Kobe Bryant lead the Los Angeles Lakers to their first victory against the Boston Celtics in Game 3. The Celtics weren’t happy at all. Did they really think they’ll sweep the Lakers? The Lakers won by 6 (87-81). Boston is still leading the series (2-1). The Lakers proved that they can come home and defend their court the same way the Celtics did in Boston. Kobe Bryant scored a total of 36 points and 7 rebounds. Pau Gasol had 9 points and 12 assists. Sasha Vujacic had to regain some recognition after the loss in Game 2 scoring 20 points and 4 rebounds last night. Kobe knew he had to guide his team last night and give them energy:

“What I tried to do with my teammates is just stay calm,” Kobe said. “It wasn’t the end of the world. They did a great job of defending home court. We knew we had to come here and do the same. They feed off of my confidence and I have all the confidence in the world that we can come here and win.”

Celtics Win Game 1

The Boston Celtics played at home last night and cheated their way to a victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. If you watched this game you’d know they did too.

Kobe Bryant rocked Paul Pierce in the 2nd half of the game leaving Pierce injured and off the court. He then dramatically returned back to the court. Was it fake? You be the judge.

2008 NBA Finals Schedule

The NBA Finals start tomorrow night and I’m excited to see what’s in store for Game 1. The Boston Celtics will play at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. If you haven’t noticed it’s been a long playoffs for the Celtics and I don’t think that they have what it takes to defeat the Lakers and come out as champions. Although, the Celtics have 3 all stars, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, it’s been rocky for them in the past few games within the playoffs. The Lakers has soared to the top of their game sweeping the Denver Nuggets in the first set of the playoffs! If any team deserve it right now it has to be the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve really matured and they are now a better team than last year. I can’t wait to tune in to ABC for the NBA Finals

Game 1 airs Thursday (June 5th) @ 9 on ABC.
