think it's 8 second chance points. So that's 17 points off of effort plays.
Can we go the whole half without a free throw?
Nice foul by Artest on Garnett.
Stupid reaction by Rajon Rondo. Lucky he only got a technical.
Any time you raise your hands and initiate physical contact you are liable to getting ejected.Nice foul by Artest on Garnett.
Stupid reaction by Rajon Rondo. Lucky he only got a technical.
As opposed to what? A technical may be merited there but what else would you call that he was lucky to get away with? A T, fine. nothing more could realistically be called there.
and hey we got some free throwS!!

I don't like it but that's the way it is.
Gasol was trying to get a double T. Yes Phil, your team doesn't do that stuff ::)that's exactly what they'll keep trying to do the rest of this game and the next
Enough is enough. Sit Ray Allen.
Ray is playing great D on Kobe and, regardless of his misses, he's still the best shooter in the history of the game. As long as he's D-ing up Kobe, I want him on the floor.
Pau should've gotten a tech by the refereeing standards with the way he carried on (swinging his arms and elbows) after the tip-in.
Ray is killing us. His defense on Kobe has been superb. So at least we're keeping him out there for that. But what has happened to his shot?
I know you can never blame a loss of a game or series on one person...but if we go on to lose this game/series and he continues to stink up the joint with his shot...I don't care what anyone says, it's a HUGE factor.

ray cannot guard kobe and be a pure shooter..too tiring kobe is tough to guard
ray has to get his head in the offensive end
These refs are awesome.
Kobe was in the circle and moving. garbage call. dumb play by Rondo too. should have kicked it to PP
ron artest = most over-rated player in the nba.
Glad they are up 6, bt man what a sloppy quarter. Should be up 15 at least. Rondo's turnovers singlehandedly keeping Lakers in the game and once again they get ZERO at the end of both the first and second quarters. I have never seen a team that runs worse plays at the end of a quarter than this one.
If they cut the turnovers they should win this one.

time to change the channel in time for this pathetic fisher segment.
well, before you blame rondo for turnovers..we all wanted him to psh it....who is running with him.....TA will...sheldon would...bbd will...not many others.....
*scratches head* 2 questions: How are we only up 6, and how the hell are we even up 6?
take away the turnovers on the second half
Pau Gasol has been a non-factor offensively. Not playing well.And still it's only 5 point game. Any of this guys can wake up in the second half.
Kobe Bryant struggled for most of that half too. Lamar Odom had another non-showing. Fisher, Artest and Farmer are all struggled offensively.
Not much going on for LA on the offensive end of the court. Things looking good for Boston.
that was weak from Ron Artest. Hes the guy that says he would never take a charge
Pierce was hot & our All star (Rondo) decides to takes contested layup inside on one possession, and a little too late for the last second shot.
Every play in second half should run for Pierce. He should run the team.
No because Tony Allen can play better defense than Allen, and do the same on the offensive end.

Am I the only person who saw that Rondo tried to get him the ball?
2 of rondos turnovers were passes to perk..better to shoot the three..
Magic Johnson praising the Celtics!!! :o
BTW, did anybody else hear Breen say Kobe wasn't shooting well because "he's been double and triple-teamed all series!" Ell Oh Ell.Breen is a clown.
Keep running the offense through Pierce and start getting defensive rebounds. We will win.
2 of rondos turnovers were passes to perk..better to shoot the three..
Yes -- Rondo should never be really looking to pass to Perk unless he is all alone under the basket with no Lakers within 15 feet.
BTW, did anybody else hear Breen say Kobe wasn't shooting well because "he's been double and triple-teamed all series!" Ell Oh Ell.
Paul's hoops -- two came on poor shot-contests by Lamar Odom on switches + one on Walton late + a layup to begin the game + another long jumper off a pick and roll over Bynum I think it was. Don't recall the other two baskets.He hit a three off of ball movement off a shot fake.
Pierce has played fantastic on both ends of the court, including some great team defense that won't show up in the box score.
Ray needs to get going.
Rondo needs to get his head the game.
Perkins needs to play or sit down.
Now let's keep feeding the hot hand in the second half.
all that and gasol still has zero fouls...what a joke....we need to play through KG....
BTW, did anybody else hear Breen say Kobe wasn't shooting well because "he's been double and triple-teamed all series!" Ell Oh Ell.
I heard that too. Is that guy not paying attention or what? Kobe is being defended mostly 1-on-1 out there.
So, still not a lot against Artest in one-on-one situations but outstanding work in pick and rolls. So that's where they should continue to attack with Paul in the second half.Paul's hoops -- two came on poor shot-contests by Lamar Odom on switches + one on Walton late + a layup to begin the game + another long jumper off a pick and roll over Bynum I think it was.

