Ok, 6 AM here, I was supposed to be celebrating, but it seems like we will have to wait until thursday (friday morning here).
It's very sad to see our players go down injured throughout the playoffs, it's frustrating, even more when losing, like in the Orlando game 5. The Lakers have beaten the Celtics, both in play and in the kickboxing stuff. But it's just one game.
It's one game, and the Celtics need just one game. The Lakers got their tie, and hopefully the Celtics watch this game's tape and understand what they need to do. Doc and Thibs and all their staff are very good, they showed in the previous series, and we must accept and move on.
Looking forward to game 7, Perk's health will be important, but if he can play, even 15-20 minutes, it will be ok. He can waste some 4 or 5 good playoff fouls. They will call them anyway, so I expect the Celtics to bring some toughness. It's unacceptable seeing rondo get elbowed in the face, it's even worse to see Kobe forgetting the ball and concentrating in Perk's leg... I'm hoping for a payback, not injuring players, but fouling them in a "good playoff" way, as JVG and the rest of the ESPN "we love the kobes" crew like to call.
Go Celtics!!!
We need just one more win, and it's up to one more game. Let's get it!!!!
Beat LA!!!
