Seriously?

celtics will get killed. 4-1...4-2 tops

The big 3, and others on tha team are old and never got their rings, and played intense the entire year, and are a TRUE TEAM, and you think Kobe who has a handfull already wants it more? WAYYY more intense on the greener side.

imho

Celtics is by far the better team with Ray Allen hitting shots they will walk through the Lakers. KG is Gasol times 5. Celtics have 3 hall of famers, Lakers have 1.

Celtics in 5. Home court advantage is HUGE.

If you put a gun to my head i say Celtics

Mr KLC · 05-30-08, 10:38 PM

Home court has worked well for the Celtics so far.

BTW this will be the finals matchup for the next 3 years. This is the only year the Celtics will win though because Lakers add Bynum next year.

Means nothing you never explain yourself. These will be the 2 best teams in the NBA for the next few years. The Lakers will start winning championships next year. Every thing I said was good to go

Lakers win in 6.

I agree, LA in 5 or 6.

Iwinyourmoney · 05-30-08, 11:51 PM

Miami Heat in 9

gordon gekko · 05-30-08, 11:55 PM

Lakers = easy money They will destroy the celtics.

Lakers in 5.

They will steal one of the first two games in Boston, and then win all three games at home.

LT Profits · 05-31-08, 12:41 AM

WileOut, Mr KLC,

The problem is that the LAKERS will actually have the home court advantage through the first five games, so if LA steals one of the first two games in Boston, I think the series is over. If the Celtics bring series home for Games 6 and 7, then we have a toss up.

Ganchrow · 05-31-08, 05:57 AM

Based solely on current game 1 and series odds (and extrapolating to games 2-7) the following are first-order approximations of the likelihoods of the 8 possible outcomes to the nearest quarter-percent:

Boston in 4: 2.25%
Boston in 5: 4.25%
Boston in 6: 14.5%
Boston in 7: 20.75%

LA in 4: 7.75%
LA in 5: 24%
LA in 6: 14.25%
LA in 7: 12%

Probabilities don't sum exactly to 1 due to rounding.

I'll reiterate that these are just very rough estimates and are even at best no more accurate than the underlying market odds on which they were based. As the odds continue to fluctuate so too will these numbers.

jjgold · 05-31-08, 07:30 AM

If Allen plays well Celts win in 6.

mundane · 05-31-08, 07:47 AM

too tough.

if u like lakers, bet half a unit on the spread. and then be square on game 2 and go whole unit with the lakers +pts.

ill never bet against my lakers, so yeah... game 1 - half a unit for me only. whole unit for the under.

edit: i thought we were talking about game 1 here. duhh!

to answer ur question... IT'S GONNA BE LAKERS! in 5/6 games! bilid dat!

ManOfValue · 05-31-08, 01:05 PM

How can anybody say the Lakers want it more than 3 vets who have been starving on losing teams all their lives....Hmmm

I dont think Boston will lose to the Lakers at home. And if Boston wins the first 2 games at home, the Lakers will have to win all 3 in LA to even have a shot. Because if Boston wins both at home and steals 1 in LA, all they have to do is win 1 of the final 2 at home. I just dont see the Lakers winning 3 straight against Boston, even if it is at LA.

Allen has found his game and now Boston should roll. Also, LA has a serious size/physicallity disadvantage against Boston. They dont matchup well with Boston. Boston should control the boards.

But thats why they play the games as they say, it will be interesting. Good luck
