Ray Allen probably had the game of his life in game 3, while Kobe's game didn't get going due to foul woes. What's actually scary about the Celts right now is that Paul Pierce has been quiet and KG still hasn't showed up. Eventually, I think those two will start playing and having three (or four, including Rajon Rondo) superstars click can spell some doom to the Lakers.
For LA, the bench plus everyone else (other than Kobe, Pau and Bynum) should start playing. On the defensive end, they need more effort in fighting off those screens to stay close to Boston's shooters (a.k.a Ray Allen). As long as they can control the pace of the game, they'll be fine. For sure Kobe will come out playing better in game 3. Still, they have to attack Boston's big men because that's LA's advantage.
At this point though, I think it's a battle of the coaches now. Who makes the better adjustments heading into Game 3 and during the game.
Well, as I said, for the Lakers to win everyone outside Kobe, Pau and Bynum should contribute, Fish did! Lakers now are two games away from the back-to-back. Lakers 2 - Celtics 1.
