Lakers 111, Suns 103 (Lakers win series 4-2)

I had quite a busy Friday and Saturday, so I fell asleep for most of this game. When I woke up, the Lakers had the game in hand early in the fourth quarter. I considered changing the channel, but then a barrage of Goran Dragic brought the Suns right back into this game, with the Suns getting within five points of the Lakers. At this point, with the crowd behind their backs, it looked like the Suns were going to come back and …

Boston 96, Orlando 84 (Celtics win series 4-2)
Can everybody calm down now? All of this nonsense about the momentum being changed, give me a break.

Boston went into this game with every Celtics’ fan looking for the best heart medicine at the nearest pharmaceutical and every media press stating how interesting this series has gotten. All hogwash after tonight. Slash that, this series was never interesting. Everybody should be watching the Suns/Lakers series anyway. Boston had this series in hand from the get go. The last two victories from Orlando were …

Lakers 103, Suns 101 (Lakers lead 3-2)
Going into this game, my thought process was:
“If the Suns lose this game, then they will not win this series. If the Lakers lose this game, they can still win this series.”

In other words, in my opinion, the Suns had to have this game. The Lakers, to me, are more than strong enough to come back from a 3-2 deficit. Fortunately the Lakers won’t have to worry about that as Ron Artest’s layup with time expiring puts the Lakers in kill position. This was …

Magic 113, Celtics 92 (Celtics lead 3-2)
To be totally honest, I am not surprised that the Magic, at home, came out focused to take Game 5 of this series. Dwight Howard looked ready to go as he scored 21 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked 5 shots.  The real key to this game was Jameer Nelson.  Nelson gave the Celtics a dose of their own medicine as he did his best impression of Rajon Rondo.  He cut his way into the defense finding his teammates for wide open threes.  Nelson …

Suns 115, Lakers 106 (Series tied 2-2)
Here we go ladies and gents! Taking a page out of the old JB blogbook, I’m going to do a live blog of this game. I’ll update when anything important happens along with solid updates after each quarter. Let’s get to the action!

FIRST QUARTER:

Magic 96, Celtics 92 (OT – Celtics lead 3-1)
Down 3-0 and hearing the rumors that they already gave up, the Orlando Magic went into Boston and found a way to win in overtime.  Up seven with 2:15 left to play in regulation, the Magic surrendered their lead giving Boston a chance to win the game.  As Paul Pierce set up for the game winning shot, much like he did earlier in the playoffs against the Heat, he fumbled the ball.  As both teams dove for the ball, time expired setting …

Suns 118, Lakers 109 (Lakers lead 2-1)
One game at home, one victory for the Suns.  They took care of business like they needed to, to make the series a respectable 2-1 in favor the Lakers.  Amare’ Stoudemire shrugged off all the media talk of him not playing defense but still not playing defense BUT scoring 42 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.  After the first two games, the Suns seemed deflated so it was a good moral victory for this team to and they still have another home game before heading …
