Title: Will the Celtics and Lakers play on Christmas day with 4 losses combined?
Post by: Teddy Roosevelt on December 08, 2008, 02:28:08 PM
The Celtics play the second of a back-to-back matchup against the New Orleans Hornets and the Lakers have a 4 game road trip. Those obsticles aside, they can face each other 27-2 vs. 26-2 on Christmas. That would be insane.

Celtics schedule:
December 11    @ Washington
December 12    New Orleans
December 15    Utah
December 17    @ Atlanta
December 19    Chicago
December 21    New York
December 23    Philadelphia

Lakers schedule:
December 9    @ Sacramento
December 10    Phoenix
December 12    Sacramento
December 14    Minnesota
December 16    New York
December 19    @ Miami
December 20    @ Orlando
December 22    @ Memphis
December 23    @ New Orleans

Make a prediction. I think they'll both lose one more game before playing each other.

The Lakers probably lose to NO. Road trip, back-to-back games, a horrible team followed by a good team. Boston could lose to Atlanta, but I doubt it. With so few losses, the 2 direct match-ups in the regular season could actually mean something in regards to who wins the title. That's refreshing.

I don't really see LA losing..but we all know upsets can happen, but I can actually see Boston losing to ATL just because of how ATL handled them at home last year..should be interesting to see.

We should pull off a trade to get a better defensive player at the PG position ... that high screen and roll defense is TERRIBLE( well the PG is not the only responsible for that but he's a huge part)  ... Drew needs to re-become that defensive anchor again , Kobe needs to stop gambling and the whole team needs to stop helping-doubled team for no reason after a screen ... it results in WIDE open threes  for the opponent ... if we keep playing that kind of D (well , we do not play any) we won't beat whoever will come out of the East ... and it's not overraction based on this loss ... it's based on what I saw from the latest  10-12 games

Celtics and Cavs definitely play more mature basketball. Lakers are more talented, though. In the Finals, I'd go with serious adult basketball over raw talent any day of the week. But like you said, it's still early.

I do agree with NIK. The last thing we need is to start changing players unless it's for an impact type of player. We started the season defending very well. We can do it again. It's all about ourself. Getting another PG in our rotation won't "save" us. It's the team who gotta step up and who gotta be more concentrated.

We can always make a trade in 2 months, if necessary. Or we can acquire a veteran just before the playoffs if necessary. But not now.

we dont need a traditional point guard...we need a point who runs the offense and hits the open shot ala ron harper and brian shaw, and that's exactly what fisher does. farmar is also being built in that mold, and he's been impressive most the time.

I'm talking about D... I do not talk about a major trade but a mid season trade ala Ariza .... I agree it's still early in the season but if  we play the same type of D coming playoffs time we are not going to beat Boston , I hate to say that but I'm just realistic ... the whole team needs to step it up and coming in each game with a mentality to shut teams down on the D end and to send a message ... as the great Rick Fox during the half time report yersterday , if a guard is going to the hoop ; just beat  the shit out him ... he won't show up a second time

Of course , It's still early in the season and I know that the best thing is to be ready to play at 100% around March ... but playing solid D should be a constant ( I'm not asking lock down D ) ... to be honest , I feel that we do not even try right now , that's why I'm not THAT concerned ... if we go 4-0 on that upcoming trip and then beat the C's at home , I will eat my words
