The Garbage That Was Game 3

The Celtics should have won this game. The Lakers took the fourth but it wasn't anything Kobe, Sasha, or Phil did. Here are my initial reactions:

1. Paul Pierce was snake bit when he was hit with his first two fouls. He just couldn't get over the foul worries.
2. KG cannot sell a blind man on his jab step. I wouldn't be surprised if Phil tells his bigs to not worry about KG and the paint because he just wont drive there. He will swing to the left or right but he just refuses to crash the board.
3. DOC RIVERS CANNOT HANDLE 4TH QUARTER ROTATIONS. Paul Pierce played the majority of the 4th with five fouls and worried he was gonna kicked off the floor. Put in Powe, play Perk/KG/PJ. Just sit Paul for five or six minutes to cool him down.
4. The Lakers offense has completely turned into trash. Much will be said about the Sasha 3 with under two minutes to go; but their movement was off and they were basically held down. For all the talk about shoddy ref work, The Lakers did not take advantage as much as they should had.
5. Kobe and Pierce pretty much switched roles. Kobe was quiet in game 1 and a grump, and Pierce sulked and worried in game 3. Game four should be a interesting because both coaches should basically be saying Drive to the hoop! Drive to the hoop! Drive to the hoop

More tomorrow. time for sleep.
