Phil Jackson was complaining about how many free throws the Celtics were taking. The refs told him to tell his team to stop fouling so much. (Just kidding)
I am pulling for the Celtics because I like Paul Pierce and KG a lot more than I like Kobe Bryant, but I hope the Lakers win a couple at home. I don't want to see a sweep.

Game three. Lakers win 87-81.
Kobe Bryant, with 38, was close to his MVP form, but only 11-18 from the line. Garnett had only 13 and Pierce only 6.
Game four, Thursday, should be a doozy.

Sure got tense toward the end.
When I was a Knicks fan sometimes I couldn't take the suspense toward the end of a playoff game and would go for a long walk.

Celtics rally from 24 points down to take game four, 97-91. Celtics big three (Garnett, Pierce and Allen) combine for 55. Lakers big one (Kobe) held to 17.
Lakers now trail 3-1. No team in NBA Finals has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Yeah, great game. How did you like Kobe's steal and monster dunk toward the end? Paul Pierce for the Celitcs, 38 points, what a scoring machine.

Yeah, it can get tense. Tonight I watched at a bar with a buddy. A Lakers fan and Celtics fan almost got in a fight. Lakers fan orders a drink. Celtics fan tells bartender 'he's drunk, don't serve him.' Lakers fan says 'none of your business, my girlfriend is driving me home.' Bartender throws glass in trash, the two continue yelling. Both were escorted out.

I think for the Lakers to win Tuesday, Odom and Gasol have to play as tough as they did last night. And the bench has to score. And they have to outrebound and outhustle the Celtics. And Kobe has to have a monster Black Mamba, mvp game. And the Celtics have to shoot poorly.
That's a lot of 'ands.'

Celtics wins 17th NBA title with 131-92 rout of Lakers
On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one — at last — for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen — their Big Three for a new generation.
After 22 long years, the NBA has gone green.
Carried by ear-splitting chants of "Beat L.A." early and cries of "Seven-teen" in the closing seconds by their adoring crowd, which included Boston legends Bill Russell and John Havlicek, the Celtics concluded a shocking rebound of a season with a stunning 131-92 blowout over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 on Tuesday night.
With the outcome assured, Boston fans sang into the night as if they were in a pub on nearby Canal Street. They serenaded the newest champs in this city of champs, and taunted Kobe Bryant and his Lakers, who drowned in a green-and-white wave for 48 minutes.
Garnett scored 26 points with 14 rebounds, Allen scored 26 and Pierce, the finals MVP, added 17 as the Celtics, a 24-win team a year ago, wrapped up their first title since 1986.
This was total domination. The Celtics obliterated the Lakers, who were trying to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.
No way. No how. No chance.
Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher; the Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5 of the 1965 NBA finals.
Pierce doused Celtics coach Doc Rivers with red Gatorade. Owner Wyc Grousbeck, who named his group Banner 17 to leave no doubt about his goal, put an unlit cigar in his mouth — a tribute to Red Auerbach, the patriarch who had a hand in the franchise's first 16 titles.
Garnett dropped to the parquet and kissed the leprechaun at center court and then found Russell, the Hall of Famer who taught him the Celtic way, for a long embrace.
"I got my own. I got my own," Garnett said. "I hope we made you proud."
"You sure did," Russell said.
Rivers pulled Pierce, Garnett and Allen with 4:01 left and they shared a group hug with their coach, who was nearly run out of town last season. In the final minute, Rivers, who lost his father at the beginning of this remarkable season, was soaked by Pierce, the Celtics' captain who decided to stay when things were bad and was rewarded for his loyalty
