I spent the entire second half on my feet in my living room. (This is the kind of event when the investment in a projection TV set is worth while.) The last couple of minutes were amazing with three-to-four Celtics collapsing on Kobe who swung the ball over to Gasol. As the saying goes, Pau got it done. What a gift to the Lakers from Barcelona via Memphis. The way LA was playing today, they looked like the champions. But there’s a long season ahead and then the real season – better known as the playoffs.

1. Webrider:Argggh, we’ll get you next time! Quite a game though, and probably a harbinger of the playoffs (championship series) again this year.
For some reason, my HDTV didn’t look as good as yours apparently did this game, Roger.
Dec 25, 2008 - 8:18 pm 2. David Thomson:I have spoken to God—and he assures me that the Houston Rockets will win the championship. Sorry about that.
Dec 25, 2008 - 9:49 pm 3. Steve Smith:Where were these lads last June? That defense in the final three minutes was suffocating, to say the least. When’s the rematch?
Dec 25, 2008 - 10:59 pm 4. Scott:Thanks for mentioning Memphis,Roger…NOT
Dec 26, 2008 - 2:54 am 5. Scott:Well,at least we don’t have the Lions…
Dec 26, 2008 - 2:56 am 6. Promoguy:Does any NBA regular season game really count when 90 pct of the teams will end up in the playoffs. Like hockey, which I don’t get, basketball is a playoff deal which makes the regular season, quite frankly boring.
But then again, I think there is nothing prettier than a middle line backer blowing through the offensive line and SMASHING a quarterback.
