Lakers vs. Celtics prediction thread

[docicu3]

Okay here's the most important sequence so far the Lakers have a little streak going do they build on it do the Celts bitch slap them to a middle double digit lead again. As soon as the defense slacked even a foot the whole thing changed. Look for a healthy dose of PP and swarming defense again. Let's see if Kobe wants to drive down low to pick up fouls worthy of being sent to the line instead if the BS jump shot game he's been content with.

In 208 playoff series of the modern NBA era where a team won the first 2 games of a 7 game series 202 of those teams won the series........draw your own conclusions about this one.

This very year that trend was not followed.
This is a very homer year for whatever reason.

Doesn't the team with home court get the first 2 games of every series and thus the stat holds.

San Antonio lost the first two to New Orleans this playoff year
and won the series. I may have misunderstood you stat.

I think it is highly possible for LA to go back and win two.
Then we are back to a 3 game series essentially.

Vulvachic for 3? Really, Phil?
