Espn analysts are all for the lakers in the finals and are simply speculating on which team from the east would give them a tougher matchup. The celtics matchup with them extremely well except for the Kobe/Ray matchup. I think Perk will be able to outrebound Gasol and defend him well. Gasol has absolutely no athleticism and Perk has been matching up with taller players throughout the playoffs. Odom will get some boards but offensively he has not been that big of a factor. Their Euro players have played all right, nothing too special. Rondo should be used to playing against bigger guards and Fisher has not put up big numbers this postseason. I think im more worried about the Celts being outcoached by Phil then anything else. If we are able to shut down Kobe to some extent, I like our chances.
