They are a still of a team. At this point in time though Cavs and Lakers are better. Boston won't repeat with this team without any additions to their roster. That's what this game proved
you have pretty low standards for proof

No Bynum. b2b game. Lakers win.
This was not a game they should have even come close to winning given those cir stances.
If you don't think this game will with the Celtic's heads you are fooling yourself.
The numbers prove it. LA 2-0 vs Boston. Boston needs another big.
while i dont agree with the way you post here, that has got to be fact. celtics cant just walk over pau and lamar anymore. 44 points and 20 boards today.
again.."no Bynum" is the same as saying "no McGrady" or "no Jermaine O'Neal"..
I disagree that this affected Boston's minds..the Celtics aren't a mentally weak team..
what it did mentally, was affect the Lakers in a positive way..they aren't backing down anymore..
Those numbers prove nothing. Cavs swept the Spurs in the 2007 regular season. Guess what happened in the Finals?

not even close. neither was the missing piece in a championship series. if you are referring to tonights game, still i disagree. bynum is the 3rd option on this team while tmac and oneal were the team leaders
or "no Elton Brand"
cool ure en led to your opinion. but i think the celtics miss posey. pierce did a great job d'ing up kobe down the stretch, but he used all his energy on defense. he couldnt hit shots or ft's when it mattered.
Considering both teams are both mentally strong versus each other now, the more talented team then wins... In this case its LA... you can't deny that...They beat Boston in a gritty tough game in LA and a Higher scoring affair in Boston. That's why I loved this victory. Two different games, Lakers winning both
I agree with you guys, I'm just saying it doesn't affect Boston mentally..it affects the Lakers in a positive way though, because it gives their soft players confidence..they aren't backing down anymore..
I was comparing Bynum to those guys for his injuries, obviously not for his role..
Poor Example. considering the Cavs didn't even make the Finals that year LOL
Sure it affects Boston's psyche. They have not beaten the Lakers in two attempts this season. Both times, Boston was hailed as 'playing the best basketball in the league' with streaks of 19 and 12. It is a big deal, especially with homecourt on the line.
Lol at anyone who says it doesnt affect Bostons psyche.
KG is a mentally weak pussy.
So are Pierce and Allen.
So is their whole team.
Fluke champions.
I'm going to say the same thing I said after the X-Mas game:
This game will have no bearing whatsoever in the playoffs.
Jury still out on the Celtics the playoffs will tell. You may think they are a fluke but they are still the Champs until someone knocks them off.
Agreed. By no means is Boston gonna cower up. But I got to think that their team doubts that their team can beat LA with their current roster. Lakers won a low scoring gritty affair on XMAS and this win, which is even HUGER, as far as psyche, doing on the road, on back2back nights, minuse Drew.
This game proves the Lakers have gotten tougher. This was the same team that lost in Game 6
