The Los Angles Lakers host the Boston Celtics tonight in yet a rematch for the NBA Championship. Two seasons ago the Celtics led by Paul Pierce (08 Finals MVP) dominated the Lakers in six games for their 17th title in franchise history.
This time around the Lakers are not taking the Celtics lightly. Los Angles has something going for them this time around that they didn’t before. A healthy Andrew Bynum who should provide quality minutes in hopes of slowing down Boston center Kendrick Perkins. Ron Artest has also been added to the mix for the Lakers as they will need him to come up with big stops on the defensive side of the floor.
If the Celtics keep receiving timely production off the bench from Rasheed Wallace, Nate Robinson, Glen Davis, and Tony Allen they could easily win this series.
The Lakers will have to rely on Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol as their bench isn’t as deep as their opponents.
Prediction: Boston in 6
