1. Kobe got all the calls. And his fingers weren’t hurt enough. Or his toes. I don’t know. Kobe sucks.
2. Rondo was banged up, and everyone knows you can’t win a championship with three future Hall of Famers if your fourth-year point guard has muscle spasms.
3. The Lakers stole Gasol! Rip-off trades should only happen when a beloved former power forward becomes the GM of another team.
4. Simmons jinxed us.
5. The tech/ejection/suspension on Rasheed/ KG/Perkins is because the refs are out to get them, not because they’re crazy and/or jerks who have complained about every call ever. (Not gonna lie — Artest doesn’t do well in this category either. But at least we only got one crazy).
6. If we aren’t going to get a 38-to-10 free throw advantage like we did in Game 2 of 2008, how does anyone ever expect us to win?
7. Wait, they’re still playing? I jumped off the bandwagon last year. OK, I’m back! I never bailed! Celtics forever! What? They lost? Why does this always happen to me?
8. Fisher is a dirty player. That’s KG’s move!
9. Gasol flops too much. That’s KG’s move!
10. Pierce got confused on which injury to fake.

“I wasn’t the last guy to have sex with LeBron James’ mom so don’t point fingers at me ” ! Paul Pierce of the Celtics.
“Well who did ” ? Doc Rivers
“Well she told me that she wanted to have sex with us all so what gives ” ? Rajon Rondo
Rumor has it that Gloria James is on the payroll of Jerry Buss .

One game does not a series make and I could come up with a list of 10 Lakers excuses if the Celtics win game 2. But…
You forgot one: Chris Rock didn’t try hard enough to get Kobe to crack a smile and break his concentration. If he had done his “I’d NEVER hit a woman. Never, never, never, never, never! But I’ll shake the shit out of her” material, Kobe would’ve been on the floor rolling and the Celtics would’ve come back.
