The Celtics overcame the largest deficit in the first quarter ever in an NBA Finals game for the Celtics to go up 3-1 and for the Los Angeles Lakers to catch their first loss in these playoffs at the Staples Center this year. I mean, where did we go wrong? How did the Lakers let this happen? How did KOBE BRYANT let this happen? With a 24 point lead at the end of the first in Kobe's 24th NBA Finals game, how did number 24 allow Paul Pierce and the Celtics to get a win in his building?
The game started off great, Lamar Odom was getting to the basket, going 7-7 for 15 points in the first half, Pau Gasol got off to a good start, 9 points in the first half, Kobe Bryant didn't even have a field goal and they were winning by 18 at halftime (by a buzzer beater Jordan Farmar 3 pointer, no less). Phil Jackson stressed at halftime how important it was to go out and win the 3rd quarter, they hadn't won a 3rd quarter all Finals, and the Lakers subsequently were outscored 31-15 in the third to make the score 73-71 going into the fourth, which should have been when Bryant got going to make sure the Lakers didn't f*ck this up.
The Celtics finally caught the Lakers at 73-all on Leon Powe's jumper in the lane with 9:05 remaining, tying the score for the first time since it was 2-2 in the first minute.At that point, the Lakers looked lost, confused, you name it. And when House hit an 18-foot jumper with 4:07 remaining, the Celtics had their first lead, 84-83. Boston's bench erupted, Lakers fans gasped and it was just a matter of time before they were heading out of Staples Center wondering what went wrong.
They asked Kevin Garnett how it felt to be this close to a championship, and can he taste it.
"Yeah," Kevin Garnett said. "I can taste it."
Well guess what?
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are gonna beat the taste right out of his mouth in these Epic NBA Finals. See, we at dynastylakers don't think this series is over, despite all of the critics and statistics saying the Lakers cannot win this and the Celtics are the better team, this Celtics win is gonna light a fire up under Kobe Bryant and the Lakers more than people think.
SO, we are gonna GUARANTEE a Lakers win on Sunday, to make the series 3-2 heading back to Boston, the Celtics are DUE a home loss for beating the Lakers at home so i will GUARANTEE a Lakers win IN BOSTON for game 6, which will make the series 3-3 and a winner take all game 7 on Thurday in Boston.
I said this from the beginning, Lakers in 7, and you don't wanna see Kobe Bryant in a Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The 2008 Los Angeles Lakers are gonna be the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship, Kobe Bryant will be Finals MVP, and finally they will legitimately compare the career and skill of Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
