Game 2 Twitters

The Celtic's defensive collapse at the end of the fourth quarter was alarming, but a couple of clutch free throws seal the deal.  Bring on the Staples Center and those arrive late, leave early Lakers fans.  Other thoughts:

-  Whiney McRapist getting T'ed up for bitching about touch fouls.  That is irony.

-  Hidden Powe comes up big with 21 points, including a series of breathtaking dunks to close out a mega third quarter.

-  Every time Rondo passes up an open jump shot, a puppy dies.  

-  People often say that Pau Gasol is Kobe's Scottie Pippen.  What a huge insult to Gasol.

-  As much as I love out-of-bounds hustle plays, Odom spiking the ball on a prone P.J. Brown was busch league.

-  Overheard in Cambridge:  "Driving that train, high on cocaine, why does my Luke continue to bring teh suck."

Game 1 Twitters

I had intended to do a thorough finals preview, involving extensive sabermetric breakdowns of the individual matchups.  But the real world intervened, so instead, some random thoughts:

-  Paul Pierce...Willis Reed or Drama Queen?  Who cares, that four point play was brilliant.

-  Half Court violations the decider?  Gasol gets penalized by a bogus half court violation call.  Kevin Garnett dives for a jaw dropping half court ball save.

-  Crouching Brown, Hidden Powe...one makes fantastic hustle plays on defense, the other pounds the offensive glass.

-  Space Alien Sighting!  Cassell, hot in the first half, jacking up ill advised shots in the second. 

-  Do you think the marijuana addled brain of Bill Walton notices when his son brings teh suck?

-  Phil Jackson - the proclaimed "master of the strategic time out" by Jeff Van LegHug - can't get his team to foul when they are down by three possessions with under a minute to go? 

-  Celtics win!
