Lakers 103 - Celtics 98
Here is my breakdown
Kobe - Dominant in 1st Quarter, disappeared in 2nd and 3rd quarters and did just enough to get by in the 4th. Lucky steal from Pierce. He is still not MJ because of lack of defense and inconsistent play when it counts. He is not there mentally.
Gasol - Average game. Finally took it strong against KG to seal it for the Lakers.
D. Fish - Had most of his points on free throws.
Odom - Inconsistent, faded in and out of the game. When he is focused he is a game changer
Vlad Rad - Euro's don't play defense. This guy is lame
Vujachic - Shot horribly. See above about Euro D.
Jordan Farmar - Stepped up. He definitely wins against Eddie House.
Luke Walton - Tries, but just can't get it together in this series.
KG - "The Big Soft Ticket" should be his nickname. He lost this game for the Celtics. Mr. Defensive player of the year got overpowered by Gasol in the last minute of the game, then KG comes down and misses two clutch free throws. Boston will win this series whenever KG decides to show his power and quit settling for jumpshots.
Pierce - MVP of the series hands down. Played almost the whole game. Took it to the hole (Take notes KG), and the most important, played amazing defense against Kobe (not counting 1st quarter). Pierce is the leader.
Allen (Ray) - Consistent production. What more can you ask for?
Powe - Non factor
Rondo - Must of had the night off.
House - Can shoot, but he is no point guard. He struggles handling the ball against pressure D.
PJ Brown, Sam Cassell, Posey, Allen (Tony) - Championship caliber X-factor players.
Bottom Line - Kobe is no MJ. KG is no Shaq. Celtics will take it in game 6.
