Perkins out for tomorrow.

Kind of ironic .. 2nd straight year we are in jeopardy of a non championship because of an injured started.

He may be a mess offensively .. but he does a lot of little things well on the defensive end. We really will miss him.

Baby will have to come up BIG ... very hard with his lack of height. Need his heart badly.

Would be an amazing victory if they could pull it out.

However no doubt: Advantage Lakers.

GO CELTICS!!

Still advantage for the lakers but depth is an advantage Boston has over LA. Rasheed and Baby will have to produce and especially stay out of foul trouble. The worst part about losing Perkins is that his absence will disrupt the rotation. Pierce, Allen and KG are more than capable of carrying the Celtics to victory.

Both teams will fight tooth, nail and foreskin. Kobe will get the last shot and Gasol/Artest will not be able to bail him out this time like against the Thunder/Suns. I am predicting a game that will be talked about for generations to come.

Prediction

Boston 108
lakers 106  in Overtime

Lakers  102

2nd Place     86

The over/under is 186. You're going with 214. Trust me, the Vegas bookmakers know just a bit more than you do. The only way Boston would score 108 is if they become the Phoenix Suns tonight, which might be their only chance. With little interior presence, they can only hope to throw 3 pointers up like there is no tomorrow.

size combats superior Laker height, he sets great picks and rebounds and plays great D-The Lakers play exceptionally at home and they have Kobe-I fear Perkins abscence is a death blow to the Celtic hopes and wouldn't be surprised if LA wins by double digits-1rob...looking forward to game time...OUT

i said in overtime. However, in the over/unders, of the 6 games that have been played. Onmy 1 went over and did so by 1 point. They are due for a high scoring game.

I'm still pissed that Bynum was out for the '08 finals.  Go LAKERS!
