Live Blogging Game 4

1st Quarter –

Less than 20 seconds into the game and an official tripped and fell down. Either that or a “magic bullet” got him from the grassy knoll. Either way, he’s fine.
Kobe just put in a shot that was CRAZY.
Ray Allen is on the board already with a field goal. Don’t let him get hot.
When the Celtics want to play “D” there is no better team in the league at it.
How about “the truth” (Paul Pierce) sucker punching the ref with his celebration fist pump?
Sheed was in the game less than a minute and picked up two fouls. Somewhere Dean Smith just turned the TV off.
WordPress.com has been down so live blogging hasn’t been live or blogging…
End of 1st Quarter – Lakers 16, Celtics 19

2nd Quarter –

Looks like we might have us a “barn burner” here tonight. Close game.
Why would you double team Ron Artest? Honestly.
I’m not sure if this has been a good defensive game or a bad pickup game.
Three fouls on ‘Sheed. Strong performance. Getting his moneys worth I guess.
Wow. Rondo 4 for 15 from the free throw line. He’s in Shaq territory now.
Uh oh….Kobe’s heating up again. Legend…
We just had our first Roger Murdock (Kareem) sighting at the 2:06 mark of the 2nd quarter.
No report yet if Captain Oveur or “Joey” are in the house too.
“The Truth” is that Paul Pierce should NEVER lead a fast break. That was like Upwards basketball…
The best part about the first half is that it’s now over.
End of 2nd quarter – Lakers 45, Celtics 42

3rd Quarter –

Start of the 2nd half. Let’s light this candle!
No Bynum here for Lakers. Must be nice to have Khloe Kardashian’s husband off the bench.
In my dreams I have calves like Ray Allen. In reality I have calves like Glenn Davis.
Perkins just contributed a nice chunk to my “Celtic Cuss Jar”
Has Adam Morrison played one game in the NBA yet?
Gettin’ Chippy in the Gah Den
The shot Fisher just put in will be on Youtube in 3, 2, 1…. It was wicked crazy (in a Boston accent)
Celtics up by one. Time to go to Vujacic? Um…okay.
They say Perkins is a great guy off the court. All I know is that on it, he’s a bit of a tool.
Was Rick Berry wearing a velour running suit in that T-Mobile commercial?
Big minutes there from Vujacic. At least commit a foul and get in the books next time dude.
Sheed back in the game (Whistle), Four fouls now on Rasheed. I’m not making this up.
Kobe’s locked in. Needs to go Keyshawn now….GIVE HIM THE BALL!!!
I’ve seen it all. Two three second calls in one game. WOW. Can we get a traveling too?
End of the 3rd Quarter – Lakers 62, Celtics 60

4th Quarter –

This one’s going to go the distance. My game 3 prediction of Kobe hitting the game winner might have been one game too soon.
You know, when I started this live blog with a photo of Big Baby, I never imagined he would be the difference maker in the game.
Good to see former Duke Blue Devil getting significant minutes….on the bench.
Ray-Ray found got his groove back for game 4.
Could have done without Big Baby going “Turner and Hooch” and slobbering in front of the camera there. What was that?!?!?
Another healthy contribution to my “Celtic Cuss Jar” courtesy of Glenn Davis.
Another foul on ‘Sheed. Add a technical and I’m going to need a bigger “Celtic Cuss Jar”.
Is Ray Allen the only one with a level head on the court for the Celtics right now? You’re up 9 and getting techs. Unbelievable.
Lakers need to make the technicals for it to matter though. Thus far they have not.
Time to go to Vujacic again. Lakers down 9.
Slipping away from LA. Kobe prediction in jeopardy.
Why is Kobe just now getting the ball when game is all but over?
That should just about do it. Horrible call there. Bryant was set.
Or they could foul Kobe shooting a 3 so he gets to score with no time off the clock…
Rondo steals the ball…ballgame.
Celtics bench was the difference tonight. This thing could go 7. Not sure I can live blog 7 but I’m also pretty sure no one is reading anyway…
Final Score – Lakers 89, Celtics 96
