if Bynum goes down, our chances will get higher, Perk plays more physical D on Gasol and will force Gaosl away from his comfort zone, relying on jumpers...as Doc says, Kobe cannot be stopped, he will score 25+, we will make him work and try to keep his teammate in check...if that happens plus our big 4 plays like the big 4 with our bench, we might be able to take this in 7
Game 1 he was out for most part due to foul trouble making it a lot harder to get the rhythm going. game 3 is the game in question so bring that up here isn't going to solve anything. game 4 he may have not bounced back shooting wise either but he didn't miss 13 total, and KG, Pierce, Nate and Davis all stepped up their game making the win possible. Not so in Game 3, Allen took those open look shots and missed, it's bad, could have thrown the extra pass inside but what's done is done... Game 5, expect allen to step up his game, with 2 full days of pure "rest" he will be stellar (not counting game day) as will Pierce, and KG. With Rondo leading the charge.
nooooo. the lakers WILL take game 6. game 7 will be one heck of a game. i'm still gonna say lakers are gonna take it all the way!
its not over yet, 3-2, last year Orlando won when we were up 3-2..won 2 straight. We cannot let our guards down especially because this is LA....itll be nice that the Celtics can close out in game 6, but its going to be hard
so is artest... instead of fouling rondo and sending a notoriously poor FT shooting guard to the line, he gave him an open lay up AND he missed 2 critical free throws of his own...
he couldnt foul him because he didn't stick to him and rondo ran it to half court and passed it...... those free throws has no excuse... critical.
wonder if artest will be even starting in game 6, he was a joke. since they will be playing LA, it's going to be tough. It might just go to game 7.
If LA won Game 5, then LA is going to take the champion ship since next two game they have home court. But since Celtics won Game 5, Celtics have a chance of losing 2 straight since it's away game. This will be interesting to watch. Also, NBA.com still calls it Big 3. I think should be Big 4. Plus, i still dont know which team i'm cheering for. But i'm kind of more to the Celtics side. I don't care if LA or Boston takes the championship though. Not a hard-core Celtics fan that shouts "Beat LA". Don't really get all mad because LA beat Boston or Boston beat LA. I just watch it for the exitement!
to be honest, ill still start ron artest...hes one of the best defenders out there...starting odom over artest isnt going to do much...both can't really guard pierce. As a Celtic fan, ive seen what artest can do to pierce, he might not be able to guard pierce offensively, but he can definitely deny him the ball.
