A very crucial game 5 for both teams fighting for the NBA FINALS 2010. The Boston Celtics cast a team effort against Kobe Bryant and the entire Los Angeles Lakers. And eventually winning game 5 with a 92-86 final score held at the TD Garden in Boston. And the Boston Celtics gains the lead in the series 3-2. With only one game away for another NBA title in their teams franchise history.
A team effort in a team game will lead into a sure basketball winnings. Rather than an All-Star game by only one scoring machine. I have nothing against "the Black Mamba" of the Los Angeles Lakers (in fact, I admired his leadership on the court and his ability to win games..crucial games for this matter) but, come to think of this. how can you expect to win games if you are the only one handling the ball and driving it to the basket.
I agree with the Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers' statement and I quote, "It doesn't matter if he (Kobe) scores, it is only 2-points not ten". Kobe's 38 points was easily toppled down by the Celts due to reasons that he is the only player out of the entire cast of the Lakers bench that is actively playing towards the basket. making him the only threat. So Celts defense are focused on him and not on Artest, Gasol, or Fisher. But focused on Kobe!
And on the Celtics on the other hand, how can you make a good defense against the 5 players doing their own stuffs inside the court. They are unpredictable and that is the bottom line.
Game 6 will be the much decisive ball game for both teams as they shift towards the Staple Center in Los Angeles for the last two games of the NBA FINALS 2010.
