Lakers (38-9) at Celtics (41-9) 2/5

I noticed big baby's shooting technique, and he won't get far shooting that way. He rises his arms while jumping, and he starts pulling the ball up from his hip. He needs to get low and catch the ball in height of his chest.

Looks like we ended the half well.  What did Pierce do that was so special?

Turnover by the celtics, Pierce hustled all the way back on a laker 3-1 break and managed to block the layup while falling away at a bad angle

Nice play by Rondo.

Good play for Ray.

The Celts showed up late but they're here.

Big block on a fastbreak. Swatted Fisher's layup like a fly.

Much obliged!

Let's get the lead going in to the half.

You got it!

AHHHHH that would've been sweet to knock that one down Ray.  How bad is your defense if you leave him wide open like that.

I know especially after the announcers said there was no way Fisher was going to leave him open.

Theres been plenty of worse looking shots in the NBA that have been successful.  Let him keep doing whats working for him.

Celtics just need to start hitting shots.  If half of the ones that were halfway down actually fell, Cs would be up by 8 or so.

And Rondo needs to go to the rim and actually look to score.  So frustrating!

[celticinorlando]

glad the refs let them play from about 8 minutes on....

[RebusRankin]

I'll take a one point lead at the half given our play.

Hopefully LA is getting tired (third game in 4 nights).

Ray is getting great looks, hope they start falling in the second half.


Oh and how can they say you're a good defensive team when you leave an all time great shooter like Ray so open?

[celticmaestro]

We need one of those trademark big third quarters.

I have doubts about our ability to close this game if it's close.

BEAT LA!

[celticinorlando]

boston had GREAT looks all half....shots just need to drop and i like the work on the glass offensively in the second
