Ok, I admit it. I’m an idiot. I turned off game 4 at the middle of the 3rd quarter with the Lakers up by 20. I’m an east coast guy. It was already 11 and I had to work the next day. Why should I waste good sleeping time screaming at Doc Rivers and watching the Lakers blow out the Celtics?

ballerblogger.com 6/13/2008 — But the passing, cutting, and ball movement that highlighted the first half disappeared in the 3rd quarter.
And so did any semblance of the Triangle.
