The Celtics are in a really good place right now being up 3 to 1 on Orlando. They hope to win in Orlando, but do have another home game if they need it.
All 5 starters are really playing well right now. The Lakers look to be the odds on favorite to play in the final. They don't have anyone that can stop Rojan Rondo. They couldn't stop Russell Westbrook, they won't stop Rondo. Paul Pierce is peaking at the right time and is scoring in more ways than one. Ray Allen is starting to the shoot the ball really well. Then, you have Kevin Garnett anchoring the defense, and when needed, he can score. Big man Kendrick Perkins can bang with the big boys.
What is really coming together is the bench. Rasheed Wallace is gaining his stroke. He and Glen 'Baby' Davis are a tough duo off the bench to compete with. Davis is a hungry warrior. Also playing well off the bench is Tony Allen. Allen slowed LeBron down as much as one can in the previous series. Michael Finley is ready and can be counted on at any time. But, what I liked in the loss the other night is that Nate Robinson got some time. That may or may not be needed in the future, but it didn't hurt.
Orlando played good last night, but the Celtics are really coming together. This is going to be excitng!!!
