The Lakers are young, and they let it slip by them because they simply did not play defense once they took that commanding lead. Thats all there is to it, and the Celts got the win by just keeping on and chipping away. Kudos to them, i give props where deserved.
Im still on the high of the Lakers being in the finals. Honestly, to me that was a perk because i thought they would truly contend NEXT year with Bynum, but a title this year would be nice. Still, as a Laker fan im irritated as fuck, but as a BASKETBALL fan, this series has been a pretty good one.

The previous game was similar. Lakers had the lead and then in the 4th quarter Boston started coming back. Then in the next game they used up most of their energy in the first quarter and couldn't shut out Boston in the end. And you can't forget about PJ Brown's dunk over Kobe and Ray Allen's wide open lay-up. That pretty much demoralized the Laker team and the fans. It's just like that one game, maybe game 4, when Spurs faced the Lakers and Spurs were ahead in the beginning and then they couldn't shut out the Lakers.
