I don't think we'll see much different from Rondo or Sheed.

I do think there are 2 players on each team that could greatly affect the outcome outside the usual suspects (ie. Kobe, Gasol, Ray ALlen, Pierce, KG).

Big Baby and Nate Robinson for the Celtics.

Lamar Odom and Ron Artest for the Lakers.

Artest's offense early in Game 6 was rather deflating.  We'd come to rely on bricks from him.

Since we're being honest, Big Baby from Game 4 showing up tonight scares the hell out of me.  There's really no Laker defensive answer for BBD on a rampage due to his odd combination of fatness+quickness...almost like a mini-Shaq.

Yes, Baby!  He often comes up big in important games.  I'm hoping this is one of them.
