Kobe vs Celtics

[Goodfellas]

Several sources are reporting that LeBron will go to Minnesota and play with Kevin Lobe, which automatically makes Minnesota the best team in the West. Laker dominance is over.

I predict the Celtics will self-destruct in the finals. They showed a few signs against the magic... then again, Artest might self-destruct too... so... you never know.

[Goodfellas]

I agree you never know when Artest will go in the stands and punch a white teenager.

Go BOSTON! Crush the Fakers early!

I hate to say it but LA gonna win.

I hate to say it but LA gonna win.

LA has matchup problems all over the place, starting at the point.

Yes, Kobe's the best player in the game, but for every great play he makes - and there will be plenty - Ray Allen will be depositing a 3.

Even moreso than the Phoenix series, this series comes down to what Artest and Odom get done. We need Fisher and Farmar to continue to knock down open looks, but if Vujacic can't slow down Rondo, it could be a long series for LA.

The good thing is that the Celtics play a brand of basketball that doesn't have them raining 3s from all sorts of angles on every possession possible. Especially given their age, their game plays more into the style the Lakers would like to play.

This could go 7, meaning its imperative that the Lakers win the first 2. They don't want to be in a position where they HAVE to win in Boston.

LA for me look more fresh but on the other hand Boston play harder and that will be a problem for skinny LA.
I just can't see Boston win in LA i Hope i'm wrong but that's what i feel.

If Brian Scalabrine shut down LeBron he will DESTROY Kobe.

Should be a good series. I don't foresee any blowouts.

Already got my bets in with my local Laker Homies.

As much as it pains me to see either of these 2 teams in the final, I always have to take sides with Boston in this matchup

I disagree! But not as much as others. Expect a 10 page response after the Celtics go up 2-0!!

LOL

Maybe I should've said he's the best still playing, because he is.

You have to back Boston because you're white.

All i know is that this year finals will be better then last year.

2-0? Don't get too carried away.

But, wouldn't that be sweet?

In this upcoming series, I GUARANTEE LA will not win in Phoenix.

That`s not what all the experts I`ve talked to are saying.
