Rekindle

Bird v.s. Magic. Kobe v.s. Garnett, Allen, and Pierce. Lakers v.s. Celtics.
The Lakers take on the Celtics for the first time this season tonight. Kobe Bryant comes into this game averaging a modest 26.9 points. The Lakers (7-4) had their 4-game winning streak ended in a 110-103 loss to the Bucks, but come into this game with the up most confidence. Meanwhile the Celtics (9-1) have been obliterating their opposition, winning such contests by an average of 14.2 points. Kobe a.k.a. the Facilitator will have to have a big game tonight, not necessarily scoring wise, for the Lakers to have a chance. I doubt this will be the beginning of a new rivalry between these to teams, but it does promise to be a good game. My prediction: Celtics win 115-107. Kobe ends the game with 31 points.
