What a sweet revenge for the Lakers. They have been very good in the offense starting from the first quarter. KG got two early fouls in the game and pushed Doc Rivers to be seated in the bench together with Kendric Perkins who was not able to play the game because of an injury.

He plays hard against any opponent including with Kevin Garnett.

Celtics Leads the Series 2-0

The Boston Celtics won twice at home on its ongoing series with the LA Lakers. They had a very convincing wins over the Lakers where in game 1 the Celtics won due its defense and exploding three pointers with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. The second game, the Celtics made the Lakers stunned to both offensive and defensive ability to score and stop the other to produce good outputs until the later part of 4th quarter where Kobe and his team shoots 3 pointers and made the lead only to 4 points. But Doc Rivers made the time out to stop the Lakers run.

Paul Pierce was fouled in the final seconds. He made 2 free throw shots to make Boston to have a safe lead for 4 points. Posey was fouled and hit 2/2 of free throw. Lakers did not made their last shot and the Boston Celtics won again at home 108-102 and leads the series 2-0.

Celtics or Lakers?

Who bet? This two magnificent teams standout from the west and the other stands out from the east. Definitely this is a battle between the Celtics which is known from its great defensive plays against their opponents and, the Lakers, on the other hand is known to its offensive plays where they defeat the San Antonio Spurs in 5 games.

Expect the Big 3 will come out and face Kobe and his team in game 1. Whereas, Paul Pierce will be more advantageous among the Big 3 because of the lesser defender Vladimir Radmanovic. Garnett is expected to be guarded by Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol who was recently joined LA just this February of this year. Definitely there will be a tight match up between Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant. According to interview with Rajon Rondo, they won't focus on Kobe alone rather they will face the Lakers as a whole. Focusing on one person like Kobe will hurt them in the process.

Now I'm asking you, which to this 2 is your bet? I'll count myself for the Celtics. How about yours?
