Scoreboard! Staples Center used to taunt the [Boston]e|OOD Celtics
Scoreboard! Staples Center used to taunt the [Boston]e|OOD Celtics
Thursday night is going to be fun, you guys. That's a no doy for sure, but I feel like it needs to be out there in the ether to help make sure it happens. These are two great teams playing great basketball that want to nothing more than to prove that they're the best franchise in NBA history. Kind of a big deal, I'd say. A title's on the line, sure, but it's a little bit more than that.
As such, both [Boston]e|OOD and [Los Angeles]e|OOD are going to do anything they can to get a leg-up for Game 7. But since they're playing in the Staples Center, the Lakers have one clear advantage in the leg-up-getting business — stadium tricks. From the [Boston]e|OOD Globe's Dan Shaughnessy :
Very nice psychological warfare. This feels like something a high school would do to its rivals, so it gets a big thumbs up from this guy. Well played.
Of course, I'm sure more than a few Celtics fans would be happy to remind the Laker faithful about 131-92 . Unfortunately for them, they don't have a gigantic light display to do it with. Oh well, maybe buy a Lite-Brite and show it to anyone wearing forum blue and gold . Same idea, basically.
