Lakers played like Magic and Kareem played back in the 80's..Celtics better play like Larry if they dream of winning in LA!!
What were you Celtic whiners saying about the Lakers and their bench after game 6? What a bunch of chumps......Lakers are going to win without a doubt...
The Lakers WILL once again be the champs on Thursday. And it's so funny...the worst nightmare will be coming true for all the lame Laker haters out there!! hahaha!!
Bean Town Suckers....Notting pleases me more in pro sports than an LA win over Boston, esp. a game 7 Championship win. Lovin' it!! Laker 4 Life baby!!
i don't hate the lakers as much as i hate rapist ball hogs.
Seems to me you just happen to pull for losers and hate the world because of your bad choices. Maybe you need to go see Dr. Phil. Not the Zen Master Phil, the guy that has the TV show. Bart Starr was and still is one of the classiest MEN in the sports world. Gotta give Kobe his props...best player on the planet. LeBron? Best REGULAR season player...maybe. GO LAKERS! As for you...go on and eat some more sour grapes.
i don't hate the lakers as much as i hate rapist ball hogs.
I'm a rapist ball hog. I'm a friggin' harelip, too!
"Hey mithter, do you thell bird theed?"
The joy is back in LA-LA Land. Even Jack has a new bounce in his step! The lakers bench players FINALLY showed up and destroyed the Celtics' bench. This was one of the finest team efforts of the season for the Lakers. Had the Lakers lost, with the grit and determination that permeated the team tonight, from a fan's perspective we could have still held our heads high. If our beloved Lakers have the heart and fire that we think they have, Game 7 will bring about another NBA championship for them. GO LAKERS!
Yes, and let's see how the thugs tear up the town, win or lose. what a bunch of dopes.
After seeing how inspired the Lakers are at home, and how everything that didn't happen on the road come back into play, I have to retract my "whoever wins Game 5 takes it all" comment and go with The Artists Formerly Known As The Minneapolis Lakers. Rebounding, plus points in the paint, plus Kobe on fire equals champions...
Boston will take home the trophy. LA can try again next year...
Everything that can be said about the greatness of the L.A. Lakers has been said. No way in Hell the Lakers will lose a game 7 at home. GO LAKERS!
The Celts are going to take it. Allen and his 3 pointers, Garnett on the boards and Pierce's leadership will bring it home!
I don't know who'll win game 7 but the Celtics sure stunk tonight.
You people are ridiculous! Let's do the math here: Boston is 9-2 vs. the Lakers in NBA finals match-ups. It will be 10-2 after Thursday night's game. The Celtics are bringing in Youkilis to replace Perkins!
don't worry bean town rats, you can't possibly lose two in a row, haven't yet. I promise you will win game 7. Because really, who give a rat's ass.
It's the luck of who's hot for that game. Both teams are the best that exist.
Kobe is the best shooter; the Celtics have the best teamwork.
Lakers should win at home, but it won't be a blowout (4-6 point victory). Celtics might have trouble playing from behind. Bynam is important since the combination of him and Gasol enable the Lakers to control the paint. Lakers need to stop Rondo from penetrating for layups and easy dishes near the basket. Both teams will play fanatical defense. I suspect the refs will let them play more in game seven. Mental and physical toughness will prevail. That usually determines who gets the most rebounds and steals. Final factor...Kobe! Love him or hate him, Kobe is an amazing leader for his team.
I haven't watched much NBA action since Shaq left the Lakers.
I don't really like Kobe's attitude, but I think he is a gifted basketball player... and I respect Phil Jackson's coaching style and his ability to deal with Kobe's attitude.
I think the Lakers will win, and I have been a Laker fan since the days of Jerry West, although I have enjoyed watching various Celtic teams over the years.
Lakers are due for a moment of greatness. If they play the same way as last night, the Celtics don't have a prayer. It's time for the entire Laker team to step up and time for Kobe to take command of his team. I think Derrick Fisher is going to have a big game, Gasol will win the rebound battle and Big Baby will be a non factor. Sorry Perkins is out but that will not be the difference. The difference will be a smothering defense by the Lakers. Nuff said
I want to see a good game and I hope that the referees are not the deciding
factor. GO BOSTON!
O dear Ruddie, wishful thinking... the fakers are playing on their court, the refs are always on their payroll - I think we know how this is going to turn out besides, this is the NBA where amazing happens - amazing how the cheating goes on...
The Lakers had the refs on their team. The difference in the free throw stats is unbelievable. I hate the NBA because they cheat good teams out of their wins. The refs are horrible!
To Patrick Gray, thanks for the ancient history lesson. Russell, Bird, and Mchale aren't there anymore. What you've got are some great overachievers with an excellent coach. Kudos to the Celtics for getting this far - they've gotten more out of those old tired bodies than I ever thought they would. Kudos to Doc Rivers, he is an awesome coach. But this is game 7 - You saw last night what the Lakers do when they have to. Sometimes they get lazy, but when the championship gets on the line, they know how put the petal to the metal. I don't think it will be that close.
Laker fans, lets show the rest of the country how to celebrate ANOTHER championship with CLASS!!
GO LAKERS!

I really hate to say it because I hate the Lakers but Boston won't win game 7. This really sucks!
