Go Celtics. As in, go to Detroit tied 1-1.

Come On. Really? Come back from 20 one night and the next win by 30?
Kobe has that look in his eye in post game interviews. He is having fun and that means the other teams are not.
He said in an interview I saw last night it never felt like they were down by 20. If he is this confident and his teammates continue to play as they are how can one doubt?

If the Lakers win the next game they win in 5.

From an exhilarating comeback in Game 1 to an absolute brutal beating in Game 2. Great performances by Kobe and Odom and it\'s nice to see Farmar get it going again. Go Lakers!

managed to avoid finding out the result of the game for 12 hours, though it dawned on me sometime around dawn that pitchie would have been in a slightly different mood in the event of a loss. but anyways, just got done watching start to finish, and WOW. absolutely loved walton hitting the 3 in the closing seconds to make it 30 and put the icing on the cake. great game for odom. this is good.

Tough loss tonight but realistically expected if you look at the Spurs last series. I think the Lakers will come back with a better game in game 4.

Oh and boston got tired of folks laughing at them I guess huh?

yeah, definitely a tough one. they lost it somewhere in the 2nd quarter and never got it back after that. miserable game for odom, and gasol wasn\'t all that great either. fish needs to shoot more, and they cannot let ginobili have another game like he had tonight.

yeah, being 1-1 before last night in the ECF is laughable....ok. they may have been having trouble on the road, but who hasnt this postseason ?

Whew! So back to L.A. to wrap things up.
Go Lakers!

definitely got away with one tonight! i wasn\'t happy about kobe driving to the hoop with about :30 to play and a full :24, but heading back to LA 3-1? i\'ll take it. :thumbsup:

One second the Lakers are well on their way to a nice, fairly comfortable, victory against the Spurs. The next second the Spurs have the ball with a chance to win. And so goes playoff basketball.

Bottom line: Lakers win at the defending champs. 3 games to 1.

Yeah Kobe was not happy with it either and even took responsibility for it in the postgame.
That non call was due to 2 facts. Brent Barry put the ball down after the contact and well it was Brent Barry.

:stirs up the Kobe lobby (Peck, Pitch, Leith) with this rumor:

The one about Kobe getting it on with a Laker girl.

The only reason I even heard about it or am posting is because my girlfriend actually knows this Vanessa Curry - she used to book her for talent gigs when she was based out of SF.

Celtics looked great last night and now have two chances to close. Lakers have 3 chances to close. We are just two wins away from the most epic finals in the post-Jordan NBA.

As for tonight...Go Lakers! hehehe

Vassillios · « **Reply #194 on:** May 29, 2008, 12:16:27 pm »

Spurs-Pistons would be the least epic finals in post jordan history. let\'s not pray for that.
