...and saying that I will be very impressed with the Celtics and Doc Rivers if the C's manage to win Game 7 on the road without Kendrick Perkins (whose injury will prevent him from playing). Perkins has been a crucial component to the Celtics' success, and his loss causes huge problems for Doc. Rivers might end up relying on 'Sheed, who has been, uh, far from reliable.
The Lakers are -7 and I'm guessing (I use the word "guess" cuz I don't pretend to be an expert, a sports bettor, or an expert sports bettor) they handily cover.
Update: Lakers won but only by 4 so the Celts covered. Sheed scored 11 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 36 minutes before fouling out.
ReplyDeleteGasol, without Perkins on him, had 19 points (despite missing 6 FTs), 18 rebounds, and 4 assists in 42 minutes.
