WATERCOOLER CHAT: CELTICS PULL OUT HISTORIC WIN IN GAME 4

Another historic game in an historic rivalry. The LA Lakers were up by 21 points after the First quarter and  by 24 points by the third quarter. Then, the Boston Celtics rallied for to an incredible comeback to win 97-91 for a 3-1 lead in the series. 

The record books show that no team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, but records can be broken. After all, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Celtics comeback in this game was the largest comeback in the Finals since 1971.

Watercooler Chat Discussion: Does anyone else have a problem with Kobe Bryant's interview after his Laker's loss Thursday night? He said,  "We just wet the bed. A nice big one, too, one of the ones you can't put a towel over. It was terrible. Nothing you can do about it. They played great in the third quarter, we played like crap. They pulled out a great win, now it's time to move on to the next one, period." Then he went on to comment on how the Laker's will bounce back,  "Whine about it tonight, a lot of wine, a lot of beer, a couple shots, maybe like 20 of them, digest it, get back to work tomorrow. Nothing you can do."

Ok, maybe he was kidding about the drinking or making some kind of analogy, but is this really appropriate for an interview that Everyone is watching? I'm not trying to be Pollyanish about this and I know he's a real competitor and he's upset, but please, have some class Kobe!
