In silent protest of the media's NBA game preview saturation and game fixing discussions, I boycotted the first half of Game 4. Hey, a guy's gotta watch a golf major and have dinner! I'm sick of the Stern talking head appearing, stating how much of a slime bag a certain, former official is. (Stern's job is to protect the league, period, not tell us any potential truths or lies that we may not know.) What could I miss in the first half, since the officials were sure to give the Lakers a huge lead.(That was a joke.)
"Click!" The U.S. Open is over for the night, time for some third quarter basketball.
"Whoa, L.A. has a huge lead!" Shocking.
A 20 point lead went boom in the third quarter and the Celtics likely locked up the title. (Note, I said 'likely.') The final eight minutes were entertaining as Kobe and the Three Bears pulled a big, fat, ahoga.
Whoops! Lakers fans have to be distraught after this choke job. It's time the Lakers have blown a lead, since they've often been the recipient of gobbling up a deficit this year.
Stay tuned for the "Conspiracy Posts" to populate blog-dom. The ghost of Red lives on.
I don't know if there's any conspiracy here. But doesn't it seem like the Celtics have always needed a fire under their a$$es to play well in this whole post season?
Was it really a choke? I may have said that initially, but the more I think about it, Boston won that game. Their defense was superb, and their bench, led by Posey and House (and don't forget P.J. Brown) vastly outplayed the Laker bench. Sure, Kobe came up small, and Vujacic even smaller, but how could L.A. get good games from Odom and Gasol in the same night and still lose? Maybe it's 50% choke, 50% good Celtics D.
Evil, conspiracy is being discussed far too often. It's part of the reason I stayed on the U.S. Open.
Downs, coughing up a huge lead and now being labeled as losing the largest lead in Finals history qualifies as a choke in my book. Probably with the media, too. Watch the sports hilight lead ins Friday morning.
Interesting was the timing of Celtics 3-pointers late in the game.
It was just like L.A. dumping in 3 pointers in Game 3. T-it for tat, yin and yang, etc.
(these bleeps are out of control)

goutdaddy, I had a NY Strip, hash browns and corn.
When I sat down to the third quarter, I said to myself, "Self, the Celtics are going home down 3-2!"
Kobe had a big helping of Humble Pie tonight.
CVS pharmacies in L.A. took razor blades off the shelves again.
Kobe's post game interview was fantastic.
Twice in losses, he's stated that 'positives' will come from late actions in losses.
What the F! I'm positive you lost, fool.
The bed wetting comment was fantastic!
He's been a great interview in 2008.

Husker If your ever in Rhode Island. Check out a place called Fred and Steves owned by former NFL'ers Fred Smerlas and Steve DeOssie. I got the porterhouse and it was the best piece of dead bovine flesh I've ever had
54, never been to RI. When bidness does send me around, steak houses are mandatory! I bite cows for fun.
I grew up going to the stock yards with daddy and picking out a side of beef, on the hoof.
Fred Smerlas. Didn't he have the ugliest nose in the NFL? That or he's greek.
Didn't Fredo and Stevie meet up at N.E.?
This was the first time the Lakers ran into a force like the Celtics in the playoffs, we went through the playoffs with relative ease and their trio outplayed our trio. I knew the Spurs wouldn't be hard because if the offensive lulls they had all post season. The playoffs have made this Celtic team a resilient one, in most of their previous road losses they fought hard and in losing learned to fight harder. Calmly went through the storm this year, but next year watch out!!!!!
If the Celtics win this year, looks like they will, hopefully they will make keep their group intact for another 2 years or so. Lakers gonna stomp that #### in 09.
