NBA Finals - Celtics vs. Lakers

The Lakers are not dead by any means OC...

I know it was a knee jerk reaction from only one game, but Kobe didn't play great, and really no one on the team did...I still think the series will go 7...

The thing that kills the Lakers is just having to double 2 guys...I mentioned it from the start and I really didn't think that they were going to have to double both of them, but they did, and the Celtics pass the ball and find the open man so well, that it is tough to do that against them...

I think the Lakers need to play ahead in the series...What I mean is that if they are ahead they aren't needing Vujacic offense as much and they can stick with a guy like Walton who I think is the best defensive option against Allen outside of Kobe, and then Kobe can manup on Pierce...Playing Vujacic alot last night let Allen get some easy looks, and create for other guys off the dribble which is not something he is great at...

The Lakers can also present mismatches as well, but they usually get them open jumpers, and last night they weren't knocking them down...

I also think Kobe needs to try and take the game over earlier...
