You have to play defense to win in the NBA- The Celtics shot 56% in an NBA finals game while the Lakers shoot 39% . You have to hit your free throws towards the end of the game- Ron Artest misses both free throws with 40 seconds left in a 5 point game. We all know the Celtics are a tougher team, have three future Hall of Famers and Rondo who is playing like one. The Celtics have a stronger bench with Big Baby, Nate, Rasheed, and Tony Allen because Lamar Odom and the rest of the Laker Bench only show up against finesse teams on the road. Kobe scored 38 points but no one else helped. The next leading scorer was Pau Gasol with 12. Ask Lebron and Dwight Howard if you can beat a team like the Celtics with just one man. Only question left- is it over on 6 or will it go to game 7?
