WHO THE HECK IS LEON POWE?!
If he didn't play, Celtics would have lost.
Boston was trying to play off the clock and slacking in the 4th, thus the comeback by the Lakers...but ended up short. Pierce, freaking key block!!!!!!!!!!
leon powe power forward of celtics. aiya.. that one is wrong move by lakers liao.. they should give it to kobe one..
yeah, kobe should mark pierce.. he's too explosive already.. and the lakers don't have what it takes to mark garnett either.
and worse of all, some new unknown fella comes in and puts up numbers..
there was a careless mistake by bryant , trying to alley oop to gasol but was too high for him to reach.
Nevertheless it was remarkable for the lakers to make a huge comeback from a 22pts diff down to as close as 4pts in the 4th quarter
hey did any1 notice radmanovic travel in the 4th quarter? after the steal? i wonder why there wasn't a whistle blown for it
GOGO LAKERS in GAME 3 at Staples Center!!!!!!!

ALL STARS CAST.......![]()
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Jack Nicholson was in his familiar courtside seat wearing his traditional sunglasses Tuesday night, cheering on the Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA finals.
It was a scene reminiscent of the 1980s, when Nicholson supported the Lakers at The Forum in Inglewood in their three finals matchups with the Celtics.
Actress Dyan Cannon, another fan dating to the Magic Johnson-led "Showtime" Lakers, was also on hand as was soccer star David Beckham, a Staples Center regular since joining the Los Angeles Galaxy last summer.
Actors Denzel Washington, Dustin Hoffman, Timothy Hutton, Kristin Davis, Hilary Duff, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone and Tobey Maguire were others who showed up along with directors Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg and Penny Marshall, along with Playboy boss Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends, the stars of the reality show "The Girls Next Door." Kanye West, too, made an appearance.
Former Lakers standouts Rick Fox and A.C. Green, ex-Celtics Jo Jo White and Bill Walton, and European soccer players Didier Drogba and Darren Bent were in attendance. Boston's Kevin Garnett got the tickets for Drogba and Bent.

radmanovic sucks, he miss a lot open shot, i don't know why phil jackson let him play on the floor, he got good defence skill? at least i didn't recognise any, he is just tall and all rounded player, or jack think Gasol is lonely, allow some other european player accompany,
yea.. he used to be a good 3 pointer. but like become not that gd anymore
seems that he don't generate enough chemitry with laker.
Screw all the missed freethrows!
Celtics won 97-91, watch the game to see the improabable comeback they did..... down 21 after the 1st quarter and fought back all the way. 3-1!
Surprisingly, the Lakers won game 5. 38 points from Paul Pierce wasn't enough!
the worst NBA final i ever seem .
Lakers played with NO EFFORT, and gave up midway during the 2nd quarter, thus they lost 92-131.
argh, the lakers lost!! game 4 was the deciding point.. they should never have lost it..
Ray Allen was in medical rm till 3rd quarter for injured eye but finished wif Finals career-high 7 shots of 3pointers.
Celtics led by 20pts by half time when their defence totally shut down lakers. They led as much as 48pts at 3rd quarter & never looked back.
The starters (esp Big 3) were taken off wif 4plus mins remaining in 4th quarter to celebrate & Pierce drench coach Doc Rivers wif a tub of Gatorate as pre-celebration.
---K.G hugged 11time champ former celtics Bill Russell to thank him for guiding him & told him "now he has to show him where to go from here". --- (what do ya guys think?)
Congrats to Celtics esp K.G.
He waited a long time for this, so do Ray Allen!
celtics the nba champs.... looks like danny ainge made the right trades...
Did you guys see the moment when Paul Pierce gatorades Doc Rivers? Priceless! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't stop laughing.
I felt that LA quit on themselves during game 4, and they wasted a trip up to Boston. Ray was amazing today... new finals record for 3's broken!
