I suppose they're assuming that the Lakers will take out their anger on 
the Celtics?  They forget that Atlanta lost 2 straight after winning 
their first 11, and the second loss was to Detroit.  

The Lakers also have done a lot of flying in the last 48 hours.  

My only concern is that the game wasn't close enough last night to 
really tire the Lakers, but if they were trying to catch up right up 
until the last few minutes, maybe they'll be tired and will fall apart 
in the 4th quarter tonight against Boston. 

My other concern is that the Lakers are scoring more than any other team 
in the NBA, so they may be used to up-tempo and fit enough to withstand
the Celtics' energetic defensive onslaught.

Look for the Lakers to get off to an early lead coming off their frustration 
of last night, and look for Boston to come back as the Lakers tire.
