Boston's big three just seemed to be too much for the Lakers. It felt like Boston's big three against the Lakers big one. very well said! Boston’s big three just seemed to be too much for the Lakers.

Kobe on Rondo was a great move by Phil and as we saw it took Rondo right out. The kid has game, he has shot, but he lacks confidence in either. The full court press did not help. House is out there to spread the floor, and even a half court press is going to help the Celtics more than it will hurt them. Especially when they are playing small ball with Posey on the floor. Kobe on Pierce is suicide. It's worse than Kobe on Allen. Not because Kobe can't defend. He can play D! It's that he can't contribute on both sides of the ball with an assignment like Pierce. He'll stop pierce but he won't be their offensively as a result. Just like when he was chasing Allen through those Garnett and Perkins screens. Kobe attacking the basket, yes! This was the foul disparity between games 2 and 3. One team was aggressive the other wasn't. Then they swapped. Kobe has to attack the rim, it's a must. It opens things up and gives him the balance his games needs for the Lakers to win. DFish on Allen has not worked yet. Allen has been a rock all series. He should get MVP but he won't. He's been the only consistent player on offense for the Celtics. Even when Kobe was on him he was still putting up his points. He came to the Finals with something to prove to someone. And he's proving it. I've questioned the Celtics heart, character, and killer instinct all playoffs long. So I have little faith they'll end things properly and win game 5. Even though they finally showed all three last night. Wait for Bynum to come back and this series will be better next year. Ignoring last night’s result you are partly correct.

I agree with most of it but i would make a few changes and definitely include Chris Paul #1 Kobe Bryant - Kobe Bryant(though i dont like him as much as others may he deserves it) #2 Lebron James - LBJ(he may not be a clutch player and has no shots, he is still in the beginning of his career, he'll get better) #3 Tracy McGrady - T-mac(he was good, he is good, and will be until he retires what more can i say) #4 Allen Iverson-Chris Paul( as much as AI is good he is the old days put him back in the day with jordan and he's pretty good but now its the younger more improved players) #5 Tim Duncan - Steve Nash( my idol, though still trailing behind trying to show some life hopefully gets traded or something) #6 Steve Nash - Tim Duncan( although i too hate the spurs, they wouldnt have those championships without him) #7 Dwayne Wade - KG(Underrated and can finish when you need him to) #8 Dirk Nowitzki - Dirk Nowitzki #9 Kevin Garnett - Dwayne Wade( a very good player although just stunk this season due to injuries) #10 Shaquille O’Neal - Deron Williams( no one ever talks about him though he has made as much of an improvement as Chris Paul, also i would never put Shaq here, he just made the suns worst) This isnt bad at all.
