Okay die-hards, I know the Celtics just need to win one more, and get that chance at home. But I hope everyone to know, let's not rely on the home court advantage, let's not rely on the fact that no team ever came back from 1-3 in the finals. Let's not think if Game3-5 were the best Lakers can play, we will get #17 easily. True maybe those games were the best Lakers can play, but if the Celtics don't come out wanting the game as much as the Lakers and not playing our best, then it won't be so easy to get a win-because the lakers have to win or go home and our half-good game won't beat their best game.
So let's hope the Celtics come out game 6 with a fierce competitiveness and bring our A game.
With that said, I think the key would be to establish KG early and get him going and dominating. As well as the team playing superb, sufficating defence.

Any other thoughts?
Anything is possible!!!

Rondo should not start at the point.

1) They need Perkins back

2) They need to establish KG down low

3) Re-establish the inside dominance. 

4) Let Ray Allen abuse Fisher.  Force Kobe off Rondo.

I realize Doc decided he *needed* the small lineup because Gasol went over Powe once and Perkins was injured, but this seems like a classic case of a good decision in one game (going with the small lineup in Game 4) becoming something risky in another game.  3 of your 4 points involve, in one way or another, inside presence. 

You can't establish that with Posey at the 4.  Ever.  Now there might be reasons you want Posey at the 4.  But presuming Perkins is not back for Game 6, we should get used to the Celtics get out-muscled by the Lakers since Doc didn't seem to want to play Powe or Davis or even Brown alongside KG (or the Powe/Brown combination he used in other games in the finals).

The Celtics could still obviously win.  But it won't be by being more physcial than the Lakers unless Doc updates a bit. .  .
