Boston in 5?

Celtics aren't coming into LA and winning a game 6 or 7. They better close it out in 5.

Im sure Lakers will win atleast one more game.

It's a tale of two games. I think if the Lakers are able to play like they did in the second half, they will pull out one or two wins in Boston. If the Lakers play as frantic and unproductive as they did in the first half, the Celtics have a good chance to end this series. It just depends on which Lakers team shows up.

Bynum was playing hard, but he wasn't always effective.

Goods, precision style.

Right...because we all know the Lakers don't lose at home in the playoffs...oh, wait...

If it's a must win game they won't lose at home.

Celtics will win in 5. The overrated one will have lost to the Celtics with a supporting cast twice that of the chosen one. We're heading for another sub 50% shooting finals by Kobe, lets act surprised

LOL. That's why the Cavs have had the best record two years in a row. They somehow manage to win the most games with an inferior supporting cast. Keep telling yourself that. That's called Lebron ain't winning when it matters denial.

This series isn't over my friends.

The only way the Lakers can lose this series is if Ray Allen can replicate his performance 3 more times this series. Let's be honest, Paul Pierce isn't the player he was in 2008, and I don't expect him to have any big games this series. Kevin Garnett isn't a threat to the Lakers, offensively or defensively. Rajon Rondo can put up numbers, they just need to keep playing him the way they are playing and actually put a body on him for rebounds.

Anyone who watched the game tonight knows the refs decided the outcome of the game. Yes, the first 3 quarters were horrible for both teams but 2 straight horrible calls on Kobe Bryant has consequences on both offense and defense. They all of a sudden become extremely predictable on offense and with Kobe and Ron Artest with 5 fouls, it becomes near impossible to guard anyone on the Celtics that penetrates. The 2 key players in this series are Kobe(obviously) and Ray Allen. Like I said in game 1, after the 2 foul calls early on Ray Allen the game was over right then and there (and i'll be the first to admit those were 2 borderline bad calls).
