Celtics vs Lakers
The match-up that everyone's been waiting for since 87'. Kobe vs Allen/Pierce. Garnett vs Odom/Gasol. Celtics vs Lakers.
This is going be an amazing series to watch. When Allen was with the Sonics, Kobe seemed to always bring out the best in Allen when the Sonics and Lakers played each other. Allen seems to have finally found his stroke and Pierce seems to be getting his rhythm back.
Celtics won't be able to contain Kobe, but they'll be able to contain the role players with their defense. Question is, Kobe can guard either Allen or Pierce, but who guards the other?
I don't think this Lakers (Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, and who?) team even comes close to matching the talent level of 87' Lakers (Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Green, Cooper, Scott, to name a few).
Expect this to go seven games as the Celtics add another Larry O'Brien Trophy to their trophy case.
