So how come Boston gave up. That was pretty pathetic. I wouldn't be surprised if Boston goes on to lose the series.

BOOYAH! Lakers won. Kobe erupted to help the Lakers win. Games 4 and 5 are in the bag for the Lakers.

Lakers were good this time around but by the way it is sounding the Celtics have sounded like they are giving up. Game 2 they let 41 points in and wasnt playing like they should have. Now this game sounds like they sort of gave up on the game. I didnt get to watch it but oh well. Game 4 will be good i think cause it could decide the series in my opinion. Lakers win they could have to much momentum and win the series but if Boston wins the Lakers may lose alittle bit to much hope and if they return to Boston might lose in Game 6.

I orginally predicted that the West would win reguardless but i am still pushing for the Boston Celtics not because i hate the Lakers but more because i want to see KG win one for once.

^they were down 6 with 28 seconds left and didn't foul, they chose to let the time run off. while i guess one could consider that as giving up, chances were against them anyways.

the refs were just as horrible this game for both sides, they gave a lot of tick-tack hand check fouls but let some heavy banging go on in the paint.

The Lakers weren't necessarily dominant that whole game though. Ray Allen, surprisingly, was the most dominant of the Big 3. Pierce and Garnett were struggling the whole game. LA should have taken more advantage of that game, and as much s I hate to say it, they shuold have won by more than 6.

Lakers starting off strong in Game 4. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Outside of the Finals, the Bulls sign Vinny Del Negro as their 17th franchise head coach.

10:47 left in the 4th, and Boston caught up. Down by 2.

Ouch... sheer raping comeback by Boston.

THE TRUTH STRIKES AGAIN!

[marlousmiracle]

Oh my God can't believe it. I took a shower during the 3rd quarter and they came back and won! Guess I gotta give credit to Blinkboy's Celtics for grinding the victory out. Still goin for the Laker though even though Boston just increased their chances of winning it all.

[blinkboy211]

wow i didnt watch this game again but when i got on the internet and yahoo had that headline i was like; HOLY SHIT! I couldnt believe that Lakers dropped a 24 point lead. Wow. So sorry to say it to all those Laker fans but: this series is over. I dont see this going past game 6.

The Lakers will make history as the first team to come back from a 3-1 series in the NBA Finals.

[T-M]

Oh well, they lost. Horrible game for the Lakers, their first home lost since late March, I think.

Whatever, I smell a comeback in Game 5, though. But Game 6 might be in Boston's hands.

[blinkboy211]

well i would give the Lakers game 5 but the problem is they gave up a huge lead and lost. Thats hard to overcome mentally. I think some of the plays on the Lakers will be but it could result to Kobe trying to do everything which i will doubt he will win if he has to be.

[Agent007]

Wow they dropped a 24 point lead? That sucks, I'm from Boston but not that big on Basketball. I hope the Celtics win though, for the obvious reason.

Don't even say that, you look like a complete Lakers fanboy, the most hated type of fanboy known to man.

It'll end in 6. As much as I hate LA, I don't think they will lose the NBA Finasl on their home court.

Ugly game but they barely grinned it out. Good job Lakers.
