    Again, this is why the NBA is so far down on my watch list.

    When it comes to the NBA, I am admitted "playoffs only" kind of person. Even last night, I watched more of the hockey game than I did the first half of the C's game.


    agreed...sad too because growing up basketball was my favorite...i have more enthusiasm for the world cup than i do the finals...and i am by no means a big soccer fan

    The refs were awful, but not even the refs could keep the Lakers from getting Rondo'd.

    Shhhhhh...I have to admit I did the same thing except I watched far LESS of the C's game. :shock:

    Going into this series I felt the Lakers were the better team even though I'm picking the C's in 7. That said of the next 3 games I can see the Lakers having a better chance of winning those games about 20% chance. A more likely scenerio is the Celtics winning 2 of 3 which I think they must do in order to have a chance on winning this title.

    The key I think to the series is Lamar Odom, if his head is in the clouds or on a realty series then C's will win their 18th. The Lakers are also very good on the road, but as good as Kobe is he can't pull this title run off by himself.

    Tonight is a very critical game for both teams. If C's win, they have the momentum and confidence to take the rest. If Kobe wins, I fear the C's will be scared and it will affect their game. GO C's!!

    Hell yeah. HUGE game tonight. Just read on ESPN that in the 2-3-2 format, the team who has won game 3 after a 1-1 start has gone on to win the title every time (10-0).

    Definitely think that this game will determine the winner of the series, although I would say the pressure is on the Celtics more than the Lakers.

    My prediction for tonight: Kobe goes off for about 40 points, and the Lakers win 104-99.

    Go Lakers!

    Saw that too. While I respect the history of series game 3s, I don't put too much stock in this. Jalen Rose says he thinks the Cs will win tonight, but lose the series in 7.

    Not that we should be listening to anything Jalen Rose has to say, but it is worth mentioning.

    The lakers should do more passing off the backboard..street style
    Especially with Lamar driving, and Shannon trailing..
