gotta love when kobe goes into full stat-pad mode. 24 point game, still in with 6 minutes left and takes 3 straight shots (plus 2 ft's on a bad call) when he realizes he only has 20 points because of the ease of the victory. make that 4 shots.
I understand that, but at least they have Bynum on the floor and can use his length/physique as a presence. Kind of the way Yao, even with a broken foot in Game 3 last year, was still a valuable player. I think it'd help the Celtics' immensely even to have a hobbled Perkins out there, just because of his strength in post D. Unfortunately, that has torn ACL written all over it. By the way, I'm continually amazed at Shelden Williams. I've seen a lot of bad players in my day, but he's just an embarrassment to the NBA. Blows my mind.
Gotta love it when the Lakers rape the Celtics. Kobe's teammates finally found their man pants! In before the Boston lovers start blaming the refs.
Refs weren't to blame. (Well, there WERE some questionable calls in the third when Pierce continuously got hacked inside.) The Celts didn't play well, and Perkins was injured. That's it. No real controversy in this game.
I know I was convinced that he was going to be a solid NBA player. I was actually hoping that he would slip to 8 I was thinking..well his wingspan is amazing! D'OH!!
Two things stood out from this game. one: That was one of the best national anthems I've heard in a while. Two: Christina was looking hotter than ever. I bet Kobe was thinking, "damn, I'd hit that, after watching a couple of old MJ press conferences." Three: Is andy garcia preparing to play the role of Josef Stalin? what a stache. Ok. I guess that's 3 things not 2.
Im not a fan of LA but [insert here] sucks chant is used by pretty much every team. Even Houston fans used "Utah Sucks" during our playoff series a couple years back.
Glad I wasn't the only one who immediately noticed Shelden Williams' incompetence on the court today.