how many fouls does gasol have for the whole series..come on stats guys....
I would like to see a halftime piece on Ray Allen. Not saying anything bad about Fisher's daughter with cancer, but Ray's son Walker has juvenile diabetes. *shrug* It's just as important.
Need to take care of the ball more than anything. The D has been excellent, and the offense not bad when we actually get a shot off.
Lame attempt from ABC during halftime show to make Fisher look like a nice guy. ::)
how many fouls does gasol have for the whole series..come on stats guys....
Kobe has gotten about 6 cheap calls on both offense and defense. He's shooting about 40% in the series and without all the babying from the officials he would struggle to look like an average NBA player. Like LeBron. Like Wade. Like Howard.
It's a team game.
If only the officials would call the game even, we would BLOW THEM OUT!
Can the celtics get perkins a shot? It would get him some confidence, maybe draw some fouls and if it effective open things up for ray ray

13fouls through 18 quarters. Ridiculous amount
I don't bother with the halftime shows anymore. Their little segments are pathetic and so are their analysts.
Routinely embarrassing productions from ESPN during these pre-game + halftime + post-game shows. Can't stand them.
Lame attempt from ABC during halftime show to make Fisher look like a nice guy. ::)
Oh come on. Fisher is nothing if not a good guy.
You don't think he can take it to an injured bynum? do the baby hook? his mobility is terribleCan the celtics get perkins a shot? It would get him some confidence, maybe draw some fouls and if it effective open things up for ray ray
Sorry, but the less Perk touches the ball, the better off the Celtics are.

He can't catch a cold. A pass to Perkins has an 80 percent chance of becoming a turnover.
Getting Perkins a shot isn't on my radar at all.
Gasol has 2 points. :)
Rondo as our enforcer?I would to hear what Johnny Most would have said about that.
Did you see Artest flop on that push?

Ray waited too long to make the outlet to Rondo and then Rondo tried to make something where nothing was there.

We need to put Tony on him
Lovely rejection by Garnett
And now, for our soccer fans, imagine this game with the constant sound of 1000 Vuvuzelas...
:-\

Gasol is always bumping Perk to get him a T... lame. He should get one himself, and alone.
hey, Ray's at least hitting the close-in shots.
So let me get this straight, Kobe has gone off for like what? 17 points this quarter? And we've expanded the lead to 13? Wow.
Jeez...Rondo has had a great game but a terrible game at the same time. What kind of a pass was that?

vandundy calls goal tending on everything...i could hate gundy..and these fools....stooges, van gundy is moe....larry curly...
Wow, what a block from Tony Allen.
Special, special athlete. Freak of nature athleticism.
TONY
+8 seems a bit too low given howq we played in this quarter. Kobe in hero mode was the only thing preventing the Lakers from a bowout
Another bad end too a quarter. Tony Allen giveth and he taketh away. Rondo has got to settle down. 7 turnovers now for him.is that it? it seems like he's responsible for 10 or more
BTW, how OMG AWESOMEZ!! is Kobe Bryant?? I wonder what he had for breakfast today - I'm gonna have it for breakfast EVERY DAY!! ::)He eats whatever Lebron eats. We all know that anytime you copy to the EXACT portions and bites that Lebron takes of whatever he eats for breakfast, you instantly become the best player in the NBA. ::)
Rasheed is in a zone ... complete focus + composure.
Dumb, dumb shot by Jordan Farmer
Kobe had to hit Pierce four times before they called that foul. I believe the Celts have 5 free throw attempts tonight. All by garnett.
Lakers imploding ... playing desperate + complaining about one another's actions
Kobe did 5 fouls on PP before the refs whistled

Sheed and Nate huge so far!! Doc putting the starters back in quickly, along Nate and Sheed, good move I think.this will probably be the line-up that closes it out. I don't trust Rondo on the court tonight.
"Pierce will become the first Celtic beside Kevin Garnett to take a free throw tonight, hard to believe" --Mike Breen
;)
D and rebounding, no turnovers. Let's close this game out strong.
Lakers imploding ... playing desperate + complaining about one another's actions
I'd like to see them implode some more. They are too close for comfort. But yeah, nice to see them jawing at each other.
oh LOOK! ANOTHER FLOP
Pierce got hit on the arm!!!!
Bynum FOULED Pierce!!! [dang] refs!!
rondo is killing me tonight. makes a great play only to follow it up with another bad pass
sweet. smart play by PP to draw that one on Kobe. he won't get another unless he commits felonious assault though
RONDO MARRY ME!!!!LOLLLL TP!!
10 point lead, 5 minutes left
The Lakers are very close to dead
Fisher is such a loser -- that bogus attempt to draw a foul on that 3 attempt was pitiful
The Lakers have already given up.
Over 3 minutes left to play and they´ve given up. This series is over in 6.
The Lakers have already given up.Andrew Bynum has to give them a lot more if LA is going to have a chance of coming back to win this series.

