Not concerned whatsoever about the Lakers.
Last night proved to me that they can be beat. We made mistakes, lost players, had players coming off the flu (Pierce), and LA STILL struggled to put us away.
Last night also proved to me the importance and presence of Shaq. His 7'1" 330 pound frame took up space, grabbed 6 rebs, and blocked 2 shots in the 30Jan game.
The Los Angeles Lakers can (and will) be beat. Just make it through the west, LA - and Boston will do the rest.
