Bleeping Idiots

First off, Happy Father’s day, hope you enjoyed your holiday with your family.

Game 5 was another exciting game… Again, the Lakers dominated the first quarter, leading by as much as 17. Kobe had 15 points and 4 three-pointers, and LA led 39-22 after the first. Following the first quarter, Kobe was almost non-existent, scoring 0 points in the 2nd quarter. The Celtics rebounded back by going on a 15 – 0 run in the 2nd. At the half, the Lakers lead 55-52. The Celtic’s comeback was lead by Paul Pierce and the Celtic dominating defense. When I turned on the game a few minutes in, the first thing I thought was “here we go again”, I thought the Celtic’s didn’t have it in them to make another comeback of this margin. But again, I was proven wrong by them.

In the third, Kobe and KG racked up his 4th foul, and the Lakers took a 7 point lead off of back to back 3 point plays by Fisher and Radmonovic. The lead extended to 9 to end off the 3rd quarter. Again the Celtic’s are going to be forced to make another comeback in order to reach their first NBA championship in 22 years.

The 4th quarter lead immediately extended to 14 from a huge 3 by Lamar Odom. Sam Cassell slowly started taking over the 4th, scoring 7 consecutive Celtic points, and before you know it the Celtic’s were back in it tying the game 90-90. The Lakers end up surviving from two key play’s… Garnett’s two missed freethrows and Kobe’s steal and slam. Kobe finished with 25 points and Lamar Odom finished with 20. Paul Pierce played an unbelievable game again, finishing with 38 points. Ray Allen ended with 16, Garnett with 13.

Celtics 103-Boston 98

The Celtic’s continue to impress me game after game, with these huge deficit comebacks. But the Lakers pull it off and survive another day.
