Only way I will concede the Celtics are done is if they lose tomorrow, they win tomorrow, its anyone's series. The Celtics have shown they can win in LA and vice versa with the Lakers.
Celtics almost won without anything from Pierce or Allen and with half the team in foul trouble.
I have faith we will be going back to LA up 3-2 on Sunday or they lose the next 2 games and let me focus on Football and Baseball

Only reason Boston was in the game was Kobe's terrible shots. That's what concerns me, I highly doubt he's having two bad games in a row, he tends to come out better than ever after that. Remember the Denver series last year, IN Denver? He went off in that one game following a poor one.
Boston just has to work hard but I think the size is killing them. I'd honestly think about putting KG at SF, he's just not getting rebounds anymore like he used to.
Boston's biggest issue is rebounding. It's killing them and it's why Kobe and the other 3 starters can play poorly and win. Missed shots aren't a big deal for LA, in a game like last night.

Also, I like that Cleveland is smart enough to reach out the Jeff Van Gundy. He's probably the absolute best available fit for a team with LeBron. But, the supporting cast still sucks.

All the importants stats our saying Los Lakers will win a second straight(Phil's First Win of a Series Streak and Winner of Game 3 in a 1-1 NBA Finals Series has won the Title 10 out of 10 times) NBA Championship for us in Lakers Nation, but they still need to get a lead and maintain it. Too many times this year and in 2008 the Lakers got a nice lead, only to fumble it and either lose or almost lose the game. That dont mean poop. ANYTHING can happen. Last time i checked, i heard something similar about The Patriots heading into the SuperBowl against The G-MEN. "They're 18-0, NY has no  ing chance". Boy did they prove just about the whole world wrong (and this is coming from a NE fan). 2004 ALCS come to mind? Out of 26 teams, The Red Sox were the first to force a game seven after being in a 3-0 deficit, and they en won. They won the World Series too by the way. This is the exact same reason why they're going to lose. They think they have it in the bag now just because of some ridiculous statistics. Plus, undefeated streaks are bound to be broken sometime. Okay? All I said was the stats are leaning the Lakers way. I never said they would win or the Lakers will rest easy because due to the stats. Just something I heard yesterday in-between Starsburg hype. Calm down, likely Celtics fan. |

I wouldn't go that far. I think it's the Lakers series and have since they took game 1. But if the Celtics rip off these next two, which is very possible, they just need one in LA. The Lakers played like crap last night and were lucky to win that game. They had 13 assists total, and only 2 in the second half and absolutely 0 in the 4th quarter.
The Lakers didn't win anything in terms of serious momentum last night. If Ray Allen or Paul Pierce hit even 3 more shots, completely different game.
Hell, the Lakers only scored 91 points and their defense on Boston didn't look any different than when those shots were going in for Allen and we all know Pierce could catch fire.
Just saying, I don't think it's a given the Lakers win this but yea they are the favorites right now.

Like I said, gun to my head, I was taking the Lakers this series and that the Celtics have been counted out EVERY series so far and have surprised people.
Tomorrow is Game 7 for them pretty much.
Considering pretty much everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong and if they can all get it together for a game....this series is not over

Boston could still come alive and be a serious threat to LA. LA hasn't looked that consistent in games 2 and 3. They've looked pretty bad and won game 3 purely on rebounding. I know Fisher came up big but LA was out rebounding them and that was the real difference. Like I said, if Allen or Pierce combine to make even 3 more shots, even with all of LA's rebounding, Boston could have won that game.
There's an edge for LA because they got game 3 and it's highly unlikely Kobe plays that poorly again, but if LA plays like that again and Boston gets 2 in a row... Megan Fox and company might be setting your alarm for you when you can't move to do it yourself...

Tomorrow would be a great time for Pierce to finally show up offensively. I'm hoping at least two of the big three are on their A-game in game 4. As we saw in the last two games, only one of them doing good is barely enough.

I like how everybody is already counting Boston out. Jesus, the series it 2-1 with the next two games being in Boston. THey could very well lead the series 3-2 by the time they head into LA.

The series is far from over. The Celtics were in the same position against the Cavs. Although tonight is essentially a must-win for them.

I love when the referee assignments are handed out, I read one Boston reporter write "I guess I can start my "How big of a difference being with Kendrick Perkins in Game 5" story now"
Just shows how awful the refereeing is and people are already drawing conclusions.

No doubt the officiating in the finals has been some of the worst in recent memory. But no one can say the're favoring one team, seeing as both teams have been getting screwed pretty badly.

I just want to watch tomorrow's game so bad but I can't, got some work to do. I hope Boston wins, because if not, it's not going game 7.

ESPN is saying Izzo is leaning towards taking the Cavs job, what an idiot.
