Celtics Big 3 Reminisce Over 2010 Finals, Free Agency

The Lakers lack the cohesion of a team that the Celtics have - from running their offense, to getting amazing defensive plays, the Celtics have continually hurt the Lakers with the intagibles: heart and desire (Eye of the Tiger). Winning 2 in a row generally spells doom for the other team, but can the Celtics put it together to get a win at Staples?

The biggest issue I see is passion and desire. The Celtics have a lot more of it than the Lakers - and with the refs keeping everybody off balance, those intamgibles will be crucial. Bynum may not play and will certainly not be at full strength if he does, so the Lakers will need a supreme effort 1-12 to steal Game 5 from Boston.

They key to this series rests on who is going to be tougher, who is going to get down and dirty, and who's willing to do whatever it takes to win. For even more basketball, visit us at: BBALLBREAKDOWN.COM

Breaking the finals record for 3's in a game, Ray Allen had the eye of the tiger as he took on all comers. No one could slow him down as he shot 8-11 from 3 point range on his way to a 32 point night. For even more basketball: BBALLBREAKDOWN.COM

Here is the first part of our breakdown of Game 2. Some good adjustments, better play all around and Rondo has made his mark early. For even more: http://bballbreakdown.com

Paul Pierce and KG are two more keys to the Celtics attack. We'll show you where they like to get the ball and how they'll hurt the Lakers in the Finals. For more expert analysis and HD breakdowns, visit us at BBALLBREAKDOWN

The role players on the Magic have played poorly from a simple execution stand point. Rashard Lewis is busy playing terrific defense on everyone, so I don't think his low offensive output is a factor. Keep him on KG at all times, get Gortat in there for 25 or 30 minutes, and have Vince Carter outplay Paul Pierce. That's all.
