In my opinion:
The loss of Perk may become a blessing in disguise. If Sheed plays great post defense, the C's should/could be okay. Both Sheed and Baby can hit a jumper; i.e., extend the defense, therefore opening the lane for Rondo to get to the rim.
*Rondo needs to understand being fouled by one of LA's bigs is just as important as making the free throws in this Game 7.
Sheed's stated he'll emerge in the playoffs. Has there ever been a bigger game for "GuaranSheed"?
Pierce and KG will be All Stars. Ray Ray will if the refs allow him to be ... Referee calls will play a huge role; as the key to the C's defense vs. the Lakers bigs will be understand the difference between tough and physical, hustle, "wile-veteranism" and looking for a call/to make a call.
LA ... Kobe, Fisher, Pau, Artest, Odom ...
Celtics starters must play the game min. they did in high school. Boston's bench not only needs to bring energy but must execute defensively and move the ball on offense. Do not settle for jump shots unless they come out of the offense. Foul the bigs out, double team Kobe; and pray he has an off game.
2010 NBA Finals ... ESPN Classic Series; C's by 5.
(or LA by 15)
