    I thought they had a chance at half time but they played miserable in the 2nd half. Usually they come on strong late in the game but not tonight.

    The Lakers are going to have to win all three in LA to have any kind of chance to win it. What a time to start playing so poorly on both ends of the floor. :(

    When they got out to a good start I knew it would be short lived. I actually turned the game off when they were down by 8 points in the 2nd because I knew it was over at that point. I know they did mount a comeback attempt but it wasn't good enough and they didn't deserve to win this game at all.

    I think Boston is going to take it 4-2 now.

    Man I just really thought LA had more to them. You know when Andruw Bynum comes back and if they can get him going in the lineup LA will be something to really watch then,

    I take it that it was too close for a home game? I had to work last night and didn't catch any of the game.

    Even though the Lakers managed to pull out a win I think they played awful. Missing easy shot, layups, and too many fouls. They need to come on and show a convincing win in game 4 so that they have good momentum for game 5.

    The last nail is next to be hammered into the coffin. This series is over. If tonight's game wasn't a death knell for the Lakers, I don't know what is? :rant::censored: :banghead:

    Oh well, it was fun while it lasted...

    It's over and the Lakers don't deserve to win a championship after that pathetic collapse.

    It's a tough fight in the 3rd quarter of game 5. My Celtics are behind, but they've come back from worse. Go Celtics!

    Well, the Lakers managed a stay of execution for another couple of days, but I'm not going to hold my breath expecting a comeback in Boston. Nearly blowing a 19-point lead tonight and managing a win doesn't change my belief that the Lakers are playing any better.

    At Least the green guys didn't get to celebrate in LA tonight, championships are better won at home. We'll see I think there is a slight chance of the series going to 7 but you're right if they play like they did tonight it will be over Tuesday night. I still got hope...it's very little hope but it's there.

    I had a feeling the lakers would win tonight because Boston is not a great road team. But once again they played awful and let Boston come back from a 19 point lead (after letting them come back from a 24 point lead in game 4). They really aren't playing like champions and I don't think they will come close to winning in Boston. Of course I hope I am wrong. But I also think the Lakers showed some heart by not letting Boston win the title in LA.

    I'm sure ABC is happy about there being a game 6. I bet if it could be a 11-game series, the networks would go for it. Oh well, at least this series has been entertaining.

    Right. The more games that are played the more money there is to be made. I bet Boston stands to gain some nice revenue if it were to go 7 games.

    Well I guess my earlier predict of Boston in 6 games came true. I figured it would be a slaughter tonight.
