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)

Ray Allen
My observation saw Ray's looks off more one-on-one misdirection to get open vs. the team setting multiple double and staggered screens. Pierce and Ray's shot were short, flat almost; but Game 4 & 5 better be different for the Green.

162-0: IMAGINE A RED SOX PERFECT SEASON
By Mark Cofman/Foreword by Tony Massarotti
Even the greatest baseball teams lose 30 percent or more of their games each season. The Boston Red Sox have put together some very impressive regular season records in recent history, including their World Series championship teams in 2004 and 2007; however, they never won more than 65.3% percent of their games during those two years.
But imagine, Boston fans, a year in which the Red Sox never lose a single game. An undefeated regular season including a season-long sweep of the dreaded Yankees…perfection at its greatest! Author and Boston journalist Mark Cofman envisions just that in his new book 162-0: Imagine a Red Sox Perfect Season
Complete with a foreword from Boston Globe writer Tony Massarotti, Cofman chronicles the most memorable victories on each and every single day of the baseball calendar season, including:
¨ The first ever game at Fenway – a win against New York – on April 20, 1912
¨ Roger Clemens striking out a record 20 Mariners on April 29, 1986
¨ Cy Young chalking up the only perfect game in Red Sox history on May 5, 1904
¨ Cancer survivor Jon Lester’s no-hitter against the Royals on May 19, 2008
¨ Ted Williams home run in his career finale on September 28, 1960
¨ Carl Yastrzemski winning the AL Triple Crown on October 1, 1967
Ranging from games with incredible historical significance to great individual Red Sox achievements, 162-0: Imagine a Red Sox Perfect Season is a classic must-have for Sox fans that reflects back on the greatest moments in Boston Red Sox lore and ponders the impossible…a perfect season both at Fenway Park and on the road.
