    Default Discuss how/why the Celtics just beat the Lakers in 2010 NBA Finals game 5

    The Celtics now lead the Lakers 3 games to 2 in the 2010 NBA Finals.

    If you just watched the game, discuss how Boston was able to win

    Laker players other than Kobe and Fisher have no heart and can't handle pressure.

    Artest being atrocious on both ends of the court.
    Bynum still hurt.
    Pau played like 2008 Pau. Owned by Garnett.
    Lack of poise down the stretch...again.

    This would have been a blowout had it not been for Bryant's third quarter explosion.

    Defensive. They shot 39% (Lakers). The Lakers kept it so close due to the offensive rebounders and turnovers by Boston. And Kobe going crazy.

    the more you watched these two teams play the more you realize that the celts are just the better team. They played horrible against the lakers the past 4 games and the series was tied 2-2. It tells you how good this team is even when they are playing horrible. In today's game they played Celtics ball. it was defense that created their offense. They didnt get many calls and yet still were able to control the entire game and even withstand a Kobe onslaught. The better team just won and I find it hard for the lakers to win 2 games against this celtic team.

    congrats....the better team won.

    The bench is huge. The bench won game 4 and they made great plays in game 5. With the Celtics bench, you have to change your entire defensive plan.

    Celtics vs Kobe.

    That only works in the regular season. The better teams deserve to win in the finals.

    Missed calls by the refs sure took a lot out of the momentum that was heading towards the Lakers but they were playing terrible defense the whole game. 56% shooting.

    Andrew Bynum:

    31 minutes
    6 points
    1 offensive rebound
    0 defensive rebounds
    0 assists
    3 fouls
    1 turnover
    -12 (+/-), worst on both teams by a lot

    Pierce and KG were huge, others did their part, but Rondo with Ray made a bit too many mistakes.

    It was a bit surprising Celtics were able to answer every single Kobe's divine shooting in the 3rd, it was like Kobe was playing alone against balanced Cs offense (KG/Pierce/Rondo, etc. - everyone were scoring). Honestly Celtics won because they wanted it more as a team, who on Lakers side were playing their hearts out? Fisher started great, but eventually refs stopped paying attention to his flopping, Bynum tried, but was too slow due to knee, Kobe was amazing, just in stretches. Others didnt even showed up.
