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

[kw10]

Pau should've gotten a tech by the refereeing standards with the way he carried on (swinging his arms and elbows) after the tip-in.

passing to perk,,,,why...he is so bad, no hands.....i is hs fault rondo got the T...why did he dish to kg....dunk, lay it up...first you want to fast break, then you are afraid of the hole from 2 feet......

[Ohio Celtics Fan]

Enough is enough. Sit Ray Allen.

Ray is playing great D on Kobe and, regardless of his misses, he's still the best shooter in the history of the game. As long as he's D-ing up Kobe, I want him on the floor.

lakers getting away with moving screens left and right...kobe throws an elbow at rondo...no call....come on...call those both ways

Agreed, sir.

And then Gasol trying to bait Perk after the tip in

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

Nice foul by Artest on Garnett.

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

As opposed to what? A technical may be merited there but what else would you call that he was lucky to get away with? A T, fine. nothing more could realistically be called there.

and hey we got some free throwS!!

Any time you raise your hands and initiate physical contact you are liable to getting ejected.

I don't like it but that's the way it is.

but that was a hand on an arm. i agree that it is absurd and they police the game too much but, really, that wasn't risking an ejection. I don't mind what Rondo did there. That wasn't risking an ejection, getting Artest away from KG on the ground with a hand on an arm risks a T and nothing more...eh, 2 cents and all but whats done is done.

Heck, Gasol was just throwing elbows on that tip-in but no whistle so there you go.

[Drucci]

Nice run after we screwed up big time with (once again) totally unprovoked turnovers!! Sloppy.

But Pierce's 3 was huge. If Ray had made that 3, the place would have exploded...! But he can't hit a 3 pointer since game 2. However his D on Kobe is great so... Kobe is back into hero mode, keep it up!

[mahonedog88]

Ray is killing us.  His defense on Kobe has been superb.  So at least we're keeping him out there for that.  But what has happened to his shot?

I know you can never blame a loss of a game or series on one person...but if we go on to lose this game/series and he continues to stink up the joint with his shot...I don't care what anyone says, it's a HUGE factor.

[Spicoli]

All these turnovers are unforced. I've never seen this team play dumber basketball. Rondo seems out of control out there.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

nice elbow to rondos neck by kobe there...uhm, no call.....

[celticinorlando]

ray has to get his head in the offensive end

[slamtheking]

Gasol was trying to get a double T. Yes Phil, your team doesn't do that stuff

that's exactly what they'll keep trying to do the rest of this game and the next

[bruinsandceltics]

Enough is enough. Sit Ray Allen.

No because Tony Allen can play better defense than Allen, and do the same on the offensive end.

Pau should've gotten a tech by the refereeing standards with the way he carried on (swinging his arms and elbows) after the tip-in.

I was about to say that! Pau's swinging was more T worthy than what Rondo did.

ray cannot guard kobe and be a pure shooter..too tiring kobe is tough to guard

[jimmehx]

I wanna see our guys flopping on every piece of contact.

We need free throws.
