After game 1, I have to give the series to LA. kobe played shoddily, yet the Lakers were in it until the end. The one thing that might save the Celtics is they're ridiculous rebounding advantage. However I imagine that the Triangle will help overcome that advantage, and as for Boston's D, I just don't think Doc Rivers will put the right personnel on the floor.
All that said, what a hell of a game. The crowd absolutely took the game to another level, I thought they were going to blow the roof off the stadium after Pierce came back. It was just amazing to hear this whisper start, then swell to a roar after he came out of the tunnel. You lakers fans have a tough act to follow!
