Going Back to Boston for Game 6

Everyone in the office watching the Game 5 of the NBA Finals were on the edge of their seats, kept a straight look on the TV as the clock is ticking for the final minute of the game. The Lakers lead by 2 points and the ball is in the possession of the Celtics. All of us were waiting on what the C's are going to do; some of my office mates were chanting "Defense! Defense! Defense!" Obviously they are the Lakers fans. Some are expecting also that the Celtics will give the ball to any one of the Big Three. All of a sudden Paul Pierce had committed a turnover! That turnover had given Kobe and the Lakers a fastbreak opportunity; Kobe slammed it for a 4 point lead! The Lakers fans are rejoicing! They can sense Game 6 on the go.

Boston's Pierce scored a total of 38 points for the game but that didn't gave them a series finisher to own the crown. Kevin Garnett posted a double-double, 13 points and 14 rebounds; Ray Allen contributed 16 points. On the other hand, both Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol had a double-double performance with LO notching 20 points and 11 boards, Gasol had scored 19 and grabbed 13 boards. Season MVP Kobe Bryant had 25 points and had a big helped from vetern point guard Derek Fisher with 15 points.

I was thinking maybe Game 5 is really for Kobe and the Lakers, they've just played a good game. I was also thinking maybe it is sweeter for the Celtics to win the NBA Championship in Boston, in their home infront of a crazy-happy fans. With a 1 game and a homecourt advantage, the Cs can do it. Well anything will be possible. We have the best in the west going against the best in the east; it's a great rivalry in NBA history!
