Game 3: Lakers 87 Celtics 81

[HammerTime]

Lakers lead in rebounds 35-31. Gasol was abysmal on O but got it done on the glass tonight.

 

 

Gasol and Odom 5-18 13 points. That is not going to cut it.

If the Lakers tie the series up, I think you'll see the Celtics tense up some. Lakers need to win games 4 and 5 to have a shot at winning the series though. It will be extremely tough to win in Boston twice.

 

If they take care of business at home they will only have to win 1.

Lamar Odom really needs to wake up. He is making way too many mental mistakes.

Good thing for these two that Garnett and Pierce had somewhat of a similar night.

You could also look at like this though: As bad as those two played the Lakers still won the game with a one man show in Kobe. If these two decide to wake up no doubt the Lakers are the better team and should take care of business.

WHich is why I said they need to win games 4 and 5. If they lose one of those two, it will be extremely tough to go in to Boston and take both 6 and 7.

Hey Jim where you at? I thought Kobe was gonna start forcing crazy shots?

[HOMELESS CAMEL]

Nice to see the Lakers get a "gut check" win. Would love to see them tie this thing up on Thursday.

I know what you are saying, but definitely was not a one man show for the Lakers with Sasha playing and shooting the ball as well as he did tonight.

Not quite the 20+ point victory you predicted for the Celts huh Wireman???

True but Kobe still almost had half of the Lakers points. No doubt though Sasha came up HUGE tonight.

I have a feeling this thread will be very quiet until the Celtics win another game.

[HammerTime]

^He should of have 40+ no way will you see him miss that many free throws in a game again.

Sounds like the C's missed and opportunity here...

Kobe is awesome AND he drops the "S" bomb in the post game press conference.

 

I LOVE live TV. :lol:
