One of the commentators said Kobe and Allen hate each other, don't know why.

I had to LOL @ the part where they had Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and others I can't remember and they were talking about Phil jackson and having ten rings and Chris Rock said "he's startin on the toes" haha.. that made me laugh picturing those massive rings on toes

Game 3, hopefully a better officiated game and oh yeah LA win. It's gonna be huge.

 

[ARon]

Kobe and Ray Allen hate each other for sure...this stems back to when Ray was playing in Seattle, most of you weren't paying attention to the Lakers back then, lol. It's a similar situation to when Allen Iverson went godly and took his pitiful Sixers team to the Finals only to get embarrassed by the Lakers...Kobe locked AI down during that series. Remember him making that huge block from behind, sort of, and AI crying like crazy. AI won the MVP that year but damn he was embarrassed during the Finals.

The Ray Allen Kobe thing reminded me of this

ugh

 

[ArtsyGirl]

uh oh.

 

[ARon]

Ray Allen starts 0-4....No Jesus Shuttlesworth this game...now KG starts 5-5.

Refs are calling a decent game so far, it's barely into the 1st but ya know

 

[ARon]

Lakers have the Celtics in some foul trouble sort of cus they keep taking the ball to the hoop, not cus of phantom calls, I like it lol

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Yep umpires arn't destroying the game yet.

And phew, it looked like it was gonna be a tough game to watch at the beginning.

Odom is playing well.

Hope Gasol can get control of KG.

 

[Kobe]

When Rondo tapped Kobe's elbow, Mark Jackson goes, "That's not a foul".

That was a good end to the 1st quarter considering how it started. Lakers are making the stops, they just need to score after they do.

 

[yak pac fatal]

kg looks like a new player out there. rondo and kg are the only ones with a field goal on the celtics.

finally odoms contributing to the lakers side.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Lakers bench need to stop living on the 3 and get it inside.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I hope they keep this lead, my heart can't take a close game.

 

[Kobe]

@ARon: Hey some of us have been Lakers fans even when Kurt Rambis was head coach

Notice how long it took the ref to blow the whistle after Fisher drew the charge on Allen? Jeez....

I also agree that the bench players need to get the ball inside as their shooting from behind the arc was difficult to watch. Some awesome plays in the 2nd quarter, especially the Bryant save to Bynum for the 3pt play. He also seemed much more animated during the half time interview, that's rare. I think the Lakers defense is doing a good job.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Bryant needs to remember his team right now.. Get Gasol going..

and a second later Gasol gets a shot..

 

[Kobe]

That was some insane defense by both teams in the 3rd quarter. Bryant is forcing issues a little too much even though he has made some crucial baskets. The rest of the Lakers need to get into it as well. Gasol and Odom especially. Its crazy watching Artest standing at the 3pt line with no confidence to shoot the ball, even when he's open. He's not been great so far in the finals but, if he has to shoot the ball to get into rhythm.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

This is getting hard to watch, no Laker is getting in position to do anything.. C'mon Lakers.


..

Umpire waited for Davis' shot to miss before he called a foul (that wasn't there)

 

[yak pac fatal]

4th quarter=derek fisher

kobes gotta stop forcing those jumpshots

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I <3 you Fisher. Lakers looked lost until he came out with those plays.

Looks like Celtics WILL be going back to LA! Take that Paul Pierce.

 

[ARon]

Yeah Paul Pierce is an idiot, he said the same thing about the Orlando series after they won both in Orlando...

Kobe makes those jump shots that's Kobe doing Kobe, he just missed tonight...those shots are why he is who he is, greatest closer we've seen...just usually he makes them lol

I take back everything I have said about Fish being old and slow and flippy floppin like he's on a boat. Summons his inner Mamba and wins the game for the Lakers, good shit.

Ray Allen, I want to call it a fluke, that game 2 of yours, but I know you can shoot well..tonight was just, I don't even know.

Lakers win the next, lose game 5, and win it all in LA, yeahhh!

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Kobe was just inconsistent, I think some he was forcing but others were just that the 4 other guys were nowhere to be found which you can say was Celtics defense or laziness but I'm just glad Fisher came through, he's redeemed himself.

I wasn't surprised Ray Allen had an off night, I think that usually happens when you have a freaky game. But I did think he'd get a few. Did he only have 2 points?

I want LA to win in LA. I hate when they win it on the road, just not the same vibe.

 

[Kobe]

By the way:

As for Fisher, sure. Lakers have been heavily lacking at the PG position even during the playoffs last year. I remember when Fisher hit that huge 3 pointer in the finals, plenty of Lakers fans sent in their apologies for doubting him the whole season (up to that point). Wherever the Lakers will get a PG from during the off season is really beyond me.

Lakers fans always trash Fisher, it's the same story every season. Somehow he makes a big play in the playoffs and then fans keep talking about how incredible he is. I'll be a fan of his as much as he keeps putting up bricks, making big shots, missing contested, blocked or uncontested lay-ups.

Ya'll gotta love your odds in whatever you do today. It's the only day you'd ever be able to shoot better than Bryant, and the Lakers still win a game at Boston to take a series lead in the NBA Finals. Go for it!!

Fisher: It was crazy how emotional he got, these guys really want redemption for 08, so do the fans.
