Thursday's Big 5- May 17th

1. LAKERS BLOW IT....Well, in a nutshell, that's pretty much what happened in Game 2 of the Western Conference semfinals. Up 75-68 with 2:09 remaining, the Lakers allowed Oklahoma City to go on a 9-0 run, losing to the Thunder, 77-75, and falling behind 2-games-to-none in the series....The box score for the Lakers in the final two minutes read: Kobe Bryant bad pass, Steve Blake bad pass, Kobe Bryant jumper blocked, Kobe Bryant misses three, Steve Blake misses three.....Wait a sec? Final possession, down one, and Steve Blake is taking the shot?? (who passed it to him, LeBron??)

2. CELTICS BLOW 'EM OUT.....In a nutshell, that's pretty much what happened in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semfinals....Boston got 27 points from Kevin Garnett, 24 from Paul Pierce and 23 from Rajon Rondo to run away from Philadelphia, 107-91, and take a 2-1 series lead.....The Celtics shot 52% from the floor and scored more points (89) in the first three quarters than they did in their Game 2 loss (81).....

3. EIGHT WOULD BE GREAT....And don't be surprsied if the red-hot LA Kings get their eighth consecutive victory tonight when they host Phoenix in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.....LA ousted Vancouver in five, swept St. Louis in four and took the first two games of this series in the desert.....Win tonight and the Kings are a game away from their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 19 years.....In the East, New Jersey won on the road (go figure, a road team winning -- hmmm), taking down the New York Rangers, 3-2, at Madison Square Garden to tie its series at one game apiece.....

4. THREE WOULD BE NICE....That's what the Padres will go for tonight against the Dodgers -- a third-consecutive victory for the first time this season....Led by Chase Headley's 3 RBI's, the Friars took the first of a quick two-game set against LA, 4-2, on Wednesday afternoon....Don't look now, but the victory pulled the Pads within just two games of third place in the NL West.....(Hey....it's something.....)

5. RELAX, PLAY A LITTLE GOLF....That's all Drew Brees really needs to do, and so he shall as the Brees Celebrity Golf Classic gets underway this weekend here at La Costa....Brees, in the meantime, says his contract negotiations with the New Orleans Saints have become "extremely frustrating."....The Saints placed the exclusive rights franchise tag on Brees in March and the sides have until July 16 to hammer out a long-term extension.....The contract talks have loomed all offseason, but have taken on even greater significance in the light of the NFL's bounty investigation which cost the Saints draft picks, thousands of dollars in fines and got several coaches and players suspended, including head coach Sean Payton's yearlong ban......Brees said yesterday during an interview with a New Orleans radio station that he doesn't know why the sides haven't been able to work out a deal yet.
