NBA Finals Game 6 Live Blog: Lakers Take Double-Digit Lead At The End Of One Quarter

  • Kendrick Perkins was limping off the floor right there, and it looked bad. Doc Rivers responds by putting in Rasheed Wallace. Personally, I would have put Glen Davis in and let Rasheed rot on the bench, but I would have let Rasheed rot in February, and that wouldn't have been smart.
  • Stop it, Kobe.
  • Stop it, Mark Jackson.
  • Keep it up, JVG.
  • How do we know this game is being played in a different stadium? "Softee" Pau Gasol just got away with a flop on a rebound. You can get away with that here.
  • Ron Artest hits another three, and the Lakers lead by 10. Just in time for Shannon Brown to completely botch a fast break. Wheee. (Please don't overpay for him, [INSERT FAVORITE TEAM HERE]. Please don't overpay).
  • Paul Pierce just finished off one of those frantic Celtic fast breaks with a floater in the lane. See, Shannon Brown! That's how you fail to run a proper fast break and score anyway. That's how it's done!
  • A quick comment on everyone defending Kobe Bryant: in this case, I generally agree that it's unfair to criticize him, if only because so many of these shots are last-resort shots after Boston stopped everything else. At the same time, I really wish we could live in a world where constructive criticism can happen without Jeff Van Gundy yelling at me about it.
  • If Pau Gasol scores over Rasheed Wallace, does that simply mean he's less soft that Sheed?
  • Typical Celtics possession to end the quarter: nobody runs with Tony Allen, he miraculously pulls it out and they can't score in the halfcourt. Actually, there's really nothing typical about that, but I just wanted to use that phrase. LA is sharp early, but I don't see this emotion sustaining all the way through. LA's bench has got to come through in the second quarter.
