Boston/Lakers Who Will Win??

[excel]

Gonna be a very good match.

[mundane]

most of the games will be played after ONLY 1 day of rest. only games 2 and 5 will have 2 days of rest. who do u think favors this schedule??? i doubt it's the celtics.

barring injuries, lakers wins this series!

[wikkidinsane]

Celtics in 5. fISHER GETTING Rondoed all night and KG knocking down those mid-jumpers. Who are they putting on Ray Allen? That person is going to be really tired

[nastradamus]

Lakers in 7

[Foals]

Celtics in 7

Celtics in 5. fISHER GETTING Rondoed all night and KG knocking down those mid-jumpers. Who are they putting on Ray Allen? That person is going to be really tired

errrr... let's see:

is rondo better than westbrook, deron williams or steve nash? OR is he more like the same as them? btw 'them' all have been contained by the lakers.
kg midjumpers? again, more of the same! boozer and amare ring a bell?
ray allen? again, more of the same! durant, korver and all the suns shooters ring any bell?

i must admit, celtics looks really solid! but this aint the lakers they defeated 2 yrs ago.

the more i look at it, the more i think the lakers have been polished to face and win against the celtics this year. not to mention the revenge angle, the homecourt advantage, phil getting his rematch w/ doc (heck, he even asked paul pierce to step it up a year ago so they meet up again) and yeah let's not forget kobe wanting to solidify his legacy!

i could be wrong but these are my observations and im sticking with it!

BOL to all!

[Scorpion]

Celtics in 6

Rondo over Fisher
Pierce over Artest
Perkins vs Bynum, even
KG vs Gasol, even
Kobe over Allen

Celtics bench is better
Better defense

dont like the 2-3-2 format
dont trust Artest, Odom, Bynum, Gasol

[pilike]

boston!

[TeamTT]

Lakers in 6... Will steal the 6th game in Boston to win title...

[mundane]

game 6 will actually be in LA!

finals format is: 2-3-2

lakers have the homecourt this year as they have a better regular season record than the celtics. so it's:

games 1 & 2 in LA
games 3, 4 & 5 in Boston
games 6 & 7 in LA

*5, 6 & 7 if necessary

[Durrrr]

Lakers in 7.

[psv777ua]

Lakers in 6

[Durrrr]

didn't remember it went 3 home games in a row for lower seed in finals.

[kobefanatic]

didn't remember it went 3 home games in a row for lower seed in finals.

miami in 06

[Mr.Carrot]

I believe in nice final and Lakers WIN in 6 games

[refrain87]

The team that wins is the team J.J doesn't pick.

[PAULYPOKER]

Too close to call I am still going over some stuff

Gasol a different player than he was last time around, bos playing physical wont throw him off his game this time around , Bynum is a big time added bonus, Artest should be more important in this series with his D on Pierce...last time it was pretty much Kobe vs a very good team defense, now he believes in his guys and bos will not be able to just hound kobe without paying for it...still think it should be a good final, Lake Show in 6 maybe 7

Too close to call I am still going over some stuff

Let me know when you figure it out JJ so I can fade you...Oh nevermind I already got my lock fade so you can stop figuring it out and join me because this is guaranteed as Ice in the winter,, you ready?
Never 2DuhBank is on the Fake show,,,,so drum-roll please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

BOSTON!! is

So Ship IT on up to Boston LOCKED!!!!!!

JJ I was just kidding ya 2DuhBank I was tellin ya how it is however I don't fade people but since you are on the opposite side of me this just increased my chances greatly

[thezbar]

I give Boston a shot. Their edge could be in the middle and the bench. Nate Robinson could be a key factor. Also Bynum's health, he isn't moving that well with the knee issues. Boston's three headed middle monster's may be too much for the Laker's if Bynum can't go. The schedule favor's the Laker's plus there is the Kobe and Phil factors. As a lifetime Laker fan I would love to see them win it all. But as player Boston may be the right side to be on.

[fiftyfifty1]

lakers in 4

[BigMama]

I'm going with the Lakers

[Doon88]

...

I think that Boston deserved more...so Boston in 7 game will win this series...))

[RaisyDaisy]

The schedule favors the Lakers in many variables. With no prolonged delays between games, the Lakers will be more up to a high performance. also lets not forget the format of 2-3-2. Lakers should protect home court in the first 2 games. However, Boston has a huge disadvantage with 3 straight at home. They are very vulnerable to drop 1 game or even 2 games there as they don't perform as well than on the road. The size of Odom, Gasol and Bynum with the perimeter D of Artest, Fish and Kobe will cause problems for Boston. Farmar and Vujacic can come in if Fish can't control Rondo, which I think is the only advantage Boston has. Their is no eddie house this time so their is no pest that can control Kobe.

Big Baby Davis will not do as well in this series and Perkins is pretty much a wash with Bynum with Bynum having more offensive firepower. Gasol will eat up Garnet. Pierce in my opinion is trash. I still can't forget that horrible display of sportsmanship by getting taken off the floor only to be like a hero in return. Kobe has an agenda to get another championship and how sweet it is to be facing the Celtics.

Lakers in 5 with them losing game 4.

[PAULYPOKER]

No more vulnerable than the Lakers Long story short no home soil is safe in this series

[Domestic]

Lakers in five.

[jjgold]

Good stuff men

Usually after game 1 you can tell how matchups are

If Kobe struggles in game 1 to get shots like Lebron did then the play will be Boston for the series

[jcubs55]

this one is gonna be fun

[rthoughton]

I gotta go with the East... and Im leaving my home in KY to visit Boston this Friday for my wife's residency interview. Ill be arriving/staying for those home finals games. WOOHOO!
that sure worked out nicely.

[PAULYPOKER]

even though i believe this is La series and they have been unbeatable at home it wouldnt surprise me at all if bos gets 1 of the 1st two in La but La will get 1 or 2 in bos

Here's some edyamacation for ya last 10 times they met they are even at 5-5
Boston won 2of5 at the Staples Temple while LA won 2of5 at Boston...

Boston is stronger by a milestone since regular season while the Fake show is the same or maybe even peaked already and this season they handed each-other defeat on each-others soil so the advantage goes to Boston

[seaborneq]

Boston in 6 if healthy.

[JUST A MAN]

Nobody can stop Kobe. There is no way James is better than Kobe. James choked in the play-offs. We saw what Kobe did.

There is not a truer fact. Lebron is a clear 2nd.

Kobe is something else. A freak...I had to laugh at some of the shots he hits, they are fuucking insane.

[JUST A MAN]

Lakers in 5.

[HauntingTheHoly]

Celtics win each of the first two on buzzer beaters, then route the demoralized lakers in a sweep at home. Taxed.

[bbar86]

Im gonna say Lakers in 6. wouldnt be surprised if it wen to 7 though

[coloradobuff]

lakers in 7

[wrongturn]

lakers in 6. laker is better than 2008 team, while boston is bit weaker.
