Celtics vs Lakers

Tonight is an extremely important game in the series, due to it being the 2-3-2 format. I would love going into LA being up 2-0 and I believe that will happen. Hopefully the defensive intensity keeps up and they keep Kobe out of the lane and off the free-throw line (6 attempts last game).
The big question is whether or not Pierce's knee can hold up, in an emotional game 1 he got carried off the court, then came back to score 19 points. Pierce will be a part time defender on Kobe w/Ray, Posey and Rajon, and hopefully the knee doesn't hinder him on the defensive end too much.
Another question is if Perk will be able to play a lot of minutes. We need his big body to clog up the lanes and bully around Gasol/ Odom. If he is healthy, I like the Celtics odds a lot better.
KG played well, but if we are to win this game he needs to shoot better. I don't think we will be able to keep Kobe down long, and nine straight misses can't happen.
The Celtics have the formula to beat the Lakers (rebounding and defense) all they need to do know is follow it.
