We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from Los Angeles.
In Kobe’s final game against the hated Celtics, he was able to deliver on that promise. The fans in attendance at Staples Center might have been the last to witness a solid game from Kobe, given that he only has six left at most and has often struggled mightily this year.
Bryant was able to put those difficulties behind him for at least one more night, dropping 34 points (four off of his season-high 38 against the Minnesota Timberwolves) on 11-28 shooting against Boston. It wasn’t the best game the future Hall of Famer has played, but it was evident that he had rested up and locked himself in for this one.
…
“Boston Sucks” may be the most popular Lakers fan chant this side of “We Want Tacos,” but for one last night, the big green target of that mocking chorus brought out the best in Bryant.
Los Angeles… where 39% shooting is considered a solid game and love for tacos trumps hatred for Boston.
Thank god the excruciatingly painful Kobe Bryant farewell tour (35% FG, 28% 3 FG) is coming to a close.
