Celtic and Lakers anyone

g under p

It's ain't over till it's over. We are talking about the Lakers possibly playing two out in LA. Nothing is a given at this point in the season. I did see more weaknesses in the Lakers in this game. One man Kobe won't win this title for the Lakers, it's GOING to take a TEAM effort to win this title.

You know the Lakers are going to get every call in game 6 ... good ol' Stern will make sure of that, and that he gets a game 7.

That game no doubt will be ugly for sure but if the Lakers intend for Kobe to win this championship by himself well even the refs won't help them win.

yeah, his supporting cast (the kobeaires?) was pretty putrid tonight.

Great game. Nice to see the refs take a step away from the spotlight.

well that was a big bag of shit

Another nice win built on defense. It won't be easy taking one in LA.

I thought the same thing. All they need is one...we've gotta get #18.

Lakers will come out gunning in game 6 and the refs won't be giving the Cs any breaks, so we're left with basically a coin flip on Thursday night. Although it was a bloodbath 2 years ago in game 6 in LA, so you never know.

I used to be a big NBA guy, but this league is unwatchable nowadays. The constant whining, flopping, and borderline crooked officiating is a travesty.

I've tried really hard to watch this series (its the Lakers vs Celtics, come on!), but its a joke. Me being a Pistons fan (yes I know they suck right now), I naturally hate both of these teams so I really dont have a rooting interest. I just want to see good basketball. And that is not what the NBA is.

I mean seriously, Paul Pierce belongs in the WNBA how he acts. And Big Baby? Yeah great, I want to see a grown man drooling all over the court like he did the other night. The lakers arent any better. If Kobe (or any star) drove the lane and didnt cry for a foul if one wasnt called, it would be a miracle.

Sorry, I just hate what this league that I used to love has turned in to. And no Im not talking about 2004 when the Pistons won it. It sucked then too.

End rant.

I'd be willing to throw a couple hundred down on the Lakers in game 6 if you're man enough to back up your words.

What do you say?

If you're so confident, you don't need to have it.

You're right, Kobe's teammates need to step up. Gasol and Odom especially, and I would say Artest, but I've pretty much lost all faith in him to do anything offensively.

But this isn't the Lakers of '08, and game 5 was pretty much what it was supposed to be -- a tough, close game, with the home team having the advantage. I would say the Celtics came closer to unfolding at the end than did the Lakers (it was really the third quarter that was their downfall, but they showed how much they AREN'T like '08 by coming back within 5 in the 4th. They would have lost by 20 if this was '08.)

I think Phil said it best: this is pretty much what was supposed to happen...Lakers having home court for games 6 and 7 with a chance to close it up at Staples. Although neither team held court, each losing once at home, it boils down to the same thing going into game 6.

I guarantee the Lakers will win; look for them to go up early in game 6 and win by 10+ before wrapping it up in game 7.

so we have one celtic guarantee and one laker guarantee.

i guarantee one of you will be wrong.

i agree with a lot of this.

Lakers in 6! And I don't mean they will win game 6. I mean they will claim the series in game 6. After losing by 73 points, the Celtics will agree to not even bother with a game 7.
