Gasol's Facial Expression May Determine NBA Finals

Game 3 of the NBA playoffs is set for tonight as the series makes its way back to Boston, as the Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers try to take control of the series that is currently at a game apiece.  The Lakers took game 1 102-89, and the Celtics took game 2 with a 103-94 victory where point guard Rajon Rondo recorded a triple-double, and Ray Allen tore it up with 8, 3-pointers.  The Celtics are excited to get back home and getting a victory in LA for the next three games are in Boston, which means they could close out the series at home.  Celtics power forward, Kevin Garnett told the Associated Press, "I feel good going back to the jungle."

It has been a physical battle thus far, and it should continue to be the same.  However, one thing may be the deciding factor that hopefully will give the Celtics the edge, and that is Pau Gasol's terrible face expression.  The entire game he continually has a look of an annoying whining, scowl on his face.  It's tough to watch.  He's always crying about a call or a non-call, and his facial expression of complete confusion doesn't deserve a victory.

It's an interesting take on the series.  The tip-off of Game 3 is a few hours away.
