I Am Happier Than You
Before we get into a Celtics love fest, no homo, let's talk about the best player in the NBA (no not Eddie House), Kobe Bryant. We can talk about his ZERO field goals or his tremendous leadership abilities Curt Shilling highlighted, but let's take a different path. Firstly, how gr8 was it to see Paul D him up the entire second half and block his turn-around J, Kobe haters must have loved it. I am not one, I loved watching him take over games throughout the regular season and playoffs (except Game 3 of course) and believe him to be a brilliant passer and finisher. I do however hate his looks after he gets called for a foul and his arm flailing when he tries to get bailed out going to the basket. I hate the perception that he is a good guy from his press conferences, even though everyone reads his lips during games and can only imagine what he says all the other times. HOWEVER (Steven A. voice), I hate his post-game press conference attire more than anything. ZOMFG DOES IT ANGER ME!! He wore another black dress shirt, this time with no god-awful tie, but instead wearing the ugliest shittiest coat I have ever seen in my life. He would have looked better if he got a math geek to create a coat out of graph paper for him. It was absolutely atrocious, more so than the things he was saying in the press conference. He answered the first question posed to him regarding how he and the Lakers would come back from this, by saying drinking WINE, BEER AND 20 SHOTS!!! YOU ARE THE CRAZIEST MAN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WHAT THE F DOES THAT MEAN?!?!? He proceeded to give insane answers like "We wet the bed, one that you couldn't prevent with a bath towel" or something to that nature. He made no sense kept moving his mouth and eyes around weirdly. HE IS PSYCHOTIC! He gave the weirdest press conference in the ugliest attire of all time I have ever seen and did it after a colossal 24 point collapse .
Ray Allen has been the most consistent player for the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. Ray Allen?!? Yes, Ray Allen! Wow, was he amazing in Game 4. He is the best shooter on the Celtics team obviously and weirdly enough the best fast break player and maybe finisher. On the amazing up and under layup over Garnett it was Ray who came up with the offensive board to allow it to happen. He played all 48 minutes and had 9 boards, two monster offensive ones that I recall. Ray was also the best ball handler late in the game, as Eddie House clearly doesn't have a left hand, his son is probably a better dribbler, but Ray attacked and did his damage in Game 4 by creating and making lay ups. What a performance from Ray this series, one could make the argument he is the Finals MVP over Paul Pierce so far. Not to mention his impeccable suit in the post-game interview with Steven A. Smith, as well as one of few NBA players to rock some fresh J's each game. Ray clinched Game 4 with his refusal of Garnett's screen up top and blowing by Vujacic (Game 3's hero) for a uncontested lefty layup. This led to the best moment of the Finals for Celtics fans as Pierce was jumping around the court with the fat on his arm jiggling and Sasha "The Machine" Vujacic slapping the chair next to him on the bench and starting to essentially cry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSmPDJiHm8
James Posey allowed the Celtics to go small and shut down "L.O" "Dey Know, Dey Know" in the fourth after Lamar had dominated the first quarter. He didn't guard Kobe interestingly as he let Paul shut him down, and delivered most importantly offensive firepower. Po-z, as his tattoo reads, hit three humongous three pointers to cut the lead and extend the lead. He had ice in his veins for sure bra. James was probably the player of the game, knocking down big shots allowing the Celtics to spread the floor (like the Lakers did in Game 2's failed comeback), giving room for Paul and Kev to operate. JAMES WAS UNBELIEVABLE AT SHOOTING 3'S!!!!!!!!
Eddie House started off slow as did the entire Celtics team, offensively and defensively. The offense changed though throughout the course of the game because of Edward James Theodore Constantanople House. In the first half Kobe continually left House to double other Celtics members and House couldn't make him pay, missing two wide open three pointers shooting 1 for 4 from the field in the first half. At half time he had the Celtics masseuse loosen up his shoulders, for real, and then during halftime warm-ups he hit 20 three pointers. I really didn't make that up. House made both three point attempts in the second, made a floater, and gave the Celtics their first lead, one they would not relinquish. The long distance two he hit was practically the same shot he missed in Game 3 that on the next possession led to the Vujacic back-breaking 3. Eddie didn't miss this one and after he hit it he said something like, "Yeah I hit that mother fuckers," to who knows. He taunted the fans at the end of the game screaming at them and showing them the team name on his jersey. Love the intensity and spacing he provides, as well as a well trimmed beard.
Paul Pierce had a sick "And 1" finish in the third to cut the deficit to single digits, putting miraculous spin on the ball after being bodied by Pau Gasol. Pierce had 20 points, when he scores at least 20 this series the Celtics are 3-0. The amazing part was that he did it at both ends, and was defending the best player in the NBA. Doc said that Pierce was gassed from doing this and that is why Ray took over on the Game 4 clinching possession. Kobe undoubtedly had to be affected offensively by going up against the bigger Pierce each time too. Or maybe it was because Kobe took some pretty poor shots in the fourth. Kobe did have a sick in-n-out burger dribble that destroyed Posey and Bryant capped it off with a two-handed finish. Kobe did get dunked on by P.J. Brown though!! Get 'em P.J.!! Back to Paul, his defense set the tone as he had no fouls going into the second half he knew he could guard Kobe and be physical. He had an amazing aforementioned block that was huge and captured the tenacity of the Celtics defense in the second half. Kudos to Paul for stepping up to the challenge in guarding Kobe, and also delivering on the offensive end too. Not to mention he called Michelle Tafoya "baby" twice in the immediate post-game interview.
Kevin Garnett shows you what an NBA player with millions of dollars is supposed to look like after an NBA Finals game. Look at that sweater vest and at that Windsor Knot. Well done KG, you game however, so-so. The worst first quarter ever for you, like ever, as you allowed them to score a billion points and again contributed nothing offensively at the start. Kev you had some big baskets in the fourth and two huge free throws so I credit you for that. It looked like you may have traveled on the short right handed jumper over Turiaf, Phil and Rambis certainly thought so, but you did hit some crucial turn around jumpers from the post. We still would like you to take over games though, but apparently so far we don't need it. What is weird about this series is that neither team has played their best basketball for four quarters. The Lakers looked pretty good in the first with Lamar playing the way he did, but he has only played well for two of sixteen quarters, that is unbelievable. Neither teams Big 3 have been playing well at the same time and have relied heavily on role players carrying them to victory. Offensively Pierce strictly controlled Game 1, but in Game 2 Leon Powe emerged, Game 3 Sasha Vujajic got hot, and Game 4 was all about Posey and House. Game 5 should be unbelievable and I expect great basketball from both teams, as the Lakers face elimination for the first time all playoffs and the Celtics have seemingly found the right rotation.

Pierce was guarding the best player in the NBA? Really? cuz I was sitting next to Lebron watching the game, and he seemed pretty undefended.
You should ask Rondo to link up his blog to this one. Maybe Reebok will make some 'You got Sexton'd" commercials and start the J-Weezy for SCIAC MVP campaign.
