I don't think so. After the Lakers eliminate the Suns, they will still have more than enough energy to exact revenge on the Celtics for 2008's debacle. Go LAKERS !!!!
Celts have a good road record and maybe too much for the Lakers regardless of their length with Gasol and Odom. Bynum may not be a factor as he is injury prone.
LA be careful what you wish for!
Boston / Lakers would be another classic. I'd pick the Lakers in 7 but first they have to get by the Suns.
It looks like the Boston magic is back. Red Auerbach is smiling down on them and saying the Leprechaun has returned. It will be another classic Boston-LA finals with the Celtics coming out on top yet again.
I'm 42 and I'm born and raised in Southern California. I've followed the Lakers since I was a kid. They have the talent to win the Title again this year, but they would have to play with something that they have never had over the years, toughness. The Lakers have been able to win titles through the years with great talent, this team as talented as they are, is not great. This is going hurt for me to say but with the core that Boston has and with the bench that is more productive and experienced, Boston wins the Title in 6 over the Lakers.
..................and just for the record, I hope that I'm proven wrong.
This is probably the process:
In game 1 and 2: 1-1
In game 3 and 4: Boston wins all
In game 5: Lakers wins
In game 6: Boston wins
Result: 4:2 Boston champion
are we already saying that the celtics are playing the lakers. ok and how do we know this. the suns only lost by a basket does that mean they will loose
I've said it before, and I'll say it again to the Lakers: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
Without a doubt. Give me their balance of offense with a defense that the Lakers have yet to see. I bet you Magic even thinks so.
Definitely. The Suns can will not be able to score more that 75 a game on them.
Regardless who the Celtics play they will win it all. The Celtics have beaten the best on the road to the finals, LaBron & Howard couldn't do it and neither will Kobe & Company or Steve & company. This will be the last harrah for the Celtics top 3 leaving the 4th to help build the incoming. Celtic in 7.
can good defense beat good offense. yes as a matter of fact yes. very good defensive teams usually go father than high scoring offenses and as you know the defense is what the c's are made of but we can score to.
also how many celtics could give you 15+ if called upon and how many lakers could do that

This is a gathering of links, stories and votes that the editors at NBCSports.com like. Hopefully, Newsvine also like 'em.
This will probably be the last hurrah this particular Celtic team and the core players all know it. That may give them the edge.
