What a game last night! If you are a Laker fan you are not a happy camper today to say the least! The Lakers played a great first half in last nights game leading by as much as 24 points. However they laid an egg in the second half, up by 20 points halfway through the 3rd quarter! They blew it big time. But you have to give some credit to the Boston Celtics, they did not give up.
Ray Allen was amazing last night, that reverse lay up with about 2 minutes left was incredible, he switched hands and double pumped while gliding through the air to reverse the lay up! He even made Sasha Vujacic look silly when he drove past him for an easy game clinching layup. I am not sure why they had Sasha guard him it was a big mismatch. Garnett played well and Paul Pierce and James Posey were very good in the second half. Pierce kept in Kobe Bryants face the entire second half making it tough on him to get off a clean shot. This series is not over but the odds are against the Lakers. I expect them to come out and play hard Sunday but all the momentum is on the Celtics side. I think the Celtics could even win it in 5 but if not they will win at home in game 6. I think Pierce, Allen and Garnett are hungrier for a Championship than most of the Lakers and they played like it in the second half last night.
