Unbelieveable: Lakers Lose Game 4 After Being up by 24

I feel like I want to cry...

What else can I say, the Lakers had the Boston Celtics on their heels the entire first half, everyone was clickin', especially Lamar Odom who finally stepped up and the Lakers went up by 21 points to go into halftime and it looked like the game was over with the Lakers tying up the series 2-2.

I really can't believe I am saying this, but the Celtics really deserve some credit pulling off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. It just had to be against the Lakers didn't it?

There has never, I repeat NEVER been an NBA team that has ever, let me repeat EVER comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals. So a lot of people we be counting the Lakers out of the NBA finals now, all the haters will be out praising the Celtics, but we must keep hope alive, we must rally around the boys that gave us all the memories this season!! The Lakers will not go down with out a fight!
Yes, Lamar Odom played better and yes, the Lakers looked like the 2008 Lakers in the first half, but the Celtics resilient effort in the second half wasn't nothing short of amazing. Paul Pierce rebounded from his terrible game 3 performance by leading the way down the stretch in fourth quarter against Kobe Bryant and ending the game with a game high 20 points and being the difference in the game for the Boston Celtics.

I think the one big difference between these two teams through this series is that the Boston Celtics just take smarter shots and when the Lakers get a little rattled by Boston's lockdown D (best defense I have seen in a long time), they take bad shot after bad shot and just looked lost on offense.

As a whole the Lakers played great team basketball in the first half with Kobe turning into a distributor and both LO and Pau Gasol being a lot more aggressive and all the Lakers starters scoring in double figures, but the Celtics were continued to chip away at the Lakers lead in the second half and eventually broke the Lakers backs in the fourth quarter.

I will always believe in the Lakers, even if the series were at 3-0 going into this game, but Phil Jackson is going to have to find a way to break down this Celtic defense in order to win or even get back into this series. It is great when Kobe Bryant becomes a distributor and gets all the boys involved, but when the Boston starts to zero in on the role players and LO and Pau, Kobe has to step up and take over and that is just not happening.

Keep the Faith ALIVE! The Lakers can get back in this series!
