**The finals** La Lakers V Boston Celtics What if?

[AK47DR91]

I dont want to speculate on who would win in a series of LA/Boston....However, I will say that these are two different teams coming around now. Boston is not going to just bounce LA right out of the scene like the first time around...Not to mention Boston's bench is about as weak as LA's if you ask me.....


It would be interesting, but it COULD go either way this time around....where as, the first time, I was pretty sure the Celts had it in the bag. But that was 2 years ago.

Tony Allen and Davis >>> Lakers bench.

My only concern about the Lakers is how Gasol-Bynum-Odom will play.
Gasol and Odom had no defense against Boston's big men. Is Bynum really that great on D to make a big difference?

[Yung D-Will]

This series would be decided completely on How Artest defends Pierce.

[dbugz]

Hell yea Lakers would Kill the celtics tho. Lakers 4-2 or 4-1

Just like how most of the users here predict that the Cavs will sweep the Cs?

This series would be decided completely on How Artest defends Pierce.

More on how Kobe will defend Rondo

I'd be a giddy school kid all over again, same as 2008. Its the Dream Finals for us Celtics fans...the two best franchises in NBA history. Hell, even if Boston didn't win it I'd be thrilled to watch it again.

The Lakers are probably "the other team" I watch most that aren't the Celtics...just because I feel like I have to know what's coming should we meet in the NBA Finals. Its just natural for me after 21 years of Celtics fanhood. I know what they're capable of and I don't get mad when they beat us because I KNOW that sometimes we will lose to an equal/better team and the Lakers are that team year-in and year-out.

Lol at Perk > Bynum.

Bynum is playing injured. And has been highly ineffective since they found out of his injury. And this is against a Utah team with a small ass frontcourt and no interior defender. Perkins is a way better defender than Bynum, there's no doubt he's going to shut Bynum down if they made it. So, Perkins > Bynum and there's lol about it brah.

If la and boston plays there are gonna be suspensions Idk why but I have that feeling. The atmosphere and rivalry between these 2 teams is too big. Garnett will emerge from a group faster than ever before

But yeah in LA during that series it was just epic. I want bos.

Celtics in 5 or 6. The Lakers have been taking advantage of midget teams (they're about to go against a thrid one in the Suns). The C's size matches up favorably with LA and LA's weak bench would get exposed. And if Bynum isn't healthy they'd be in deep shiit.

What happenz if the Celtics defeat the Lakers again. What then?

[wally_world]

Suns vs Celtics

[Batz]

What happenz if the Celtics defeat the Lakers again. What then?

They choked...

[mamba24]

They choked...

well it would mean that garnet has live up to his promise of a guaranteed title...but that means he still has another year of promises to fulfill...

[LA.MJ&KB#1]

I personally want a rematch LA and Boston. Nothing else needs to be said.

Lakers in 6.

[Sakkreth]

Boston is not playing in this years finals, they get beaten by magic if they reach ECF, anyways and to do that i give them only 50% at max.
