OT:Lakers or Celtics

I know this doesn't belong here but i respect all of your opinions so I wanted to know.

Edit Message
Couple of questions from nuetrul parties so no C's or L's fans and no haters answer please.

1.Who has the better big 5 Wallace-KG-Pierce-Allen-Rondo or Bynum-Gasol-Ron-Kobe-Odom

Best players who are 6-8

Fisher-Brown
Perkins-Davis

Better coach Phil or Rivers

If they play in the finals who wins if you had to bet your life the Lakers or Celtics and both teams are perfectly healthy, Ron doesn't implode and continues to play unselfish like he has all preseason.
He looks like a totally different player. He said he would be like a Pippen and just play D, rebound and pass and only score when wide open and he has been backing that up.
Rondo has really improved and our weak spot is at the pg so that is a big problem to the point were the Lakers would have to play Brown at pg for D I think which is not his game, not even in the triangle.

So unbias thoughts?

Well if it wasn't gonna be the Lakers I would love that.
It's impossible though.

I would like to win 2 championships, Lakers winning it all and Cats making the playoffs, then all games televised and maybe they buck up for a star.

I hope KG and Kobe send each other into retirement.

As for the question, I'm not sure. It's close.

Well I am a Lakers fan and It pains me to say it but the Celtics have the best 5 between the guys you are comparing when you are looking at the type of defense they all play and the versatility they bring on both sides of the ball.

Perkins Davis is a lot better than Fisher and Brown. Not even close.

To me the Celtics have the best starting 5 in the league and a better bench than the Lakers.

LA Lakers
Andrew Bynum
Pau Gasol
Ron Artest
Kobe Bryant
Derek Fisher
-
Lamar Odom
Jordan Farmar
Luke Walton
Shannon Brown
Sasha Vujacic/Josh Powell

Boston Celtics
Kendrick Perkins
Kevin Garnett
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen
Rajon Rondo
-
Rasheed Wallace
Marquis Daniels
Glen Davis
Eddie House
Tony Allen

As for Coaches obviously Phil is great but I've always liked Doc. You could really call it a toss up when it comes down to one series. I think Doc out coached Phil last time the met in the Finals.

If my life depended on it. I'd choose the Celtics because I know they will bring it consistently on the defensive end and they play nasty.

I hope my opinion will change as the season progresses.

Doc lost my respect ever since they openly tanked their season to get Oden.

Umm...what? When did Doc tank to get Oden?

Post #9 » by **fatlever** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 9:25 pm

they tanked it hard that one season before they made the garnett trade. then they got screwed in the draft and ended up with #5 which they traded for ray allen. #5 ended up being jeff green.

Well in 07 they had no Bynum or Ron.

Now the C's have Daniels and Rondo better but the Lakers have Bynum and Ron.

I think that beats out the C's.

For the record - I did not tank. Never.
