Lakers lost the NBA title tonight.

Lakers definitely need to make adjustments on the defensive end. I won't go as far to say the Celtics will easily beat the Lakers but there is a problem coming up for the Lakers if they don't make some changes with there style of play.

Celtics nba champs

Pull the trigger because there are way too many unknowns, opening game line, series line, injuries, Phil Jackson mind games lol etc. Once we got two teams in the finals and game 1 is here then I will make that decision.

I will tell you this though, the Celtics are going to have to win the NBA finals on LA's floor if they want to win it all.

Your young sj, you have to realize that bosons d is something I haven't seen in a long time. Defense wins championships, appreciate watching them at their craft

Goat Milk · 05-23-10, 11:08 PM

You already knew Boston would smack LA if they played today. We both knew it.

I can't believe you of all people are underestimating our boy. How dare you.

Lol I may be young but I know a great defensive team when I see one. Bottom line is that Orlando doesn't have what I like to call "playoff players" on their rosters. The Vince Carters, Matt Barnes and Rashard Lewis' of the world are not built for the playoffs. They are choking big time. LA has a bunch of guys that badly want the ball in big moments. Boston's defense is very good but it's not the greatest of all time.

lakerboy · 05-23-10, 11:10 PM

Goat who is our boy? Kobe. THe lakers are done. They have no chance in a series with Boston.They would be lucky to win 2 games.

I'll take the best player in the game, the best coach, and the team that won it last year. And that's my honest answer

shoebox · 05-23-10, 11:14 PM

You said this is your first year betting nba?1

SportsTerminator · 05-23-10, 11:15 PM

Bynum was absolute trash today. He had what more fouls than points, sad. And I do believe the Celtics will beat the Lakers. The Celtics are more physique and have a better bench.

Absolutely not, this is my 1st full year posting plays online for NBA. There is absolutely no way in hell that anyone on earth can just jump into NBA betting for the first time ever and hit 60% for the full year with over 300 plays. I probably hit like 40-45% my first year betting NBA in all honesty. I am happy that happened and that I struggled bad early on, I learned and am still learning so much more from losses than wins.

HoulihansTX · 05-23-10, 11:18 PM

Laker fans are so fickle...

The same day Lakers have the horses to win a ship, within a matter of hours Lakers are regulated to being 2nd best.

Lakers are the defending champs, have homecourt advantage, have Kobe Bryant, and the Great Phil Jackson.

But now they have no chance at the ship.. Amazing, just amazing.

Goat Milk · 05-23-10, 11:20 PM

LB What do you mean who is are boy? You already know the answer to that question and you already know that he will not get shut down like in 08. I already know exactly what the Lakers game plan will be.

Gun to head right now if they played today: Boston wins 4-2.

You haven't seen the real Lakers team yet- you will find that out soon.

ialcire · 05-23-10, 11:22 PM

Lakers ftw

Tell me about the game plan bro.

Goat Milk · 05-23-10, 11:32 PM

I will pm you later tonight I gotta go to my girls house for a little. I know exactly what the game plan is going to be, trust me my man I've been mapping this out in my head since 08 as well.

sweetjones55 · 05-23-10, 11:34 PM

Kobe will never forget the 2008 NBA Finals game 6 and this fact, The 39-point margin of victory was the largest ever in an NBA championship-clinching game. He played like complete crap in that series. This time the Lakers have home court though.

can you tell me the game plan too? i'm about to put a big bet with my friend about the championship

Snowball · 05-23-10, 11:34 PM

Lots of perceptive comments here especially by shoebox.
Guys no matter if you think LA will beat Boston, as a bettor they are not a sharp wager.
The payout is simply not there. If you think you can pick and choose on a per-game basis that is pure gambling.
Celtics or nothing is the only sharp play for the Larry O'Brien trophy this year.
If you're going to involve HOPE and FAITH in your wager, may as well GET VALUE for it and Boston is where the value is.

zogdog · 05-23-10, 11:38 PM

I agree Boston will win, but don't think the Lakers losing this game had much to do with it.

zert · 05-23-10, 11:39 PM

I was wanting lakers to win sunday
