    Not so convincing win for the Celtics. Good to see Ray Allen back on form (consistently) as he had some shocking games early in the playoffs. From what I saw of the last few moments, the turnovers from the Celtics were due to people being too stationery although it could've been a case of Doc saying give it to pierce and gtfo of the way. Big game for Powe of the bench.

    One game in LA would still take it to game 6 so not exactly quick!

    What you dont understand?I am saying if they come back home with 3-1,judging by how they are playing good at home it can finish 4-1 and thats quick finals over for me

    :rolleyes:

    Oh jesus, you shouldn't try and be smart when you are totally wrong!

    The NBA Finals are a 2-3-2 format!! So to explain that for you,the next three games are in LA and the last 2 in Boston...if necessary that is!

    Lakers 87-81 Celtics :Celtics lead 2-1

    Kobe 36 with and Sasha with 20.....huge games! Pierce and Garnett weren't great at all,Allen had 25 carring them along with the bench!

    There's some hilarious **** comes out when they're off-air:

    At one point in Game 1 Van Gundy accused Jackson of trying to earn brownie points with the camera crew

    Before Game 2 Jackson nearly had a child when he realised the cue buttons had been changed around by the techies.

    Also, try to keep count of how many times they pick up on each other in each game for not being able to pronounce Vujacic! :D

    This loss lies in Phil Jacksons hands, and his alone.

    The Celtics are on a scoring bonanza, going on 13-3 run. And he decided to keep Farmar and Sasha. While the way better defenders Fisher and Ariza are on the bench.

    Fish should play for at least 30 minutes in a game.

    Never thought Phil Jackson would ever be outcoached in a Finals game but that was a big reason for the C's win

    Don't think it was a case of out coached! Lakers got into too much of a comfort zone and started to take it too easy,Pau went back to going easy at the basket and kept missing! There was one stage where it was 24-7 and Jackson took a time out,now that wasn't understandable and you could see Fisher questioning that decision,if he hadn't called that god knows what the momentum could of done!

    Disagree completely. Anytime a team gives up a 20 point lead blame always has to start at the top. He had no answers for the Celtics defense, did nothing to keep the Celtics out of the paint, and likely coughed up the season.

    Mark Jackson annoys the **** out of me. Go Celts! I hope Vujacic does his cruciates!

    This is my first post in this section of boards. Firstly apologies to Lafortezza for giving the result in the poker section. But I was just so excited by the comeback that I had to post it.
    I don't think the Lakers have any excuse for blowing a lead as big as this one. On the other side of the coin, the Celtics have shown that there is more to this team than just the names, there is great heart and a never say die attitude. This has been shown all through the playoffs not just in this game.

    Paul Pierce is a legend, an honourable player who has stuck with the Celtics through some tough times.

    Oh and its over, there is no way back now. Just look at my sig.:D

    No worries eagleeye. I spoiled the first 3 games for myself before watching so its not a big deal. There was time in game 4 where the Lakers just could not get open and good shots, the Celtics defence was so good. Even Kobe was guarded very well by Pierce and by Allen.
    KG and pierce could get decent shots 1v1 if they ran a clearout play.

    Also, another Celtics amazing comeback from 6 years ago:

    Parts 1 to 5. Pierce was a beast back then too.

    Lakers 103-98 Celtics : Celtics lead 3-2

    Bit of a scrapy game IMO,Lakers threw away a 19 point lead again!

    Heads back to Boston now!

    Great play by Kobe at the end. Kind of hoping this goes to a Game 7 now as I'll get to watch it if it does.

    Pierce/Kobe for Finals MVP as well, can't see it going to anyone else.

    I'm looking to watch Game #6 on NBA.com this evening - However, I can't get a tip-off time from anywhere on the site. Anyone any idea what time I should start watching at? I know it'll be some ungodly hour, but still :)
