Raps in 4?

Boston, no question. Heat give the Lakers fits and would have HCA.

between the 2? i'd rather go against the Celtics. Would be GREAT if we beat Miami though.

I think the better question is: Who would you rather play in the finals? Chicago or Miami? Although i still feel that it'll be another Lakers/Celtics finals, Chicago will most likely be in the ECF. And unless the Big 3 and Rondo step it up, Miami will too.

Why is this even a question. Not only will the Lakers be able to win their 17th title against their most hated rivals, but they will have home court with it. The Heat? Well, if they are to lose the series, the worlds a better place anyway.

You guys over react to the heat regular season wins. we blew out the hornets with david west 3 times and won the fourth time, a sweep, and they got two wins off us in the playoffs. Both teams are completely different and playoff basketball is different.

kind of surprised we're in the minority, but i agree.

that being said, i think both boston and chicago are good matchups for us, as well. I don't think any team from the east can beat us 4 out of 7 games, regardless of HCA.

Last year I felt we needed HCA, we were much better at home than on the road.

but this year, I've felt, without exception, the lakers always play better on the road, and that includes this playoffs.
