Lakers vs. Celtics prediction thread
 

Really looking forward to the game tonight being a big Lakers fan and having an older brother who is a Celtics fan. Post your predictions, here are a few of mine.

Series: Lakers in 6
Finals MVP: Is this a real question?? #24
Game 1 score: Lakers 96 Celtics 91

THE CHIEF!!!

I'm going to be spoiled this year when it comes to my sports teams. Red Wings just won the cup, Lakers will be the Champs, Tigers will start playing ball this summer and win the World Series, 49ers will have a good year, and most importantly Notre Dame will rise again this year!

tonight celtics 99-88

Shoot... Irish picks the Lakers, PG1985 picks the celts... Are they both going to lose somehow???

I have not a clue.

I like Boston to take the first two at home and then LA to take the next two in LA. Boston takes game five in LA and comes home to end it in six. I think that the Celtics are going to be too strong inside for them. They pounded the Lakers inside in the two regular season meetings and yes, I know that's the reg season and I know that the Lakers didn't have Gasol then......but they did have Bynum and Boston still pounded them inside. If they can get Odom or Gasol into any kind of foul trouble, it's going to make it hard on the Lakers because they don't have depth on the front-line. I don't think that the Lakers are as invicible as the 4-1 win over SA seems. SA was up by 20 in one loss and 17 in another and another loss came down to a final shot. Add in that the game they won, they won by nearly 20. They were out executed when it mattered but they weren't outplayed the way you would expect a 4-1 margin to indicate. I think Boston is going to show them some real defense here and yes, Kobe's going to get his but we will shut down the rest.

Pierce is going to win the MVP.

Lakers to win it, but you can't predict how. They should blow them out in 4 or 5, but they most likely will be lazy(take it in 6 or 7.) Kobe n' Phil lost in the finals the last chance they had. I don't expect them to lose another one. I wouldn't bet on it though, because an injury to Kobe would give it to Boston. Not exactly a class organization. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that option was taken. This is the same organization that turned their place into a sauna when the Lakers came there in the 80's. There is zero class involved there.

Lakers in 5 and it will be easier than most people think.

Anyone know what tonight's line is, and where the game is at?

Chuck is 2-0 against me and I need some action

Celtics -3
O/U 191.5

Game is in Boston

Lakers sweep
Kobe MVP
Lakers win 101-88 tonight

LOL @ a Kobe supporter questioning anyone's class.

besides his one mistake, Kobe is as big of a class act as it gets in the NBA.

hes a re re with some skills.. wait till he gets the hard foul..he will whine like the fatman on a non turf day

LMAO. Thanks for the laugh of the week.

Please refer to Last Season, The. And "ship his ass outta here" re: Andrew Bynum, and trying to run away like a bitch from a playoff team because they weren't getting him his FOURTH championship quickly enough. And elbowing defenders in the face, etc.

There is a game tonight?

I really disagree. I'm a big Kobe fan so me saying it can be seen as bias, but how is he not a class act? How many guys in the NBA can present themselves like Kobe does in all his interviews? In a league full of thugs and criminals, Kobe is at the top when it comes to class.

His bitching is what brought the team together and is about to get him a 4th championship!

That's ironclad logic. It didn't have anything to do with the awesome play of that dude whose ass he wanted shipped out of there? Or one of the most one-sided trades in NBA history? No, it was Kobe's bitching all along. I wonder if the whole sexual assault thing was part of his master plan to get a fourth ring as well.

They haven't had Bynum for over 40 games! With or without Bynum they would still obviously be in the finals. It was an obvious one sided trade, but both teams got what they wanted out of it. Your Celtics went from bums to in the finals because of a trade for Garnett and getting Allen, so what are you b1tching about?

Lakers by 6

97-91

I questioned the class of the Celtic Organization. Maybe you were still sucking baby bottle when it took place, but they often did turn the Garden into a sauna in those Laker/ Celtic Championship games in the 80's. As far as specific players go, every team has problems with that.

It's alright Ateam, your Celtics finally know how it feels to get into the Finals. It's just to bad that Garnett is going to completely disappear here in the Finals and the Celtics will be embarrassed.

The difference between the Lakers and the Celtics is that guys like Kobe and Fisher show up for big games, and guys like Garnett, Allen, and Pierce run and hide from them.

LOL, good old-fashioned **** talking. That, I enjoy, seriously. It's saying patently false things like "Kobe is a class act" that I find unbelievable. Good luck Irish.

Celtics in 5

I'm a big fan of good **** talk, makes sports that much better. Good luck to you as well Ateam and promise not to take the losses that hard.

That we can agree on Hoss, GO LAKERS!

Lakers in 4.

I have to agree that Kobe has some deficiencies in certain areas of his personality, but I think the guy who has what Kobe lacks is Fisher. Fish has all the team leadership qualities that were missing before he came back to the Lakers. He is very important to this team. He seems like a lot better player now, too. He seems better with age.
