Analysis of last two games at TD Banknorth Garden

Initially, we discuss about TD Banknorth Garden for its circumstance. If somebody had ever joined with us appreciating yesterday’s game, you might advert the interlude that was broadcasting on its aloft TV screen. Used to be a humid and muggy court, the ”flashback” was showing at the time on 1984 when the same competition groups were struggling for the golden cup and when was not constructing any of conditioner equipment. Players who were being rest on the bench using ”Fans” to quench sweat and heat, it is hard to imagine for today’s players in the league. Moreover, the film also showed Lakers’ legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was wearing oxygen mask during rest on the bench. But, I believe Boston should have solved to the problem already. Therefore, the most effective weapon should attribute to ”homecourt effect” and will also actualize well comparing to LA’s Stample Center.

Analyzing the roster of Lakers, we can easily reflect the 90’s Chicago Bulls’ shadow to be comparable with. First, it is not to mention about their core Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan (most of multimedias also thinking of). Moreover, Lamar Odom to Scottie Pippen; Steve Kerr to Sasha Vujacic; Derek Fisher to John Paxon; Pau Gasol to Toni Kukoc (also to Vladimir Radmanovic in that Kukoc had long-ranged shooting ability). As to Jordan Farmar, we can dedicate to B.J Armstrong for long-ranged and flashily penetrating abilities. And, combining Luke Walton and Ronny Turiaf with to an one, I believe Horace Grant would be the perfect role for the one. Thus, Lakers this time is part-imitated to former Bulls, with versatile offensive system whatever inside or outside force is demanded.

On the other hand, it is hard to define Boston resembling with what legend teams, because unlike Bob Cousy’s nor Bill Russell’s nor Larry Bird’s period. However, we still dissect them one by one. Their GAP are regarded as their former team core. KG (Kevin Garnett) is former Minisota Timberwolves’ leader whatever in offense and defense; Ray Allen is former Seattle Sonics’; Paul Pierce is primitive Boston Celtics’. When these powerful three compose of one integrity, would not it be incomparable? The answer is still in pendulum. Besides these big three, others of Celtics are merely unfledged birds; they are surging from hell to heaven (last season Boston was still one of lowermost team in the league), they are yet lack of experiences in such ”Big Games”. Though they own some veteran like PJ Brown and Sam Cassell and James Posey, others like Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins are necessarily having a long way to go. But thanks for KG is there, and rapid-improved Perkins, plus one of 2006 ring holders and good defender, Posey, they weave a great defensive system from inside out. And that is why they can accumulate such brilliant success up to reach 66 winning games.

Though Boston took the lead to 2-0 with LA, they, according to past series of playoffs this year, might be beat by Lakers. Nonetheless, the result is not determined since the contest is not up on the stage. Retrospecting of two games in advance, they both are doing well in offense and defense and also showing their determination to pursue the golden cup, the title of world championship. No matter what amazing happens, that would be definitely a great competition and ramification they bring to us.
