Celtics In 6
celticsblog.com 6/16/2008 — There was reason to hope after game 4 that the Lakers would be broken mentally and not be able to come back and win any more games.

There were some bounces and calls that didn't go our way. But the Lakers flat out won the game.

It's Not Just How You Finish...
celticsblog.com 6/16/2008 — Sometimes, it's how you start. It's unfortunate that in some regards, what Game 5 of the 2008 NBA Finals will be remembered for is Kobe Bryant's steal and dunk to seal a tight ball game in the fourth quarter. It might be remembered for -- to put it mildly -- the rough go of it had by Kevin Garnett in the fourth quarter.

They got out front early on and never really looked back, but have found some struggles in the last quarter of the race. Still, they remain in the lead and we can all see the finish line just over the horizon. All they have to do is finish the race strong.

Postcards From LA, Vol. 18: One Lakers Fan Tracks His Team Through the NBA Playoffs
emptythebench.com 6/16/2008 — Instead of focusing on poor play and bemoaning the fact that if the Lakers didn’t choke away a 24-point lead they would hold the 3-2 series advantage, the optimum way to view this situation is that the next two games are actually pure gravy, a gift from the basketball gods that allows the Lakers, who happen to employ the game’s best gunslinger, two do-or-die shots at basketball immortality.
