I think the Celtics in 7, but it may end in 6. In order for the Lakers to win (If I'm Doc Rivers) Kobe would have to average 45 points a game. He's capable of doing that, but it would be because he has to put up a bunch of shots.
If I'm coaching, I tell my guy to make him put it on the floor and force him to have to finish and not kick it out. Stay on the perimeter shooters and box out Gasol and Odom... make Kobe the old Kobe. Might as well make him work to get his cuz you really can't stop him...too much individual talent. But don't leave those guys like Fisher and Vujavic and Radmonovich open for those killer threes.
Garnett should own Gasol and Odom... Paul Pierce will dominate anyone other than Kobe and Ray Allen is too good for either of the Euro's or Walton to guard.
Only your first 2 comparisons are valid.... Can't really compare Pierce to Parker because Fisher or Farmar could guard Parker, neither will guard Pierce.Look at it like this.
Duncan vs. Garnett... Duncan is better and Gasol gave him fits...
Ray Allen vs. Ginobli....Ginobli is better and he got shut down
Paul peirce vs Tony Parker. Paul is a better offensive player they are even based on scoring. I mean Tony Parker can take over at times and has the best finish in the league as a PG.
Bowens vs Posey.. Bowens plays better defense
So we have faced a team similar to Boston. That team simply played face up defense with little fouls.
Lakers in 5..

And Posey isn't even a starter.
I would think that Boston would start with Perkins on Gasol. KG matches up better with Odom. And even if Perkins has to foul Gasol, they have Powe/Davis/Brown to eat up minutes too.My point is that the Spurs are a three headed monster too. Actually parker has the ball more than Paul so he affects the speed and tempo of the games more than peirce. Peirce is also foul prown.
If you can coach you should keep lamar on the wing so that whomever gaurds him has to come out from under the goal. You keep pau at the top of the key away from the goal. He can get by Garnett. That frees up Kobe to get to the hole. We didn't have that in the first two games. Bynum had to play closer to the goal. Rhondo will hurt them more than anything. We don't have to respect his game and we can put sasha young arse on Cassell.
My point with Posey is he is a good defender and he comes in during crucial times and can make big shots plus he has championship experience.
Looks like the Lakers don't have any answer for the big 3. Kobe only had 24 pts so the Greater than MJ b.s. Should stop now.....
