That would work out nicely, except Obama did pick the NCAA Men's Basketball Champion correctly last year.

I do hope the Suns win though. Easier opponent for Boston.

Really? I have family all over Boston. They'd like nothing better than a chance to beat the best team in the league. Beating the Suns would be like winning by forfeit.....fuck that shit! Bring on the Lake Show!!!!

Celtics/Lakers = Old School Classic - ratings blockbuster.
Celtics/Suns = ratings disaster- Charles Barkley bloviating....bleck!! .

I agree. I've never liked the "easier opponent" deal. When I followed the NBA as a Bulls fan back in the day, I always wanted the Knicks. wouldn't have been right any other way. it'd have been almost like cheating.
plus, Boston vs the lakers is a tradition.

Here's hoping Boston can finish it out in Boston for Game 6.

Looks like Orlando and Phoenix both decided to make it a series.........

The Lakers DOMINATED the Celtics in game 1. It wasn't even close either. The Celtics never showed up, they fell behind early and never caught up.

Phil Jackson's record in playoff series after winning game 1.... 47-0
OUCH!!! Deal with it.


Good Luck Sunday - I will be there!! WooHoo!!!!

 

[rikules]

who ya takin?

i meant to post this before the series started;

lakers in 5

I'm a celtics fan but I think;

a. kobe REALLY WANTS IT more than the celtics do

b. the lakers REALLY WANT IT more than the celtics do

c. pierce, allen and garnett are a little too old and inconsistant

d. the backup role players are too inconsistant


if the celts, as a team, play their absolute best in 4 games then they could pull it out.

but I don't see that happening.

they could win 1
they might win 2...

but that's it.

Good Luck Saturday - I will be there!! WooHoo!!!!

the next game is sunday, not saturday.

I agree with you that the lakers will win it...

however

1 game does not a series make.

MANY times we've seen team A dominate team B in 1 game and then turn around and be dominated in the next.

Not this time. Lakers will go up 2-0 after Sunday. The Celtics are a great franchise, but this is not their year.
