Don't be fooled. The Ponzi scheme will be exposed. KG talks the talk, but this time Pau gets his full attention. He may get on the plane back to Beantown on all fours, flummoxed, realizing that he needs to learn a little Spanish with a Castillean accent when four letter epithets don't work. Perk's going to find that Andrew is suddenly all grown up the hard way. Pierce will lose to the Laker changes of pace like a wounded wrestler in a tag team match. Luke, VladRad, and Trevor will dance in his head-before Kobe puts him away. Rondo comes in as Bob Cousy, but will return home as Blue Rondo a la Turk, trapped and frazzled. Ray Allen's shooting slump of last year will start up today. Sasha may give him some three point surprises. Their bench has gotten shorter, with their former 6th man Poseying for a team that the Lakers dominated a few days ago. The Lakers new 6th man should Lamar their rotations a bit at both ends of the court--and the transitions in between. I won't be surprised by the opening of my Christmas present one bit this year. Santa knows his stuff. The Lakers will help both Leprechauns and Celtic fans acquire something that they badly need: humility.

C's, are more like the wookies or the other little tree-house gremlin-like creatures, those with interesting gadgets like the wheelchair... oops. Anyway, regardless of the outcome, having an intense regular season game is a blessing to all involved. It's going to be fun.

There's 28 other teams in the NBA who wish they could have the type of storied history that the Celtics and Lakers possess. I'm sure there's fans of neither team who'd agree that you could share that title. Stephen,

You can see the same theme played out in the comments section of celticsblog - according to them it's all said and done and the only question is how much they will win by. On a side note, one of my first comments on this blog came a few days ago and centered on Kobe's lack of leadership skills. Since then he has called a players only meeting and the teams effort was much better as a result. I hope he continues to prove me wrong and maintains this throughout the year. Garnett's getting a lump of coal in his stocking this christmas. Robinred I noticed the difference in tone too.

Do you really see Gasol outplaying KG? Odom on the other hand is a wild card, I can see him performing well. Just curious but when has Bynum been a scoring machine this year?

This blog has to be one of the best out here, no doubt about it. Recognize the joy of life and the preciousness of existence, everyday is valuable.

I work with three transplanted Celtics fans, and two of them are more or less like Clark was there--the other one is cool. As to the game, I will be looking at how they match up and what they try to do with Pierce and Rondo in particular. I hope to see some zone, and I want to see Odom and Ariza on Pierce and Bryant on Rondo. And, like everyone else, I will be looking at intensity and effort. Back to the famliy and holidays and best to all. Kurt’s tone in the exchange juxtaposed against Jeff Clark’s is something worth noting.
