The Lakers came this close to pulling off what would have been the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history on Sunday evening or the world’s greatest collapse depending on what camp you’re in. Now the Lakers find themselves in 2-0 hole so I thought I would take it upon myself to compile a list of some things the Lakers must do to pull out a must win game 3 at the Staples Center on Tuesday night. So without further ado I give you my expert keys to victory against the stalwart Celtics.
1. Make sure to gather a different officiating crew so that the fans can force their will. As long as the officiating is going to be embarrassingly homerish, the Lakers must take advantage.
2. Do not allow Sasha to shoot a meaningful shot in the last 5 minutes of the game ever.
3. Dress Lamar Odom for the game not sure why he would want to miss the biggest games of his life. Guess he just doesn’t like Boston.
4. Somehow get Mamba to play like MVP Mamba.
5. The Lakers don’t have to stop him, but at least contain Leon ‘don’t call me Pau’ Powe?!! Seriously, just because he’s a bench player you’ve never heard of doesn’t give the Lakers the right to allow Mr. Powe to go coast to coast without being touched, groped, or anything resembling defended.
6. Should Big Baby Davis get in the game the Lakers must are we really to this point? Scratch that. Just play basketball the way you played all year.
7. Adjust their attitudes starting with scowling Mamba learning to be a good teammate again rather than belittling his fellow Lakers in front of everyone on the court at all times.
8. Never playing Luke Walton. Aside from the fact that he has been horrible, non-existent really he might be the only Laker on the floor better looking than Kobe. Kobe no like. This clearly upsets Mamba, you can’t argue with the results.
9. Phil Jackson must remain on the bench for more than 10 minutes at a time. I don’t have proof, but I’m willing to wager that if he’s up the bench more than 5 times a game, the results do not favor the Lakers.
10. Finally, if Rajon Rondo gets 16 dimes again…well hmmm that’s not very good. D Fish needs to show that championship moxie and buck up against the wiry kid with the enormous hands. If the Lakers follow these 10 simple rules we may have a series.

I’m sure the Lakers will win the next 3 games at home because they have to sell more tickets and flags/merch to their sheepish MO-RONIC fans. After winning, because it’s been long over due, everyone will riot and show the world how intelligent residents of LA truly are.
The finals are fixed look at how the refs will call something thins but overlook other things. It seems that they have to play at least 5 games to appease both teams fans (owners, vendors…)
