Two years ago game 4 proved to be the game that changed the series, Lakers up 20+ at home looks like they are going too tie the series at 2-2 but the Pierce went off and you all know what happened.
This time around this game will have the same effect....this will be the game that breaks the Celtics backs. The Lakers will win, probably not overcoming a 20+ defecit but they will win period.

Lakers +4 -120....for sure.
Why don't you just go ahead and use the "L" word? You can't look at the 2008 series between these teams and compare it to this series. The teams are completely different now both because of new players and age.
I'm on the other side of this. Boston could've easily won that last game even though Pierce and Allen both struggled from the field. I still expect them to go back to LA up 3-2.
I think Kobe might get his 30 this game but he'll also have to put up at least 25-30 shots to do it and that will take away from the Lakers best player so far in this series which has been Gasol. Kobe hasn't been awful in this series but he's not been the usual Kobe either. He's taken 71 shots in these 3 games and made 39% of them compared to Gasol's 35 shots which he's made 57%. For the Lakers to win I think Kobe has to realize that Gasol has the better matchup in this series against the Celtics bigs than he does against either of the Allen's, Pierce or even Rondo.
I'll also take my chance with Ray not going 0-13 and Pierce playing more than 34 minutes. Expect a lot of calls to go in the C's favor tonight.

Beantown -3. Also on the UNDER
I start the thread for game 3 predicting the lakers would win and win the series in 6 but I am revising the series prediction, I believe they win in 5 games. Yes they will sweep all 3 in Boston. Like you said this series is different then 08,,,,The Lakers are better. Artest will keep shuting down Pierce and Bynum will continune to open up the inside for Gasol. Boston's only hope is if Ray Ray makes 42 3's.
Yes the teams are different from 2008, the Lakers are a much better team then Boston.

Lakers win game 4 and close it out in game 5.
lol. you have got to be kidding me right? Even though you're probably a Lakers fan, you have to stop lying to yourself. The very least, Lakers will win it all in game 6. They will for sure not sweep Boston 3x at home. Ridiculous. They caught up and almost won and that is without the help of Rondo, Peirce and Ray Ray.
Tonights game will be a difficult one.. Boston is currently at -4, meaning that Vegas wants more money to go with the Lakers to try to even out the bets. That being said, I still like Boston in this position. Expect a great game from the big 4.
O/U - Clueless.. can go either way.. Early lean on the Under just bc they are at the TD Garden.
