The Lakers may be the softest team we have faced the entire playoffs.
Garnette, Powe, Big Baby, KP 43, and PJ Brown are too physical for the Lakers (What is that slogan JRock use to say, To big, too strong, too physical.......).
Gasol in the fourth quarter was too tired to put his hands above his head for a rebound (it is too physical for that boy).
Kobe scoring will not win the championship for the Lakers. Kobe causes damage with his assist. The Celts are determined to make Kobe take a tuff shot and keep his assists below 10 if so, we win.
Garnette shooting the medium range jumper is a bonus for two reasons, number 1, he can make the shot and number 2, it leaves Gasol or Odom alone under the basket with KP 43 (Rebound KP 43).
Besides Kobe, who on the Lakers team can create their own shot. In the 4th quarter watch the Lakers become a jump shooting team.
Pierce and Kobe will cancel each other out in scoring and assist. Who will win the scoring batte between Garnette/Allen vs. Gasol and Odom?
I could go on but........you get the picture (Boston 4-2)
PS: If you want to stop the Celtics, you have to stop Rondo. Rondo is breaking your defense down and creating space for the rest of the team to operate.
Another PS: Don't be surprised to see Rondo dunk on somebody and Eddie House and Leon Powe have a big game (ya better stop trapping Pierce)
Good post. You called it. Powe is just doing a job on the Celtics. You have to root for a cat like that. I just realized the Celtics have no white boys at all. Unless you count Scalabrine on the bench in his civilian clothes...
