The biggest game of the year for the Celtics, win and its all academic. I believe the Lakers will put Bryant on Pierce, otherwise Pierce will continue to eat them alive (MVP). Which of course, leaves 'someone' on the Lakers to guard Allan. Again, the keys to this game will be rebounding and fouls. The Lakers will get a boost from the officials in regards to fouls, tho, the Lakers are still going to have to stop the Celtics from scoring. If Odom gets in early foul trouble, again, they will be in big trouble as he has been a non-factor in the series. The other key will be how effective Powe will be with the spotlight shining on him and in front of his family and friends. Will Rajon outplay Fisher at the Staple Center? What cannot happen, is for the Lakers to go on a run and get a huge lead. If the Celtics can stay in the game and continue to play solid defense we might see Phil's head explode.
