Lakers 103 Celtics 98 (Game 5)

[MJAlltheWay24]

Good game and LA is able to push the series to a game six in Boston.

I think the Lakers still have a shot, but I expect Boston to take it in game 6.

I predicted Boston in seven...so I would like to see the Lakers pull one more out just so I can say I was right.

I didn't think the Celtics would get this one...I think it will be very tough for the Lakers to win the next one in Boston...

Pierce was 16-19 form the FT line.

I didn't get to start watching until the 3rd Q...What were Rondo's stats this game?

Thanks...

 

Seems like if Rondo has a good game the Celtics win...

 

He seemed to be MIA when I was watching...

Didn't look like Garnett was having too solid a night. If I was the Celtics I would worry that to me, the Lakers still haven't played a really solid game. If they put that one together for game six then you go to game 7 with no momentum at all...

Rondo has to play more than 15 min. for the Celtics to win. IMO. Maybe his ankle will get better before game 6.

I don't see the Lakers getting off to those great starts in Boston but they haven't played there best ball either. Imo LA steals at least one in Boston but i've said LA in 7 from the start and am sticking to it.

[MJAlltheWay24]

I am not sure why Rondo didn't play much at all in the second half because during his play in the first half it really didn't look like his ankle was giving him any trouble.

 

As for KG, I think a big part of the reason that he isn't scoring to much is honestly because he isn't getting the ball in great opportunities. Pierce was driving and shooting tons last night (and he as hot, so he should) and Allen was getting his shots as well. There are just so many shot to go around. I don't think they go to him enough.

The scary part about the Lakers is they still haven't put together a solid game. As bad as they've played they're still in this series.

 

Game 1 the foul disparity was much in favor of the Celtics and they still only lost by 6. Game 4 L.A blew a 24 point lead. You have to feel like the Lakers are bound to have a break out performance. I felt they were much more effective last night with both Farmar and Fisher in there with Kobe, Odom, and Gasol.

The officiating was really sketchy in the 4th....almost as if the NBA wanted this back in Boston...Kobe seems to disappear for long periods of times during games...I think this one ends Tuesday night.

[Big Slick]

I think Doc benches Rondo, so Kobe can't be free to double team.
