Lakers lost to the Kings at home last night also. If we use the same logic for both teams....

Q's going into his midseason ritual leading up to the 12:30 QST appointment. A walk on 36th and 33rd Ave W. No Super Birds at Denny's (not the way to lose at least 33 pounds by playoff time). Play 33 games of chess on the internet an hour.
That Avatar is awesome ACF.
Good sign - my blood pressure was 133 over 86 this morning. During Game Seven it was probably 186 over 133 (What do you think Dr Bahku? Drink more Sammy's? Maybe you can write me an Rx of Sammy Adams beta blockers).
I knew that Joey Crawford's ugly mug would show up today. I am sure that Landlord Jerry Buss gave him free rent in a six bedroom home in Beverly Hills following last year's ludicrous disgrace of Game Seven.
I need to go wake up the Soul of Shaquille and proudly run on 36th Avenue in his honor and perhaps he can put Kobe on the pine a couple of times.
A Celtics victory today would put me in the SPIRIT of THE SEASON!!
I feel the POSITIVE ENERGY coming back after Wichita St blew out Bradley, Kansas blew out Kansas St, and Rensselear Mens College Hockey beat #1 Yale in the BIG RED freakout in Troy, NY. I would say I am over with the Debacle in Phoenix and it is time to wipe the Fakers @ss.
Let's do this!

Fitting that we have Perk back for the game in LA.
Enjoy.

miami up by 2, with 22.2 left, full shot clock for okc

I hope they go for the win, want to watch the celtics game lol
Ray Allen is the Celtics best offensive weapon against this Lakers defense.

That was not a foul on Ray.
The ref'ing so far has been completely random.
Marquis needs to play better, he looks awful out there :(
Can't believe Pierce didn't get the foul call when Bynum shoved KG into him and then Ray immediately got called for nothing.

crawford should be put out to pasture
How is that a foul on Perk and not Bynum? Or at least a double foul? ???Perkins bangs for the rebound, foul. Bynum jumps over his back, great play ::).
6 missed FTs and turnovers have kept the lakers in this thing so far
The boys in green are looking pretty good so far.

The freakin espn yappy mouths taking turns talking about finals game 7...do we need 3 people to repeat the same stuff one by one? >:(
This game is a lot closer than it should be.
bynum can basically do whatever he wants inside and they will not call it. he should have 3 fouls already
Someone Wake up Rondo. Game Started already.
Am i the only one who wants Wafer in the game instead of Daniels? Or Wafer instead of Robinson?
danials has impressed me with his play lately...but i do remember why i didn't like him, he disappears in
BIG games..!
Pierce looks awful. Ron Artest is outplaying him once again.

KG is easily 7'1". Easily. Don't let those "official" numbers fool you.

Rondo ineffective again. Rose would be all over the place by now.

at the beginning of the year I still thought Rondo was the better overall player , but his poor free throw shooting has made him shy away from attacking the hoop.
He could get to the line 10+ times a game if he just went to the hoop. Work on your free throws [dang] it
I want to see Shaq and Perk in together in this game. They could drive Gasol and Bynum nuts
I don't think Rondo is playing badly. He has been quiet though.

Ray does a solid job on Kobe, but this is wrong. ESPN ran a feature showing how poorly Kobe did against Tony Allen during the finals.
Kobe Bryant with 20 first half points in only 14 minutes.
8-11 from the field and 5-6 from the FT line.

oh how i love docs rebounding mentality..."just forget rebounds and get back on D"...ya......rebounding mentality, once ON never stops...once off...never starts...EVERY BALL HAS TO BE YOURS..!Yet the play you're complaining about was on the defensive end, which has nothing to do with Doc's philosophy.
Rondo has not been good to day. How is Derek Fisher getting into the lane at will. The passes have been off, he's been playing kind of out of control. Pierce has been more herky jerky than usual too, but wow. Officiating has been typically bizarre with Joey crawford in charge. No way Big Baby deserves free throws (we'll take them though)
What are people seeing who think rondo is playing ok? He has 2 points, one assist and one rebound.Anyone following the C's offensive pace? Are we getting not sets or walking up? If the latter, that may have something to do with it
7 missed Fts in the half....fouling at will...not getting 50/50 balls...turnovers galore...did i miss anything..oh horrible defenseMan I'm glad we're going to get that lottery pick. Wait...
also..you put a young strong guy like TA onm kobe and rotate with Ray...TA will tire him out and beat him a little...soften him up for ray...ray ain't 28...TA is....THAT is why i wanted to resign TA.....
What are people seeing who think rondo is playing ok? He has 2 points, one assist and one rebound.Does it matter how Rondo is playing if our defense is giving Kobe 22 points (8/11 shooting) in 14 minutes? Our offense is decent - we're shooting over 50% and we have 13 assists as a team, so we're on track toward our season average.

I wouldn't say Fisher's been getting into the lane at will.
Rondo's certainly out of rhythm though. Doesn't have the same feel for the game that had made him such a potent assist man.

you have to call a spade a spade man. Paul is not getting his calls like Kobe.
Kobe half time interview = (http://isthatcoffee.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smug.jpg)
I don't get the complaining about the refs. Each team has taken 15 free throws.
As for Rondo, 4 points, one assist, one rebound. Something has to be wrong with this guy.

The real difference in this game, the Lakers have 11 fast break points compared to 0 for the Celtics.

coming off long bricks...
defense is the issue. 54 points is way too many. lakers getting in the paint at will. unless this stops..boston is going to lose...
offense looks bad like it has the last few games...i am not happy. i hate the freakin lakers. i mean hate with red hot coals and flames from my eyes. i wish bad things on them..i don't even consider them a part of the human race

The big difference is the Kobe is in the zone. He's in playoff mode and on a serious tear. Not sure Tony Allen, Bruce Bowen or the Green Hornet could slow him down when he;s like that.

----------------------------------------------
On the other end of the floor, Rondo has been matched up against Derek Fisher. Fisher had one basket on three attempts and one free throw.
On the basket, Rondo played so-so defense on the ball but he also sent him right (Fisher's weak hand) towards the baseline where there should have been help but the help was late (Shaq's fault).
On another possession, where Fisher got his one assist of the half, Rondo got a deflection on the cross court pass almost creating a steal but the ball fell kindly to Fisher who then beat an off balance Rondo into the paint and set up a nice baseline midrange jumper for Pau Gasol.
Other than those two plays, Fisher has barely been a factor on offense.

Rondo has been quiet (and he can definitely do more) but he is not playing badly.

wow, zero? That's shocking with Rondo at pg.

One question to further my point, have we had one dunk today..? Have we had one slashing dunk or layup...?We've had at least three, one by KG, one by Daniels, and one by Rondo.
If Rondo has one assist, 4 points and one rebound, how is that helping the team?

I think Rondo has been wowed too much and too early.
He's still not at the level pretty much everybody claimed for him earlier this season, and kind of disliked hearing him saying "I'm the best PG in the league". He's not, and he has to work hard to get there, maybe starting being a factor in important games like this one.

Truth!
I wouldn't mind someone stepping up and treating Kobe the way Tony Allen dealt with OJ Mayo.
Truth!
Truth!
Truth!
Pierce is locked in right now.Great pass by Rondo.
Thats my boy. Go RaJON!! You may have a bad shooting day, but you have can effect the game in other ways!! GO RONDZ!!
i hated that kobe ad...
Wow, it surprises me everytime when I realize just how much I despise the Lakers.
Walking the ball up is lazy and no help....when the pg walks the ball up...he needs to be sat down and talked to. you wanna walk, do it on your own time....What I was talking about.

"Celtics are up by six again? Ok, commence the phantom foul calling."and hence the phantom foul on Ray for that crap by Fisher

