At half time i said Boston will start the 3rd hot and will cut down the lead to a single digit before the final canto. Lakers will then have a mini-run.
Middle of third quarter:
KG's passion is inversely proportional to KG's aggressiveness: KG 4/9 FGs (8 pts) - Inside the paint 1/2 FGs (2 pts) and the sissy jumpshots? 3/7 FGs (6 pts)
Start of fourth 11:12 am: Boston loses on a Kobe game-winner. i can smell it.
Late fourth:
Finally, something inside the lane for Garnett. 12 points. C's ties the ball game at 77.
Kobe starting to heat up and will set up what i just predicted earlier. Book it.
Princess Pau, now you know why.
Two minutes to go. Or maybe not. KG is actually attacking the hoop. That is UNEXPECTED.
30 seconds to go. Allen attacks the basket. Easy. Sasha left, Pau did not help.
Eddie House free throw. Book it. This one is over. KG one win away from a ring. Good thing.
Eddie House for the NBA Finals MVP (#50 House scored 11 points on 4-of-9 FG shooting including a mid-range pull-up jumper that gave the Celtics an 84-83 lead late in the fourth. Was it 83-82 or 85-84? Eddie doesn't care. All he knows is he is a shooter so he shoots the ball at any point of the game be it a blowout or a close one. He chucks even in clutch, that he doesn't quite know.)
And oh, Garnett was 2 of 3 in the fourth quarter. All three shots right inside the paint (well not too close to a real post-up power move but he was attacking...)
Garnett's passion is inversely proportional to his aggressiveness which is directly proportional to a Boston W. And a ring..
