That was our best chance to steal a game in L.A.

That was a HUGE missed opportunity tonight. Its a new series now.

KG wanted that double on Kobe it was his call not DOcs.

You got to get 1-of-3, this one should have been it. Confident more so now. Pierce 6 points, 2-for-14? Can't win doing that.

Well that was really pathetic.

Doc coached a bad game but the fault lies with the players. He didn't tell Paul to make back-to-back horrendous passes, Eddie to miss that shot, or KG to play like he was Ray Charles.

lakers got the calls in this one, now if doc doesnt do what phil did and make it clear that its unacceptible, he should be fired on the spot, I mean how could he not?

that said, Pierce in foul trouble, not getting any calls, and they were in posistion to blow it with 6 mins left, and KG been missing for the better half of two games now and they were competitve. LA really has no shot, I bet this is over in 5. I hope its done in 6, Boston teams need to stop winning championships on the road.

Lol...What an abysmal display.... just no execution at all... And letting Vujabitch abuse us is pathetic... wondering what excuses Doc is going to give.

Our offense was just too pathetic today...

KG 6-21, Pierce 2-14 that is unbelievably bad!

And our offensive plays were just terrible in the 4th quarter...

I guess it's just my tendency after a bad loss to nitpick on something, but I can't get it out of my head that Ray was absolutely FEELING IT and Doc pulled him.

We play like crap. -12 on free throws. and we lose by six.

I think I am confident we close this out. We win at least one in LA.

Got to get the ball out of Kobe's hands.

Rondo's lack of effectiveness led to Celtics breaking down on offense. More upset at the offense. Pierce had a bad game, but KG never got the ball where he was dangerous. Very bad pG play tonight. If only Casell wouldn't shoot every gosh darn time, we could sue his brain out there.

Very disappointing. If Pierce is hurt, the you cannot keep iso-ing him as your first option.

uuuuuugh. Good way to step up Paul and KG :noway:

Those first 2 off the ball foul calls against us to start the 4th was the end of us....got us in the penalty sooner than we should have been.

a NO GUTS game from KG and Pierce...just happy to be in the finals I guess.

i thought the same hitting. They should have went to him possession after possession we didn't ride the hot hand we went to a clod PP.

The bottom line is that we played this game like we couldn't win it. Their body language beginning with PP showed no desire to rip this game away from the Lakers. Very disappointed in this game.

Y'all need to calm down...we were within two with two to play, and if Eddie knocks down that 10 footer it is a different game.

Winning on the road is not easy...it's just about hanging in there, and we did that. I feel great about this series. We will get one in LA.

We lost this game because our offense was a mess down the stretch. This is stuff we saw during the season when Rondo was hurt. This is why Rondo's important. This is also why we signed Cassell. I hate when Doc plays Cassell when its really not needed, IMO House earned a spot as first off the bench in most situations early in the season. But the 4th quarter tonight, assuming Rondo just wasn't fully healthy, was the exact situation we needed Cassell for all season. Now that we have him, he's not used for that situation because we played well with house in the lineup for a bit and apparently Doc wanted to go with the safe option (in terms of public opinion)
