Wow
Doc said it in the post-game press conference. LA cannot play championship-caliber defense.

I'd like to thank Sasha Vujacic for letting Ray Allen stroll to the hoop
In the replay, saha is clearly looking for help, but in the the post-game interview, Jackson says he told the team to NOT leave their man.

The best quote the commentators made during game 5 was this: (paraphrased, may not be exact) "You can the difference in these teams by their bench. One never sits down and the other rarely stands up."

It was a coaching mismatch
Yean, the Zen Master has the rings, but coaches get old just like players get old.
The Celtics dominated the first 3 minutes of every 3rd quarter. That's coaching. At the end of Game 4, with a chance to still salvage the game with 15.7 on the clock, the Lakers call timeout AFTER inbounding the ball, forcing them to call their last timeout to advance the ball. A well coached team keeps its head in the game through adversity. In Game 4, Doc makes an adjustment and Jackson cannot make a counter adjustment. Either Jackson was outcoached or the Lakers were lucky to get as far as they did in the playoffs. Guys on the Celtics bench who had not played were ready to play when called on. The professionalism and preparation of 7-12 on the Celtics was, shall we say, Patriot-like? One great result. We can put to bed the "Kobe is as good as Michael" crap. Not even close. They're Baaaaaack. The big three gave a couple of more years left, and Rondo and Perkins will be the nucleus after that. Now if we could only figure out how to breathe some life into the Bruins.    Game 3 not withstanding, Sasha Vujacic is a jopke. I doubt he makes 12th man on the Cavs let alone the Pistons.
