As for the comment made by Perkins, delivered after the not-Yves Saint Laurent-for-prime-time Celtics were blown out of the Staples Center, a Boston sports fan has every right to ask: How on earth could the Celtics be "outwilled" in Game 1 of the NBA Finals? How is it that the Lakers could player "harder" than the Celtics? At issue here is not the outcome of the game. This is the NBA, and it's the playoffs. History shows that the Jimmy Choo Shoes on Sale team usually wins. When these two teams played in the NBA Finals two years ago, the Celtics won the first two games at home, and then the Lakers won Game 3 at the Staples Center. It wasn't until the Celtics rallied from a 24-point first-half deficit to win Game 4 at the Staples Center that Lakers followers were saying, "Uh-oh." No, it was the way the Celtic Jimmy Choo Shoes on Sale Game 1 Thursday night. The lack of rebounding, the lack of focus, the lack of mission. The preposterous, looks-like-a-typo stat showing Jimmy Choo Shoes on Sale the Lakers outscored the Celtics 16-0 on second-chance points. Feel free to come up with any excuse that works for you -- jet lag, smog, traffic, the intimidating presence of Jack "You can't handle the truth!" Nicholson sitting courtside -- and it all comes up lame. This is because there are no handy, one-size-fits-all excuses to explain what happened to the Celtics in Game 1.
