Projo CeltsTalk with Bill Reynolds: Celtics-Lakers matchups

Press the play button below to hear Bill Reynolds' break down the Celtics-Lakers matchups at all five positions.

Here are some excerpts from Bill's comments:

On matchup up with Kobe Bryant: "Nobody can play Kobe, that's the problem the Celtics have. You might want to put Pierce on him in an ideal world, because he's bigger and more physical [than Ray Allen], but I don't know if you want Paul Pierce wasting his whole night chasing Kobe Bryant around. ... Probably the best guy on the Celtics who can play him, at least bother him a little bit, is James Posey, who I think will play a lot in the series because of that. No one is going to stop Kobe Bryant, but Posey on that Celtics roster is the guy who can give him the toughest matchup."

On the ultimate outcome: "I think that the 2-3-2 does not help the Celtics. It puts tremendous pressure on the Celtics to win those two games [Games One and Two in Boston], because if you don't win those two games you may never come back from L.A. The whole world thinks that L.A. is going to win this series; it would not shock me if they did. I think if the Celtics can survive and come back to Boston for Games Six and Seven, they have a chance."