Two very questionable calls on Perk and Ray or this is over now. C's catch a break though on the rim hit.
As much as I hate Phil...he's right.
We're giving them this game right now.
WOW PHIL.
"This team knows how to lose in the fourth and they're showing us now."
What a fantastic guy.
WOW PHIL.
"This team knows how to lose in the fourth and they're showing us now."
What a fantastic guy.
so kobe had his "go off game" and boston still won
Kobe likes to put up the big shot but Pierce just won that with a pass!
Really great blueprint win tonight.
The defense was superb - I don't care about Kobe's points. One man will not beat us.
Rebounded much better in the second half, made the extra pass most of the night.
Pierce=fabulous job on both ends of the floor.
Great win.
This ride is a 16-rung ladder. We've made 15. The last one won't be easy, but if we bring the blueprint and follow it, we're gonna be really happy really soon.
It turns out Doc took Ray's shot and hid it in the Staples Center ceiling. Gonna be fun watching Ray light it up again and make Jack pout.
In all honesty I don't think Ray's shot hit the rim, of course he also didn't follow Kobe on that late 3.
Kobe had a heck of a third quarter and we won so I can say it.
Pierce was fantastic. Rondo was good but turned it over too much.
KG played great.
TA's block was sick.

I actually thought there was one angle on the shot that looked like the shot hit the rim. They only showed it once though so it's really hard to say. All the other angles were pretty inconclusive.

Yeah, that was strange. There was an angle from the top that pretty clearly showed it hitting the rim but then they chose the worst possible angle to show after the time out.
Sorry guys, but I'm sticking with the same player pictures for game 6. We won games 4 and 5 with them and I'm not changing them now. Great win.
My favorite play of the game... Garnett to Pierce to Rondo for the layup. Incredible TEAM ball by the Celtics. Again the Lakers doubled us on FT's. 26-13 even after the intentional fouls at the end. Sad. Now we have 2 chances to close it out. GO CELTICS!!!!
Sorry guys, but I'm sticking with the same player pictures for game 6. We won games 4 and 5 with them and I'm not changing them now. Great win.That catch Rondo made by reaching back and one handing the ball on the catch and then hitting the layup is about a 9.5 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. If Bill Belichick saw that he should be calling Rondo's agent offering him a contract as a wide receiver. That was an amazing catch.

Can't wait to see Kobe in the presser with that disdainful, disinterested, obnoxious look on his face. I sure hope someone asks him if his desire to shoot the ball almost every time down the floor for an entire quarter froze his team mates up and actually hurt his team more than it helped them.
The suspense is killing me ;) :D ;DCan't wait to see Kobe in the presser with that disdainful, disinterested, obnoxious look on his face.

No reporter will have the guts to ask him this question, I can tell you that.
I wonder if Kobe will throw his teammates under the bus, though.

I thought he wouldn't smile until he won the championship... does this mean he is forfeiting?
I want to throw a shout out to Rondo for that amazing tip in on the offensive boards in the fourth quarter. He went over Bynum and Artest to tip that in.
Simply amazing athletic play.

It was a great win.
Though Celtics have to stay focused, job's not done yet. Now, all Celtics have to be ready mentally and physically, because LA's going to give their 100% effort. So we need to too. As long as we keep playing our basketball with utmost effort, we'll win.
Let's aim game 6 to be the last game this year boys!
Let's go C's!

TA's block was sick.
I actually thought there was one angle on the shot that looked like the shot hit the rim. They only showed it once though so it's really hard to say. All the other angles were pretty inconclusive.
Yeah, that was strange. There was an angle from the top that pretty clearly showed it hitting the rim but then they chose the worst possible angle to show after the time out.
Yea 3 of the 4 angles you can't tell, but that 1 angle they only showed once and the trajectory definitely changed.
yeah trajectory changed
Okay, my predictions:Final score for my predictions: I know nothing about basketball, obviously :)
(I love going out on a limp :p)Captain Pierce: Good Q 1 and 3, invisible in 2 and 4.He was ALL good, especially in the fourth!Rayray: +- 18 pointsHe had 12
Garnett: Shabby, but will rack up 15 points and will do well on rebounds. 18 points and 10 rebounds, I'll count this as close enough to "correct" :)Rondo: I think he'll have 3 good quarters, dunno when they will come though, he will be the games best player. He's also going to make his 3 point shots :plawl, brand me a fool!
Perkins: Another mediocre game, 10 points and 7 rebounds. Meh, don't like this one. 4 points, 7 rebounds. Kinda right, but not really.
The Bench:Sheed: will do more great D, will be getting some FAVORABLE calls, and rack up +- 15 points.
Baby: +- 12 points, 4 rebounds.
Nate: largely invisible, will hit two threes and maybe get up to 8 points, no more.
That concludes my thoughts on the next game :p
