Wish Kevin Garnett was the fourth-best player on my team....

Also, Phil Jackson in the huddle talking about the Celtics blowing games in the fourth quarter was spot on. Yes, the waved-off shot clock violation was a bad call, but it was immediately followed by KG losing a jump-ball to Derek Fisher. Artest needs to finish that lay-up, or at least hit a free throw. Then Rasheed takes a bad three (surprise, surprise), and the Lakers don\'t capitalize.

\'Sheed is like that annoying kid in little league who goes 0-for-the season but still gloats like an MVP when his team wins it all.

Celtics in six was my original pick, but if somebody gave me 5:1 on the Lakers right now, I would probably take it.

that may have been the celtics of the regular season, but clearly the playoff celtics are a different beast alltogether.

Exactly. I feel like people who doubt the Celtics have not been watching the entire playoffs. Celtics in the Regular Season where plagued by injuries and egos. Celtics in the Playoffs have honestly been superb at times.

Tonight is the night. I have a great feeling. Same feeling I had the night the blackhawks won last week. Perhaps all the Sheppard teams will win this year..... alright maybe not...the Mets will never win....

But as a Lakers\' fan, I\'m looking at it from the perspective that all Los Angeles needs to do is win two games to win the NBA title. That\'s it: go 2-0.

Still slightly impossible. Especially since they are going up against one the best road teams. In the regular season, Celtics won an impressive 26-15 on the road.... in the playoffs.... 6-4.

nothing\'s impossible, just not likely. the celtics have been playing with a lot more energy and i don\'t expect that to change tonight. bynum\'s presence will decide this game. if he can maintain the low post and get a lot of rebounds, laker\'s can win game 6. if he\'s a nonfactor and we can change around our offense and defense accordingly, then they don\'t stand a chance.

So I watched the replay and that game was winnable. Lakers take tonight and we get a battle royal Game 7 with The Lakers coming out on top.
GO LAKERS!!!!!

NOW THAT WAS THE BOSTON CELTICS!!!!

Tonight, the boys in green proved why they are indeed the better team.... Lakers are Kobe. The Celtics are an actual team. Rondo was sprinting circles around everyone this evening the only way Rondo knows how. Pierce was the best I\'ve seen him in awhile. Allen\'s defense was superb. I could go on and on about everyone who participated. But all in all, they played with the hearts of champions. They played like they want this title more than anyone on the Lakers.

I predicted Celtics in 6 and I am sticking to it.

Lakers are Kobe? OK you see when The Lakers play as a team they clearly show they are better by dominating the other team and not just squeaking out wins as Boston has. It\'s the difference between actually being a great team and being great because the other team wasn\'t playing to their potential.

To me this should have never gotten to this point from what I have seen of this team all year and in the playoffs.

Either way since it is tied I have to say both teams are evenly matched but The Lakers have shown more dominance in their wins and will show it again in Game 7 Thursday as they complete the defense of their Championship.

Ha. 2 games away from being .500 on the road in the playoffs and that\'s good? Make it 1 game after tonight and Thursday they will be a .500 team on the road in the playoffs.
Plus I\'m not sure exactly the record but the celtics do not have a great record at all in clinching games as evidenced by tonight\'s game. The Lakers however.... well they do have Kobe.

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!

Yeah Ok I let it go b4 but uh DUH Ms. Obvious. Of course you forgot to mention that if The Lakers bench decides to come and play and the Homecourt does what it did for Boston it will be a tougher game than most think.
Don\'t cry to much tonight save your tears for Thursday night.

So basically, what happened tonight, right? Celtics played absolutely awful. The worst they have played all playoffs. Lakers didn\'t win because they played as a team, they won cause the Celtics could not get their **** together offensively. Perk getting hurt probably ruined their flow, their mental game. I really hope he is back for Game 7. I can\'t stand the decisions Wallace makes at times.

There is no excuse for the Celtics. I mean, they were missing EASY lay ups my nanny could make. I lost count, at least 6 or 7 or more. They were missing wide open jump shots. They were making poor choices. Rondo once again, as he has often this series, showed his immaturity with decision making. He has been praised for his improvement, but I feel like this series, at times, he has sent himself three steps back.

The way they played tonight, they didn\'t deserve to win. I hope they use this frustration to come back and win Game 7. GO CELTICS! I STILL BELIEVE!!!

Leith, enjoy this win. Cause next game isn\'t going to be as easy...
