Rondo and KG's mid range jumper might give Lakers some issues.
I don't think much about the whole series. Only care about one game at a time. Big difference since minute factors can affect the game.

one objection i have with your analysis...
there seems to be an unreasonable disrespect for KG... the guy revolutionized the position, is one of the best defensive big men of all time, has an amazing all around offensive game, and if he is as healthy as he was in the Cleveland series, can clearly still produce game in and game out...
point is... KG vs. Gasol is not even debatable, and if you think that it is, i have to question your objectivity... KGs defense is legendary, and he is still getting it done...
i caution against underestimating him, or think he is too old to handle someone like Gasol, who, while talented, especially in his passing and scoring around the basket, is limited in many other ways, and is still the student, when KG is on the court...

Very surprised to see nobody talking about the 2 biggest matchups IMO in the Series. Ron vs Paul and Kobe vs Ray. There is a high chance that Ron shuts down Paul or at least contains him. Kobe will contain Allen. Kobe will be Kobe. As far as Ron goes and I think they leave him a lot of opens shots just like the Suns did. If Ron can hit those, Lakers will be 2010 Champions

Bookmaker opened Lakers (-180), Celtics (+160) & the price has gone up to Lakers (-200) & Celtics (+170) within 1 day.

Very good write up!
I think the Celtic bench is better. Perkins should also have his way, as remember, he just came off playing Howard and Bynum, Gasol don't bring that physical with them so he should be better offensively. The Artest presence will be a large factor also. Legit arguments can be made both ways and this should be a heck of a legit series.
