Really?...

Well.... At least Papa Garnett came to play.

After a night in which Ray Allen breaks the record for 3 pointers in a game, he misses all five of the 3s he attempted tonight. By not coming alive like he did in Game 2, Ray made it much easier for the Lakers to walk away with this game. Paul Pierce helped no one by going 1 for 8 and getting 3 fouls.

Missing half of their free throws (6 of 12) may have also been a reason for the tonight loss, and now fall in the series to 2 - 1 Lakers. But thankfully we have two more games at home to watch our boys try and even, and take a lead in this best of 7. If we can come out of Beantown with the lead I feel confident that we will be able to get a win in game 7.

I had it easy tonight due to dinner at Dos Caminos in SoHo. There were no LA fans in sight, and neither was there a television. I had a Mahi Mahi Taco and a Lobstah Taco, and washed it down with a Margarita. Definitely a good meal, but couldn't get into it due to the circumstance. I missed the whole first half of the game and was reduced to constantly monitoring my BlackBerry. Not ideal by any means....

What I was able to see was my team show their grit, and fight back at a team that was up by 12 at the half. I am proud of the effort by disappointed with the execution. If these two aspects of the game don't come together for the Celtics moving forward they will find the road ahead to be bumpy and full of "what ifs"...

Keep your heads high BosFans... Its a 7 game series for a reason.
