Expert picks

[John from Hemet]

Come on.....I know all you celtic fans were watchin after the WCF and how the lakers didn't even want to take the WCF trophy home. There is no way Kobe Bryant is going to allow this lakers team to get overconfident like that.

Well we will see how it all works out. I like the C's chances. Like I said I hope that this "C's have no chance" stuff rubs off on the Lakers. You believe it - why not the Lakers?

Pete

Two things Pete....

Because fans can afford to fill that way.....just like celtic fans think their bench is better.....matchups all favor the celts except for Kobe......play better defense.....that Perkins will overpower soft Pao Gasol.....that is a fans thinking and they have a right to it as fans.....

2nd....I do NOT think the celtics have no chance.....they had the best record in the league......have home court advantage.....they are pretty healthy even though that have been extended to long series.......they play good defense and can score......and basically anything can happen.

I really think this is going to be a good series.

^round up of all the bloggers' picks for the finals, well most of 'em.

dare we rub it in their faces?

Have they not notice our dominance at home especially in the first 2 games? Does anyone how the good the Laker D is because we have already battled two good defensive teams in the Cavs and Pistons and our's prevailed and we all know what wins championships.

Why do people on this board keep saying that the Cavs are a good defensive team? I also heard that Atlanta was a good team period...I want some of the water you guys drink.

To Those expert believe Lakers will win BIG SLAPPED on their face. IAN Thomsen are more credible than those expert on the first page.

LOL @ idiots who write for ESPN. Everyone knows defense wins championships, and despite what stats may show, everyone should know when u have Garnett, Allen and Pierce on one team, with Rondo to get the ball to them, offense isn't going to be a problem

[GreenGrizz]

Give me a high five slap!

[Truthiracy]

Abbott and Stein already wrong

[jfs1000d]

The worst one was the LA based Rich Bucher. He has no idea what he is talking about. He was smirking about how it is going to be a short series.

This was also the guy that scoffed at Boston getting KG in the offseason., He kept on saying that it made zero sense. This guy has no idea what he is talking about. LOL.

Crow tastes better with a pinch of salt.

ESPN should fire every single so called expert.

Ok, maybe that would be a little too harsh, but you have got to get rid of SAS. I actually started to like this guy when he became a believer of the celtics. Saying before the season stated that the celtics, would win the finals. But then he lost belief after a 60+ win season.

Seriously, this guy's time on espn has run it's course. He needs to go.

Forget about the experts. More than half the time, they don't know ****.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We still have one more to win. After that, you guys can talk all the trash you want about them.
