the lakers have proved more than once, that they can make a come back, as seen last night (alas it was a little too late this time). down 24 points is really awful but to cut that to 2 is remarkable. gotta give credit to the team. after watching the 2 games, what i think is that the celtics have everything going for them, 3-pointers, aggressive play and size of the players. lakers simply can't match them in these departements. on top of that, they let pierce shoot all the 3s he wants. and he does very well there. sasha & vladimir are simply no match there. rebounds - lakers have been awful even when they played the jazz and it does not seem to improve. the lakers' tiny bodies are no match to the celtic's.

only time will tell, if this will be history in the making. down 0-2 to come back to win the title or be wiped out. statistics be damned. we've seen, it does not matter in these games. kobe's helpless. powe comes out of nowhere to score 21 in 15 mins. lakers have a tough road ahead. not impossible but very tough with celtic's home court.
