I can't decide who should get the MVP for this game. Ray set a Finals record with 8 three pointers and Rondo messed around and got a triple double. What do you say we just SPLIT the vote? Oh yeah, and we split the 2 games in L.A. Nice.
- Ray Allen didn't play much in the first game. He made up for lost time in game 2. My goodness that man's jumper is beautiful.
- Rajon Rondo messed around and got a triple double... in the Finals. Love it.
- I was worried in the first half because it was basically Ray and Rondo carrying us. Nothing out of Pierce and less than nothing out of KG.
- I didn't think it was possible for Kevin Garnett to play worse than he did in the first game. Boy was I wrong. He was out of place all night and had no touch, no lift, no chance. But Doc stuck with him and he did some good things in the last 5 minutes.
- Speaking of bad games, Shelden Williams might have had the worst 4 minutes in recent Finals memory. Probably his last 4 minutes in the Finals too.
- Once again, fouls were a big story line.
- Nate gave us a nice spark and gave Rondo a timely break. If he has any more big games, I'm gonna have to petition the Celtics to give him that $1M bonus he missed out on.
- Got some big contributions from Sheed and Big Baby too. Nice work by the bench.
- Another big game from Pau and a very big game from "we lost in 08 because we didn't have" Bynum.
- Thankfully Kobe came up short in the clutch. That won't happen too often.
- The play of the game? That would be Doc running on the court to call that time out with under 2 min. left. Hilarious.
- It wasn't pretty (up 14 then losing the lead) but I'll take the win and the split. Back to Boston!
