Lakers - Celtics Open Game Thread

The Lakers and Celtics meet for the second time this season. The last time they played, the Lakers eeked out a win in Boston on a tip-in by Andrew Bynum and a last-second block by Pau Gasol, a low-scoring affair in which neither team scored 90 points--IN OVERTIME.

Today, Boston will be looking to improve on their 5-10 road record, while the Lakers will look to extend their 17-2 home winning record.

It's early so have a cup of green tea every time someone mentions:

• the historic Lakers-Celtics rivalry
• the 2010 Finals
• the age of the respective rosters
• Mike Brown backpedaling on calling out Kobe Bryant's shot selection

In the immortal words of EXER123, GOO CELTICS LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
