Lakers vs Celtics -2008 NBA Finals
I'm so thankful to Lakers for eliminating the Spurs but I definitely
want to see the Celtics champions.
Lakers preferred to see Pistons since Boston matches them better.
My guess:Celtics in 6

Lakers in 5.
Ok, well I have no idea how many games, but the 2,3,2 format helps the Lakers, especially considering that Celtics have struggled on the road, and the Lakers are unbeaten at home in the playoffs.

this might seem like stating the obvious but this will come down to how boston defends Kobe. They don't have a really good wing defender in their starting lineup other than pierce who has been playing some stellar defense in the playoffs. If he can do a good job on kobe, the Celtics will do their thing and win. if not, the lakers take it. the matchups are kinda interesting for this series as well.
Fisher > Rondo (not by a whole lot)
Kobe > Allen (not to say that allen isn't a very good player)
Pierce >>>>Radmanovic (sp?)
Garnett > Odom
Pau > Perkins
Lakers bench is more of a younger energy group, while the celtics are jam-packed with veterans. Posey will be the key to this series for them off the bench.
celtics in 6

Congrats to David Stern. Your job in manipulating the ideal Finals match up has worked.

well boston beat the pistons (one of the best home teams in the league) twice at home. Boston is also incredible at home. i think the 2,3,2 format favors the lakers, actually. if they take care of business at home then they are up 1 game going back to boston to finish it out. luckily for the lakers, they have the best closer in the game and can give the celtics a run for their money in boston because of that

Celtics in 6 games
regular season: Celtics 2-0
L 94-107
L 91-110
* no Pau "pout is all" Gasol in either game but I don't see him as a factor in this series. Looks like Allen got his touch back and the Celtics are on a roll and running on all cylinders.
can't wait for this series. How Ironic that both the best teams got massive help in trades (gasol / Garnett) this season.

But for the life of me, I can't imagine why someone would want to own an NBA team if he cared more about breaking even than winning a championship. What's the point? Anyway, if I were fortunate enough to own an NBA team, I would never, ever, EVER favor my pockets over a chance at a title. It's like going to Vegas for a guy's weekend and refusing to lose more than $100. Why even go then? Just stay home.-Bill Simmons

Actually, I like the celtic matchup better. The have nobody to cover Kobe. Yes, the physicality of the celtics will hurt the lakers but the pistons would too in that area. I think where the Lakers are going to hurt the celts is in bench play. I think the lakers youth and celts age is going to play out a lot like the hawks series.
IMO
Should be a heck of series! |

Lakers in 5...maybe 6. Split in the first two, then come home and kick their dirty green asses.
Paul Pierced already doing a "Beat LA" chant. What a freaking idiot.
