NBA Finals Game 4 Preview

Dammit Rondo, learn how to shoot.
The Lakers are looking to tie up the series tonight at 2 games a piece and rebound from the 2 game deficit that they were in. If the Lakers win tonight, I see them going back to Boston with a 3-2 series lead. HOWEVAH, the Celtics are going to win tonight. First of all, Paul Pierce is not going to have another 2-14 shooting performance and Kevin Garnett is probably going to be bad offensively again because you can never trust him in the clutch, but expect him to play great defense and get tough rebounds. And expect Pierce to go for about 30 points tonight. Also, Sasha Vujacic is not going to shoot lights out again because I don't think he has had two good games back to back this entire season. I don't know if that previous sentence is true, but I'm gonna take a page out of KillaFam's playbook and say that it is. Anyways, I think a Celtics victory is also pretty dependent on the health of Rajon Rondo. He needs to play well for the Celtics to have any kind of offensive fluidity. He was a tremendous catalyst in game 2 when he dished out 16 assists, and only shot the ball 4 times. That's what he needs to do in this game because let's face it, Rondo shoots like a poor man's Jason McElwain. So, expect a win by the Boston Celtics tonight if Rondo is his usual self.
Prediciton: Celtics 90, Lakers 86
