Stay Cautious LA.

Los Angeles Lakers, you dominated Game 1. Kobe was Kobe, Gasol ran circles around Garnet, Artest showed Pierce that it won't be easy and Bynum looked good on that gimpy knee. This was the opposite image of the 2008 NBA Finals. The Celtics showed their age and looked almost defenseless against the energized Lakers. But Stay Cautious, LA.

These Celtics are filled with pride and have a champion pedigree. These are the men that stumped on title favorite Cleveland Cavaliers and last years Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic. These are men who pride themselves on bullying you. These are men who make the other team feel like boys on the court. Doc Rivers is an expert at motivation and the Celtics will be ready to make this a competitive series. The men in Green will be determined to bring the the men in Purple and Gold.

By the way, I have Lakers in 6.
