So, like I knew it, Lakers took the first game. They came out powerful, agressive, and wanting it more than the Celtics. Celtics played really sloppy with turnovers and really bad shots. I loved how Artest and Pierce kinda got into it. I thought bringing Artest to the Lakers was a bad idea but it turned out to be really useful. He's aggresive and likes to get under players skin. Though I don't like the idea of him shooting sometimes because I believe he's trying to be like Kobe and make every shot, but if he's knocking down shots then I hope he plays like that for the rest of the series. How funny was it when Pau Gasol said that KG is softer than he was two years ago in the finals? LOL! The thing is I think Gasol is right. KG did play soft and was not even aggresive with Pau. I just hope Gasol can back-up his words calling him soft and play even more aggresive with KG, if not you can bet that KG is going to be saying something towards him. Now on to Kobe, what a player! He doesn't care about rivals or if he's better than MJ(Micheal Jordan). He wants that ring and that championship. You know that he's going to come up harder and harder every game of this series. I mean the man wants the ball every chance he's on the floor. He scored 30 points which not to metion the last one he scored was a three pointer with seconds left and that was kinda funny to me because it just made the Celtics look silly lol. I can see Kobe, again, scoring another 30 point game, with the Lakers winning again tonight. My final thought of tonights game. If Celtics don't play like they did with the Magic and Cavs then they're not winning tonight. KG has to be aggresive, Rondo has to do what he does best and pass the ball more better and not get his shots or passes blocked, and Pierce has to knock down three's. I have the score of the game being Lakers 101 and Celtics 91. Round 2, Go Lakers!
