It's not always a foul when Kobe's shot doesn't hit the rim. But it is 90% of the time. I thought the refs let the Celtics play Kobe rough today and he still put up 30.
I thought Game 1 was important, because it sets a tone for the rest of the series. The fact that the Lakers blew the Celtics out of the water is good news for me, because I was really nervous about Game 1. After tonight, I just don't see Boston being able to take a game in LA. The Lakers are just too good in the Staples Center. Plus I loved the stat at the end of the game... 73% of the teams that win Game 1, win the series. I like my odds.
The only things that disappointed me was the play of Lamar Odom and the stupid turnovers we committed. I think both will be better in Game 2.
I was impressed with the play of Farmar and Brown off the bench too. They rose to the occasion and I hope to continue to see the same success.
