Lakers 2, Celtics 3

 

Obviously they learned their lesson from game 4 and dug down and showed some true heart and grit to get the game 5 win. Odom and Gasol can now show their faces again, not so much can be said for Garnett. Pierce is a stud, no doubt about that though. Lakers need to employ a different strategy to guard him.

 

So far my prediction has only been off by one game. I thought the Lakers would have won one of the first two in Boston. Still a monumental task at hand: winning 2 out of 2 in Boston. Just focus on game 6 and get it even again. A game 7 for all the marbles would be EPIC!!!

Tuesday night...

I just hope for a good game. And by good game I mean a Laker blowout! Let's get this thing going already!!!

Tuesday has come and gone and I still say most of the Lakers need some heart. How can you just give up on the biggest stage? That team as presently constituted will win nothing. Lamar and Gasol must go. Kobe did all he could and competed the whole way. Same goes for Farmar.

All I know is Paul Pierce's 17 points on June 17 for banner 17...how sweet and what a game.

So the Celtics won. Congrats. I'm raising the white flag. They are the champs and proved to be the better team. I agree with what Kobe said after the game that the Celtics defense was the best I have ever seen. Not like the rediculous stuff the pistons or knicks played in the 90's where you just hammer and foul people. Real defense. The rotations were extremely fast and the Lakers could never really get the ball moving fluidly for more than one quarter at a time. I hope the lakers let this sting all summer. Some of the guys need to look deep inside and decide how much they want this. Perhaps this loss will forge their will.

 

We will see what next year brings. It will be interesting to say the least. A healthy Laker team with a true low post scorer and defender will be one to be reckoned with. Some maturity is needed for many of the laker players and some added fortitude. They are a young team. I'm actually afraid that the biggest challenge to winning future championships may come from within the western conference however.

 

It would be fun if these two teams could meet again next year or at least some time soon. LONG LIVE THE RIVALRY!
