Lakers were dead tired by the middle of
the 4th. When Ray Allen went left around
Sasha V. late, he could not even move his feet.

Same with Kobe on Pierce. He fouled Pierce
at an important time because he was dead
tired, he could not move his feet.
Kobe has to work so hard. He is the
major penetrator/playmaker and has to play
on Pierce virtually
alone. Kobe is essentially still a PG.

The Celtics are playing much better help
Defense. Thats why Allen and Pierce played
big minutes and were still fresh.

No legs, no D.

And the Celtics are just more physical,
it is wearing on the Lakers late.

My take.
Lets see how the Lakers get the game
moving. They have got to take advantage
of their mobility, cause they are not going
to out wrestle the Celtics.
