Although CP could''ve wreaked some serious havoc on the Boston D, I'm not sure we could've found enough points as a team to get past them. Need Tyson to take that inside scoring to that next level for when we get to the finals next year...

I was like, Wait, did they include Chris Paul in that sentence? Did that happen? Damn, we're lucky.

They should be pounding him inside. No one on the Lakers can stop him there unless they commit hard to a double team, but Phil has been loath to allow their shooters to get open, and doesn't always have his guys do that. Also, Rondo has been most potent when driving to the basket. The Lakers have been susceptible for awhile to slashing point guards: one reason we've done well against them. So why doesn't Doc order either? PP is their saving grace and he's basically iso-ing everyone when he's not in foul trouble. Now, if you're into conspiracies...Lakers-Celtics are going to 7 games. The funny thing is, I look for the refs to help whomever is losing tonight. But then, after that, I'm not sure if they care. Although, the advantage definitely goes to the Celtics. The Lakers will be back next year with Bynum. The C's will all be a year older and some guys maybe gone (Cassell, P.J.). So, based on conspiracy theory, I'd say Celtics in 7. Although, on the flip side, has anyone noticed how it's impossible to read an NBA Finals article without being told that teams are 0-28 when down 3-1 in the finals? Kobe's first ring without Shaq? Phil crowned the winningest Finals coach ever with a win over the team (Celtics) who made the coach he's passing (Red Auerbach)? That's not bad either. Of course, the conspiracy says that either way, the result was forced, cheating us all. If you believe in conspiracies, that is. I think the failing of KG is a coaching failure.

Paul Pierce can Ray Allen can even Poesy and House can. KG's just not a closer. He doesn't want to push the winning shot. Great player though. As for him being a MVP for the celtics... please maby for the timberwolves, but for Boston? He's not a facilitator at all. He looks like a statue. I don't think I've seen him laugh or even smile. He looks like the lead chactor of God of War. I'm glad to see him on a winning team my god the man deserve 8 championships. He gives all he can every game, i respect that. Chris Paul is the best point guard in the leauge. I can't say that about KG and his position. Kevin Garnett is like circle K… can’t close. Paul Pierce can Ray Allen can even Poesy and House can.

At least if the Lakers lose, mW can take consolation that he was right in what he's been saying all season (and took crap for in the blogger MVP voting by the way)... KG isn't and was never the MVP of the Celtics. (And therefore <em>definitely</em> not MVP over CP3.) Funny how nobody saw that one. Huh.

I wouldn't be excited about the win if I were the Lakers. Even the announcers, who are usually vehemently pro-LA, said as much. It was way too close. Celtics in Boston is that much sweeter.

So the question of the night, what happens in the final minutes when someone fouls someone without the ball, you get the free throws, and the ball(the hack a shaq created this rule) so of course the refs do not want to call it, but the question is who the hell are they to decide not to call that foul, isn't a foul a foul. Also lamar odom has a moment where he is yelling at the ref and mimics the exact same motion that vladamir radmonivic does earlier that gains him a technical.......the more I watch the more I think it is fixed, they constantly talk about ratings, and they constantly talk about how many things that are happening in this series that has never happened before, I hate to become a conspiracy type of person but when i see these things all fall together it makes me sick.
