    The Celtics are a very good team, and yeah, they play great defense. But you have to admit that a lot of the "defense" is actually illegal picks and other fouls. Those were finally called last night. You can call it playing "tough" or call teh Lakers soft or whatever, but bottom line, they are fouls. You can't rake a guy's elbow and expect not to get called for a foul. The Lakers have been extremely frustrated, and the frustration came from a combination of two things: tough defense, and also getting butchered with no foul calls. You have to acknowledge that if you know basketball, which it sounds like you do. These are not excuses, just looking at the whole picture. But yeah, to answer your question, the Lakers have not played to their abilities at all. If they continue not to, they will lose, obviously.

    How does defense and illegal picks correlate?

    You disagree that the Celtics were properly called for fouls last night? All I said was they finally started making some calls. I don't think anyone withing reason could dispute that.

    They took Pierce out fo the game at different points by calling ticky tacky fouls - but I guess that is what you expect when the Zen master gets all whiny about how is team isn't getting to the line - you know why because outside of Kobe the team is a bunch of jump shooters - that is it - soft players all around - especially Gasol. How do allow a back up center to dribble up the court 60 feet and go uncontested for a dunk...because your soft.

    Injuries (now 3 of the starting 5 banged up) only thing that can stop the C's. I already got my tiks for games 6 and 7 - just in case.

    Gasol is not a real center, as you know. He is a stop gag, and he is also from Spain and plays like a Spanish forward. The Lakers have played badly, I do not disagree. It's actually very irritating.

    I don't think you have to worry about those "injuries." I have to say though the Lakers are getting schooled by the Celtics in pshychological warfare. Did you see the Celtic bench try to carry Rondo off yesterday? Haha. He told them no, but I think some of those guys wanted to pull another hero thing. DOn't worry - those injuries are just normal day to day things most of tehse guys are playing with at this point in the year.

    Probably a good call on the tickets. We'll see. I think if the Celtics clinch in LA, they showed they were the better team. Should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow and Sunday.

    I am very comfortable with last nights loss. It actually makes me more confident.

    Ultimately, we're all just going to have to see what happens. This is fun.

    Also, I have absolutely no way to back this up, but here are my odds of the Lakers winning the championship:

    After game 2: 25%
    After game 3: 33%
    If they win game 4: 49%
    If they lose game 4: 5%
    If they win games 4 and 5: 67%
    If they win game 4 and lose game 5: 10%

    So there you have it. You Celtics fans can relax. You're in the driver's seat. The Lakers have to sweep in LA. No two ways about it.

    That is exactly how I feel. Plus. as bad as it was they were in it, unlike in other road games where it looked bad from the beginning.

    Wouldn't that be a heroic underdog comeback. It will be tough though.

    Ugh. What an ugly game last night. Can I retract my confidence about the Lakers winning all three in LA? Also, is it too late for the Lakers to get Kwame back for Pau? Kobe and Sasha dragged the lifeless heap known as the LA Lakers to a victory last night. Odom? Is he even playing in this series? Seriously, Celtics fans, you guys have nothing to worry about if the Lakers not named Kobe continue to play like this.

    I have to say I largely agree, but I am still hopeful something will click.

    How nice would Andrew Bynum be right about now?

    I'm not sure I remember a bigger front line at the 3, 4, and 5 than what LA will start next year. Well, didn't the Spurs have their own triple towers a few years back? I can't remember who would have been the third tower...

    The Lakers will be the class of the league next year. That much is for sure. That's why the Celtics need to get this one now. Thiscould be their only chance at a ring.
