WELL THE LAKERS LOST..... And by the way they played tonight they deserved it.
Now those in my circle know that I'm notorious for being a big sh** talker- when it comes 2 playing around, telling jokes, playing video & board games- notorious!
But at the end of the day- one thing that I am NOT is a hater!
CREDIT GIVEN WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.....
And tonight the Celtics played a really good game.Defense was tight- Garnett hustled- Pierce did his thing- overall they repped Beantown proud in Game 1.
They did their best to contain Kobe as much as they could- sometimes it worked- at times it didn't. The best moment for me was in the 3rd quarter when Kobe was trying to drive the ball down the line and Celtics had him pinned in- he twisted & turned his body out of that only 2 hand the ball off 2 another player right under the basket who sunk it in- right in their face!
That was sweet but didn't last- we needed more moments like that.
I know we're known to be a second half team but we didn't bring it at all.
We were sloppy....all the turnovers and fouls.
Celtics still have home court advantage w/Game 2.
So boys I suggest you use the next 2 days wisely -study your tapes.
Stay out of the night clubs- step away from the groupie coochie- the wifey coochie- all of that!
FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS MAN....
This is what you've played hard all season for- this moment right now.
So act like it!
Kobe- show them not why you were NAMED MVP- but why you EARNED MVP.
LET'S DO THIS LAKERS LIKE WE KNOW YOU CAN! DANG IT! LOL

It's OK, Lakers! :)

First and foremost, I'm happy they did not lose by more than 10 points. This was a tough competition to begin with, so I'm not surprised that they'd lose the first game at Boston.

In addition to Paul Pierce's come back that helped Celtics to surge in the second half, what went wrong with the Lakers, was that they somehow could not make the shots! All the shots looked great and straight on, but they'd just go in and out of the basket. The Lakers went on a drought that lasted way too long. Luckily, the Celtics didn't capitalize on their drought TOO much, or else this would have turned out to be a 20+ point blow out.

Kobe was really calm tonight, that's why he didn't make too many shots. I like it when he gets mad, because that's when he performs at his best. The Lakers didn't even bother to foul the Celtics in the final minute and just let the clock ticked down. This tells me that the Lakers was using this first game to observe the Celtics.

Even with Lakers losing so many shots and with Kobe not fired up, we were still only down by 10 points, this tells me that at core, Lakers is a better team over the Celtics.

We will win the Finals and bring the trophy home! :)
