Celtics@Lakers Game 1 2010 NBA Finals Thread

Better get that meter checked milkshake...

Bynum played great tonight. Game changer on both ends... on one leg, no less.

Guessing his 2nd half bench time has a lot to do with his knee stiffening up when they take him out. Because he thoroughly outplayed Odom tonight.

I expect some will try to downplay the significance of PJ's 47-0 winning streak stat. I don't see how. "Somebody has to break this streak," yeah, I suppose so, but you'd be a fool to bet against PJ and Kobe at this point.

Plus, it's crystal clear that the Celtics aren't the same the same team from 2 years ago, while the Lakers have only gotten better.

Kobe gets his 5th, it's a lock.
Congratulations Lakers.

Thanks captain. Props to you. You have been consistent all playoffs. You had a lot more faith in the lakers than I did at one point....

Bynum did his job out there, so no complaints.

Kobe in his "streetcar named desire" look in his post game

Kobe refuses to smile until he has suffocated the life out of the Celtics.

But seriously Celtics fans, when did Garnett become useless?
I know he's been slowed with nagging injuries but is he really just.....done?

I have no idea, honestly. I mean, he was great in the Cavs series, owning Jamison.

I know, I know, Jamison is not half the player Gasol is, but still. That missed dunk under the basket... that was horrible.

Faith? Nope, the Lakers aren't my team, but that ain't stopping me from recognizing that they tower above the rest of the league.

You've got the best player in the league, plus the best big man, plus another 7 footer, plus a good supporting caste. I don't see anyone stopping the Lakers this year, and perhaps the next.
In fact, I can just see the Laker somehow finding a upgrade to Derek Fisher somehow next year...what the NBA wants, the NBA gets.

seems like KG's leg had life in that cavs series. something must have happened. maybe he took a shot or had a knee drained or something but it wore down. he sucked against the magic offensively. jumper fest.
