God bless Leon.  I've read that story a lot of different times but putting the pictures and interviews to it made it even more powerful.  What a great story he has become. 
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

These 2 games I´ve seen Kobe completely lost and scared for the first time.

Who knew that Kobe would be the Achilles' heel of the team so far

Adjust at halftime? That's what Kobe said after Game 1, and he still hasn't adjusted. That boy just loves playing H-O-R-S-E by himself too much.

Chuckle. I forgot one.

This LA team is the worst defensive team we've played in the playoffs. Atlanta was better.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

 I honestly think the refs are going to be leaning towards the Lakers in the 2nd half.

There will be a run and the Celts have to hold together.

We have to expect a stronger performance by Kobe and Odom, but at the same time we have to expect a better game from KG as well.
I love my kids, call me a sap - it's true.

kg just needs to nut up and hit the low post going TOWARDS the hoop.

Also, what a story for Powe. No matter how many times i read about it or hear about it, it just gets better. Especially since i was living out in Berkeley during his junior year, i can just imagine what it was like for him growing up.

Couldn't say it better myself.  Exactly what going through my head.  If KG elevates his game I think that will hopefully be enough to overcome the run made by Kobe and the refs.

OK, hopefully this game goes according to the blueprint we had in the regular season for so many of our wins.

Build a modest lead in the first quarter with the starters. Build it a little with the bench. Take a 10-point lead in to the half. Get it up to 20 by the end of the third?

And, take turns with the Big Three taking over the game. Truth went off in the first half (and Ray helped out) so now it's turn for KG to step up. He can't shoot much worse. (Then again, the Radmonovich match-up on Truth is painful so we should milk that as long as we can.)

Thanks for the previous link ;D, though I think the " These refs are screwing us over and it's all their fault!!!! " posts had the combined rest at about a 12:1 ratio.

Hahaha wow good finds Roy.  We've been known to be hard on our boys and negative at times, but we don't give up on them like that.

Great start for the 2nd half. Loved the ball movement, loved the tenacity.

No doubt.  Their entire board is populated with sexyscottish clones.

I hope someone takes that Leon Powe story and puts it on youtube. That was great.

remember, free throws were 19-2, but fouls were only 17-10. not like they didn't call fouls on us, we just didn't foul them during shots as much.
