Can Lakers Win One In Boston??

[VTranX]

Boston tends to do better on the road then at home, we'll see.

[Unicorn7]

who knows?.maybe lakers win all 3 in Boston. All I know for sure is that we have a great series to look forward to after Bostons`s win in LA last night

[Bostongambler]

Allen had 32 but you also saw KG and Pierce go 4-16.

not in the 2010 playoffs dude. 7-2 at home, 6-4 on the road

[LT Profits]

LAL will not win 2 games in Boston
Boston has better bench, better coaching, if Garnett is healthy I cant say LAL starters are better than Boston. Boston plays championship style(defense, half court), they will impose their way on the LAL.
One more thing, Odom is again a no show just like in 2008, ****ing retard.

No way Celtics are a better team than the Lakers, this is the best Laker team in a decade. And I don't get why everyone thinks Boston has the much better defense, Lakers are just as good. The only reason Laker games are higher scoring is because they play at a faster pace. Each team is allowing an identical 1.04 points per possession this year.

And to even think Doc Rivers is a better coach than Phil Jackson is well....well....well.....there are no words.

Doc is 1-0 vs the overrated Phil Jackson in the championships
LAL were favored to win it all 2 years ago too and didnt, Boston covered all 6 games

[Fishhead]

90% of America is pulling for the Celtics......let's hope they win it all, if not in Boston, in the Staples jailyard.

[Fishhead]

Doc is 1-0 vs the overrated Phil Jackson in the championships
LAL were favored to win it all 2 years ago too and didnt, Boston covered all 6 games

....and DOC clearly outcoached Phil in that series.

..........and since then Phil has become even more senile, so the edge definetly goes to Doc over Phil in this series.

I don't like the Lakers, but I feel sorry for Phil, at times he doesn't even know where he is at I don't believe.........he is lucky to have a host of quality assistants by his side.

[yunnusan]

They definetely will

[Weber]

Boston is taking it again.

[ChileCheese]

they will def win 1. Book it Dano.

[Kemalettin]

im on boston...

Means nothing, Celtics were clearly superior team two years ago and books overrated Lakers in Finals.

Not the same thing this year, Lakers are the better team, so if Doc beats Phil this time, I'll give Doc credit.

But he won't.

[obamaismyuncle]

I expect the lakers to win 2 in Boston

No. Boston wins and it will not be close.

[jjgold]

Boston seems very confident which worries me

I am puzzled now about the series

So which ever team wins the championship is the best team, right?

Why does it worry you? Do you have a huge bet on the Lakers pending?

[dimon]

LA will win this series

[Scorpion]

Phil Jackson would never do what Doc Rivers did

But he won't.

LT Profits you are slowly showing your lack of NBA knowledge. You only know abotu capping. Rivers is a better coach than Phil Jackson- end of story. He makes better adjustments, is smarter, and knows how to motivate his guys more. If your boy Phil Jackson was so smart how come he started the game with Fisher on Ray Allen when I said days earlier that this would bite him in the ass?

If an NBA hood rat fan like me can point this out ahead of time, why can't a 10-ring champion like Phil? Seriously I don't get why you call this guy the Zen Master because Popovich WOULD NEVER put Fisher on Allen TO START A GAME. There's a big difference between putting him on Allen to start a game or in the middle of a game. Big difference.

And Phil isn't going to beat Rivers this year. Bryant is going to beat him. Get your facts straight.

[Scorpion]

phil jackson got everything handed to him in his life. michael jordan and scottie pippen on a silver platter...kobe and shaq...kobe and gasol.

[pats3peat]

of course accofding to this board which is mostly people who dont watch and just assume the lakers are great every year

[pats3peat]

id bet a lot of money he does, no other reason hed make the thread

I knew there was a reason why I liked you Fishy You a funny guy

To have confidence is a sin in JJ's world..............

[jpowderly]

yes Lakers will win one in Boston

[LT Profits]

Correct, and Lakers will win this series.

[LT Profits]

Did I miss a joke somewhere? There is no doubt Celtics were the better team in '08, the Lakers were false favorites in the finals. The Lakers are the better team team this year, and they will prove it.

And yet I win in NBA every year. Why is that?

I gotta admit though that I HATE watching NBA and would never watch a regular season game if I didn't have action on it. This final series has much more appeal from a fan's perspective though. Still, as a fan, I'll take college hoops and hockey any day over NBA.

extremely true. better defensive team and had home court advantage. i had a ton on that series, it was my biggest nba finals series wager in a long time. +180 was the opening number i got. fukkin killed it on that one

[samdapatriotsfan]

I think a guy could start to do the Pyramid style betting on the MONEY LINE for the lakers and end up some ahead. They will win 1 of the 3 for sure.

You may be onto something here.

But you need a substantial bankroll to make it work. Each game BOS wins at home is gonna increase the Lakers' line. Lakers +125 GM 3, if they lose..GM 4 might be something like Lakers +100 or even -105. If they lose game 4 the game 5 line will probably not have much value unless you can lay a substantial bet.

Just my .02

[traxmub]

Lakers can win Boston very easy

Thats why I said your a good capper.

Knowing NBA is different son.

[dbldown]

If Allen/Rondo play the way they did in #2. LA won't win another game period. But I doubt that will happen, Just wishful thinking.
