Even as a lakers fan I would not tell a celtics fan they dont have a chance......the celts are LOADED with talent and have a great bench. Doc Rivers hasn't made enough mistakes to cause you to lose a series so he is doing a good enough job.

At this point it isn't even about the talent as you could argue that the celts have more overall.....its about how how well the teams are playing together and executing.

We hae a excellent defensive player and slasher in Trever Ariza.....and Phil Jackson wont even play him because he doesn't want to break up the outstanding team chemistry. That is what is all about right now.

This is going to be a close series.

LA is much improved, but people are definitely discounting us. we destroyed them in both matchups this year. granted it was w/out gasol but under that logic the teams should be a little more evenly matched now. even if you assume LA to be slightly better than us we still have the homecourt edge so it looks pretty even overall to me...
