The final score was only 6 but they beat their brains out tonight! Good all around performances.
I got to wonder why KG takes about 5 shots in a row with just 3 to4 minutes to go and gags them all? They finally gave Pierce the ball to finish the last few minutes which I think they should have started doing at 5 minutes. Anyway , I think KG played a great game defensively and he was hot early but I cannot figure out why they go with Pierce the whole game then stop in crunch time.
The lakers now know the Celtics are the better team. I see them trying for a big Hollywood night for Kobe again on Tuesday because they know that if its our team against their team , they lose. They need a miracle from their big player so look for him to go nuts Tuesday. Normally that would be enough to doom them but I still see the reffing as somewhat lopsided towards Bryant so we need to be sure we don't lose a big player early to Kobe cheap fouls.
Anyway , I think the Celtics wrap it up Tuesday. They now know they win or lose on what they do , what LA does means nothing as long as they play the tight D and take the good shots as they present themselves.
Oh , one last thing. I still think Rondo is the best and worst player they got. he can be great and he was at times tonight but man he can pull some stupid stuff too.
Assuming Tuesday goes like tonight , Paul Pierce becomes a two time playoff MVP , there's no other choice!
Go Celtics!!
