Game Five

At 6:00 tonight we get to see if the Lakers are going to roll over and die, or if they can put forth an effort that gets the series back to Boston. Currently the Celtics have a 3-1 series lead. In the NBA Finals I don't think anyone has ever come from behind 3-1 and won the championship. So far the past ten days have shown Phil Jackson unable to get his team motivated for a full 48 minutes, a team of guys that can't keep their heads together for a Finals game and the only victory came when the Celtics best player had to sit with foul trouble. In other words the Celtics have come to win and Lakers came with no idea of what to do.
Lakers can win tonight if Luke, Vlad or Trevor can effectively guard Pierce, Kobe hits the pinch post jumper, Lamar controls the defensive rebounds and Gasol finishes around the rim. If they don't the leperchauns get to celebrate on our home court. (Yeah, I said "our" I have been a Lakers fan for life and I am a part of the team as their official future team chiropractor.) Hopefully the Lakers Sunday whites bring some luck.
