LOS ANGELES -- On the Celtics’ flight from Denver to this city late Tuesday night, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce stood and spoke about what they’d face in the Lakers.
This wouldn’t be the Lakers team that the Celtics routed nearly two weeks prior in Boston. It would be an emotionally inspired group playing their first game since Lakers iconic owner Jerry Buss had died. Emotions would run high. Very high.

For all of those out there who think the Celtics are a better team without Rondo...well, here is the test. And so far, they have failed miserably. They could have won last night had they kept up the running game. Which of course they couldn't without Rondo. My guess is they lose all these road games. Since now they are playing real NBA talent. Not the mediocre teams they have been playing and beating. Without Rondo, they are in deep trouble.
