I just think it's funny that he quoted that. There weren't exactly any "pearls of wisdom" in that, no offense Onion.

Almost, but no.

Lakers steal games 1 AND 2 in Boston, then win games 4 and 5 at home. So, lakers in 5

Not a chance. LA wins the first 2 in Boston as soon as Kansas' BENCH drafts first round. Boston won both games against LA this year, big. Boston in 6. I'd say 7, but they surprised me in Detroit, which is a hard place to shut down a crowd that sells out every single night. Allen's turned on, which like I said about the Detroit series, had to happen.

the good thing about the big 3 is that when one or two aren't playing well, there is always the third option. No where was the clearer than in cleveland series game 7. However, to win vs the lakers, they need all of them playing at the top of their game

They will be allen pierce and kg haven't come this far for nothing.

detroit for sll its worth broke down and if the celtics feel good about that series they have a false sense of security..if some of those pistons even had half the heart the atlanta hawks did maybe we would be looking at a different finals

but hey boston won and i think that the lakers have just a good a chance against them..seeing that it is the first finals for everybody other than fish and kobe

overall i think coaching will be the key to these finals, as to who adjusts better in the games. I think Phil has the edge since he has more experience and shooting 90% in the finals..

Lakers in 5-6 but i'd rather it be 5 so they can celebrate in staples

purple and gold baby!!!!GO LAKERS

i hope you remember celts had a hard time with the atlanta hawks, cleveland cavs... and detroit showed them they had heart every single game!! so boston may have won big against the lakers during the season,, but this is the finals with the hype of the old rivalry lakers vs, celtics.. hard wood classics re-lived!!! boston better hold their home court down cuz if they dont and lakers steal 1 in boston.. look out CELTIC fans....
lakers in 5!!!
