Thanks For The Appearance Chris Mihm!

Despite being miserably disappointed in firstly Kevin Garnett and secondly the Celtics being unable to close out the NBA Finals in Los Angeles, there was one bright side to Game 5, Chris Mihm. Phil Jackson put out the most random line up of all time at the start of the second quarter with “L.O.” as the only starter along side the Bench Mob and Chris Mihm. Mihm has been looking so nice on the bench with his beard, some kid in high school once asked me if anyone had ever told me I looked like Chris Mihm, it was unbelievable to see him on the floor. Doc Rivers countered Jackson’s rando line up with one that included Tony Allen, who basically hasn’t played since December against the Lakers in the regular season. Mihm was phenomenal in his three or so minutes, fouling Pierce a couple times, providing nothing offensively, and handing the ball to Tony Allen on an inbounds pass. Honestly, what could L.O. and Mihm be pounding about in this picture?!?
Quick thoughts on the Celtics: Rondo very unfortunately has no confidence this series as Kobe taunts him to shoot wide open jumpers. This has led to two horribly slow starts by the Celtics. Hopefully in Boston he attacks the basket and makes floaters and actually shoots wide open lay ups. If not expect House and Cassell to play a lot of minutes again. Garnett was putrid and some of the foul calls were too, but on some of them why is he even reaching in there with no Perkins available? Hit a big jumper in the fourth but went 1-4 from the line at the end of the game and missed two routine tip backs. He played like a pussy. Inexcusable. Pierce is a man and I hope he didn’t get too worn out from playing essentially the whole game. I hope the Ray Allen off court issues don’t affect his play. The Celtics look like the better team right now, they need a bench player to step up, but who knows what Kobe can pull off in Boston.
Oh shit I can't believe I almost forgot. Kobe undoubtedly reads this blog as his post-game suit was up to par. No Windsor Knot yet, but one step at a time. No black dress shirt and the suit didn't look like graph paper. Also he brought his two daughters to the press conference, oh he is so sweet and caring and a nice guy. Oh wait he is the biggest asshole teammate like ever. NEWAYZ, Paul Pierce's suit did not look very good after the game as his collar was really bad and his tie and suit just weren't that nice. Too bad he dropped 38 points on the Lakers and single handedly kept the Celtics in the game and got fouled by Kobe on the game changing steal to dunk play, whatevs.
