NBA Finals - Lakers beat Celtics 4-3

[The Dodger]

allen and pearce had their worst game yesterday.

allen did not sink one 3.
pearce got a few but was pretty bad overall
KG finally was on fire.
so was glen davis.

sheed was below average (as usual)

gasol was alot more quiet but fisher had a great game.

i was going to say the same thing at the end if lakers lost that game, that would have been the series.

Puh-lease - you cannot defend Derek Fisher.

Kudos to him, he knows how to get the calls. But he's a massive flopper, for arguably the strongest guard (certainly strongest point guard), he sells it like nobody else.

Sure he may at times accentuate or exaggerate contact. So do alot of players in the league. Big Baby getting knocked down by a point guard. Now thats high comedy.

Bynum's status for today's Game 4 is questionable

BOSTON -- Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson expressed uncertainty about Andrew Bynum's availability for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, a day after the center declared his injured right knee ready to go.


"He had a little bit of a struggle this morning," Jackson said during shootaround. "He couldn't do anything on the court."

Greeeeeeeat....thanks Bynum
Just put 50 on the lakers +3.5 at 1.91

 

[Ridders]

Well Bynum is starting. But he looks pretty limited.

 

[Ridders]

Gasol and Pierce have both started well.

LA have been going to Gasol alot early. Good sign.

 

[Ridders]

Paul Pierce is on his game. Not a good sign for LA. At least Ray Ray is still clunking them.

 

[Ridders]

Good first quarter for the Celtics. They look good today.

 

[andrew057]

Again with these bad foul calls. What was that on Wallace?

 

[Ridders]

You can't be serious? The refs made one bad call the entire quarter. Thats great given whats happened in previous games.

 

[Ridders]

Oh dear Nate is feeling it. Not good

 

[andrew057]

You can't be serious? The refs made one bad call the entire quarter. Thats great given whats happened in previous games.

They did have a good quarter, but there wasnt anything close to a foul there and it gives Wallace his second. It was a horrible call.

 

[Ridders]

I agree it was a bad call. Gasol clearly slipped

Bit worried about Kobe. Couple of his shots in the first quarter barely hit the front of the rim.

 

[andrew057]

Yeah Kobe doesnt look in his rhythm at the moment.

Big Baby doing well.

 

[Ridders]

Pretty nice for Doc to be able to give Rondo such a long break. Should finish the 2nd quarter strong.

 

[Ridders]

Lol just as I say Kobe doesn't look good he hits back to back 3s.

 

[andrew057]

Yeah Kobe doesnt look in his rhythm at the moment.

lol

 

[Ridders]

Kobe punked us both :lol:

 

[Ridders]

Interesting half. Both teams struggled a bit offensively. Odom and Big Baby have been pretty good off the bench.

Bynum only played 7 minutes in the first half. Didn't seem to have much lift.

 

[Mr Saab]

Good to see Ray Allen has found his shooting touch.
