6/11: LA Chalks, Donaghy, etc.

  • LA gets on the board in Game 3 behind Kobe's 36 and a little help from Boston.....Pierce and KG go a combined 8/35 from the field (while still having every play drawn for them, namely Pierce from what I've heard)....Sasha Vujacic's 20 was enormous....during one sequence early he hit 2 straight Kobe-like cross-over step-back jumpers that had me saying "wow"....I loved KG taking 21 shots...but you gotta make more than 6...I never envisioned a scenario in which Gasol and Odom would combine for 13 points...in a win....unless, of course, Kobe had like 60...so the fact that they stole this one bodes well
  • Tim Donaghy drops another bomb...saying games were basically fixed through Ref/NBA conspiring during the 2002 and 2005 playoffs...if this thing sticks, it's going to kill the league....but only to a point....there have been allegations (and even evidence) of this type of thing for years and it hasn't done too much damage, but it'd be interesting to see how a scandal like this would be handled by the almighty David Stern....
  • Tom Glavine goes to the DL....again....man, that's weird...the guy never gets hurt....but he's old so that'll happen...and oh yea, the Braves home/road split is still absolutely laughable....25-11 home and 7-22 road....I've never seen anything like it
More later
