From Gadgets to Sports: Shame On The Lakers

It was an astonishing defeat suffered by the Lakers on hands of the Celtics. The game had emotion from start to finish. That is what I call a game. Not a lot of referees fixation, I mean intervention. Overall it was a clear game. Lakers just got too comfortable with their lead; as a result, they got punished. Pierce started cold, but as the game went by, he got so hot that air conditioners at the Staple Center had to be elevated. Allen set a great play in the last minutes of the game with his left hand to zip the game.

When the interview time came, Kobe seemed upset when answering question to some ESPN and other news reporter. I may understand his frustration. Barry, former NBA player and now ESPN analyst, was giving up his hope of the Celtics winning the game or even the series. But there you got, one of the best game you may have ever seen. If you did not see it, buy it at NBA.com or youtube it.

Somehow earlier today I predicted the Boston team to win by 7. And even after trailing by 24 I felt they were going to win. Lakers are just not as consistent as they seem. The Celtics need to keep Rondo out in the second half of every game left. Eddie House and Tony Allen can do a better job. House showed it today.
