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

[CoachBo]

Rondo was fabulous in the second half. Ray in the first.

HUGE win on a night when two of our main guys were horrible.

Loved the defense in the fourth period.

Gotta get Pierce and KG going offensively, and we've got to do a better job on the boards Tuesday night.

[Redz]

A thing of beauty!  Big time clutch play by Rondo.

[Yugocelt]

THAT WAS HUGE!

CELTICS!!!  

[Kwhit10]

The best 4th quarter by the Celtics in a while.

Way to go C's.

Who's ready for 3 straight games in Boston? 

[Tenacious D]

oh man that block by rondo on fisher was incredible.

play of the game. That, and Nate's mini-explosion

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

We had the 4Rs going tonight:

Ray, Rasheed, Robinson, and Rondo!

Nate was huge in the beginning of the fourth. Rondo needed a rest and he did exactly what we brought him in to do. Big props for Nate.

Can't say enough about how great Rondo was tonight. He was just fantastic.

Celtics! Hoo-RAH!!! This was absolutely huge. Team showed great resolve. Ray needed to have an all time half to keep us in the game in the first half and put on one of the best shooting displays the Finals has ever seen. Love to see that KG came up big at the end. Nate was ESSENTIAL in this win. Pierce's shot was off, but he really did do everything else.

couple of thoughts about this game:

-refs were terrible as usual, for both sides.
-perk played better
-i dunno if its just foul trouble but theres something wrong with kg
-kinda sloppy game for pp, but at least he played well defensively
-i love playoff sheed!
-quality minutes for nate
-love baby's hustle despite some bad decisions
-Rondo'd!
-Jesus!

Disapointing loss.

Incredible shooting by Ray Allen.

Good game Celtics, we'll see what happens in Boston.

Time to go have some whiskey and forget this loss.

Dude, you've earned that whiskey.  If shoe were on the other foot I'd be really frustrated.

[andrewf]

This team never ceases to amaze me. Amazing

Here I am visiting from the chat.

Uh...I'm speechless. Did that REALLY happen? : ) Did we REALLY steal a game in LA despite the FT disparity?

Believe it. That's Celtics basketball baby, where ANYTHING IS POSSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Oh, and who wants a TP? 

[RJ87]

Wow - this was truly Rondo's game in crunch time.  One more baby step toward superstardom.

Impressive, gutsy performance by Rondo in my opinion. You got the feeling he didn't want to lose this one, and he played hard.

Seriously, the difference between 2008 Rondo and 2010 Rondo is remarkable. I may be younger than Rondo, but I feel like a proud parent right now.

[misha]

Maybe now the media will start to look at C's as equals and stop the whole Lakers parade.

Amazing to say given how good Ray was in the first half, and he was all-time great, but I think Rondo was the mvp of this game. Well, they're co-mvp's, we'll divide it up by halves.
