But, the Celtics have a lot of things going for them.
First the matchups. The Lakers have caused problems with how big they can get. They start 2 7 footers and that isn't going to be a problem for the Celtics. Perkins can guard Bynum and Bynum's mobility is really limited. Garnett can guard Gasol. The Celtics can bring in Odom, which normally causes matchup problems for their opponents, but Garnett can guard him too. Big Baby Davis is a high energy player that can compete with anyone inside. Normally I'd say this is a draw, but with Bynum being hurt, the advantage goes to Boston.
