Really don't see the Lakers losing in the Finals

[nin666]

The Celtics Big Three is only really a Big Two since Ray Allen has been sucking most of these playoffs. He makes Luke Walton look like the GOAT. And the Celtics bench is even worse than the Spurs bench.

The Pistons are such an up-and-down team that would lose to a more consistent team like the Lakers. Billups doesn't hit the big shots like he used to (witness last year's playoffs), and Rasheed is nowhere to be found in crunch time.

Compared to the Spurs, Pistons and Celtics are :

- Younger
- Healthier
- Hungrier
- Deeper

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

The Celtics will rape the Lakers harder than Kobe rapes. The Truth owns the Lakers like no other...how do you think he became The Truth? His dominance over his hometown. Lakers got no one who can stop him from going Game 7 of the Cleveland series on their ass.

The Pistons may very well beat the Celtics, but the Lakers don't stand a chance.

[Lake_show]

Ray Allen on Kobe? HAHAHA

[florige]

KG is going to have his first title this year. The Pistons are done. Maybe with a healthy Chauncey.....

[dbreiden83080]

I do. Spurs beat them with a healthy Manu no doubt about it in my opinion. Gasol is fucking the softest thing i have ever seen. I think it is the Celts and if Pierce and KG play well and Allen hits his shots they will win the series. Celts are a great Defensive team

Manu was so injured in this series it is insane.

[icem]

Ray Allen on Kobe? HAHAHA

ray allen usually plays very well against kobe....

[balli]

ray allen usually plays very well against kobe....


Not defensively. And not since 04-05 really.

Don't make excuses... Manu isn't. The softest guy you've ever seen just held Tim Duncan to 43% on FGs for the series and tonight grabbed 19 rebounds over him.

[Tigole Bitties]

KP43 will destroy the Lakers

[Lake_show]

Kobe to get 30+ a game, and we have Gasol now.

[ChumpDumper]

I see their losing.

[JamStone]

Lakers have a great chance against either the Celtics or the Pistons.

However, I don't think it's in the bag against either.

[KobeOwnsBowen]

Lakers will own both teams. It's our time as it always should be. LakerDynasty 2008-2011 here we come.

[Dim Tuncan]

2004 taught me my lesson. Celts and Pistons will both match up very well with the Lakers, albeit in different ways.

[JamStone]

Both Boston and Detroit are actually better defensively than the Spurs this year. Neither has a guy like Bruce Bowen, but in terms of team defense, they are superior. And, while not extraordinarily athletic, overall, both of those teams are more athletic than the current Spurs. Plus, both of those teams have HCA in the Finals.

Lakers definitely have a great shot at winning it all. Obviously, it's 50/50 for them at this point. The Spurs were great champions, but I don't think this Spurs team is a better team than either the Celtics or the Pistons, especially a Spurs team with Manu as wounded as he was.

Should be a pretty entertaining and very competitive Finals whoever comes out of the East.

[nkdlunch]

Lakers will wipe the floor with the Celtics.

[mytespurs]

Didn't the Celtics Blow out the Lakers in both games this year?


I know they werew 0-2 against the Celtics this year; not sure if the games were blow outs or not. But....that shouldn't matter now....the Lakers are playing much better than they were during the season.

[DazedAndConfused]

I feel much better about playing the Pistons than I do the Celtics.

We just don't matchup well at all with the Celtics. Their defense is better than the Spurs and we have no answer for Pierce or Garnett. As bad as the Celtics have been in the playoffs I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable playing the Pistons, despite their championship experience.

[LakeShow]

I would rather see the Lakers play the Celtics.

What the hell are you on? Manu isn't a franchise player and don't use excuses when lakers were without their starting center all post season....

are you kidding me? lakers have pau and turiaf to fill bynum's void. who does the spurs have in place of manu? brent? finley?

[m33p0]

btw, lakers are so screwed. garnett is CLUTCH! --- says the gaytorade commercial.

Who's freaking fault is that? Spurs front office...don't use that as a freaking excuse...fact is lakers weren't healthly either and were missing a 13,10 and 2 guy inside.

[Banzai]

Didn't the Celtics Blow out the Lakers in both games this year?

The spurs did also right? regular season was 2-2

[TampaDude]

Celtics are toast...Lakers = 2008 NBA Champions...Kobe finally gets a ring without Shaq...Boston fans cry...

[Spurs da champs]

I really don't see the lakers beating the celts KG is defiantly probably the most athletic power foward and a good defender I see him taking gasol out of his game and don't forget Kenderick Perkins guy rarely scores but he is a monster literally and on the boards,The celts also have Paul Pierce and Ray Allen (allen being one of the best shooters in the game) and pierce a great player overall. It would be interesting to see who the celts put on Kobe and if odom might play against pierce who is smaller or perkins who has power but not as quick as odom by a long shot.
The celtic's big three should neutralize kobe and they probably will do what the spurs did make him a jump shooter and don't foul him,I say let kobe score but neutralize everybody else. I'm no fan of the celts but I hate the lakers a lot.
So I hoping the celtics win.

[MateoNeygro]

i don't want the lakers to win but my prediction is laker:fishing:fishings in 6.:fishing

[tlongII]

Should be a great series. I'm looking forward to it.
