NBA Finals Game 3

Celtics vs. Lakers

Lakers 87 - Celtics 81



Kobe - Came out super aggressive with a smirk. Shot well from the field, horrible at the free throw line. He is still getting warmed up.

Pau Gasol - Was he even there?

Odom - Foul trouble, non factor

Vlad Rad - He can't play any defense and makes stupid fouls

D Fish - Got schooled by Ray Allen all game

Walton / Turiaf / Ariza / Farmar - All had good defensive games

Vujachic - Lived up to his nickname "The Machine" He was the Leon Powe of game 3.

Phil Jackson - Switched up the defense to have Kobe guard Rondo which allowed Ray Allen to have a good game, but neutralized KG and Pierce.



KG - Horrible game. Could not figure out what to do about Kobe's floating D.

Pierce - Did not know what to do about the Laker's defense. Pretty much a non factor

Ray Allen - Carried Boston because D Fish was guarding him

Perkins - Shut down Pau Gasol

Rondo - Did not really produce, he was confused that Kobe was guarding him.

Posey - Had a good all around game both offense and defense

Brown / Cassell / Powe / House - Contributed on defense

Doc Rivers - Looked lost and confused all game because of Phil Jackson's adjustments


Bottom Line - Phil Jackson won game 3 for the Lakers. His team will be on board for game 4 and take it a little easier than they took game 3.

We seem to have the same views when it comes to sports. Maybe some day, I'll be your assistant coach for lyd's basketball team.
