Glad this game is over. KG can go ice his vagina now.

He played so-so down the stretch to his defense. Thats saying alot when KG is the player we are talking about.

[TampaDude]

MAMBA with 36 and 7...Lakers will be going back to Beantown up 3-2...BOOK IT!!!

most overused word in sports. choking should be reserved for real instances like 2004 Yankees in the ALCS. thats a choke. having one bad game is not a choke.

people who throw the word "choke" around are bags.

Dallas Mavs fan. Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha. Talk about your vagina monologues.

I know how bad Manu was, and I was calling for Barry all the way through the playoffs, but Pop couldn't play Barry 30+ mins for fear of hurting him too.

And if he didn't play Manu he would've been criticised by everyone for it.

Rock, meet hard place.

Maybe, knowing how banged up Manu was, Pop should've rested him for games 1/2 and played Barry/Ime more, then brought out a rested Manu and played him half a game to keep him fresh, with Barry playing the other half.

Anyway, it's all just conjecture at this point. I feel sorry for Manu because he was clearly doing all he could, but his body couldn't respond.

No offense. I love the Spurs. But... can't you give it a break? Aren't there crying threads somewhere to post this in?

Celtics lose. They're still up 2-1, and this game proves the series belongs to anyone, anywhere. Well, probably not in Boston. Well, maybe in Boston. Yeah, that's the ticket. Stern wants the whole thing to go back to Boston so Lakers can take them there, just like last time.

Have a great evening everyone. xoxo

doubt it. i think the celtics will win at least one in LA.

[Canuck]

Well, this game is better then any Spurs final game.

[florige]

doubt it. i think the celtics will win at least one in LA.

Oh yeah. Pierce won't have another game like this.

[ballhog]

Well, this game is better then any Spurs final game.

You must like watching guys at the the free throw line.

[trueD]

I'm going each way!

Nah, what I meant is this feels like game 1 Spurs v Fakers - after you lose a game you should've won it hurts.

Okay, I say the Celts will steal one in LA, probably game 5. Celts in 6.

I think they'll take one game here too, and beat L.A. in Boston in 7.

When D'Antoni found out Grant Hill was injured, he put Hill on the bench. That's what you do with injured players. That way two things are achieved. One, the player can heal. Two, you can have someone in the game who can contribute. It's really not rocket science.

Sure. I guess Pop figured that Manu would be smart enough to find a way to contribute through the injuries, and he was wrong... but he wasn't entirely wrong, because Manu did blow up in game 3.

Look, I agree that Barry should've been playing more, , I was one of the most vocal people calling for it (see the game threads all throughout the playoffs), but I just don't think it's as cut and dried as you're making out. Pop is NOT an idiot, he knows more about it than we do, and he made the call. Unfortunately, for once he made the wrong call.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Well, this game is better then any Spurs final game.

wow, 05' game 5 to name one

[Bob Lanier]

people who throw the word "choke" around are bags.

People who throw the word " bag" around are sore losers.

And other things, but mostly sore losers.

[ballhog]

Yeah, no way Lakers win all 3 at home. Celts win the next one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think they'll take one game here too, and beat L.A. in Boston in 7.

So you think LA will win game 6. Interesting...

[TampaDude]

doubt it. i think the celtics will win at least one in LA.

Nope...no chance of that at all...tonight was the worst you'll see the Lakers play in LA...the next two games will be double-digit victories for the Lakeshow...

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nevermind i just saw your name

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so many missed free throws, refs helped to up the game as well

how many whistles was that??? on every single posession of this low scoring affair

[ballhog]

Lakers wanted whistles and whistles is what they got. Hate those refs calling fouls all the ing time.

[JamStone]

That was the worst played NBA Finals game I've ever seen. Both teams were in full choke mode and it was a matter of who choked the least.

Kobe Bryant played tonight.
