NBA Finals Game 2 Live Blog (6/8/08)

[edit] Game 2: Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics

[edit] BB15 Keys to the Game:

LA- The Lakers absolutley need production from their big men Lamar Odom, and Pau Gasol. It wouldn't hurt if their rather weak bench helped out a little too. One man can't do it all.

BOS- Garnett needs to have a big game, like game 1, due to injuries to two starters (Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo). Even though Pierce says he'll be just fine. I think Ray Allen needs to make a statement, and breakout big tonight.

Note: Feel free to add comments on any other sporting event going on tonight (CWS, Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN, etc.).

[edit] Final Score

My Prediction: Injuries catch up to Boston, LA ties series at one a piece. Kobe leads the Lakers to a 10-point victory as they head off to LA.

Defense wins championships. The key matchup was the crisp Triangle O by the Lakers vs the hard-nosed D by Boston. Defense is winning by a landslide. The Lakers bench has been ineffective and expect to see Leon Powe more in this series, let alone the 2nd half of this game.

When the triangle offense is off course, so is Lamar Odom. When it's on and popping, Lamar is a huge key. If Odom is working to find his own shot, it's a good sign for the defense.

And Boston will go 2-0 albeit a huge scare was put into them. But the Lakers forgot there was an MVP on their team and they are now down 2-0. Although I'm sure Doc will light their a## up in that lockerroom when he gets there. He was talking with Sam I Am going into the lockerroom and he looks pissed. But the Celtics held serve at home and are now 2 games away from the NBA title and that is the bigger picture.
