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

[Who]

Garnett and Perkins had great first halves. Garnett looked very good offensively and did a good job on the glass and Perkins was excellent rebounding wise.

Outside of those two players ... no-one else has more than 2 rebounds for the Celtics.

Rasheed -- 1 board in 10 minutes
BBD -- 1 board in 8 minutes
Pierce -- 2 boards in 21 minutes
Ray -- 1 rebound in 19 minutes
Rondo -- 2 boards in 18 minutes

TA -- 2 rebounds in 8 minutes -- nice work by TA too

Rebounding has played a huge role in this series so far and LA is winning that fight tonight. The Celtics perimeter players and backup big men need to step it up in the second half.

[Ed Teach]

We need to get Ray some open looks.  We need him to spread the defense.

Pierce sighting!!!

Pierce sighting!!!

Defense sighting!!!!

[Who]

I like Paul moving Artest off of screen and looking for a catch and shoot opportunity. That has been the best way to attack Ron Artest all season ... I'd like to see more of that from Pierce.

[Drucci]

REBOUND PLEASE!!

at least the D is better this half.  PP hit a shot.  hope these FTs help get Ray on track

[RJ87]

We need to get Ray some open looks.  We need him to spread the defense.

He was wide open on his last attempt, just bricked it.

But he's going to the line, maybe it'll get him going.

[Roy Hobbs]

We need to get Ray going to the hoop, to get him going.

[slamtheking]

dumb 4th foul on PP.  needs to play smarter

[Who]

Leave Pierce out there. The team is just starting to get some momentum.

[slamtheking]

how was Ray not fouled?

[Drucci]

What does KG has to do to get FT's??!! Come on now.

He is smoking Gasol, keep going to him.

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]
