NBA Finals Prediction

[eastcoastchron]

I think the Lakers will take the series even if it goes 7 games. From watching game one I can say I don't like the way the refs allowed the Lakers to get ruffed up and there was no foul called. Don't worry , we will return the favor in LA! :P

[eastcoastchron]

you are correct, the Boston Refs kept the Lakers in the penalty!

They made sure the Celtics would stay at the free throw line!

[Arctic Blast]

While it has been proven that the home team gets more calls, it certainly didn't help that LA seemed to be playing a very passive game. If you won't go in to the lane, you won't get foul calls.

[eastcoastchron]

this is very true

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

I'm a Celtics fan and I HOPE they win, but I really think LA has the better team and they cause us a lot more match-up problems than we do to them. They also have the biggest match-up advantage since we don't have anyone that is suited that well to play D on Kobe. I say Lakers in 7, but I'll hold out hope for the Celtics. Its gonna be a great series one way or the other.

This is an amazing misconception, In fact NO ONE has anyone suited to play D on Kobe. the only way to stop them is team D. No team in the NBA this year has show to have a stronger team D than the Celts. Meaning, conversely, that the Cs are actually the BEST team suited to handle Kobe (as they've proven in all 3 games they've played this year)

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Thats true, I suppose. I still think the Lakers will win though, as much as I want Boston to win.

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Of course, I go and say the Lakers will win and the Celtics come out and play some of the best basketball they've played all season :P.

Celtics in 7

[dickay]

I'm going to predict the Celtics win game two. I was right on the first one, don't doubt me.

[jcbarr]

I'm still sticking with Boston in 6, and as of right now that prediction is looking pretty good. If they steal one in LA and then head back to Boston to take two. It's gonna be pretty hard for LA at this point. They have to take all three at home and then hope to get one in Boston, either that or take two at home and then 2 in Boston. I don't see that happening.

lakers are going to lose it all

[nuzzy62]

The Celtics are going to win at least two games! I'd bet on it!

D- for originality

I thought the Celtics could have won Game 3. However, they seemed content with a close lose? No foul at the end and poor defense on Kobe? They looked content when they could have tried a little harder and pulled out a win and pretty much ended the series after taking a 3-0 series lead.
