NBA Finals Game 4 Live Thread: Celtics vs Lakers
Time For ALL The Big Names To Show Up


The line of thinking after Game 3 was that the Celtics certainly couldn't play any worse and should be set the rest of the series if Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce play to par. One fault there: what about Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol's continual shrinking acts? They've each got issues, but can play better.

We know Kobe will get his, but should just one of those two complimentary Lakers show up I don't think it'll matter that KG and Pierce will inevitably play better tonight.

Another concern for Boston is the health of Rajon Rondo. Less playing time for him means Sam Cassell and Eddie House will be chucking up shots they shouldn't, which is never good.

Then there's the whole Doc Rivers coaching mess. Leon Powe plays beautifully in Game 2. Game 3, Rivers plays him six whole minutes and he had as much of an effect and I did. That has to change, Powe is the Jason Maxiell for Boston. His energy is needed, especially on the road.

All I'm really hoping is that with the day of rest in LA, this game matches the attractiveness of those in the stands, instead of Game 3 which looked a little more like the Bostonians we're accustomed to seeing.

66% are picking the Lakers. I like LA as well.

Kobe DIDN'T get his and the Celtics didn't even need Rondo.  The Lakers are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and defense does in fact win Championships.  This series is effectively over.
No way the Lakers win 2 in a row in Boston, unless Kobe decides to become God and score 60 a game.

I had the game taped but accidently turned on ESPN.  I'm not even going to bother watching the game.  Congrats to KG and the Celtics.

Alright, I'm picking Boston for game 5.  Call me crazy, but I think they might just pull out an improbable win here.

Maybe a little too much celebrating, but they were down 24 on the road and came back to win. I think they deserved to celebrate. Now it is finally nice to see that the  Nuggets are not the only team in the NBA who are horrible at defending

Yeah, I realize it'd be hard to contain emotion, I guess I'm just piggybacking the fact I always thought Pierce was a chump.
A ridiculous thought, in and of itself... Pierce, a chump? Absurd...
