well that was a pretty good game for the most part, overall it was evenly matched and went down to the wire. however, it was a terrible end result considering the lead that we had in the 4th AND that the lakers were in the penalty and we only needed a 2 to win it. why jack up a 3 in that situation? why not drive to the hoop and draw contact? it really tweaks my nips to see stuff like that, especially in a game like this. the celtics needed to win that game to let us fans know that they’re going to be a contender. instead, we’ve lost 3 in a row to the 3 teams we’ll hopefully be meeting in the playoffs. newsflash – kobe’s not that good, we CAN stop him. we DID stop him for most of the game. the bastard just hit a lucky shot and then we blew it by throwing up a prayer (since ray was 0-5) instead of going to the bucket. i would’ve dumped it down to kg or had paul pierce drive through their entire squad rather than let ray allen shoot that 3. and don’t get me wrong, i’m all for ray allen shooting the 3 99% of the time – just not there. oh well, i guess it’s better than the airball sheed threw up there the other night. can’t win em all.
