celticsblog.com 6/17/2008 — It would have been just fine with me to win the title in Los Angeles. Losing game 5 was a bad thing, no matter how you spin it. However, out of that disappointment, comes a gift. The Celtics will (most likely) celebrate their 17th Championship on their home court, in front of Boston fans and under the previous 16 banners.

So my question to you is this: if Game 6 goes similarly to Game 5 but Paul Pierce doesn't get stripped and the Celtics end up winning, how does that affect Kobe's legacy? How does it affect his status as the league's best player? I think these kinds of questions are fair given the responsibility that Kobe has...

The Lakers will need to see more of the Game 5 versions of Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol if they want to complete an improbable comeback and become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals.
