I’m sure you saw last night’s NBA Finals game 4, so I’m not gonna waste any time recapping it for ya.
That game was absolutely appalling. I sat from my comfy green armchair and saw the biggest halftime lead in NBA Finals history get taken apart by the Celtics.
It was 35-14 after the 1st quarter. The Lakers had a 21-point lead going into the second quarter, largest in NBA Finals history after the first quarter. They had an 18-point halftime lead, also largest in finals history at the half.
Eventually the Boston Celtics came back somehow and won the game.
So, speculate, bloggers.
Did the Lakers perform the worst choke of all-time? Or are the Celtics the most resilient team of all-time?
Yes! The Lakers choked big time and kobe is'nt a comparison to Jordan and NEVER!!! Will be!! The Celtics are not the greatist team but they did have an awesome year and will be the new NBA CHAMPS after the next game in BOSTON! What a GREAT come back one of the best of all time:}

The Lakers were on their way to the Piggly Wiggly when they got hit by a Mack truck in the guise of the Celtics. As to the aftermath it's now there for all to see.
Check out my latest NBA post on last night's game where I bring up some prescient points with regard to the game itself. The piece is titled Moments Little Moments That So Clearly Define What A Team And Player Can Be About ! Let me know what you think as to the merits of the piece ? I'll look forward to reading your comments.
rev- Good to see you again! That's a good point, our defense die off in the 3rd.
purpleandgold- They sure do, and this won't be the last time these two teams meet in the Finals. Hell, we could have this same match-up again next year!
JW- Thanks. LOL! Yeah, damnit. Oh well, uh, GO BUCCOS!
It's both, to repeat an oft-heard response. The Celtics came back strong, but the Lakers accomodated them, and everyone on that team had a hand in the collapse. It's nice that Kobe had desires to down 20 shots, because those were the only ones he'd hit after seeing that game lol! Bottom line: it's going to be over soon, if not Sunday, then when the series shifts to Boston.
It's like I've alluded to before they were on their way to the Piggly Wiggly . What's so difficult to understand about that ?

These games are to meant to be about heart and the Lakers have showed that they've got none. Pis*s poor playing by them on both ends of the court. And their bench was so damn anemic !
See my latest post and let me know what you think as to the merits of the piece ? It's titled Moments Little Moments
justanotherfan,
Great analogy with the Mack Truck.
We've seen momumental comebacks like this all the time in the NBA ... just not in the finals. Hell, the Lakers came back from like 21 to defeat the Spurs not very long ago.
This series has always been about which do your prefer; offense or defense. Defense is winning. Defense will win.
