    Historically - The Lakers are virtually done!

    From day 1 of the playoffs I have said the Lakers will get to the finals and back then I have said will lose in 6 to the Cavs. When the Cavs lost I said the Lakers will win in 7 against the Celtics. Now down 3-2 heading back to truly important games, we always look at the stats to see if there is still a chance:

    - 40 times a team had a 3-2 lead, 34 times that team won it all.
    - Since 1994 when the amazing Rockets came back from 2-3 to win it all, all eight times the team down 2-3 have lost.

    In the other hand, since the change to 2-3-2 teams coming home down 3-2 have won twice, Rockets of 94 and LA in 88. But lost 4 times ...

    I still think the Lakers are better, but if Gasol and Odom won't wake up, this will end tonight.

    If my prediction is right and so far everygame is was right, the Lakers win games 6 and 7.

    Lakers will pull this out. Kobe will rise to the occasion.

    Not up to Kobe, he did his share. It is up to Gasol and Odom. For Lakers to lose rebound battle, it is just no excuse.

    Yeah, so 2/6, or 33.333...%. Not done, virtually or otherwise.

    Kobe/Phil have never lost a series when winning game 1 and game 3.

    Good for Kobe and Phil, Cs have never blown a championship game while being up 3-2. 11-0.

    Cs all day.

    With all these stats, it's pretty much a toss up to which trends will continue. I have my $$$ that a game 7 will be necessary. BOL everyone!

    Historically Kobe has never lost a series when he drank Muscle Milk before elimination games. Fact.

    Fisher needs to do a better job on rondo... Kobe will be kobe... Boston are a good away team... This game is a flip of a coin... I probably going to regret it but I took Boston.. Just a gut feeling
