Knicks beating Celtics

I also find this is the key to the Spurs. If Tony can make his jumpshots, the Lakers will have a long night...a win can go either way.

If Tony is missing jumpshots, I think the Lakers win easily.

dude, it's 2009. Tony has a consistent shot. Beleive me, Tony is left open he will drain at a good %

That is indeed something I'm worried about. Tony's outside shot looks better but he does have some midrange slumps. I don't think he "trusts" his shot yet although he certainly can make them.

Dude, in the 2008 WC Finals, the Lakers stopped Parker the same way they did in 2004

TP is and always will be worried about his JS no doubt. His favorite sentence is something like "if my JS is ok I feel I can do anything" therefore IMO he still can have off nights due to confidence issues related to that.
The big difference this year ? He is less concerned or obsessed by that because he knows that the team can rely on other guys : matt / hill / mase and of course Manu. The perfect example is the game against Miami, despite his struggling with the JS he didn't force the thing and took only 9 shots but he stayed agressive and helped the team.
