NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

[buckman]

who you got??

I'm taking the Celts in 6. After handling the Heat Cavs and Magic the Celts have a really good shot at adding the Lakers to that list,enroute to banner #18. Btw the Celts are 9-2 all time when playing the Lakers in The Finals.

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

I am a Lakers fan, but I give Boston the edge, because the Lakers will have no answer for Rondo.

Game 1 Recap in case you missed it...

as I said earlier, as long as the lakers all step up and play, they'll win this series vs the celtics.

i dont think anyone is stopping Kobe from getting his 5th ring

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

^ couldn't agree more. Kobe is the man and if they can STOP him they have a chance, but that's a tall order.

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

they did well for sure, the 8 three pointers from Ray Allen didn't hurt either, lol
it should be a long series especially with 3 in a row in Boston now, which I never understood that, it somewhat gives the lower seed home court advantage having 3 in a row on their court. It will be interesting to see how LL respond

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

I heard Doc Rivers talking about the critics saying they are to old when they lose, but when they win, they call them very experienced. Go figure. Still looks like a good series imo.

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

The Lakers will defo take one in Boston, so the C's will have to win again in LA. It's gotta kill the Lakers though as Boston took one on their home floor and got NOTHING from Pierce or Garnett.

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

celtics not do so good without r allen and his barrage of 3's

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

Story of the year for them unfortunately. Look amazing for stretches but then disapear. Credit to the Lakers though for making some solid adjustments. They won't lay down like the cavs & magic. Someone better let Pierce know the finals have started.

Re: NBA Finals Celts v Lakers

so...
- the Zen master is 47-0 when winning game 1 of a series
- In the 2-3-2 series format (since 1985), when the NBA Finals is tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to win the series on all 10 occasions
-In NBA Finals history, the series has been tied 1-1 on 32 occasions. The Game 3 winner has gone on to win 28 of those 32 series (87.5 percent).

it isn't looking very promising for the Celtics
