Boston outshot LA 37-9 from the free-throw line.  I don't think I have ever seen an NBA playoff game where there was a 4 to 1 differential in free throws taken.  Celtics didn't just have the BEST defense in the NBA this year, they had one of the best defensive seasons in HISTORY!  LA has played Boston 4 times this year and Sunday night was probally the best they have played against Boston in those games.  Paul Pierce scored 28 points in the game, a lot of it has to do with Kobe's poor defense though.  All I have been hearing is how good Kobe is on defense, what a joke, Pierce dominated him again.

Disgusting win by Boston, the Lakers can go home with a lot of pride.  Celtics dominated the whole game only to blow a huge lead and almost lost.  They really can't be proud of this victory, final margin should have been 16, not 6.  On the positive side, Boston did manage to blow LA out of the water before their epic collapse, so Celtics can be confident that they can play with LA and pile on a big lead, and not just grind out a low-scoring win.  If Boston plays 48 minutes instead of 36 minutes there's no reason why they can't steal a game in LA.  If they are going to win in LA, Boston needs to come out with a ton of energy because LA is going to get the refs' whistles back home.
