Backdoor ing sweep...Jordan did it to the Lakers back in the day..maybe it's Boston's turn.
There's no way that happens. Bynum is starting to assert himself now. Lakers win at least one in Boston.
This is going the distance. Book it.
Stop disrespecting the Lakers. Boston at least in 6.
Doubt Boston can win 3 in a row at home...which would be 4 games in a row. Probably going 6-7 games now
I have a feeling his knee is going to swell up for Tuesday's game. He'll be a non factor again.
Detroit did it in 2004.Why not? Boston is a great team.Cleveland and Orlando were a better team than the Lakers but Boston won against them.
But it will be difficult to win 3 straight games
Just in time tlong. Work your magic for the Lakers.
no. Boston MIGHT win 1 more game unless KG somehow turns the clocks back. Pierce hasn't done all series either(Ron Artest is the main reason why). We won thanks to a strong first half from Ray Allen and Rondo's 4th quarter performance. Celts better get production out of KG or they have no chance in of winning this series.
The Pistons did it in '04 against the most dysfunctional team to ever make the finals (at least to my knowledge) and the Heat did it in '06 against the most mentally fragile team to ever make the finals (at least to my knowledge). Short of that, I've yet to see a team without home court sweep the middle three games of the finals.
It's a huge disadvantage for the team without home court and needs to be changed. Also, if you're the team with home court, you should never at any point in the series have played less home games.
All the Celtics did by winning game 2 is give themselves a chance to win this series. In a 2-3-2 format, the team without home court must win one of the first 2, so long as they're not playing against a joke opponent. This is because it's almost a given that the team without home court (in this case, the Celtics) will lose at least one game at home. Now, even if they do lose a game at home, they'd still set themselves up to have two chances to close it out on the road.
Bynum is about to take a cross-country flight during which his knee will probably swell up.
IF the reffing was decent it would be celtics in 5...
but because of the refs---it will have to be celtics in 6
I still think the Lakers will win, but I'll say this: If the Celtics win this series, it goes down as not only one of the most improbable runs to a championship, but also one of the most impressive. They'll have taken down four All-NBA first team members and probably the consensus four best players in the league, as well as taken down the top three contenders for the championship and done so without the benefit of home court in each case. It's already been an impressive run, but a finals win would make it an incredible run.
I hope he's not out of gas, but he looks pretty bad out there..

If he can show up though, it's Boston's to lose.
Boston in 7. Ray Allen as Finals MVP or maybe Ray Allen and Nate Robinson as Co-MVPs.
I could see the Lakers taking it in 5 before the Celtics. Garnett and Pierce are playing like a pile of dog .
KG can't matchup with Gasol at this stage of their careers. The Celtics need more than what he can give. Pierce and Allen will need to carry the load scoring if they want to win. KG is not going to suddenly rejuvenate himself.

The Celtics won in 08 because their front line dominated the Lakers. Based on what I have seen the first two games that is not going to happen this time. Bynum and Gasol outplaying KG and Perkins and Artest having the ability to defend Pierce will be the difference this time.
They're going to Boston now. You're likely to see that FT differential reversed.
It was reversed in game 1.
Boston in 6
Celtics aren't coming into LA and winning a game 6 or 7. They better close it out in 5.
Right...because we all know the Lakers don't lose at home in the playoffs...oh, wait...
