Artest's shot selection at times is horrible. :bleh:

And Odom was a no show again. :shakehead:

Crazy stat: Rondo was the leading rebounder with 10 and the only one in double figures. :crazy:

Not that it hurt them, but when he leads the team in rebounding that means their big men are not getting the job done. :bleh: Artest is good on the defensive end, but offensively... why he takes so many 3 pointers makes one wonder. :beatyou:

Lakers take game three, 91-84.

Ray Allen: 0-13. :shocked:

D-Fish: 11 points in the 4th quarter. :victory:

There is no one with more heart on this team than Fish.

No one.

No one.

I totally agree!

Even Kobe agreed: During the post-game interview he said Fish was the heart and soul of the team... :victory:

This is beyond crazy.

I was expecting Ray to have a bad night, as the Lakers' defense was going to adjust. But I wasn't expecting the entire offense to be non-existent. At one point we went around seven minutes without a basket. :shakehead:

Garnett though was a bright spot for them on the offense, :applaud: he was it though, he needs to get more boards though. Did Allen set a record again, game 2 set the record for finals 3-pointers, is going 0-13 another record? :bleh:

Nope, Allen fell one short of tying the record, I think.

Just read that in the paper that he fell one short, they didn't say who the other player was, :shakehead: is probably in seclusion somewhere and paid the reporters off to forget his name. :doh:

DJ, think he atoned for that with those rings with the Celtics. :mrgreen:

He atoned the following year: MVP of the Finals, as the Sonics beat the Bullets, 4-1.



Back to the present:

Boston's bench dominates and the Lakers lose, 96-89.

Yeah, the bench was the key when they took control in the 4th quarter. Lakers need someone besides Kobe and Gasol to be more of an offensive force, they combined for 54 points, rest of the team had only 35. :sweat: Bet Pierce was glad that they are going back to LA after his prediction. :doh:

Yup.

Boston's bench strength clearly showed in Game 4. :sweat:

Or he would've had to see a podiatrist to have his foot extracted from his mouth. :hehe:

Still don't know what purpose making those predictions do, wait until you play the Clippers before you say those things. :beatyou:
