NBA Finals Game 6 Live Blog: Celtics Out Of Sync Offensively As Lakers Take Control

  • Doc Rivers just used the phrase "50-50 ball" in his pre-quarter interview. It's a phrase I'm hearing more often in the NBA, and I have a message to those using it: just stop. That phrase is reserved for people who actually use their heads. Soccer players.
  • Sasha Vujacic does one thing really well: hit foot-on-the-line two-pointers. There, I just crossed off "say something positive about Sasha Vujacic" from my bucket list.
  • Just another bad offensive possession by the Celtics. It's the most important game of the season, and the wrong guys have continued to touch the ball ever since very early in the game. I guess this is what happens when Nate Robinson is your point guard.
  • Speaking of - Rasheed Wallace just launched a contested three with five seconds on the shot clock. Like I said - the right guys need the ball.
  • Wallace just picked up his third foul trying to stop Lamar Odom in transition. He's in foul trouble, and Kendrick Perkins is injured. Jeff Van Gundy says this is a good thing because it means Kevin Garnett is back in, and the Celtics need 40+ minutes from him tonight. Try telling that to KG's knees.
  • Rajon Rondo just threw the ball right to the Lakers, which led to another Laker fast break. Of all players, Rondo's issues right now are hurting the Celtics the most. He's drifting mentally, and the Celtics have been disorganized as a result.
