Nerdy stuff like sports, software engineering and other things that really matters


Quick thoughts from the first final

Paul Pierce! Even though I’m on the other side of the globe I could feel the energy when he reentered the game after been carried out with a sprained knee. And then he put down back to back 3 pointers, that I think sealed the deal. The Lakers could never recover from that, more on that later.

Rondo played good, but needs to take the good looks that he is getting. And that goes for almost everyone on the celtics team. They have good ball movement, but sometimes they pass to much and don’t settle for the easy plays.

Garnetts play to avoid the backcourt viaolation was the play of the game!

For the Lakers, Kobe did step up a little in the second half, but Gasol and Fisher were quiet. They need to play at the level they did in the first half.

Celtics made some really important 3 pointers, not only Pierce’s but when the game was on the line they executed, as opposed to the Lakers.

As said before the Lakers could not execute when then needed to, and that in combination with the fact that the Celtics was more physical and won the rebound game is why the Lakers lost this game.

Anyway time to sleep for me now, since the clock is 6 a.m. and I’ve almost been awake around the clock. So forgive me if stuff I write doesn’t make sense.
