As a player or coach? He's been to the Finals once when he played for the Knicks. They lost that one to the Rockets.

Funny that it was the Lakers failure to respond to the C's' big three and the individual and team defense against Kobe that helped the Celtics roll to a 10 point lead. That, and L.A. was out-rebounded 46 to 33, in part because the Celtics have the more aggressive, active and defensively suited bigs.

Here's something that should(n't) surprise folks who didn't simply say "the Celtics went seven games against the Hawks, how do they have a chance against L.A.!!!1!1":

The Lakers points against average for the playoffs was 99.5 points per game. The Celtics points against average for the playoffs was 87.3.

What was the score again?

I was confident the Celtics matched up well against this Lakers team before the Finals started and am pleased that nearly everything I assumed/thought/hoped would work in the Celtics favor actually did (for this one game, at least).

Okay...

I suppose you'd rather I ignore that I was mostly right (for this one game, at least)?

I thought Fisher played very well, tho he did not overshadow Rajon, which he has to do. Perkins was not a huge factor, tho, I look for him to have one big game. All of L.A. perimeter players are dangerous with hitting the three, the problem is that they can not cover the Celtics and will continue to get in foul trouble. Everyone rants about Kobe, and will continue to do so, but how much better is he and the the team around him then Pierce and the team around him. Three games to go.

Do I take the 12-3 playoff team out of the better conference or the 12-8 team that couldn't win in Atlanta? Hmmmm.

Your a freakin' Laker fan. How does someone who roots for the Patriots become a Laker fan?
