Kontra - I prefer my crow braised, but I'll take it however you want to dish it out.
I didn't see more than a few minutes of the game at a time yesterday, but piecing together what I did see - I would agree that Miami matches up well with LA - and much better than I thought.
Bosh vs. Gasol was the unexpected matchup really - and the biggest.
I'm not sure what happened with Kobe, but I feel like that is less likely to reoccur if they match up in the postseason.
Gasol's disappearance, however, I can see happening again. His postseason dominance last year disguised a player who can get out-physicaled. What he did against KG last Finals was not the KG of 07, and heck, not even the rejuvenated KG of this year.
I was surprised to see how easy Bosh made it look against Gasol yesterday, especially b/c - as you mention yourself - KG has had Bosh's number in their two meetings.
(On a side note: I don't think Rondo was the problem in game 7, FWIW - frankly, I thought he was one of the few that showed up to play that night. Rebounding did them in.)
