it was pretty even, maybe slightly towards the Celtics...
it was pretty good, ran into some cool Lakers fans, along with a bunch of donkeys...
I definitely saw more Celtics shirts and jerseys the whole weekend though... I had my green Beat LA shirt on while I was watching Game 4

All right, 3 minutes left in the first quarter and the Celts seem like they have come to play tonight. That was a horrible no-call where Lamar Odom stuck his fingers in Allen's face and damn near blinded him

Nice, lead is up to 23 after Big Man Perkins made a basket, still waiting for Kobe "Therapist" Bryant to actually realize that he's in a closeout game. Seriously those MJ comparisons need to end once and for all.

wow...if the lakers continue to play like this...it'll be fishing season for them....
odom is playhing decent..but gasol needs to get his ass in gear...i've always thought he was a good player but his "euro softness" has shown in most of this years playoffs...

with bynum, and assuming that he continues to improve from this season, the lakers have the best front line in the nba, i think. and with kobe and an improved farmar, i think they'll have a great chance at the finals again.
but they need more depth, and being in the west will make it even tougher.

I think that the only line that may give them trouble next year and the following years will be the Blazers, so long as Odom comes back from is injury.

^ yea they have a high draft pick again this season and i'm thinking they're gonna get another big man...aldridge has improved vastly and from what i've read oden got bigger, stronger, and better... portland will be a scary team for the next few years or more!

unless you're a celtics fan or a diehard lakers hater, this has been a crappy series clincher.
i wish it was competitive...i almost feel sad for the lakers. well, until i realize how much money they're making.

29 point lead going into the 4th quarter, the Celtics need to hold the ball until the shot clock is under 10 each of their upcoming possessions and not let the Lakers make a run like they did in game 2
