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!

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.

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.
