Sounds like KG has a little Chris Webber in him :sweat:

Well, KG don't seem to have knees made of Jello, though.

And right when we're discussing this, he takes it to the hoop and gets a foul.

They'll only need KG to rebound today if Pierce continues to keep making those threes as with the first half. He's taking them a foot from the line and they're just going in.

Lakers getting pounded, 91-71.... Time to turn off the TV. :bleh:

I can only hope that whatever offense the Lakers mustered up in the fourth quarter will carry on because it's not looking good for the purple and gold.

Yow, they sorta came back after digging that deep hole... MAybe I shoulda turned off the TV sooner. :beaten: :sweat:

The Lakers got it within 4 in the final two minutes... but they were in the penalty and Boston just needed somebody to go to the hole and get fouled for some free throws. Pierce and Posey closed it out by making theirs... Doc Rivers let the Celts cool off after the third, and the Lakers tried to inch their way back slowly.

It was funny seeing Kobe shake his head on the bench at the end of the third... Lamar got his fifth foul by plowing into P.J. Brown. I was imagining Kobe thinking how much of an idiot Odom was trying to do that.

I'll have to go with Pierce and Rondo making the most of Game 2. Rondo was all over the court, and even though he wasn't taking the shot (there were a LOT of open shots for him), he got it to whoever was open. A lot of Nash-like, jump-first-and-then-pass assists. And then Pierce was obviously insane here, getting whatever shot he wanted, and making some borderline what-the-hell threes early on. Gasol was pretty much owning KG at the start, what with that hook, and KG just kept on with the 20-footers.

On to Staples for 3, 4, and 5... sounds mighty exciting to me. :victory:

lakers in 7 :mrgreen:

Leon Powe! ..... This guy should definitely be playing more minutes for Celts. :applaud:

Lucky for the Laker's ... that their aversion to D infected the Celtics in the 4th. But talk about "hanging on" .... a major :sweat: for Boston.

Yup, there's no "D" in Lakers... :shakehead:

How can they let this guy score 21 points?? :headscratch:

So much for Lakers bench strength. :sweat:

Woo! Hoo!!!

Boston by six! 2 & 0 and the sweep is still on!

Schmobe and his boys tried to make it interesting at the end. But they came up short.

This is the most fun I've had watching an NBA final in a very very long time. Made even more fun by getting to see Powe play again.

I'm not watching tonight's Laker game: I watched the previous two and they lost... :sweat:

That happened back in 2000 as well: I watched the first game of the Lakers-Sixers game and they lost... Their first loss in the playoffs that year.... After I stopped watching (I did record the games), they won the next four to win the championship. :beaten:

Just stick to recording the games now :beaten: Whew, Lakers get one! Strange that the Celtics didn't foul near the end though.

It worked: I didn't watch (didn't record either) and they won! :beaten:

Boston, you can't win now... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... :nut: :applaud:

Freakin' refs. I'm tellin' ya.

If such a jinx exists ... perhaps you should not watch any more Finals games. Or even better yet, never watch a Laker game again .... that might lead to a new Laker dynasty. :P

Sucks to be you ... :hehe: :rofl:

I can live with that. :thumbsup:

Sucks to be you ... :hehe: :rofl:

I can always timeslip the games... No biggie... Anything for the Lakes. :victory:

The Lakers are rolling so far, up 58-40 at the half. Usually hearing that Bryant only has three points is cause for concern, but Odom and Gasol have stepped up big time. Nice shot by Farmar at the end as well, and hopefully that's a sign that the Lakers will continue to roll in the second half :victory:

ugh, lakers were up 20 at the half and now trailing by 2 at the start of the fourth :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

Yeah, their offense really bogged down, but Kobe has just put the Lakers up by 4 at the moment. He's really struggled with Pierce guarding him, but hopefully that last score will get him going.

Haven't watched any of it... I did check the score online at 77-77. :fingerscrossed:
