Evil Ted Live Blog: Celtics-Lakers Game 4Basketbawful
Having been traveling with my family on a road trip all day, I'm cautiously looking forward to watching Game 4. I am wary, however, having read reports about Paul Pierce still feeling laid back and relaxed about the series, and saying inflammatory things like "We have the better team." Guess what, genius - Magic thought he had the better team in '84, and you know, he actually might have, but ...

Pregame Stuart Scott asks D. Wade what advice he has for Kobe Bryant. Wade says Kobe needs to distribute the ball and get his teammates involved (I’m half expecting him to say “Hope for a ton of phantom foul calls in your favor.” He doesn’t.) I have a foreboding feeling about Game 6. Perkins won’t be at full strength (but at least he’ll play – frankly, I’d question his toughness if he ...

NBA Finals Game 6 Live BlogFanHouse
Kobe and the Lakers are back in Boston, where the NBA season will come to its conclusion either tonight or on Thursday. The Lakers are obviously hoping for the latter, after winning Game 5 and making the trip to the East coast, I'm sure they'd like to stay for a few days.

I still believe! The Lakers let another big lead slip away, but this time they had the last run and live to see at least another 48 minutes of NBA Finals Basketball. It was a night where the Lakers didn’t have their ‘A’ game and allowed Pierce to seemingly get to the basket at will. Seems to me that the Celtics live and die by Pierce.
