A Bit Of Everything Sports

Chumps, Choke, or Champs?
What happened to the Lakers? Was it a great comeback or a let down? Did LA poop the
bed or did the Celtics just turn in one great second half performance? Why was #24 unable to put the franchise on his back again and hold the lead? GOOD QUESTION, we’ll look into that.
I wish I knew. It is a wonder at how often in an NBA game that a 20 point lead can dissolve in such little time. The only thing that makes this a little more refreshing is that this time there is no officiating controversy. Well it is basketball and they do argue with the refs every time that a whistle is blown, rightly or wrongly. If a baseball player argued with an ump about a strike call that much they would be tossed out of the game before 1 pitch was thrown. But I digress.

LA staked themselves out to a 20+ point lead in this game, but either something happened in the Boston locker room or the LA room at halftime to change that every elusive lady into another direction. Yep it was Lady Lucks twin sister - Momentum. A few quick scores and the fact that there was a lid on the LA basket made for the “Perfect storm” and primed Boston into a position to win and take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
People on the east coast must have figured that it was safe to go to bed at half with a safe 20 point lead. But just like the last game that evaporated and it went right down to the wire again. If we have learned anything with these 2 teams it is that both are capable of going on huge runs and in the end it is going to be close.
We will have to see how LA responds on Sunday and if they can prolong the series back to Boston. If not the big 3 will take yet another trophy to New England. Patriots, Red Sox...Celtics? What’s next a cup for the Bruins....hahahaha well 3 out of 4 isn’t bad I suppose.
