hard fouls early to Pau so he turtles the rest of the series
Kobe needs to contained not stopped
and Rondo needs to run the show

c'mon cs! finish the half strong! refs making bogus calls again.

Lakers went ice cold from the floor in the 2nd half. I thought they'd make it a tougher game after a nice 2nd quarter when the Celts got sloppy with the basketball and couldn't defend the pick & roll.

Is there a PJ Brown fan club? If there is, I'm joining. The guy's played some very valuable minutes for this team. Pierce was sublime tonight: I don't see how the Lakers are going to stop him this series. Perkins and Garnett should eat LA's lunch off the glass as well, so if Kobe & Co. aren't shooting well, they have no chance as I see it.

Last night's win was a solid team effort...from KG, Pierce, Allen to Rondo and the bench. I do have some concerns about the extent of Pierce's injury.

I love Allen's defense against Kobe...I just hope I am not speaking too soon.
