Series Facts
1999-2000, 2000-2001. This was the last time we were able to sweep Boston in the season series for consecutive seasons. Well guess what? We have a chance to do it tonight. The Lakers have been on a high lately without Kobe & Bynum & will have to continue to play well without Kobe as he continues to nurse his ailing leg & ankle. The Celtics still enjoy a 151-120 All-Time advantage over the Lakers in head to head match ups.

Keys To Victory
We need strong Front Court play again from Mr. Andrew Bynum, but most importantly Mr. Pau Gasol needs to stand tall when they test him this time (you can bank on it, they will test his toughness again). Our guards need to do a better job containing Rondo this time. He ran wild on us last time & almost single handedly beat us. Don't let any of their bench players become a mad spark off of the bench this time either. Our bench should have no problem stepping up seeing as how well they have played as of late. Last but not least, make the Hinrich deal

Key Match Up
vs
I'm calling this one the key match up alone this time because last outing Ron Ron was so far in this guys head that he was a complete non factor & he seemed to have their entire team intimidated. Do the same thing this time Ron Ron, we need that edge!!











Last but definitely not least, is our HOT Babes of the Game

[The Skyhook]

Possibly the newest Celtics member. I think his ego will fit in with the rest of those Celtics.

Kobe likely out for this, will be good to see what the team can do against this caliber defense without him. I really like what Kobe and Phil had to say about him sitting to. GB who thinks Kobe is this selfish stat whore need to wake up, dude just want to win.

Most likely going to Island's to watch the game tonight. Everytime I go, I always have to ask the waitress to change the channel of the closest TV to watch the Laker game. The funny thing is, every single time I go Kobe hits a game winner and my table is the only one erupting. Gonna be a tough, low scoring game, hopefully Shannon and Farmar step up big time. Gasol needs to man up tonight, no more of this 2008 weak s*** we've been seeing lately. Bynum needs to take it to Perkins, give him a reason to have that pissed off look on his face all the time. IMO, let Rondo have all the shots he wants, he's not carrying this team if we play solid D on the other 4 guys. Looking forward to a good win.

Tell you teacher after class that you had a fantasy about him/her and you can't stop thinking about him/her now. That should get you an A for the class.

ESPN is reporting that Kobe will not play tonight.

[TonyMontana]

Poor Peee peee............... Doesnt he look like he just got shot in the back by a 50 cal rifle.....

Marv Albert "Did anyone see where that shot was fired from? "

[miggs]

I'm so pumped for this, even without Kobe! Hopefully our boys come out and set the tempo early by takin the physical game to them, challenge those shots and crash those boards!!!

Robinson Deal To Boston Now Official

Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry have been dealt to Boston for Eddie House, JR Giddens and Bill Walker, according to Alan Hahn of Newsday.

NBATV reported that the Knicks will also receive a pick.

[ALL HAIL]

Big games from Odom (+14 boards), Brown (+14 points), and Farmar (+10 points) and we should be okay. This is a big game for them though and the Lakers are not going to sneak up on any more teams w/o Kobe. The league and all its' teams realize we are good.

Win or lose, I just want them to not fold under the Celts intensity.

[Crowley]

Dear Lakers,



ps.



sincerely,
Celtics fan

^I love that the Lakers are sooo good that dudes like this take time out of their long day of internet porn watching to put this together.

Funny though.
