LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog: Fiddlin' and Diddlin'

Herald Celtics hold Powe-sition
Little comfort in Celtics’ 2-0 lead
FL's Take: The Celtics won two games on the road against the Pistons and they have won their last 4, but they can't get complacent. They must come out just as strong in LA and play aggressive defense. No let ups.
Paul Pierce puts hurt to LA Lakers
Time’s right for Celtics
Rajon Rondo, mates offer ample assistance in win
FL's Take: The Celtics role players and bench came up really big in game 2. People need to eat a lot of words who have been bashing the Celtics' bench all season.
Leon Powe’s work inside helps Celtics hold serve
FL's Take: Powe showed what can happen when a team has a low post presence. This is what we need KG to do. He has to go inside and stop with all the jumpers. Guaranteed Powe won't sneak up on the Lakers again.

Bryant's night: Seething and disbelieving
FL's Take: Kobe was mad because Radmanocic took that last 3 instead of passing to him. I really hope he continues to seethe. He will try to take over the game and Michael Jordan proved that one person can't beat a team when he scored 63 and lost.

CelticsBlog Celtics can't relax, Fans maybe should
FL's Take: Very hard to relax when something I have waited and hoped and prayed for for 21 years is finally within reach. I am a nervous wreck. The Celtics can do this if they just stay focused, play tough defense and team ball and don't let up.

FL's Take: I couldn't agree more! I am so happy for him. What a great chapter in his life story. My biggest question is: Where was Leon in the entire Pistons' series? Could it be that Doc knew he had a secret weapon and held him out until the perfect time?
