Lakers, Celtics Game 2 Preview

This will be short.

What the Lakers need to do to win:
1) Stay aggressive and not settle for jumpshots.
2) The bench needs to play well as they did last game.
3) Rebound on the offensive and defensive end.

What the Celtics need to do to win:
1) Get more fast break opportunities
2) Defend the paint and grab boards.
3) Hit open 3's

After seeing what the Lakers have done, I fully believe they have the ability to easily win this series. However, the Celtics have more pride than most teams in the league, and they will come back angry. Kevin Garnett, who feels disrespected by Gasol, will play angry and aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are a good number of hard fouls and technicals handed out.

Prediction:
Lakers 98, Celtics 90
Kobe Bryant: 30 points, 10 FT
Rajan Rondo: 20 points, 10 assists
Paul Pierce: 15 points
