Kevin Garnett has known Kobe Bryant for a long time. Tom Thibodeau has known Bryant even longer. Thibodeau, the Boston Celtics' associate head coach in charge of defense, was a Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach back when Bryant was a Lower Merion High prep who would hurry after school to join current 76ers players for training and scrimmages. Thibodeau helped build the foundation of Bryant's game, which Bryant said should help Boston considerably in the NBA Finals. "He has an unfair advantage," Bryant said Saturday. "He started drilling me, NBA basketball drills, when I was 14. So he kind of has inside information on what I like to do, because he taught me most of the stuff."

June 8, 2008  12:11 PM ET

Use the Chewbacca defense.....errrr....I mean the Bynum defense.

June 8, 2008  12:47 PM ET

Um morons, Boston barely got through each playoff series and Lakers handled everyone. Any team in the West could have easily swept any team in the East. Hell, Clippers could have the best record in the East if they were over there.

lakers in 6.

June 8, 2008  01:00 PM ET

Kobe goes left and KG Blocks shot
Kobe goes down the middle and KG Blocks shot.
Kobe goes around boston defenders and KG FINALY WAKES UP FROM THE DREAM/NIGHTMARE ON HOW GUARD KOBE. You just cant. Lakers in 6 or 7

June 8, 2008  01:03 PM ET

Dam first Walsh then Belichek then we find out Thibodeau. I wonder if the Celtics video taped Bryant's Junior High Workouts in hope that they can view it when they meet 15 year down the road in the Finals. WTF with the Article. Kobe is just saying that, he has different variety of shots that he developed after HS.

??????????? What is a Bynum defense??????????????????????

June 8, 2008  01:09 PM ET

Well, is can help Boston win hoorah but, even without this Boston still has their chance to win. I mean come on they got KG, Pierce and Allen. Plus a crew who can basically do anything and this is all coming from a team who had one of the worst records in the NBA last season.

What are you trying to say? Celts are playing for Kobe's clowns?

June 8, 2008  01:11 PM ET

Ohh Now I get it?

Hahahahaha - have you checked your logo at mid-court? and who is the clown now?

June 8, 2008  01:12 PM ET

Well back to sleep.

June 8, 2008  01:19 PM ET

1 Down - 3 to go.

June 8, 2008  01:21 PM ET

With the Fakers being such a superior team they probably will lose tonight too just so they can win all 3 in LA and come back to win in Boston. Sweeping the Celtics would be too easy. They want to make it tough to prove to everyone that the 3 losses were a fluke


yeah that sound right.

June 8, 2008  01:23 PM ET

Kobe will score more tonight... at least 3 or 4 more points and it will only take him an extra 10 or 15 shots to do it.

June 8, 2008  01:44 PM ET

Quick question Epoch1 - What is with the Fakers you mean Lakers right?

Acctually you maybe right or you maybe wrong? Usually when Kobe has horrible shooting games he comes back strong the next game. We will see.
