Getty ImagesYes, the Celtics are out fishing right now.  But they could soon be joined by the Lakers... and they'd have a hand in making that happen.  That's because the Nuggets are trying to use the blueprint the Celtics created for beating the Lakers. “Boston was so much more physical than they were,” Billups said. “They didn’t give up a lot of layups and they didn’t give up a lot in transition. We’re capable of doing those kinds of things. I can’t say that our team is as good defensively as Boston was last year, but we do have a pretty good defensive basketball team.”It's pretty simple:  take advantage of the soft LA Lakers front line.  Funny, that front line is still soft, but they have a healthy Andrew Bynum.  I thought he was going to toughen them up.  Where's your messiah now, LA?
