Lakers (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game 3 6/8

[Drucci]

Terrible end of the first quarter, sucks after such energy. Don't like the officiating at all (are we still playing in L.A or what?!) but the C's played poor D at the end and Ray and Paul went 0/10 combined on WIDE OPEN shots... have to make these, and starting right now.

Is there anyone on the Lakers that Davis can guard?  Personally I'd only put him on Bynum.  He absolutely cannot guard Odom

Uhh, didn't Baby shut down Odom on every possession so far in this series?

[Bynum4MVP]

Lakers trying their best to make sure Paul Pierce comes back to LA.

Yikes...horrible way to end the quarter. Wasn't expecting that after such a good start. 

Got to come out better in the second quarter, can't let them extend the lead.

[Mr October]

Now I'm getting nervous.

The C's are getting good looks though. Just gotta knock em down! Go Celtics!!

+7 to -9.  How the heck does a 21-to-5 run happen?

The NBA, where sorry excuses for referees happen.

Seriously, the Celtics did some things wrong but when you can't even look at the other team for fear of sending them to the free-throw line, what do you do?

[Casperian]

Are we really 21-5 in the last 6 minutes? Pff

After the good start, seeing the "swagger" on the faces in green, I probably shouldn´t be too surprised by this meltdown. Our guys have to keep their heads down and just play their game.

well..it is going to be an uphill struggle tonight. lakers dont get called for anything and boston is called for everything....looks like we are back to game one

Someone put a lid on our basket.  That was some of the ugliest jump-shooting I've seen.  Mostly we gotta settle down and start doing our thing.  Reel them in through the second guys, let's go!

Dude, come on! It's not the referees. It's missed jumpers missed rotations and bad ball movement.

[RebusRankin]

Bad finish on O and D and the reffing is once again one sided.

I don't recall him being on Odom mostly.. he had to play Bynum, Gasol, etc.

Outside of Garnett and a couple of early heads up plays from Rondo ... the C's really haven't gotten much going offensively.

Strange to see Pierce have Walton on him and not take advantage. He has got to punish Walton in that matchup. Not necessarily with his scoring but by putting more pressure on their defense and creating a shooting opportunity (for himself or others).

[ejk3489]

Of course.

That was a horrible call there on the Kobe drive.
