Deceiving first half for the Celtics

Sure we are up by 6 ... but should be a lot more. Ray Allen lights out = good. No one else involved in offense other then Rondo = bad.

Rebounding stats are close, but we lost a LOT of defensive rebounds in the 2nd quarter that they should have had.

Not very confident going into the 3rd quarter ...

25 FT for the Lakers in first half. Really? They are being just as physical as Boston. Usual home team disparity that drives us ALL nuts ...

Rondo is simply amazing.  This is Rondo's coming out party to the "elite" tier of NBA point guards.  

Even with Pierce and Garnet being neutralized, the Celtics were able to do what had to be done.  

I don't know for sure but I think I saw which team has the real mental toughness to win a Championship.

With the exception of Gasol (again) and Bynum, none of the Lakers had a good game.  Don't count on that happening again.  

While I give the Celtics credit for showing heart and playing tough, I stand by my prediction of the Lakers (although I forgot it is 2-3-2 now, so I will say six games).

Although no one would be happier than me to be proven wrong...

Yes, the officiating was horrible, but the Lakers blew it..(Artest, Odom, Fisher did nothing, Rondo's untouched layup, Kobe losing his cool, poor 3-pt. shooting, etc.)

Lakers lead by 3 w/about 5 minutes left, they should have been able to hold on to that lead at the Staples Center, where they were 9-0 before last night's collapse...

Lakers. blew. it.

... for the wrong team. Free throws 42 to 26 for LA. Celtic's had a lot of bad calls early. It all evens out. (usually)

As for most of the Lakers doing nothing ... most of the Celtics did nothing either.

Series on.

It's either teams series to win. The 2-3-2 format makes it interesting. You really don't expect the Lakers to loose 4 in a row. The series will go back to LA, but will it be 6 or 7 games?
