Celtics-Lakers 2010: Game Six…

Ok, I’ll say this upfront: I think that there will be a game 7, but I hope not.

Garnett starts the scoring off of a fast break off of a miss by Bryant 3…but Bryant ties it.
Ray Allen: nice stroke early. Fisher: nice flop early.

Sloppy pass; 9-6 Lakers. The Lakers are hustling all over the place. Nice lay up by Allen; pass by Rondo, 3 point play.

9-9 early. Allen buries a 3! 12-10, Celtics. Mr. Bryant: 12-12.

Ok, 14-12 Lakers, Rondo gets fouled but will probably miss both. Good, he wasn’t shooting. Bryant a difficult shot.

It is 18-12; sloppy pass by Pierce was intercepted.

Half way: Allen has 8, so does Bryant. All the Laker starters have scored. Only Allen, Rondo (2) and Garnett (2) for the Celtics.
But Ray Allen is 3-5; that is a good sign.

Perkins got hurt; that is a bad sign (defense, rebounding).
Bryant another ridiculous 3. 21-14.
23-16; good flop by Gasol and the referees bought it.
26-16 early; this one is a rout.
Ooops, Pierce breathed on Gasol…foul.

Bryant 11, Artest: 8. That is the bulk of the damage.

Sloppy pass by Pierce again. Gads, this is horrible.
Bad quarter; 28-18 Lakers. Lakers: 60 percent shooting, Celtics 40. 12 rebounds for the Lakers, only 5 for the Celtics; this has been a butt kicking.

Even their back ups are hitting; this one is over. 30-20.
The Lakers can’t miss; 32-20.

Horrible turnover by Robinson. Celtics are ice cold and not rebounding.
3 fouls on Wallace. Ugly.
The starters are back in, save Pierce who hasn’t played well as yet.

The onslaught continues unabated. No block out; 40-23. The Celtics look lethargic. Rebounds: 22-7.

Gads, even the Laker scrubs are hitting 3s…20 point lead.

29 points in the first half with 1:32 to go. This is absurd.
Celtics: shooting 34 percent. Will they get to 30? 51-31 Lakers at the half. 51 isn’t a ton of points, but the 31 is beyond horrible.
Rebounds: 30-13 Lakers. Gasol 8, Bryant 7, Odom 6. Any two of these guys together have more than the Celtic team.

Perkins is out (knee injury).

Only ONE Celtic besides Perkins, Allen and Pierce has made a field goal.
No offense. Bad passes.

They can’t even hit a lay-up.

The Celtics are playing harder. But right now, the Lakers are getting every roll; the Celtics zero.
But right now, the Celtics are in a position where they need every roll…and that means you are going to lose.

Still, the effort is better.
70-51. The Laker bench has 21. Celtic bench: 0. What a reversal.

Rondo bricks two free throws..what else is new. But the Celtics are hustling…and still missing shots. 73-51. Time to get the starters out, I think.

76-51 at the end of 3. Again, 76 is not a lot of points but 51 is pathetic. The Lakers don’t even need to score in the 4′th to win the game.
49.2 percent for the Lakers, but only 36.5 for the Celtics.

Oh well, this is total domination.

10 minutes to go, so Rondo is the only starter.

Now they put in Pierce and Allen with 6:30 to go; the announcer thinks that Doc Rivers is letting them try stuff for game 7.

Question: will the Celtics even get to 70 points? 89-67. Yes, 89 isn’t a lot of points. SIXTY SEVEN????
