Official NBA Finals Game 5 Criscast: LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics, 6/13/10 @ TD Garden

[gts]

despite the poor shooting only down by 6 at the half.... lakers need to fix a ton of stuff in the second half

[crisoner]

Lakers need.to step it up it up on offense......we need to have a big 3rd and close out the game.

[oh the horror]

Celtics defense is just too too much. Not feeling too good about this game....particular players on LA are starting to look discouraged, and we all know how they play when they get like that.

[oh the horror]

And can someone explain to me, why Rondo was allowed to just walk up to Ron, and put a hand on him like that, with no T called?

it's not just about Celtics defense, There is something about Kobe that is not right. His knees? He's not elevating the way he used to. His quick first step/burst is not there. No explosion going to the basket. As a result his shots are flat or he is just passing the ball. No penetration. He's not shooting over Allen right, one instance, he tries to take off, Allen elevated and almost block his shot, Kobe passes off his shot, leading to the turnover. etc.

[oh the horror]

Oh he was?? Ah, my hungover brain isnt working well today.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

this is fvucking depressing.
just like I suspected.... their defense is simply better than ours.

and their bench..

[tamaraw08]

Game 2, Ray Allen, Bynum
Game 3, Fisher and Garnett
Game 4, Davis and Robinson
Game 5???It seems like Rondo and Pierce...I thought it'll be Kobe esp with 2 days rest.

[bladefd]

Kobe has shown up in this 2nd half but the Lakers defense has not. What the hell is this? Ron Ron getting murdered by Pierce this time, Gasol getting manned and out-smarted on defense by KG. Atrocious 2nd half overall..

[crisoner]

Lots of.time. let's make s run!

[bladefd]

Lakers are f*cked this game. Seriously. This is HORRENDOUS. One man can NOT win you a game and never has. Everyone outside of Kobe is GONE. GONE.

Losing my patience with these Lakers. Pau has reverted back into his 08 form it seems, Artest can't hit a shot if his life depended on it, Bynum needs to be more aggressive. Disappointing..

[oh the horror]

LA being punked right out of the building.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

gasol is freaking softer than charming paper...WTF.....

[OldTerp]

LA being punked right out of the building.

Yep, but still time. Need to cut it to 5 or 6 by the end of the 3rd.
