Lakers can't hang with them if they are gunna shoot this well. That's the biggest issue, all the other stuff is important, but it is mainly the result of one team shooting well ( as a whole team.) If it was just one player filling it up, then they could adjust, but the team as a whole is shooting too well for the Lakers to beat them. That's the reason they have so many more assists. Lakers are spread out, because everyone is shooting well. On the other hand, Boston can settle on that one person to defend, because the other players aren't making enough shots to make them get off that one player. If Boston cools off, then it could be a long series, but if they keep shooting the way they are, then it won't go very much longer. If Boston shoots a high percentage in the 1st half on Tuesday, then I think that's gunna be the series. Euros on the Lakers are not gunna hang in there much longer. As it is, they just look at each other after they both let a guy stroll past them to dunk. That's the way Euros do when they start getting beat ( it means "when are the Americans gunna finally get here?")
