"Is That the Best You Got" by Jeff hits the nail on the head.

I was cautiously optimistic after winning the first 2 games but last night is the game that convinced me that the Celtics are a better team than the Lakers.

Why didn't the Lakers blow the Celtics off the court. They had home court, motivation, a little luck and the benefit of most of the close calls and almost lost. Pierce was horrible. Rondo was out. House was rusty. KG could throw the ball in the ocean.

I'm still just cautiously optimistic because a series can turn. But Gasol looks lost and overmatched (despite some key plays in the 4th). Odom has been no help. Fisher can't seem to keep up.

i already commented on the article, but i'll comment here too.

the whole article was completely spot-on. however there was the usual hint of cautiousness too. all we need to do in game 4 is play with intensity and aggression and the nba championship is ours.
