Playoffs

[LeBron]

It was a good first game. Bryant had a terrible game, I expected him to go for it in the second half but he didn't show up. Kevin Garnett was amazing, nearly every shot he took went in, and was also key in the defensive area keeping the Lakers to a double-figure score. In the first-half I didn't make much of Paul Pierce and then he got injured to make it worse. Fair play to him, coming back and getting two three point shots in a row, and then the one where he got four. A great second half for him.



I thought Gasol started well, but he kept getting called wrongly for fouls etc, you could sort of see the frustration. He seems to be a solid shooter and a great passer - In the next game I think he could be a lot better once the nerves are out of his system. There was no one else that really stood out; Well Ray Allen was alright but nothing special. The bench for Boston was very good, with Cassell doing a great job on the board.



I definitely think it will be a good game next time around, with a few players knowing that they have to step it up in order to break this Celtics team down - While Boston need to keep at it, shutting out Kobe and keeping him quiet and getting as many points as possible.
