another hour of thunderbird, champ, mister donut commercials. haay.

Something about who was drafted between hakeem and MJ...

ahh

sam bowie was the answer

i forgot the question lol

surprised channel 9 is showing the us feed and not using local broadcasters

this series is so evenly matched that homecourt advantage is a big deal

pierce pass deflected, turnover

artest drive, miss

awkward looking shots

robinson playing

bryant gets def reb

wallace great d on gasol

'pulls chair out' - barkley reference

BOS TIMEOUT

lal coming out with fire.

but its still way early

23-40 lal

although a 17pt lead helps

if this game was held at bos, im sure itd be a different story

bryant was headed towards bench before the timeout. lal enjoys that luxury.

such is homecourt advantage

27-45 lal

when pierce gets to work, its exciting to watch

marlon rivera, vote for bos on the polls pls

pierce knows he can't go up against the Lakers in game 7.

perkins injury is his knee, still in locker room

wallace 3 pfs

and we have a josh powell sighting

artest sinks long j

27-47 lal

rondo miss fancy layup

artest miss 3

artest has the license to shoot

out of bounds, remains with bos

2:27 q2

kg to jump against fish

fisher and kg jumpball called

fish won the last one game 5

yeah, leading to a fbreak

LAL TIMEOUT

which artest fumbled

yun na yun e. pagkakataon na ng la.

lol

taas pa rin ng confidence ni p jackson sa kanya

4-8 fg, 2-4 3pm

kay artest? he can make it happen naman din kasi.

parang si rodman dati...

r allen miss 3

announcer mistakenly calls him perkins

bryant miss j, odom puts it back

kg miss last shot 3 for q2

END OF Q2

31-51 LAL

Ttry mo http://www.firstrow.net/

overall, not a good game, as bos has yet to show up

of course, lal fans are happy, but im aching to watch a good game with both teams coming to play.

and lal has little to celebrate if perkins is down for the count. winning against an injured enemy means nothing.

just wanted to show that comment before i ban him

banned!

i dont understand these halftime shows. can't they do any better? seriously.

they're in hollywood right?

they can't get the bep? beyonce?

c aguilera is there right?

its the FINALS

hindi ba maganda yung silver two half-nekkid men dancing?

31-51 lal pa rin loudolf

dunno how to answer that noni

hahaha.

without implicating myself in some way

ok some stats

bryant 15, artest 10, gasol 7, odom 6

r. allen 13, pierce 8, kg 8, rondo 2

bos shooting 34% fg, lal 48%

at least walang foul trouble at the start...

Not like the first couple of games in LA.

lal 83% fts., bos 33%

yeah they adjusted

ftm - a 1/3 for bos

5/6 for lal

so lal gets to the line more

biggest new so far for the game: perkins still in locker room for knee injury

forcing rivers to field wallace longer and s. williams, whom so far has attempted 1 dunk (missed)

lal has fielded j. powell in return

sino un

bryant does not have to work so hard this game

jackson can maintain his usual changeup routine

news: perkins will not return

i think he's out for the rest of the season

score is still same as i typed it earlier

ok start of q3

pierce slips

stays with bos

fish called for 4th pf

tapos dramatic return, ala bernard king

yeah. ala larry legend

r allen miss 3

he usually cans those types of shots

31-51 lal

artest turns it over

davis misses easy layup

rondo sinks bank j

q3

gasol j miss

marc jackson on the spot - bad offense by the lakers.

farmar disrupts alley oop rondo to kg, bos retains poss

lal starting to fall asleep - a coach's nightmare

rondo miss j

garnett miss j

turns it over

bynum going back to locker, no reason yet

33-51 lal

gasol loses ball

r allen miss layup

uncharacteristic missies

bos keeps missing layups, but its ok. just keep trying.

odom sinks j
