after sleeping on it, i still don't understand how the celtics could come back from being down 24 and never leading the game until the last few minutes of the 4th quarter to beating the lakers. so here are my theories:
1. kobe bryant couldn't score on his life. even when the lakers were up by a gazillion points, he only scored 3 points or some ridiculous number in the first half. he was just not having a good series. or perhaps, the trio of kg, paul pierce and ray allen just was no match for the trio of kobe, pau gasol and er, ooops, there's no one else...
2. my friend, b, says it's because phil jackson took a timeout in the 2nd quarter while they were on a run. b claims the lakers' shooting suffered shortly thereafter. i think it actually started suffering after the halftime break. don't know if the players got cold, got too confident or got too something... whatever it was, it definitely did them in.
3. i think it was b's fault cuz he kept on telling me in the first half that the lakers got it in the bag and he got overconfident. thus, jinxing the game. but then again, he could say that i did not believe by doubting that the lakers would win (with good reason!) and thus, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
4. or, it could be that i started detoxing on monday and was completely sober while watching the game in a bar and was surrounded by drunk people.
whatever it was, lakers had a monumental collapse. ugh!
