Celtics (0-1) at Lakers (1-0) Game 2 6/6

[Spilling Green Dye]

Well the good news is that they go into the 4th quarter with a tie score and the best shooter on the floor. 

Rasheed is playing great, hopefully he doesn't foul out.

In fairness, the Lakers are pounding it into the paint and the Celtics big men have done nothing inside + their only offense has come from Ray Allen's catch and shoot opportunities.

LA's play generates a lot of fouls. Boston's doesn't.

There should be a large difference in fouls + FTAs.

I agree, there should be a disparity but some of the calls have been dubious. The PP and Baby blocks were egregious. But yes, the Lakers should have more FT's, though I don't think it should be 23 more. They are getting the bailout calls in the paint everytime where as The C's are getting none. And foul trouble has effected the game in our whole frontcourt being in foul trouble. It has effected rotations and the defense we think we can play.

The C's haven't played well in the 4th quarter all year. This game shouldn't even be this close!!!

 

[misha]

And now Lakers have a rested Kobe.

And while we focus on how bad the bigs are playing, I forgot to notice that Paul Pierce is stinking out the joint.

He could really be the difference in this game.
He still has a quarter to make up for it though

[Tenacious D]

BBD took a body slam on that last layup attempt but no call. Its as if the refs are thinking well, they can get over Davis, cant be a foul.

[Drucci]

Rondo has played his heart out and he is exhausted. Give Nate some time to start the 4th.

I can't even complain that we're ot attacking the basket 'cause we are but Baby never gets some CALLS. Disgusting when the softest touch on the other end guarantees the Fakers free throws.

We can still do it, come on!!

[Who]

Rasheed Wallace is a +17 tonight. Wow.

Crazy +/- from Sheed. Tony Allen is a +8, BBD a +5.

Those three players are the only Celtics with positive +/-.

[RJ87]

They gotta AT Kobe and get that 6th foul.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

oh baby...he dunked...thank you....kobe foul...yes..!
this one will be a squeezer....bynum has goaltended...Boston don't get TV replay rights in TV land...!

[slamtheking]

exhibit A why the C's need a big man that can play above the rim. 

[RJ87]

How long do you leave Rondo on the bench??
