Any thoughts on Lakers/Celtics Christmas Day? It's hard to imagine the Lakers beating the Celtics. The Lakers seem soft; talented but soft. They win, but they don't alway look good in doing so. Sure, it's all about winning, but playing the Celtics is different than playing the Memphis Grizzlies. The Celtics will come in with attitude, and deservedly so. If the Lakers are to have a chance, I think the difference will be Trevor Ariza. He can give an opposing team fits both offensively and defensively and is difficult to match up with. The Lakers need this one if they want to avoid an inferiority complex with the Celtics if and when they play in the Finals.
