Hm, just when I thought we couldn't get off to a worst start...

[Last Train]

Did they learn nothing from game 4?

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Im sorry but Rondo sucks as a floor general on the road in the playoffs. He always seems to get rattled and is afraid to be aggressive, especially to open games. I hope we don't stick with him too long if he has nothing positive to contribute.

Yeah. I agree. Passing up way too many shots.

Didn't like how Leon started the game perfomance wise. Not encouraging. Let's hope he comes back stronger than that.

I'm already starting to get way to frustrated with this game.  If the Lakers go out to a huge lead and it looks like they're going to, there's no way in hell there's gonna be another huge comeback so we have to keep this close.  

Jumpshots already not falling.

Rondo skipping out on a WIDE OPEN layup.  He's killing me, he's played awful on the road in these finals and in the playoffs in general.  If I were coach of this team for tonight, I'd put Rondo on a VERY short leash.  If he stinks of the court too much in the first half, I'm playing House the whole second half.

First 4 possessions, 4 turnovers.

Is it just me or do they seem to slipping and sliding all over the floor right now?

[CoachCowens]

The refs have been typical thus far. Helping LA to a quick start. Pau tip in should have been a non call. Pierce kept his pivot on that slip. Fisher flopped when he hit the camera. 

[larry_nerd]

im not worried. its only 13 and everyone and their mother is draining shots on the fakers. they cant keep this up, and even though we dont look great, we'll get better , plus we are answering on possesions. keep it close and then move in for the kill....

I'm sick listening to Breen

Mute is your friend





PS. Awe I just became Perkins, I liked being Posey, not a good omen looks like I might have to sit out this game.

[RebusRankin]

Lakers are crazy hot shooting. Doesn't help the refs are letting them hack and foul. KG's foul was BS. Everybodys getting hit inside.

[Chief]

Alright, we took their best shot. Now game on.

[mahonedog88]

This is ridiculous.  I don't wanna watch this again.  I don't wanna go through this again, especially since we aren't going to come back for a second game in a row.  Stop playing like crap guys and play some [dang] defense.

You don't want more pressure on you than you need.  

And as surprised as I am to say this myself, give Rondo one more chance on the court.  If he sucks yet again, don't play him the rest of the night.  We've been playing so much better with Eddie out there.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Well, I'm a little confident this time around even though we're down big. Can we make it two historical comebacks? Sure hope so.
