interesting game from an emotions standpoint
Lakers are kind of coasting and distracted by blockbuster trade rumors but will likely feel motivated to get back at the C's and prove that they are still contenders
Celtics are very short-handed, distracted by Ray's record, and perhaps feeling like they've already proven their point in L.A. - not saying they don't want to beat LA every time, but I wonder if they'll have that extra push when they need it most
and matchup-wise, I'm worried about the paint tonight
all that said, I wouldn't be surprised with a win or a loss tonight - should be a good game