He's as bad as Manu
derrick fisher is a POS
Here's how it works:
Refs have a scientifically proven bias in favor of the losing team. This effect is magnified if the losing team has home court advantage.
And if the winning team also happens to be comprised of a bunch of players that the refs don't like (Perkins, Garnett, et. al), well, then, you're gonna have to beat the home team twice to get a single win.
Do i really need Adam Sandler interviews during the game?
Nate picked a great game to show up again.Not a minute too soon
Pierce looks awful. Ron Artest is outplaying him once again.
Ron... Artest...
Nate picked a great game to show up again.ditto. hope he can keep hitting to start the 4th. it'd help the offense tremendously while the bench is in
Oh, wow, tough shot by Kobe Bryant over Pierce.Paul played great defense in the post both possessions. I'm surprised Kobe went down low, Pierce has always been able to contain his post game.
Nice defense by Paul.
Sandler is afraid to admit he is a celtic fan......he is from NH....
He's claimed he's a Knicks fan for a few years now.Sandler is afraid to admit he is a celtic fan......he is from NH....
LOL, I was thinking the same thing, he's definitely a celtic fan but saying it on tv would kill his career

Pierce does such a great job defending Kobe. The best thing about Kobe is that the better someone defends him the more shots he takes.
He's claimed he's a Knicks fan for a few years now.Sandler is afraid to admit he is a celtic fan......he is from NH....

Up 5 heading into the fourth quarter. Great place to be.
Pierce looks awful. Ron Artest is outplaying him once again.
Ron... Artest...
that's what I thought---I was sure I've seen him with Knicks gear beforeHe's claimed he's a Knicks fan for a few years now.Sandler is afraid to admit he is a celtic fan......he is from NH....

Rondo so bad today

that was actually smart by sandler in politics and
LA movie land...they love more of what you say than what you do.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing, he's definitely a celtic fan but saying it on tv would kill his career
that's the safe answer, there hasn't been anything to cheer for about the Knicks in years
I imagine this is around the time the refs will make it a close game again.depends, what's the point spread today ;)
Davis wasn't out of bounds. What was up with that?he came in from out of bounds before touching the ball
Also, I disagree with the announcer's saying "Give me big O over big D any day of the week." Wrong.
Lakers down 9 at home? Might as well foul the crap out of them, because they'll be getting every 50/50 call anyway. At least this way it won't be an "And-1"
9 point lead ok when will the refs factor in on this one?they're factoring in by swallowing their whistles instead of calling 2 offensive fouls on Kobe on a couple of his buckets in this run ::)
Joey Crawford is terrible.
how was that not an offensive on Kobe?
Joey Crawford is terrible.
Kobe Bryant has been devastating today. On a roll.
37 points on 23 shot attempts + 7 FTs + a turnover.
game over. who's next?Still plenty of time.
game over. who's next?Still plenty of time.
Oh, and keep chucking and freezing your teammates out Kobe!
Just play defense ... no fouls, the offense will come from there.
Should be in the bag, barring a melt-down or a bailouttoo early to count this as a win yet.
Rondo waking up in the 2nd half has got us winning now. Anyone agrees?

Good game, guys. I can't even be mad - Our key guys didn't show up at all today. We'll see what happens in a few weeks.

Rondo is the difference between the C's being good to GREAT.

TP for getting in when we're kicking your behinds.

Well, that felt good :D
random thoughts
the officiating is poor, maybe MAYBE not biased but very poor, twice the refs to me appeared to change the momentum of the game through questionable calls
we are all to hard on our young mr rondo, i expect greatness out of him at all times, he put up some nice numbers 10 pts 16 assists 5 rbs but i felt he didn't play well
PP is incredibly effecient, kobe pumped up 29 shots, he looked like lebron out there giving up on his teams system and his teammates
very nice game by glen davis!
Can't wait for our team to be at full strength
Great all round game but props to Glenn for staying within his game and to Nate for putting in one of his best efforts of the season.

Yup!
We did this without JO or Delonte!!
Celts win the boards 43 - 30 and basically even in offensive rebounds - that's why we won.Being even on offensive boards when you're shooting 60% and they are shooting 44% is a tremendous win. They only got 22% of their misses, the celtics got 31%.
Celts win the boards 43 - 30 and basically even in offensive rebounds - that was the key to this game.
This win is dedicated to vinnie and his apocalyptic predictions after the Suns game.
go get sheed and throw shaq, perk, JO baby and Sheed at the the LA bigs

I have to get up in 5 hours, 30 mins but I'll be dreaming sweet dreams, y'all. GO CELTS!

