NBA Finals

I'm thinking Lakers in 6, but I'm gonna bet with Silver just for the fun of it.

Although I don't like basketball, I'm saying Celtics in 7.

Celtics in 4, mark it.

No way in hell, Lakers will take at least one at home.

Not if the Celtics are more determined, Doc played the starters 80% of the game in the Detroit series and it worked great, Celtics will CRUSH the Lakers, Its Destiny, 3 all starts who have never won a championship come together to form the best team in the NBA and completely destroy the opposition in the Finals.

Lakers in 6

i think the lakers might be a slightly better team but i still think the celtics have come too far to lose

How the hell do the Lakers have a better team... Ray Allen, KG, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins is the BEST starting lineup in the NBA, and our bench is better than the Lakers as well. If the Lakers do win itll be because Kobe and Pau Gasol played OUT OF THEIR MIND basketball.

homerism right there for everyone to see.

if joe johnson nearly took down the celtics basically on a one man team (horford, etc. i know but they didnt do that well in the series), then how do you think we'll do against an elite team. with detroit, there was no elite scorer so we didn't have that much trouble... imagine the cavs series with a better scorer than lebron and a better supporting cast.

KG>>>Gasol
Rondo>Fisher
Allen<<Kobe
Piere>>Odom
Perkins>Radmanovic

You know nothing about basketball and youve showcased it before, so please dont pretend you do.

I say Boston in 7

Ray Allen needs to get hot.

I will rather take the Lakers and the most clutch player in Kobe who finally has a good supporting cast over a team whose superstars have had a history of choking and being unable to lead their old teams.

KG has had a history of chokes when the game is on the line - sure, he might step it up some, but fact remains, Kobe has proven to be clutch.


If anything, the Cavs - Celts series showed that the Lakers will win - Kobe has not and will not be as poor at shooting as LeBron was; He steps it up when it counts (See: Game 1 vs Spurs).

KG>Gasol
Rondo=Fisher
Allen<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Kobe (And this is being generous)
Pierce>>>Odom

I actually was a fan when I was younger, I don't like the new team as much but I still want them to win of course. But I used to be a big NBA fan in general. I find it funny when a lot of my friends think they are Celtics fans, but don't know anyone but KG, Allen, and Pierce and they don't know who Allen used to play for

im pretty sure i know more about basketball than u, if u think the celtics are better than the lakers. and the stats tell the story rondo=fisher, kobe is much better than allen, pierce is better than radmanovic, odom is little bit worse than KG, Gasol is better than perkins, and u also have to keep in mind that phil jackson is a pretty good coach. even though u may like the celtics, u must accept the fact that the laker r a better team.

Again, Paul was amazing, 4-4 on 3's. Allen locked up Kobe pretty good. If Boston can win on the road, they got this.

as much as i want boston to win, i dont think they can play at this level on the road, and they definitely arent going to win any game in LA if they continue blow away leads in the fourth quarter

well ive seen the celtics blow leads before, and im not saying its the end of the world, i just think they cant get lazy in LA if they have the lead

lol....

I dont care if the celtics suck on the road... I dont care if the Lakers will play well at home and are motivated...

This series is going to be won by the celtics very quickly. They have a lot of momentum, and I just cant see a miraculous turn around by the Lakers.
