Lakers vs. Celtics prediction thread

[Cannon Shell]

I thought the game came down to a few basic things
1. The Celtics kept the Lakers from playing at their pace (the Lakers only had 5 points off of turnovers)
2. The Lakers simply dont rebound very well and the refs were consistent in letting the play be a little physical under the boards which was key as the shooting %'s were so poor. Physical play absolutely favors Boston. When the game is fairly close and one team gets outrebounded 46 to 33 it kind of sticks out.
3. The Lakers shot 3's very poorly. Hitting those shots stretches the defense which is something LA needs to do to counter Boston's help defense.
