Kobe and Pau gave me confidence with their Post game comments. They know we need both these home games. Lakers are 9-0 at home this post season. Boston will come out much more energetic and we'll have to meet or beat their physical intensity. Ron will be ready. Lamar should have a better game.

white ugly soft jerseys  if we win this one i'd be absolutely extatic! we just can't go down lets say 10-15, if we play from behind to this team we will lose!!! we must play high iq b-ball like game 1, well except Lamar but yeah, he redemded himself with some really good plays so i forgive him.
man o man i can almost taste it...if we go up 2-0 OMFG. but if we lose then we have a big big problem, hope for the best!

Play hard and aggressive. Limit turnovers. Defense and Rebounding win Championships. Go Lakers!

1) Same defense & intensity & aggressiveness
2) Paging Lamar Odom
3) Great start in the first quarter is critical, like in Game 1
4) Improve execution: keep turnovers down, finish around the basket
5) Do not fall in love with the 3, limit three point shooting to 10-15 attempts at most
6) Battle for offensive boards & putbacks

This may sound crazy but I honestly feel Phoenix prepared us for this series. I think the zone defense that Phoneix used on us is helping us to be more patient in our offensive sets. Also I think our conditioning level is at a season high right now thanks to the run and gun up tempo series with Phoenix. Our 2nd unit of Lamar, Farmar and Brown is our energy and speed unit. I think this unit will put the Celtics on there heels in this series. I like our chemistry right now...

Yep. Lakers got their 3pt shooting urges out of the way and are playing much smarter now. Game 5 was a turning point for Lakers and for Artest.

it wouldn't be a bad thing if we actually really limit our 3's and DRIVE TO THE BASKET, we could put them in foul trouble, expecially on Allen again, please, do not brick 3's, game 1 for me was almsot perfect! not too much, not too many, that two Ron 3's were just an epic win!

Couldn't believe my eyes seeing Farmar and Shannon attacking the basket relentlessly.

Phil needs to monitor the starters minutes in this game because they have to fly cross country on only 1 days rest and play Tuesday night in Boston. Our bench really needs to come up big in this game...

Boston has ever worse problems there. Their starters ran out of gas vs. Orlando. One day in between greatly diminishes the Celtics given their collective age. Their best shot was winning Game 1, in my opinion this series is over, it's just a matter in how many games.

Yep.
Before the series started, I said that the celtics will have the most fire in games 1 and 2. They are pent up in Los Angeles and they know they need one of the first two games. As the series goes on, they are just going to run on fumes, and that's not a good thing going in to their home court, which they haven't performed well on. Games 1 and 2 are kind of the same to me. The Lakers need the 2-0 lead to really break their backs and put the pressure on. If their best work comes on the road and they don't come back with at least a split... I just think it will be too much.

We have won 37 of 40 at home playoffs + regular season combined in the past three years I believe.

I love the Sunday whites, best looking uniform in the NBA in my opinion. That purple and gold trim just off-sets the white perfectly.
And as y'all know, the Lakers are indestructible in their Sunday Whites.

yup. we need a commanding lead against these douchebags. No way I'll start celebrating despite phils insane record after game 1. And we sure as hell won't choke it away ala 2006 mavericks.
