After watching Game 2 of the NBA Finals, I am encouraged. With the Celtics two best players on the floor and down 20 points, the Lakers got as close as two. With the next three in LA, I am confident that this series will return to boston for a game 6. Am I the only one that finds the fact that the Lakers rallied back with the opposing teams two best players on the floor. The Lakers really need to play better defense because they allowed a reserve like Leon Powe (no disrespect... but he is no KG) to score 21 points in 15 minutes off the bench. On one play, Powe went coast to coast and the Lakers didnt even move. Still this series is not over and anyone calling for a sweep is an idiot. The Lakers are unbeaten at home and they showed signs that they can beat the celtics in Boston. Still, history is against the Lakers because only three teams have come back from 0-2 to win the NBA Title, the last one being the Heat in 2006. Laker fans should be encouraged even though the Lakers lost twice in Boston. The next three are in LA. We will see what happens.
