Playing bad at the end of the half. Please pick it up again, Cs.

i think kobe is purposely not shooting to prove a point

Not trying to prove a point ... he knows he can't win this game on his own and he's trying to get his teammates involved enough so that they can make a run.

had a chance to put them on the rack..instead three straight rondo bricks and the lakers are right back in

He's been known to do that. Oth, can you imagine him having to play with Carmelo, and have to, you know, actually Share?

His penetration to passing is more destructive to the Boston D than his chucking.

A great first quarter and a half; unfortunately, I was right when I said to myself that the Perkins play was the beginning of a momentum shift favoring L.A.

[Drucci]

Drive to the hole Rondo! Move or do something, but shooting the jumpers L.A gives you is just bad strategy.

Oh come on, as if this was the first game he can´t win on his own.

Nice patience offensively by LA in the halfcourt over the past few minutes.

[snively]

Wafer just a bit too spazzy to guard somebody like Kobe effectively.

Only one of his shots was a low % 1.  I approve.

[celticinorlando]

ok...survived the big run...still up 8...

[GreenFaith1819]

Not a bad half, considering our health.

[Who]

A wonderful first half performance until the final four minutes.

Still, up 8 points heading into the second half ... a good place to be, a job well done.

[Tenacious D]

Well, they got msot of it back. Up eight points on the half and Ray's on top.
