NBA Finals Game 6 Live Blog: Celtics Try To Chip Away, Miss More Layups

  • I tried really, really hard to avoid criticizing ABC's production tonight, but after watching what basically amounted to a five-minute Inside Trax piece, I have to say something. I feel pretty confident in saying that was among the lazier halftime pieces ABC has produced in the last half-decade. Any Joe Schmo on YouTube could have done better.
  • Glen Davis starts the second half as Kendrick Perkins continues to be out with a knee injury. For those still doubting Perkins' importance, this game should silence them. The C's have fallen apart without him.
  • Davis just missed his umpteenth layup tonight. He plays hard, but he's still Glen Davis going up against an incredibly long frontline.
  • But he can be one of many Celtics that can force Pau Gasol into a fadeaway, so he has that going for him.
  • Andrew Bynum just went back to the locker room. I don't expect to see much of him the rest of the way.
  • Another great defensive play by Boston, another missed layup. You can't win games if you miss layups. Analysis! Watch out Mark Jackson. I'm gunning for you.
  • Look at Jeff Van Gundy disagreeing with Phil Jackson's approach to the game! It's so cute. Almost as if we're back in 1997 again.
  • If this is what Ron Artest looks like in 2010, I can't wait to imagine what he'll look like on the basketball court in 2013.
  • Bad play by Ray Allen there to let Kobe Bryant get baseline. It's made even worse by the fact that it spurred our first "GROWN MAN MOVE" comment by Mark Jackson.
  • Hey, KG, you're not supposed to flop. That's Pau's job.
  • Shannon Brown just threw down a better dunk than any he unleashed in the 2010 Dunk Contest. Let Shannon Dunk! (Or not).
  • And Jeff Van Gundy leads us into a commercial by having nothing to say.
