I will say this though, I think the Lakers defense is being overlooked do to the fact the suns torched it consistently. The Celtics do not have nearly the perimeter shooting the Suns have to stretch their defense. Kobe,Fish and especially Artest can De with the best of em. IMHO I believe the Zenmaster had this mathup (or the Cavs) in mind when they brought in RonRon. He will be a very tough defender on Pierce and he will keep Pierce away from the basket when he defends Ronny. The big 3 (rondo not KG) will be defended by the best 3 Laker defenders, who all are capable of handling swithes to boot, thanks to Allens small size at sg. I also think Kobe will get his fair share of defending Rondo. They should also be guarding him tighter to block passing lanes, unlike Orlando and Cleve, who frankly didn't defend much at all. Both teams will see their best defensive opponent's by far. The Celts are good and have a punchers chance, but if KG pulls one of his karate chops or elbows and gets thrown out, which is just waiting to happen, that would kill them. I think Zenman has been waiting for this for a long time and gets sweet revenge in 6. Just one man's opinion. Good day San Diego!
