If you guys lose and you complain about the fouls I will have no respect for you. If you guys pull this finals out, I will congratulate you without complaint. You will have deserved it running the best record and taking home the LOB trophy.
The better team will win this series no doubt and there is no way I'm gonna crown D Stern or referres with having any fn' influence on this series. No excuses! May the best team win.
I really think after this long layoff that it's a huge advantage to the C's playing at home and the Celts getting over twice on the Lakers this season. As well as the Lakers being a little rusty. If the Celts lose that first game at home it's gonna mess with their psyche big time, pulling that home court out from under them in game 1. Truly all the pressure is on the C's IMO.
I think the Lakers have many advantages: the backcourt (Cassell, House Ray vs. Kobe, Farmar, DFish, Sasha), the bench; yes a bit overrated, but a solid young hard playing group that run the offense at times as efficient as the starters. Turiaf, Ariza, and Sasha are three out of our four best defenders on the team running second squad. Our bench offense has struggled a bit in this postseason, but one thing is for sure there defense doesn't suffer they are still suffocating folks at times. If Kobe has the right matchup he's gonna improvise and pull out of the offense. The Lakers bench stays within the offense.
Other advantages: The Celts can't play that overplaying zone as much vs. the Lakers we have too many weapons and too many shooters for them to get away with that; this a'int Cleveland baby! PJax V's Doc, We are deeper and younger, we are the best passing team in the L, as well as the best offensively.
All that being said KG has really stepped his game up, especially last series, Pierce is playing fantastic a tough guard for the Lakers, Posey is playing liek he was 3 years ago, and KPerkins I like that cat, he's a hard nosed dude. You guys have homecourt, the best D in the league (again if you are able to play that overplaying zone vs. us I would be very surprised), and now you got rest. Rondo is playing solid, but he's gotta go against the players rep D Fish and JFar who have gone thru the gauntlet of the best pg's in the league, sans CP3. One last thing in your two wins we didn't have yet, Pau Gasol.
Lastly props to the Boston board you show more hunger than the Lakers board at this point. You all are damn angry, but props to you for debating your takes on the series vs. ours. Really is getting me pumped for the series. I love that we are playing the Celts again, especially with our correct fitting shorts this time round.
Let's tip this ball off damn Thursday can't come soon enough!
Lakers in 4 if the Lakers win game 1, Lakers in 5 if the C's win game 1
