TAKE IT FROM "THE DEAN"

Quinito “The Dean” Henson, the country’s original NBA authority, recently posted a message on my facebook wall and shared his views in the ongoing NBA finals between the 2008 champs Boston Celtics and the 2009 winners Los Angeles Lakers:

“Hi Boyet. Detroit in 2004 and Miami in 2006 won all three middle games they hosted. Hmmm, can Boston do it?

They'll have to if they want to clinch at home. Tough to beat the Lakers four straight, counting back to game 2 in LA. It will likely go to a game 6.

Maybe, Celtics in six or Lakers in seven. I wonder if Kobe will continue to defend Rondo because Allen makes mincemeat of Fish's defense.”
