This thread is joke for the simple fact the lakers have the better bench..and yes celtics fan they will win 4-2. With L.A's better supporting cast with there own big three in Kobe,Odom,Gasol which Kobe is the best player in the series and didn't the same celtics team have trouble with lebron and bunch of nobodys.

Bench is sick for L.A don't underestimate that group is much more elite then celtics Luke Walton over Posey anyday,House is one dimensial and Farmar is better then him to and more of pure pg,Turiaf/Powe are equal both give great energy off the bench. Turiaf is better then old P.J Brown though.

Fisher is going to eat rondo up with his 5th finals appearance, experience matters at the highest level and fisher is clutch. There both just as talented but at this stage fisher knows what it takes to win a title.

Just to play devil's advocate:
Celtics bench scoring in postseason: 21.5
Lakers bench scoring in postseason: 25.3

I don't think you can possibly say the Celtic's bench is clearly better. We have some nice roleplayers, but Posey is the only one who is significant beyond simply giving the starters rest (for his defense).

At best it's a tossup.

Can someone explain to me why the Lakers fans have such a huge obsession with Ronny Turiaf and say he is better than Powe, when in reality there is absolutely NO meaningful stat category in which Turiaf exceeds Powe's? Cheerleading choreography is not a stat, and if it were anyways, SCAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Turiaf!

Posey is clearly better than Walton, anyway who says otherwise loses a bit of credibility.

I thought it was kinda funny how Boston thinks they're all of a sudden so much better than the rest of the league when they struggled against all the teams on the road. Not to mention the Hawks, which we're supposedly joke teams to them by the way, and Boston Celtics fans (99% of them anyways) were claiming a sweep... then came Cleveland, and it led to another game seven.

I highly doubt the Boston Celtics will beat the Lakers. Like I've been saying, it's funny how Boston fans think that the Lakers are underdogs. This thread just makes it hilarious.

Sounds like a ghost stat to me.
Posey is better then every player on the Laker bench.
I think that's a given.

Calculated it. Looked at the postseason stats for Lakers and Celtics, and added up the PPG of the bench players.

Not perfect since not everyone played all the games, but pretty close.

I'm an Atlanta Hawks fan and unofficially a Celtic fan hater. Well, I should actually put the word 'bandwagon' before the 'fan' because all of a sudden, every one in New England is a Boston Celtics fan.

Wow... that reminds me of the time where the Boston Red Sox had a sudden increase of population in their fanbase... Hmm...

Don't be a nitwit, son:

Phillip's Arena for the past 10 years:

Phillip's Arena when the Celtics showed up:

Ba-ba-ba--baaaa-baaaaaaandwagon!!!

It was actually 1967, the impossible dream summer. That was the year that Red Sox caught the hearts and the minds of a new generation (the baby boomer's) of Red Sox fans. Attendance has been great since then.
