Lakers-Celtics

[HAWKEYESTATE4ever]

Less than two hours from GOOO TIME!!! Who else is pumped?! I have been looking forward to this since Saturday night when Kobe closed out the Suns with unbelievable shot after unbelievable shot down the stretch. Kobe's Drive for FIVE begins tonight! GO LAKERS!!!

I love the Lakers and I respect Kobe and I am looking forward to tonight, BUT...if I see him do that stupid "bottom jaw forward, bearing his teeth" thing...I'm going to punch him right in the back...and run like hell..."grade school playground" style!

Celts have got to steal game 1 or 2. They will be rested,for both games,which is huge for those old,injured legs. I think the Celts will get one in LA early, and then get another in game 6 or 7 to close out the Lakers.

If the Lakers hold home court in games 1 and 2, this series will go 5 , maybe 6 games (LA will not lose all 3 in Boston no matter what).

If Boston steals one of the first two in LA, I think Boston will come back to LA up 3-2, in which case the Lakers will win Game 6, and then it is all on the line in Game 7, where anything can happen. Game 1 is a must win for LA IMO.

Also, anyone else HATE how the format changes for the Finals? In the first three rounds, it is a 2-2-1-1-1 format. In the Finals it switches to 2-3-2. The home team winning the middle three games is almost impossible. This hurt the Lakers a lot back in the '08 Finals. Hopefully this works in their advantage this time around.
