It'll still end up going 7, think it's very rare when a team has taken 3 on it's own court . Rondo and Allen were the only ones who seemed to carry them, another quiet game for Garnett, plus Artest had one poor offensive game which really hurt the Lakers.
Artest's shot selection at times is horrible.
And Odom was a no show again.
Crazy stat: Rondo was the leading rebounder with 10 and the only one in double figures.

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

Garnett though was a bright spot for them on the offense, 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? _________________

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, is probably in seclusion somewhere and paid the reporters off to forget his name. _________________

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. Bet Pierce was glad that they are going back to LA after his prediction. _________________

Yup.
Boston's bench strength clearly showed in Game 4.

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