Lakers (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Game 5 6/13

[Andy Jick]

Doc needs to be more in-tune with things tonight.  If I were him, I'd have left the bench in longer.  They are playing OUTSTANDING basketball tonight, and he can ride that group, because in essence, many of them are starters in this league anyway.

I wish he trusted that group more...  Our starters come back in and the lead evaporates.  Not wise coaching...

[RJ87]

Ray Allen needs to start playing or take a seat on the bench.

Amen.

[fairweatherfan]

We're shooting 64%, they're at 35.  O rebounds, turnovers, and and 8-0 FT differential is killing us now.  Gotta do better.

[Tai]

I'm not liking that the C's can't get FTs. That's horrid. We have NO FREE THROWS to the Lakers' 8.

Also, Perk needs to stop fumbling the ball.

Its getting ridiculous. We are better off with Nate Robinson on the court than Ray Allen right now.

I don't know if I'll go that far, but I will agree that he's struggling and needs to get his head back into the game.

sadly he got hit right in the hands under the basket with a nice pass and fumbled it almost out of bounds a couple of plays ago.  He just doesn't seem into it tonight

I'm so sick of Perk in this series. He's been outplayed by Bynum in every single game.

[RJ87]

Wow, a carried ball by Rondo.
I feel like I've never seen that before

[Who]

Lakers have 9 points off turnovers, and I haven't kept track but a ton of second chance points--we're gifting them back into the game.

Can we go the whole half without a free throw?

I think it's 8 second chance points. So that's 17 points off of effort plays.

Only 14 in other offensive sequences. Three three pointers so only 5 points in other halfcourt possessions ... presumably pick and roll play creating 1 or 2 of those hoops.

[gobos987]

i trust rondo with that jumper.  bad palming call there though

[Who]

Nice foul by Artest on Garnett.

Stupid reaction by Rajon Rondo. Lucky he only got a technical.

[RJ87]

Not smart, Rajon.

Though I love the feistiness.

[FallGuy]

Just me or is Rondo a turnover machine tonight?

[bruinsandceltics]

Rondo has made so many stupid decisions this game.

[Andy Jick]

dumb move, rajon.  that's the kind of stuff that leads to suspensions in this candy-ass league...
