Celtics (0-0) at Lakers (0-0) Game 1 6/3

[Drucci]

Doesn't look good... and the refs are not helping. We improved our D but the offensive rebounds kill us time and time again.

[Kuberski33]

Lakers are playing great.  C's would need their A game -- maybe their A+ game to win tonight.

The better news is this can't continue.  They'll come back down to earth in Game 2.

Awful.

Why isn't Sheed back in the game he's been our best player.

[celticinorlando]

game 2 is looking to be pretty big. this effort tonight is very disappointing

[Tenacious D]

Kind of early to wave the flag, but Im beat and this is one ugly game to watch anyhow (thanks, D Stern for letting Joey and co make it all about THEM). Carry it on, fellas.

Has Rondo took anyone off the dribble once, twice??

Wow

[CelticSooner]

Kobe has a free pass to the rim. No chance of winning the series much less this game if that continues.

[aporel#18]

ok, it's Celtics time!!!

Regroup and play defense, forget about the foul trouble... The refs are calling it the way Phil Jackson wanted, and so the Celtics can't play hard on Defense.

Let's go Celtics!!!

glory isn't about a game... but we want this one!

De-Fense!!!

[droopdog7]

Their size definitely a factor. If we are to have any hope inthis series we will have to minimize it.

[Thruthelookingglass]

Hang in there.  Even if we can't close, let's put a little fear in them.  Game 1 can set up Game 2. And if we can close, let's see the daggers come out!!!

[slamtheking]

finally caught Gasol on a flop

[GreenFaith1819]

Nice shot, Perk! Need those pts

[Drucci]

What a FLOP...

[Roy Hobbs]

Pau Gasol is looking like Wilt Chamberlain down low.  The Celts need to box out.

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

...and Gasol shown for the horrible flop. Finally.

We're playing horribly but down 9. One little run and we are right back in it. I'm not throwing out the last month for 30+ minutes. This isn't over. But we need to hit the boards a lot harder.
