  Thoughts?

  Celtics should take this one....I will say by 11.

  I like the Celtics too. It really looks like this series is going 7 games.

  Bigger game for the Celts as they need to win two in a row sometime in order to win the series, and it would be a lot easier to do it in Boston than LA. LA can alternate wins the whole series and still pull it out with game 7 at home, but if they win game 5 they'll only need one of two in LA.

  Bynum had his knee drained again & said he is going to play, but how much and how effective he'll be is the question? Obviously he won't be himself but he has still given the C's fits when he was able to contribute. But his knee just seems to be getting worse and worse as the series goes on. We won game 2 w/ basically only Ray & Rondo going off... Won game 4 w/ our Bench stepping up HUGE! ... Pierce started game 4 strong and ended strong but was missing in quarters 2 & 3.... Game 5 will be very physical & I just hope they are allowed to play but one or both teams will have a starter w/ 2 fouls in the first 4 minutes, it's just been a trend for some reason. I hope we come out with a lot of energy and focus and determination to win this game. If we can get 3 of the "Big 4" off early hopefully it will lead to a 3-2 series lead. Go Boston

  Both Sheed and Perk are on the verge of missing a game with another T. I have a feeling one of them will get hit with one in game 5.

  Bynum might be another Grant Hill. Sacrificing his health for his team, but could hurt him in the long run.

  Officials for Game 5: Derrick Stafford, Mike Callahan & Joey Crawford
  
  PLEASE Joey don't make the game about yourself....

  At least 1 player from each team will get T'd up tonight..

  Good luck! You know damn well that Joey truly believes that people pay money to see him act like a retard.

  Lakers handle their business.

  Pretty lame. Fisher flails every time he shoots and just got a bs foul.

  C's bench coming up big again....
• Trueblue23

  

  Can't let Rondo break down the D like that
• osu45804

  

  Artest w/ the ACTING JOB
• sleeper

  

  Refs are so biased towards the Lakers its ridiculous.
  
  2009-2010 NBA Champions the LA Lakers *

  Then right after the Artest acting job, Kobe comes down and just blatantly shoves Rondo off at the top of the key and NOTHING
• sleeper

  

  Kobe with a great start 4-11 LOL
• sleeper

  

  Another blown call, what a fucking joke.
• Trueblue23

  

  Lakers can't make anything tonight

  If the C's can quit turning the ball over and get to the line and keep making the lakers a jump shooting team w/ contested shots we can pull this out... Pierce & Rondo came to play, If we can get KG or Ray going in the 2nd half that will be HUGE
• wildcats20

  

  Shut the fuck up about the refs.
  
  It's been bad all series and neither team has been favored. You wanna talk about "blown" calls; Artest has clean inside position for an offensive rebound and gets called for a foul. The officiating is a joke both ways. It's not helping either team.
