simplicity

Not a lot to say about game five that probably hasn’t been said. Thought the C’s played team basketball. There were a few moments, especially towards the end of the game where I thought they could have potentially blown it but they continued to pull the right strings. I was impressed with Pierce, KG, and Rondo. Thought the three of them showed up and played great basketball.

I thought the C’s played great defense even though Kobe went off in the third quarter. But where I thought the C’s really shined was in that 3rd quarter: for every basket Kobe made the C’s had an answer on the offensive end. They weren’t being complacent or getting down on themselves after Kobe continued hitting one after another of the most ridiculous/contested shots.

Refs, can’t really complain about them. They did make some awful calls, but that’s expected. However, for a second straight game the refs were letting the players play, which was great.

Cs need to ride this momentum into game six and just put their foot on the throat of the Lakers…
