Lakers Down 1-2

The Celtics were terrific in Game 1. Their defense were too tough for the Lakers to match-up, especially in the 4th quarter. And I think the Lakers played their Starters too much that they ran out of gas in the 4th. Give credit to Doc's rotation on their players.

Game 2 was a disappointment. I didnt mean the Lakers played badly. It was quite obvious the officiating were very, very bad. A little contact they called it a foul. C'mon, this is playoff basketball. What is on their mind? To tell the audience the kids that basketball is clean sport without contacts? I think the officials had their bets in their hands. Yeah, there were cases like this. No doubt about that. I think Stern should investigate their bank accounts.

Game 3 is good. The Lakers played with a sense of urgency. They came to play. At one time I thought only Kobe came and played. And slowly the bench picked up the slack. Sasha is overwhelming sharp, confident. The commentors said that this was one of his playoff best. I dont think so. The Lakers didnt get to the Finals depending on Kobe alone. The Bench plays a part and that's for sure. I like the way Phil insert frsh bench players. For instance, Trevior Ariza. He didnt get a lot of minutes in the playoffs. I think for matchup purposes, it's a good bet to put his body on the Celtics. The Celtics this time round lost their momentum in the play. Unlike Game 2 where they got away with a lot of cheap fouls and flopping, Game 3 calls did not go their way. The officials were brighter and fairer this time. Lamar, please pick up your game!

Thank goodness that the Sports Channel did not get Colins to be the commentors for the game. I watched the Spurs series and I really felt his remarks on the play and game analyst sucks big time. * . . see if I'm the coach I will want to beat up this team while Kobe is resting on the bench . . .* Well, he didnt really say this but something like this. I think a fool can tell yeah, of course. Beat Lakers while Kobe is on the bench. If this is easily done, then the Lakers will not be appearing in the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers plays team basketball now. Every player contributes. Foolish comments I would say.

Game 4 is Thursday night at the Staples Centre. How I wish to buy a ticket to watch the game in LA .....

I think Slumperman wants to be a Hollywood celebrity!
