NBA Finals Celtics vs Lakers Game 5 Live Thread
From 24 Points Up To The Brink Of Elimination


Ray Allen was the Lakers' daddy at the end of a stunning and entertaining Game 4 where Boston came back from as much as 24 points to all but end any hope of a championship returning to Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant, who was a no-show when is counted on Thursday night, would like everyone to know there will be a few more Finals games for us to watch.
“The series ain’t over, it’s far from over.”
Let's hope so, I'm not ready to halt my basketball viewing for the summer just yet. If Kobe is to back his claim, he'd better deliver his best Finals performance to date. While his teammates seemed to be at their best in the early goings of Game 4 when Bryant was merely a facilitator, he wasn't there when the pressure mounted.

That's not like The Mamba, who's by no means Michael Jordan, but certainly as clutch as they come in today's game.

68% are going with Los Angeles
. Hard to believe this would end in five games and I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the NBA could use at least more night of revenues.

Why didnt the Lakers come out sharp and play with passion like this the last game?

The amount of contact in this 2nd quarter is ridiculous.  The refs can't be calling the game differently from quarter to quarter.  Get your act together David Stern or resign.  You and your refs are killing the game of basketball.

Kobe is going to go off this half.  Lakers might not win, but we'll get a show I guess.

Don't forget about the Olympics this summer. We will have more basketball on tv next month.

Finally the refs start calling the game the way it should've been from the start.  There's no such thing as good basketball with bodies draped upon each other.  Granted its kind of unfair to start calling it now, but we're owed a game anyway.
