C's in 6.  Celtic are battle tested and have bigs that can bang with the Laker bigs.  Also, the Celtics will not need to play a zone defense.  They play man defense, very good man defense with length all over the court.  Also think the Celtic back coart will give the laker back court hell. If the Lakers want to win this series, they will need to rely on those janky offbalance fade away jumpshots that Kobe was making last night vs. the Suns because better believe there will be a Celtic player in his back pocket all night!

I am not going to root for the lakers but I am going to predict them to win the series in 6 games

Celtics D will win it our bigs are better (Pau is probably best offensively but our D is far superior down low) I think we'll let Kobe have his 30 or whatever we'll shut down everyone else though because he's dangerous when he's getting tons of asst

[Jduncan1]

laker in 6 these teams hate each other going to be and aggrisive series I see perkins missing one game

If Boston had not beat LA a few years back, I'd pick Boston.
However, Kobe will not let LA lose to the Celtics again. Lakers in 6

The public is giving Boston no chance.  Vegas has LA as a 9 to 2 favorite. Basically almost a 2 to 1 favorite.  Most people don't remember but it was the same way 2 years ago.  NO ONE gave the Celtics a chance because of the way the Lakers breezed through the playoffs that year.  This year no one is giving them a chance because the Lakers breezed through the regular season and the Celtics struggled.  However, the Celtics struggles were because they were resting players in hopes of making a playoff run and their philosophy has worked.  The NBA is all about matchups.  I am not worried about Rondo, Peirce, Garnett, or Perkins........they key to this series is the shooting of Ray Allen.  If he is able to get open and knock down the three the Celtics CANNOT be beat.  However if he can't their offense can get very bogged down.  In Jesus Shuttlesworth I believe!!!!

What's Jesus Shuttlesworth?

If Kobe is capable of "not letting the Lakers lose", can you tell me why he "let them lose" two years ago?

Bynum was also hurt that year. Point was Kobe will 'will' the Lakers to win this year.

Then, perhaps, it should be, "Kobe will will the Lakers to win as long as Bynum plays"?
