It's Game 1. The naysayers were out when Lebron exploded in Game 3 of the Celtics/Cavs series. They came out again when the Magic won a couple. Let's see what happens Sunday and hopefully the refs let them play. A tightly officiated series favors a finesse team.
Phil 47-0, Big 3 never lost a series, that all means squat right now.
I remember seeing a stat during a MNF game in 2005 that read someting like " A Parcell's coached team has never lost a game when leading by 13 points or more at the end of the 3rd qtr" .... how did that night end Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys - September 19th, 2005 | Pro-Football-Reference.com (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200509190dal.htm). I have not watched Basketball < or baseball > in years , but love the hockey < playoff/Stanley Cup > this year .

Actually I hate when annoucers say stuff like that especially with FT. X player has not missed a FT in 600 tries, clunk! thanks dick head!
lol so is the series over after 1 game? Lakers fans sure seem convinced it is.

I will tell you why it is not over because the WWE/NBA won't allow a sweep they need a big series here to keep interest level up on the WWE/NBA. Even when the Celtics won it in 2008 I was excited but my excitement was tapered by the fact that there seems to be a very unreal feeling about this league.

A tough loss and my hats off to an insane game by Allen. now it goes to Boston but I'm confident the lakers can get 2 out of the 3 there. I just hope the refs start letting the 2 teams actually play without calling a foul on either team on what feels like every other possesion. There have been over 110 fouls called against the 2 teams combined which means a bit more than one called for every minute of play so far. That's ridiculous and is keeping us from seeing the best players on the court as much as we should be.

You can't rely on that shooting from Allen or anyone every game. This was only the speedbump expected on the way to the game 6 win.

The Celtics looked very good last night and I think Rondo was more of a dagger then Allen to the Lakers.
The fouls are just plain ruining this series IMO.
Anywho, GO CELTICS!!!!

I be happy to bet you that the Lakers will not win 3 straight in Boston. This series will go seven games, not saying the Celtics are going to win it but to think last nights performance sealed the deal for the Lakers is foolish.
Let me also point again Kobe didn't show up in crunch time. You can thank Fischer for last nights win.
