Almost forgot, TAKE THAT SASHA! I was talking more about the way they stopped trying with a minute left in game 6. Casually bringing the ball up court, not making an effort to trap and create turnovers, or anything else. Phoenix was still trying until the end. Unlike the Cavs though, they had to deal with a guy named Kobe. I have a ton of respect for the way Phoenix played this entire post season. They seemed like a more complete team than the past versions who were happy to try and out score their opponent 130-129. | ||

Fisher is capable of chasing Ray around, particularly in fighting through all the screen action that Boston likes to run for him. He'll get beat from time to time because Ray is still faster and more athletic, but he should do a good enough job of chasing him off the 3pt line at least. I really like Artest guarding Pierce. Back in his Pacers days, Artest used to shut Pierce down like no one else. It was to the point that you'd sit Pierce if you owned him in fantasy basketball whenever he faced IND. Pierce isn't very quick and uses his craftiness and physicality to score, which I think Artest can deal with very well. On the flipside, Pierce can probably guard Artest about as well as any SF can with the similar amount of speed, size and strength. However, if both end up shutting each other down, the Lakers win because BOS relies heavily on Pierce's ability to score. The battle in the paint will be interesting as KG and Pau are both some of the most versatile bigs in the league. Pau has some size on KG and KG has slowed, but KG is a much better defender and is still quicker and more athletic. Should be interesting to see how it goes, particularly since I think Pau has gotten tougher since two years ago and will be more ready for the physicality. If Bynum were healthy, I'd give him a definite edge over Perkins, but with his injury the Lakers should just hope that he can match Perkins. Both are only expected to defend, rebound, and convert easy baskets that their teammates set them up for. One thing that may be interesting is to see how well Tony Allen takes the role that Posey did two years ago in being the primary defender on Kobe when they need to slow him down. I remember him doing well in the regular season, but the playoffs are a different beast, particularly Kobe in the playoffs. Boston will again have to rely on some really good team defense because I don't think either of the Allens are good enough defenders to defend Kobe well. Kobe will be more ready for Boston's defense this time around, and has become more trusting of his teammates. We'll see if he's able to effectively draw double teams and find open teammates like he has been during this postseason. | ||

No. I remember the Lakers did a pretty good job on him for the most part. But it should be noted that Rondo has improved a LOT since two seasons ago, so you can't really rely on that series. | ||

But that's why I love him so much | ||
