Game Five Twitters

Celtics go down big early but manage to claw their way back.  Once again, even though it is a loss, I am optimistic that the Celtics kept it close in a game where you knew the Lakers would play with desperate energy and a number of the Celtics starters were limited by injuries.  Other thoughts:

-  Jeff Van LegHug on Luke Walton:  "he has great basketball IQ, but poor lateral movement,"  which is a polite way of saying "Luke Walton is a white guy, but he basically sucks."

-  Whiney McRapist heaves the ball out of bounds and has the temerity to bitch out Gasol for not rolling off the pick.  Maybe Schilling was right. 

-  Forget about teh suck, that Bill and Luke Walton halftime feature was touching.  But if I am playing pickup basketball at the Walton's, I am so picking Larry Bird first.

-  With 9:26 left in the 3rd Quarter, the following exchange occurs:

Mike Breen: "Derek Fisher appears to be in some discomfort."

My Wife:  "Good!  The little bitch!"  (awkward pause)  "I hope its psychological discomfort."

-  It will be good to be home.  Assuming the plane ever gets here.
