Just about the only thing that has worked for LA in this series is getting Gasol touches in the post, and when was the last time Gasol got a touch in the post? The Lakers have consistently failed to close out defensive posessions due to poor rotations and the non-contesting of Boston's perimeter shooters. I'm amazed a team with legitimate title aspirations could leave Paul Pierce wide open as may times as the Lakers have in these first two games. In the first half, simply making sure a foul stopped a basket would have saved LA half a dozen points. Maybe they figure it out for game 3, but I'm starting to doubt it...
We've been in the penalty all game. Fouling more isn't going to help.

well, this has been fantastic. Got real excited to watch this series hoping the refs would just let these guys play. They're singlehandedly ruining the fun of this series. This isn't the NBA Finals it's playoff basketball for P***Ys. The first half was just maddening to watch. Stick your noses out of the game and let the guys play. I don't tune in to watch the celtics shoot freethrows all night.
