Heck of a game. Officials letting them play and not bad except the half-court call. But then there's not much of a half-court line either.

dang, they lost!!!
 
The Celtics played with more hustle in this game especially after Pierce went down.
Doesn't help when everybody on the Lakers sucked except for Fisher.
 
yah i was really disappointed when the Lakers didnt do much of anything when Pierce went out. really tight but disappointing 2nd half
 
I have a sunset monti 1/2" by 1/2" that says celtics win it.Anyone with a superman monti want to wager?
 
Damn, can't believe the Lakers lost the game. The last I saw at half time they were up by six. Wasn't able to watch the rest of the game because of my college final. Should still be OK. We just need to win 1 boston and take care of home. Go Lakers.
 
that's right. they only have to get 1 before heading home.
yeah, the celts shutdown kobe but the way the celts played it's not like they played spectacular. they didn't blow out the lakers or anything like that.
somehow i think the lakers will pull it out.

LAKERS ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!
 
great post from kb's site:

Even though it was a game 1 loss on the road I think LA will benefit over a series stretch from what happend yesterday. They did the following. I'm sure theres more so feel free to add if ya want. I think LA surprized them. Dont give Radmon 3 fouls in the 1st quarter so the D didnt have to switch up the match ups so early and hit a few more free throws and its a different outcome.

1. exposed the Celtics for being weak on the pick and roll.
2. Made Rondo have to take jump shots.
3. Forced KG to be a jump shooter and take him away from the basket
(most of the time).
4. Found out their stamina level isnt as high as perceived. Sam Cassel fell of, Perkins got hurt, Pierce (even though questionable if real or not) did to. Over 7 games they will look run down.
5. Discovered that even when LA is shooting terrible were still in the game.
6. That Bostons best defense of the year, wasnt all that great. Lots of break downs, LA just needs to shoot better and hit when WIDE OPEN. LA shot 41.6%. Boston 42.1%. So if LA hits 43% and plays with the same defensive intensity, LA can win by 8.
7. That when KB gaurds Allen, Allen doesnt exist offensivly.
8. That Farmar can out run the entire Boston team. When he was playing he looked so fast in the half court.
9. That D-Fish can get the open J against Cassell or Rondo any time he feels like it.
10. That when Lamar was gaurding Pierce, PP wasnt effective. Again fouls changed the defensive match up.
11. That if Pau is hitting the 10-12 foot jumpers, KG comes out, and that opens up the interior passing.
12. that Pierce needs to fake a injury and be carried off the court, placed in a wheel chair and be pushed to the locker room, and then make a MIRACLE recovery in 8 minutes, run back to the court with his arms up like hes Rocky Balboa to inspire the Boston crowd. Even the Boston fans saw the weekness. To bad for them they allready pulled that card out of the deck.
13. That even though Boston won, it felt like they needed to steal a home victory. There was no dominance.
14. That even though the big ticket got off to a great start, hes just a guy that will put up the low 20's. Hes not going to get 50....or 40....or probably not 30.

Its like KB said at half time, "Were all just feeling each others game out to see what the other guys going to do".
Now they know. Sunday LA is going to win.
 
With as bad as the Lakers played, they still didn't get blown out.......... Lots of in & out shots & they got killed on the boards.

Somehow I don't think that Kobe is gonna take this lying down..............Watch for a 40+ point game in Game 2.....
 
When you go 5-30 in the 4th quarter, you will loose to anyone! Even the Knicks! Lakers just flat out didnt make any baskets in the last 1/4.

its okay though. If the Lakers win game 2 (which thye will) we then come back to LA for 3 strait games! Lakers in 6! Gotta win it on Boston's home court :)


GO LAKE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sunday we will get our revenge. did you see act 1 where pierce was carried off or did you see act 2 where perkins hobbled off the court or did you see act 3 where pierce came back to the court and uplifted the celtics or did you see act 4 where perkins came back for another boost to the celtic team and crowd. Bunch of actors.....
 
I think they want Sunday games...

You know, even after the loss on Thursday, I still feel good about the Lakers. 3 games at home coming up and if they split the first two games by winning this coming game, it'll be a tough one for Boston. Boston doesn't have too good of a record winning away...until the Pistons series that is.

I totally think that act by Pierce was set up. You see the way how "hurt" he was on the floor...couldn't get up..had to get carried. Then magically he reappears within 3 minutes and is fine? Hahah. Great act though!
 
i think he's really hurt, i think what they did was gave a shot to his knees because he really wanted to come back into the game...
