obama us and tattoos

Photo from awesome coverage in the Boston Globe.

Observations:

1) Doc Rivers is one polite guy. When Pierce doused him with the red Gatorade, he didn't flinch. Pierce must have apologized to him because I heard Doc say "I don't mind at all."

2) Phil Jackson's pre-game pep talk had at last one person in the locker room openly yawning. This is not a good sign for your team.

3) Paul Pierce's emotional remarks to --who is that woman, the reporter-- at halftime. "We want it bad," he said. And they did. Doc wouldn't even let himself touch the trophy until it was his. I saw him touch it for the first time and it must have been so satisfying.

4) Kobe is a great player, but you can't do it all yourself. Dan Shaughnessy says in today's Globe that the Lakers have "too many Europeans." I guess he means they don't have the passion? The love? I remember a few years ago when Michael Jordan won the trophy and he was writhing around on the floor of the locker room, kissing it. He said he was going to keep playing while he still felt this way. "My love is strong," he said.

5) Ray Allen finally did a chest thump. It was so nice that no one guarded him during the game, allowing him to hit all those treys. Thanks, Lakes.

6) Wonder why Larry Bird didn't show up. In general, the quality of our celebrity audience members is more on the B list....

7) Bill Belichick doesn't look right with that blonde woman. They look like they got seated together by accident.

That's all I can think of right now.
