    2-3-2 started after the 1984 Finals when the Celtics and Lakers were going back and forth.
    Boston for 1-2
    L.A. for 3-4
    Boston for 5
    L.A. for 6
    Boston for 7.

    The next year -- L.A. and Boston again -- was the start of 2-3-2.

    Where, then, is it being played?

    In Boston at whatever the hell the new Boston Garden is called - that was posted after Game 2.

    Garnett should stop shooting if he is going to be this cold.

    When he said THIS game, I was under the assumption he meant the game being played tonight. Let's stay in the present, shall we?

    Quoting this to point out the Lakers are about to take free throws No. 19 and 20, while the Celtics have taken 2. Pierce was hacked on his airball 3-pointer and the reason Perkins was yelling after that last dunk is because Gasol was riding him like he was a white girl in Colorado and he knew he would be not guilty.

    I'm not complaining, because I figured the Lakers would win this game anyway - they are playing much more aggressive and deserve the big lead.

    I'm just pointing out all the bitching from Lakers fans last game is pointless since the pendulem has swung.

    Bitching from any Lakers fans is pointless. They should all STFU.

    Everyone had to know the fouls would even out tonight. The question is do the Celtics have the mental toughness to overcome it, or do they throw in the towel and chalk it up as not their night.

    Dude, I wrote that two days ago.

    Why don't you stay in the present?

    Boston's gotta be thinking its lucky considering the Celts are only down six and KG/Pierce are 2-for-16.

    Ridiculous continuation granted to Perk right there. Kobe is locked in right now. I honestly believe that Rondo would be a bigger loss than Pierce would have been. That might sound crazy but the drop-off from Rondo to Cassell and House is far greater than Pierce to Posey IMO.

    That continuation was indeed awful.

    Both teams are really struggling from the line. Both Kobe and Ray Allen are missing free throws, you never see that.