pulling away in the 4th quarter in LA makes it all the more sweeter.
This team will be mind boggling when JO and West are back to playing and Perk is back in game shape with the rust shaken off.
please i need that photo/shot of kevin that they showed at the end of the broadcast... with his blood running down the side of his face. TP to the ones who can locate this image on the wonderful worldwide web
WW!MR
It's amazing to watch Mike Gorman try to get a word in when Bill is running his mouth ... it's impossible, lol!
Wow, it surprises me everytime when I realize just how much I despise the Lakers.
I remain optimistic that now that the team and JO have assessed this knee more thoroughly and have come up with a gameplan for the year, JO will contribute down the stretch and the playoffs. Maybe nothing huge, but some solid D, rebounding and an occasional bucketpulling away in the 4th quarter in LA makes it all the more sweeter.

Well, i agree with all ...except Jo...i don't know if he is going to make the corner...he may just collect NBA welfare...!

Wow.. Doc just said that Rondo called a perfect game, and that the difference between the first and second half is that guys got the ball to Rondo instead of bringing it up themselves.
point guards stick together ;)Wow, it surprises me everytime when I realize just how much I despise the Lakers.
This.Wow.. Doc just said that Rondo called a perfect game, and that the difference between the first and second half is that guys got the ball to Rondo instead of bringing it up themselves.
What is he, a catcher?
welcome MR> KURTZ it was EPIC. I need a large version of that photo with the "i'm going to rip your head off" look and the trickle of crimson
TP to u

But your right 2short. Great team win with PP guiding us most of the game and the rest of the guys putting their touch on it late.
I'll take a victory over the Lakers any way it comes.
What is he, a catcher?
in all seriousness, our TEAM won today, rondo was off, nate was hitting, team offense wasn't so good PP and Ray were clutch, team defense, team rebounding
ball movement, good coaching

just PM'd you there .. i hope that works ..
I don't like those long jumpers by BBD.I hate those too. There was that one maybe in the 2nd quarter where he took a long jumper with an open Ray Allen right beside him. He missed and even if he had made it I wish KG had walked up to him and been like "See this guy? He's your teammate. His name is Ray Allen. He's kinda like the best shooter that ever lived. If you ever take a jump when he is way open next to you again I will kill you so don't do it because I don't want to kill you"

"Seriously, I know I always look like I want to kill you, but I actually love you buddy. You make me giggle, or you would if I ever giggled. But seriously, I could pu.ch a hole in your chest, reach down and tear out your femur, but I don't wanna. So seriously, pass the ball to Ray."
As expected quite a few Laker fans are blaming Artest's injury for this loss...lol.

I know...a lot of them are ready to trade him already..lol. I love it when the Faker nation is miserable.
You know what makes this victory so sweet?
Kobe and Phil wanted it bad don't believe for a second they didn't
the taunting of Shaq, and Marquis by Kobe
when Odom checks in and as they wont on a run that giddy laughing on his face-
mwahahhhahaa
Probably already been mentioned many times. But nice to win this one for Perk. Seems like his whole return was geared toward coming back and beating the Fakers to prove that they got lucky and that the starting 5 are still undefeated in a playoff series.
Pretty Awesome!

It's sad, really.
Pau Gasol was not the reason LA lost today. Kobe tried to put the team on his back, and once again failed.
He did not run the offense through Gasol, which makes them a better team when they do.
The way that KG was today, though - even if Kobe tried to diversify, it wouldn't have helped much.
I think I saw about 6 "ESPN Trade Machine" formulas including Pau Gasol when I was observing Silver Screen and Roll.
They are throwing the man under the bus, and it ain't right.
I'd dare Laker fans to throw Kobe under the bus, just once. He was the reason they lost this one.
Wow, looking at the boxscore we outrebounded them 43-30, which is great, but out-assisted them 34-10 :o which is incredible. 7 guys with at least 2 dimes. Amazing ball movement.
Artest was hampered with a sore left thigh after a collision with Shaq in the 1st quarter and Bynum was held out of practice the following day due to a sore left knee from contact.
I am just responding to bump the thread because remembering spanking the Lakers never gets old.So true. So this was a bigger win for Celts than it would have been for the Lakers. However, it was a bigger loss for the Lakers than it would have been for the Celts.
