It's the NBA Finals, after all, where players are judged on a game-by-game basis, only because so much is on the line in such a short amount of time. Reputations are at stake and are slowly being enhanced ... or destroyed.
As the series moves to Boston for the next three games, will some players' fortunes shift as well? Who will deal with the burden of the championship series better than others? Those are the ongoing issues confronting the important principals starting with Game 3, where the Celtics believe the change of scenery will benefit them.
"We feel good about getting a game (in LA) and what's sitting in front of us right now," said Paul Pierce. "That doesn't guarantee we're going to win the games at home. We still must go out there and respond to what they're going to bring. But obviously the place is something we're very familiar with. We have to hold out own in our place in order to win a championship. We'll see who up to the challenge."
Two games into the NBA Finals, some have accepted the challenge, some are on the middle ground and some are fumbling it.
