I'm pumped for the Celtics-Lakers game tonight. It will be cool. I just have a feeling that a little bit of history will be made. So here is my game preview.
Lakers @Boston
Key Matchup: Lamar Odom vs. Kevin Garnett
{Playoff stats}
Odom: 14.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 37.7 minutes.
Garnett: 21.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.1! blocks, 1.2 steals, 52% FG, 38 minutes.
Odom will be guarding the former MVP, Kevin Garnett tonight, and he will have to defend him hard. KG won Defensive Player of the Year, so we might not see very many passes to Lamar Odom. Look for the Lakers to give it to Pau Gasol, who is defended by Kendrick Perkins {not much of a defensive guy}. KG can score inside very easily, but Odom should look to keep him out of the post so he takes bad turn-around jumpers. Odom is capable of doing that, too and almost all Laker followers know that.
