I really want the C's to win Game 3 and stick a dagger into the hearts of the Lakers, but realistically speaking, I wouldn't be surprised with a loss. I expect LA to come out firing on all cylinders and play their hearts out, cause if not, they'll be in deep DEEP sh*t going down 3-0.
On that note, I expect the C's to keep the game as close as possible, possibly taking the lead in some stretches, just to put a scare into the Lakers and not give them any confidence that they can easily win all their home games.
I would least of all expect the C's to be blown out by the Lakers, which would potentially boost LA's confidence, demoralize the C's, and dictate how games 4 and 5 might be played.
But like I said, I'd be perfectly happy with a win tomorrow.
Go C's! BEAT LA!

i found this pretty funny in his last article

anyway good luck to you guys and i hope its a good game

but if Bennett Salvatore doesn't officiate Game 3, it will be the biggest sports upset of this century

Since this was a game we were probably going to lose anyway with all the make-up calls going to the Fakers, might as well kill two birds with one stone and have Bennett do this one.
I just hope he doesn't wear the ring he won with Miami in 2006...that'd be too much to handle!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

I'll keep an eye out for a Lakers' jersey under his shirt.

There's no such thing as "stealing" a game when you're up 2-0.
I agree. Either the Celtics or Lakers could win tonight. There is a homecourt advantage, but the Celtics are a better team (as proven over the course of a full season and four head-to-head contests).
It's not an upset if Boston wins.

Keep the game close and the collar will get tighter, tighter and tighter as it did to the Pistons on the road. If the Pistons as great as they are spit the bit out when the pressure was applied the Laker will too as the fans start to boo and Kobe starts to press and turn on his own boys.......
WE ARE CELTIC NATION
