So says Mark Massengil Heisler...
If anyone forgot, as almost everyone did, the Lakers' size, depth and athleticism are far superior to the Celtics'. If the Lakers played as hard as the Celtics, and defended as well, they really would win 70.
Just keep this in mind: This guy got paid to write this pile of crap
Then there's their bench, as in, what bench?Powe and Tony Allen might or might not break into the Lakers' nine-man rotation. Davis and Eddie House, no shot. If the Celtics' endurance has yet to be tested, that loss Friday in Golden State wasn't a good sign.
I wonder what his excuse was when the Lakers lost two in a row in Florida... or when they struggled to beat Memphis?
Or... could it be possible that you can't make ridiculous snap judgments based on a single game?
