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

[FanInTheSouth]

In all honesty I don't think Ray's shot hit the rim, of course he also didn't follow Kobe on that late 3.

Kobe had a heck of a third quarter and we won so I can say it.

Pierce was fantastic. Rondo was good but turned it over too much.
KG played great.

TA's block was sick.

I actually thought there was one angle on the shot that looked like the shot hit the rim.  They only showed it once though so it's really hard to say.  All the other angles were pretty inconclusive.

I think most of us expected/hoped we'd take 2 of 3 in Boston.  Game 3 was tough and it felt scary after that game.  The C's have now won 3 of 4 and it feels good to need 1 win while LA needs 2.

Yeah, that was strange. There was an angle from the top that pretty clearly showed it hitting the rim but then they chose the worst possible angle to show after the time out.

Yea 3 of the 4 angles you can't tell, but that 1 angle they only showed once and the trajectory definitely changed.

TP's for all---when it doesn't mess up your new TP number---but I hope they're all being contributed to the cause....Roy--a lot of work for you but it is definitely worth it.

Such a difference between hearing Doc and Phil. Even with all those rings, I would take Doc to coach my team every time.

Fakers can't beat us in game 6. Refs can...but i hope they will not. Man we won 2 of 3 in Boston with Ray shooting 0/16 from 3pt land. BEAT LA.

without bynum...boston can get to the rim whenever they want...gasol is now back to gasoft

Sorry guys, but I'm sticking with the same player pictures for game 6. We won games 4 and 5 with them and I'm not changing them now.  Great win. 

My favorite play of the game... Garnett to Pierce to Rondo for the layup.  Incredible TEAM ball by the Celtics.  Again the Lakers doubled us on FT's.  26-13 even after the intentional fouls at the end.  Sad.   Now we have 2 chances to close it out.  GO CELTICS!!!!

We lost game 3 and I had to go away with my school for 3 days of camp. No Internet or TV. Missed the privotal game 4. Watched it on tape on Friday. Fantastic. Then tonight. Man pretty good weekend even with having to write report cards.

Pierce is glowing in the post-game press conference.

TP for the cause...I'm with you--those pictures are doing this team well

I'm telling you all---Rondo looked like DJ on that cut. The lineage of Celtics PG's continues...

[fairweatherfan]

Hoo boy - what a win.  Pierce, Rondo, & KG all fantastic.  And Ray and Perk with solid although unspectacular games.  Best game from our starting 5 as a whole all series. 

The journey is not quite over yet though - gotta get 1 more!!!

That catch Rondo made by reaching back and one handing the ball on the catch and then hitting the layup is about a 9.5 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. If Bill Belichick saw that he should be calling Rondo's agent offering him a contract as a wide receiver. That was an amazing catch.
