    The problem for C's backers is that there are  just to many question marks for them to cover IMO.  If Odem or the bench plays well than this game is a blowout and they have no chance.  Bench players play much better at home and add the fact Kobe looks like he's on a mission and playing in the flow of the game and not forcing anything.  The length and bigs of the LAL are just to much for them.  This isn't a running series so Bynam can play 30 minutes a night, be effective and their just clogging the middle to much.  Rondo makes the offense go and he can't get to the middle to force the action and you see a lot of standing.  One team is taking 19 ft jumpers and another is getting shots inside 8 feet for the most part.  Sorry C's backers but I don't think this game will be close and think what we saw in game 1 won't change much.  I'm not sure what kind of adjustments you can make when the other teams bigs are just more talented and longer than yours.  I thought Garnett was the key for the C's coming into the series and he looks like he lost 2 steps, nothing more than a jump shooter and not even close to a difference maker on D.  LAL wins this rather easy.  GL and that's all folks.

    I dont mind backing them in Boston, but after seeing their display in game 1, I dont see what changes in game 2. I know the Celtics play great ball on the road, but unless they improve dramatically on the road for game 2, they could be looking at down 3-2 going back to LA & maybe they like to have their backs up against the wall, I know I wouldnt against a revengeful minded Lakers team.

    Great point about the Lakers but I think C's is playing dead and then they will get you back when you least expected. 

    Hopefully is not tonight because I have a strong lean on the Lakeshow too...

    What changes ??? Aggressiveness !!!!!

    The Celtics clearly without question lack aggressiveness in game 1.

    Let's look at 2 plays that speak volumes !!!

    In the Magic series when Rondo ran down Jason Williams and jumped to ther floor to secure a loose ball that Williams clearly should of had and then attacks the basket for a easy score.

    In game 1, Celtics inbound the ball to Rondo who's not paying attention and the Laker player attacks Rondo and steals the ball.

    Aggressiveness !!!  Celtics bring a different game tonight !!!

    Let's look at 2 plays that speak volumes !!!

    In the Magic series when Rondo ran down Jason Williams and jumped to ther floor to secure a loose ball that Williams clearly should of had and then attacks the basket for a easy score.

    In game 1, Celtics inbound the ball to Rondo who's not paying attention and the Laker player attacks Rondo and steals the ball.

    Aggressiveness !!!  Celtics bring a different game tonight !!!

    The Celtics clearly without question lack aggressiveness in game 1.

    I was thinking the same thing about the side but there was just a little hestancy so I will wait til halftime to see if anything is worth dabbling into as far as the side goes.

    Went UNDER 193 for the game though.
