BOSTON — Instant reaction, other than the ‘spit-up’ that convulsively squirted from my mouth following the buzzer as the Boston Celtics posted a 92-86 triumph over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Sunday night at the TD Garden:
HOW THE GAME WAS WON: Ass-Doctors from Los Angeles showed up in clown gear and Halloween fright wigs. (See picture) Great for a backyard bounce-house kiddie event but hardly the kind of thing that gets you anywhere other than an emergency room.
KOBE CAN’T WIN IT ALONE: In fact Kobe can’t win it with four other guys. He needs 6 other guys for a total of 7 players on the floor. That means two more guys could have a chance at being fouled and maybe they’d make their free-throws..not to mention their field goals. I think it’d be fun.
STAT OF THE GAME: Lakers shot 39.7 perecent. And missed free throws…free throws they got an opportunity to shoot twice as many times as the Celtics. So their lead in rebounds didn’t mean jack shit, now did it? 15 Celtic turnovers…big whoop. The Lakers turned it over 12 times. Blow me.
WHAT IT MEANS: The Celtics will win game 6 and spank the Lakers in 6 and Frank can shag his ass from the TV and clean that G.D. pool refrigerator out. He’s got cans of Blatz in there from Jesus-Knows-When.
