It's getting more and more unlikely for us to get HCA against Boston or Heat. Do we need it to beat them in 7 game series? I say yes
I think its essential even in the western conference. The advantage of having HCA is underestimated IMO.
We are a veteran team. Getting there is our first goal. It doesn't matter where we play come playoff time. A top 4 seed, and we're good. Just look at last year's Celtics.
Got beat cause we got HCA, imo that played a big role. I mean they controlled the game until 4th quarter, could the Lakers really have done it in Boston Garden?
I think Perkins injury played a bigger role than the HCA. But, I say the Lakers have a big chance to have HCA over the Celtics and the Heat. There is 2/3 of the season ahead.
Alright KG is out for 2 weeks and Rondo won't be back soon so it's time for Celticks to lose and Lakers to make up the gap. Boston's HCA is the only thing I'm concerned of, everything else is secondary
