We're around 24 hours away from the 2010 NBA Finals which is why I decided to do a preview blog, and whether you're rooting for the Lakers or Celtics, I hope this time the series will be entertaining, because personally I have barely enjoyed the Finals the past few years.
Not a lot of people were expecting Boston to have any kind of impact in the Playoffs at the end of the Regular Season where they struggled, but they have picked it up in the post-season eliminating the top two teams with the best records this Season. Meanwhile, the Lakers were struggling as well due to injuries, but since the beginning of the Playoffs, they've been ready to defend their title.
Game 1 will take place in L.A at 9 PM ET, this is a must win for both teams because if Boston win this one, I believe it will give them a big advantage, since they play Game 3 and 4 at home. It will be interesting to see if the Lakers will have Derrick Fisher cover Rajon Rondo or someone else, because Rondo has been arguably the best player during the Playoffs, meanwhile Fisher struggles to keep up with younger guards.
Another important match-up is Pau Gasol vs Kevin Garnett, people have been saying that Garnett could struggle to defend Gasol inside the paint due to his size, and I might have to agree with that. I think the best strategy for the Celtics would be to get him in foul trouble early on, to weaken the Lakers' presence inside.
Enjoy this NBA Finals promo I came across featuring Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Pau Gasol, and Ray Allen:
