Okay, Lakers' fans and bloggers (particularly C Strickland), the Lakers and Kobe should be worried because even if you do make the Finals, which the entire city of Boston thinks is a big if, (Denver/Houston/Portland would all give you a run), Cleveland is not your only issue.
The Celtics are doing exactly what they did last year and as you say, even you saw the utter demolition of LA last year. It could happen again and by another team; that's why sports rule...because you never know. And I'm not saying the Cs are on top of their game yet, but this is all what happened last year and history does have a way of repeating itself. Last year everyone said we would sweep the Atlanta Hawks; they took us 7. Then they said the Cs would sweep Cleveland, took us 7. And when everyone said it would go 7 against Detroit and LA, it was only 6 for the Pistons and LA!!! So even with no KG (who everyone thinks we don't have a chance to see play -- but as we have seen, "everyone" isn't always right), it's pretty clear, in my mind at least, that Cleveland's not the only team to worry about. LA, you have a lot to worry about!!!
Back to Celtics' Nation, game 5, in a now best of 3 series begins tonight at the Garden at 7:00 on TNT. The Cs need this one. I believe this is the biggest game of this series and Vegas gave the Cs a 7.5 point spread which are a lot of points in what should be a tough fought battle of Warriors!!! And it's always good when you have Vegas on you side -- they were right about Sunday's game. So hopefully the C's come out with that fire and determination like they did in game 3 which in that case then, I believe they can take anyone. So throw your green on or Celts' jersey and let's kick some butt....
