NBA Finals: Game 3

There isn't much to say about Game 3.

The home team won, as expected.

The home team got more foul calls, as expected.

Kobe had a big game, as expected.

What was unexpected was how bad Pierce, KG, Gasol, and Odom all played. Of those four, only KG scored in double figures, and that was only 13 points.

Actually, only four guys scored in double figures for the entire game: KG, Kobe, Ray Allen (Jesus is reborn!), and Vujacic. That's pretty bad for an NBA Finals game.

Plus, there was atrocious foul shooting for both teams (Boston: 68%, LA: 62%) which is inexcusable.

The overall point here, though, is that there is nothing really to take away from this game. It wasn't particularly well played, except for a few stretches in the third and fourth quarter, and the outcome was more or less inevitable.

It does set us up for a perfectly awesome Game 4, though. I can't wait for that.
