6/15/08 Game 5 Preview

Game 5 preview

It was announced today the Perkins will not play tonight and Leon Powe will start in his place.

Even though Perk hasn't had many moments this series after a great series against Detroit, he adds a toughness element that will be missed.

Obviously much media play has been made about how this series is over, perfect for what LA needs to be thinking. They will play the backs up against the wall theme all night and by my prediction into Tuesday in Boston for game 6.

Intensity will be huge for both teams, look for lots of 3's by the Lakers, putting pressure on the Celtics to come from behind again. This time, unfortunately they will fall short

Prediction : Lakers 98 Celtics 92
