Armadillo's Write-Up
Wednesday, May 16
Celtics (1-1) @ 76ers-- Celtics' last four games have been decided by total of six points, with first two games in this series both decided by a single point. Boston was +16 with Garnett on floor in Game 2, but -17 in 13:00 he was off floor. Home side won four of five series games this season. Holliday (3-13 in first game, 7-15 last game (4-6 from arc)) was huge for Sixers in Game 2. C's have to respect him now. Boston bench was -33 in Game 2; they lost two of three at Atlanta in first round.
Lakers @ Thunder (1-0)-- Quick turnaround for LA Monday proved deadly, as rested, younger, faster Thunder smacked them good. Lakers lost by 15-29 in their two games here, as home side won three of four in series. Lakers will have to compete better here, or this series could be over in a hurry. OC had only four turnovers in Game 1, shooting 53% from floor; they blocked eight shots, holding LA to 43% from the floor. Sessions had only one hoop in 29:00; he has to do more than that.
