Celtics (3-3) at Lakers (3-3) Game 7 6/17

[Thruthelookingglass]

even though the refs have let them play, there's still been questionable calls already

There was plenty of room for more quetionable calls.  We are surviving the odd calls for now.  But our big guys need to be able to play without the distraction of foul trouble.  This will be a near thing if we can pull it off.  (Please, PLEASE pull it off!)

With a strong push in the second quarter this Laker team will turtle.


GUARANTEED!!!!

[Casperian]

we look very good, the focus is definitely there

Good solid first quarter...it's great that we've been able to take the crowd out of it, at least for now.

You can attribute about 50% of the off. rebounds we give up to forcing of poor shots that produce long rebounds. The rest is just Kg's age, imo.

Baby came in and gave a lot.

Need to rebound.

The defense was stellar. Boards and second chance points hurt but the D was excellent. Keep it up.

I'm only in during time outs and commercials tonight...keep up the D and hit the boards.

[Tai]

How'd we only allow 14 points the 1st quarter?

[slamtheking]

Sheed was fouled twice on that move under the basket.  refs have got to call something for the C's down there.

Good foul by Tony Allen.

Don't let Odom get a layup + don't make one of your bigs take the foul.

[jimmehx]

I don't think that was a good option from BBD.

[jdpapa3]

Sheed was absolutely hammered in the post there. Dan Crawford poor job.

[Drucci]

TA and Rondo both on the court help the Lakers D way too much... don't like it.

[Its not easy]

I am so proud of them after that quarter.  Yes, the Lakers beat them on the offensive boards, but who cares when LA shot 22% from the field!!  That quarter just erased game 6.
Only 3 more to go!!!

[Who]

Teams that miss free throws in big games ... lose

[ACF]

Kobe looks mad already. Good.
