the LAKERS ARE NOT BEATING THE CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Orlando---> Play like crap Series against Boston!!!!!

If Orlando play like that, even the SUN will wipe them OUT, forget about Boston.

Don't get me wrong: Boston is the best in the EAST for now.
&
Lakers is the best in the West for now.

Let's not compare and talk trash for either team right Now. Both are playing really Well. IMO: Lakers got more stronger players over-all. Let wait till Game#1 & 2 before bad mouth.........good Luck.  Let just make $$$$ on a better Team....I am a fans of Lakers but if they look weak against Boston.....will I stick with Lakers?? Hell no, it can go either way. Making $$$$$ is the Key. Learn your lesson w/ Orlando.......>This is the play-off.

Mr ENJOY, lets wait until the finals.

Artest went to LA because Trevor Ariza tried to play hardball in negotiating with Buss and it didn't work out.

He hasn't had to stop anyone with the championship pedigree and playoff experience of the Celtics.  Durant is a skinny, playoff rookie.  Artest is NOT doing a good job against the Suns.  The Suns score at will, they just can't stop the Lakers from scoring.

BTW Posey and House are NOT better than the bench rotation of Sheed, Davis and Allen.

Thats why i said yesterday i didn't want to talk BOS/LAL yet.

See ya around.

Didn't doc Rivers also out-coach Phil Jackson in 2008.

I realize the Lakers want to get revenge...but I think Bosto plays with an edge too.....particularly since Lakers will be hyped as bng too big and too much offensive firepower for boston........

Don't under-estimate that Boston will be hungry too.

I atually think kobe and fisher play with an edge or the edge that i think Doc Rivers has about 4 or 5 of his guys playing at. 

This is what i think not the same team from 2 years ago in LA! Artest can guard Pierce match-ups favour LA i think.

Some of you Laker backers talk like Bynum is a 20-10 guy.  I don't get it.  If Howard can't dominate Perkins, what makes you think Bynum and his bum leg will?

Some of you also talk like Pierce is the main key to the Celtics offense.  He's not even their leading scorer in these playoffs!

If Boston had HCA, I'd agree with you.  This Lakers team is quite good at home...

Gasol is a hell of a player, but you can't possibly give him the advantage over Garnett.  Garnett has always punked him when they matchup head to head.......and so far in the playoffs, Garnett has looked like the healthy Garnett of old.    

Another forgotten valuable bench player that the C's had in 08 finals was Leon Powe. 

 

um... you are in for a rude awakening...

KG will make Gasol his bitch, just like he did in 2008... were you not watching?

 

this is not even debatable... this is a huge advantage for the Celtics...

watch...

Haven't you been watching?  The Celtics are absolute BEASTS on the road.

Perkins is one of the best low post defenders in the league, and KG will play physical too.

Odom is a question mark, you never know what you gonna get from him and Gasol will not play with the same intensity as KG or Perkins.

GOOD SHIT ENJOY.....THESE BOSTON FAN'S JUST DON'T KNOW DO THEY?????? BUT TRUST ME THEY WILL SOON ENOUGH....

I dont know about other people but when i talk about a team i do it without favoritism or hate. You have to be ice cold to make money in the NBA.

Bynum isn't playing great and he is hurt.

Gasol is soft.

Odom is a big question mark.

Fisher will be outplayed, out skilled  By Rondo.

Bosont doesn't depends on PP or  a single player to win the the tittle like the lakes do on Kobe.


By the way Mr ENJOY, looks like the people who knows about NBA would take KG over Gasol any day.

I have locked Lakers @5dimes to Win it all at -170!!!!

Like we say in poker:

Your money, Your call.

The Celtics only beat the Lakers by 39 pts in game 6 of the 2008 Finals to win the finals. The Celtics and Lakers pretty have the same startup lineups as they did in 2008. 

Great Defense will always beat a great offense in any sports.

Celtics in 6 or 7..   By the way, I'm not a fan of either team.

Hate them both, but I think Lakers at this point.

Let's not forget what a bitch Pierce is when things don't go his way. Perkins can't score 10 points, Davis can't touch the rim.

While Artest takes worse shots than Fisher, Mo Williams, and Rasheed, he can at least play defense. None of those other guys can.

Phil Jackson is one the best coaches ever, but I cannot understand why Fisher plays when the other team has a PG under the age of 35.

Garnett is the difference in this series. He plays smart and dirty and knows how to get away with it.

Forgot to end my post with:

Thank god for the Blackhawks

wow.... just a simple fictional post leads to so many replies.  Lakers should of had it 2 years ago.... but no excuses.. This time way too stacked.. Bynum and Artest and Brown they have now. 2 years ago no Ariza no Bynum and they only Sasha guarding Allen and Rockmanivich was a douche.  Lakers are too stacked this time.  I would be suprised if Boston took them to 6 games

The thunders took LAL to six games.

The lakers are not the same team from two years ago.  Three reasons why they win this series.  Artest brings toughness, Pierce will have a lot harder time scoring agianst him than Carter, bet that! Second, Bynum won't be on the bence this time, even thought he's hobbled, just his presence in the paint makes a difference.  Third, this time L.A. has home court baby!

i can think of some reasons for things...
