Projo CeltsTalk with Bill Reynolds: One game won, three to go

Press the play button below to hear Bill Reynolds' take on Game One. The topics: why the Celtics have to win Game Two, too, Paul Pierce's dramatic return, the Lakers' inability to guard Kevin Garnett, and Kobe Bryant's tough night shooting.

Here are some excerpts from Bill's comments:

On Pierce: "I thought he was dead. ... And all of a sudden he got reborn. They were trying to make comparisons afterward that it was Willis Reed in 1970 limping into Madison Square Garden; I don't think this was quite as dramatic. Obviously he got banged up and he probably panicked a little bit. I'm sure something happened ... all of a sudden they show a picture of him being taken down the corridor in a wheelchhair, and you think that's it for his career, and two minutes later he's coming back like Rocky. So, I don't know; I take that with a grain of salt."

On Garnett: "Kevin Garnett is a horrible matchup for the Lakers. I never thought that Lamar Odom could guard him, and obviously we saw last night that Pau Gasol can't guard him either. And I think that is a real key to the series -- I don't think the Lakers have anybody that can guard him."
