Old Dog Got Any Bark Left? Does It Matter?
-
Pau Gasol was right. Kevin Garnett obviously has seen his best days. Sunday was a good example. The Celtics did just fine without him in Game 2, when foul trouble limited him to only 24 minutes. He finished with 6 points and 6 boards, but Boston didn’t need them. With Ray Allen lighting up the Lakers in a record performance and Rajon Rondo faking and shaking defenders into the courtside seats at Staples, the Celtics evened the series at 1 apiece entering Tuesday’s contest in Boston.
Though there are plenty of questions of how the Lakers will respond or if they can avoid getting swept 3 straight in Boston, inquiring minds wonder about Garnett too. Repeat performance? Will his play dictate the outcome of Game 3? Or will he resort to the dirty tactics that got him suspended in the Miami series to prevent the Lakers’ dominance inside? Does it really matter what he does? Questions, questions, questions.
The Celtics are a 2 1/2 to 3-point favorite.
Pre-game coverage for Game 3 tips off at 5:30 p.m. (PT) on ABC.
